Toddlers.

If he can stay healthy, that will be a bargain based on his improvements last year.

You're correct that we may never know the answer, but if they sellout early in March or April (as predicted in the BN article) that's a clear indication that they're very close to their target revenue. Legends knows what they're doing, they aren't going to prematurely drop PSL prices and forgo millions in revenue just to say "Hey look, we sold out 6 months early!"

The only time the Panthers ever played the Oilers in the NFL

Yes

Infection of the tear ducts.

If I'm making roster and financial decisions for an NFL team, I'm taking everything on a case by case basis and not making sweeping generalizations based on positional value. I can see a very strong justification for paying Cook more than some of the guys who got extensions this offseason. JMO.

if you’re right, would you agree any politician who buys huge amounts of Tesla stock during this “sale” should be investigated?

You’re right, he’s $10 million a year, not $12 million 🙄 the bigger point I’m trying to make is the impact these guys have on the game. I’ll ask again, what would be considered a successful season stats wise for Palmer (and for Bateman, considering this thread is about his deal)? We know that Cook has an impact on every game, and at this point we are all hoping Palmer has an impact on some games. Also, not really sure how comparing yards is a new thing….1400 yards is 1400 yards

Congrats Steeler fans! Uh, sorry for you.

Totally not staged in any way.

Many Muslims are good people but many of them have chosen not to assimilate to be an American in any way and that should not be praised or rewarded. It is not offensive that JFK had to state outright that his allegiance was to the country over the Pope because of his Catholicism and Zohran should be plain on what parts of Sharia law he agrees with. If he wants no Sharia law in the US I will listen to him but we have to end this belief that other cultures are equal to the US.

This guy played ball 45 minutes from me and I never heard of him.

Rodgers has a history of disrespecting his HC that goes back quite a few years. I remember him once screaming towards Mike McCarthy on the sideline during a game, "F###ING STUPID!!!" He publicly disrespected Saleh on game days as well, and caused a culture rift in Jersey. It will be interesting to see how the relationship between Rodgers and Tomlin develops. In the past, Rodgers has expressed admiration for Tomlin. But now that they're on the same team, I can't wait to see how Tomlin, who seems to have exactly zero tolerance for Bullsh!t, handles Rodgers' gameday demeanor. I may just start following the Steelers.

I think he is at least making the PS with a chance to crack the roster This was a fantastic pickup by Beane ... He is really plugged into FCS programs and has a knack for identifying NFL talent there This kid is a tremendous athlete who with our coaching I think he could legitimately bloom into a potential starter in a couple years But I like his play style and I think he has a good amount of potential

I don't disagree, but Owen still has players ahead of him that he has to beat out. Like a number of posters, I've been critical of both Rapp and Hamlin, but the fact is they started most or all of the games at safety in 2024. Likewise, Derrick Forrest has started games in the NFL and has at least decent athleticism. Cole Bishop struggled with injury early in his rookie campaign, but came on late. Reports this spring are that he's in great shape and is now very comfortable in the defense and making very quick reads. Then, of course, Jordan Hancock is a draft pick that has position flexibility, mostly slot and safety. That's vie players who are presumably ahead of Owen in the minds of the coaching staff apart from of field observations. That means Owen probably has to jump two players to be assured of roster spot in September. He can do that either through his own stellar play, or players in front of him either disappointing coaches with their play or getting injured. Yeah, most other positions on the team are more settled, but the path to a roster spot is still no piece of cake for a UDFA at safety.

I don't think Hamlin will be on the team after 2 pre-season games.

It's been four years since Rodgers was a relevant quarterback and he's 41 on a mediocre Steelers team lol

The Steelers are even a less talented team than the Jets were on offense. Poor OL, one decent receiver, no RB, mediocre TE, and oh by the way, a seriously over the hill QB who cannot even spell team. This will not end well, not that I care.

They said it was supposed to correlate with the Niagara Falls and Fall being football season. I didn't think it was the greatest title choice but never took it as offensive as some people did.

Just a few thoughts on the topic... I see some people asking the question "who watches every NFL game?" That misses the larger issue which is that the cost of watching the NFL continues to increase. That's the issue. Another issue is whether the cost of watching games is "fair." Some argue that the cost is fair based on simple market economics... "what the market will bear." However with the wealth inequality in this country there is an inequality in who can afford to watch the games, so to me it's a bit more complex than "what the market will bear" because the league is pricing out loyal and longtime customers that helped build the league. I'm with @Logic and @Simon in the opinion that the monopoly and greed of the NFL justifies a reaction of contempt and arguably justifies acts of piracy. I don't personally practice piracy but I don't have a problem with those that do. I always say you're only as principled as you can afford to be. At these prices I can still afford to be principled. If someday I decide not to pay an arm and a leg to the NFL, then they will lose my revenue. What will be interesting is what the NFL will do when higher prices create a drop in revenue. Will the NFL lower prices to increase the number of paying customers or will they simply raise prices on their remaining customers?
