That can happen in a 5 on 5 sport with a shallow roster, and the ability of one star to change a franchises future for 10+ years. A franchise qb can have a huge effect on a franchise, but nowhere near the effect one FA signing in NBA can afford. Look no further than Burrow! If league hard resets today, hes a top 3 pick. Sure they've benefited from him... but compare his effect to the NBA. How many singular guys could sing be more valuable to a teams future, compared to his on an NFL team. There's got to be 30+ guys in the NBA that would change a franchises win% more than a Burrow does the NFL. Its never happening.

That's a solid pickup for SF. What the heck is Washington doing at the RB position? They now only have Ekeler & a rookie 7th rounder. They seem likely to take a step back this year.

when it comes down to it the NFL is a bunch of old wealthy white guys who dont like their employees telling them what to do. Sanders wanted to do his own thing, well, that usually has consequences in the real world. do i believe the NFL colluded? sure, theyve been caught multiple times, zero reason to think otherwise. we all have to know our place in this world. you want to rock the boat, pick a fight with somebody bigger than you, you better know you can win. just how it is.

even if they did it is their business and shold be allowed to do as they please

They don’t need to declare the severity of it. He had a hand injury and practiced fully each week

Obviously to throw people into unmarked windowless vans. Fascists!!!

He invested 1.2 billion in the stadium, but some of you have an issue with him spending his own money on something he wants? Christ people...

Most of this is just nothingburgers (Cook's hold-in was like a week and ended positively, Gabe Davis isn't even signed, preseason is just preseason and injuries happen), but I do agree that New England looks poised to push us. And I do slightly worry about the mindset of the team (McDermott imploring the vets to get it in gear during that one clip) and whether they aren't distracted by the Hard Knocks stuff. I can definitely see a slow start to the season where we are forced to play catch-up to push past the Pats (see 2023).

So the higher a guy is drafted, they get a bigger contract which means the agent also gets a little bigger cut. So can't see agents really pushing for this unless they know their client isn't going to fair well in this process. Can't imagine someone wouldn't "break rank" and then they get drafted higher and get the bigger $$'s

Right. Probably worried that the NFL will become the NBA where the players hold all the power.

Brian Robinson Jr reportedly headed to the Niners. Odd trade for both sides - Commanders with big playoff aspirations and Niners just traded away Mason who was one the most productive backs in the league last year when he started for them.

This is easily explained aside from typical Bills doom and gloom - I’m pretty sure most here felt like winning the division last year was a long shot. Just hope to get in the playoffs? Now it feels like we can legit win the whole thing. So with the expectation of a Super Bowl win - not a division title - win the whole thing. Here are our pre season “highlights.” 1. We resigned our own - that’s great but they’ve been here and our D was terribly mid last year - how is it better? 2. The 2 new Def line guys get suspended 3. The 3 Rookie D line guys have played a majority of the snaps in 2 preseason games where we got shredded. Nothing to get super excited about …… yet. 4. Our first round pick has a significant injury where we may not see him till October 5. Our starting safety we are counting on can’t stay on the field. The coach is essentially calling him out. 6. The first “hold out” under Beane happened. 7. We have looked God awful in the 2 preseason games - not counting the 1st quarter vs the Giants where Bosa and Milano looked great. 8. Why was Gabe Davis here? 9. Tre White hurt. 10. Competition from New England is legit. Their schedule is very easy and they look ready to take the next step. I think Maye is the best QB of that rookie class. Their rookie RB is lighting it up. They will be tough. The challenges from the Dolphins and Jets were based on a HOF QB add that fizzled out and then Tua got hurt. This is different.

The thing that is “not a good look” is the judgmental look cast in the direction of others, with commentary. I’m wearing Cole Haan deck shoes. They cost about $110.

His uncles, neighbors, girlfriend, blind, son works at High Mark. He does face painting there.

🎯

the sad reality is the life expectancy of new stadiums in the league is only 20-30 years. so we very well could be facing this discussion against really quick.

The implication is implied- flashy black man. Not exactly a new phenomenon for the nfl to decide worth exposing its arse over. Where'd he "hear" this? Deion? 😂

I mean, I'm pretty damn anti-corporate and think the NFL is a deeply problematic institution as much as I love the game. That said, it is absolutely an honor and a privilege to be able to play a child's game for millions upon millions of dollars. If a player isn't willing to go through a rudimentary interview process for the handful of teams that are actually interested in him, then what does that say about the player? What does that say about him being a real team player? What does that say about his abillity to tough out the tiny, little, annoying fragments of the grinding and brutal life of actually being an NFL player in the long run? That you, especially already one the son of a mega millionaire celebrity, have some holier than thou attitude and say that you're the exception? Obviously a team's front office won't like that, but if I was another player, I wouldn't be too thrilled with the guy either, especially since he has plenty of question marks and isn't undeniably some pre-destined Hall of Famer. Everyday Americans put in more effort to find a 9-5 job in this current market than what it sounds like what this kid did for teams leading up to the draft. He deserves no sympathy, and although I doubt the accuracy of this story, I'm glad it turned out the way it did and he wasn't rewarded for his behavior.

HIPAA doesn't apply to NFL players as they sign waivers along with their contract as per the CBA.

Exactly?? The teams draft players that can help them win-period! Why would his dad who has inside knowledge of the nfl interview process, not prepare SS better ? He and SS are arrogant narcissistic people who believe they are above an interview. I’m guessing that each GM and coach went through extensive prep for the positions they are in. Why would a person with $$$$ on the line not prepare. Given he has the privilege of his dad’s connections and fame why act that way. Somehow SS is a victim. Then after a preseason game he attacks a journalist.. the kid just doesn’t get it. And he never will.

I’m kinda shocked so many of you still put any stock whatsoever in a pre season game If we beat them by the same score instead of getting whooped, I’d feel the exact same way as I do now about the team. I don’t start drawing any conclusions or start trying to predict the future until I see them play 3-4 regular season games

LOL ok Grampa Dickerson
