From PFN: Use him as a slot WR. I don't care if the blocking is coming slow, the Bills have seen what Travis Kelce can do one time too many.

OK brass tacks time people: At this point, I don't care if Kincaid can block or not. Know is ok at that. Ideally we bolster the line in the draft. What we needed as a first round splash is something, anything, that reliably prevents teams from bracket covering Diggs every game. I don't care if we play him in the slot every snap, I want enough over the middle catches that it finally sinks home that you can't do that to Diggs anymore.

I mean, I will wait on some tape, but this seems like one of the picks I've heard and it was right in the nieghborhood. We need something to take attention off of Diggs

Am I crazy or did no pass catchers (WRs or TE) get taken in the first 18 picks? That is wild to me.

Jesus, the Texans got fleeced to not take a QB. Just why

Don Lemon had multiple accusations of mysogeny and, this is probably the sad reason, wasn't drawing the kind of numbers the brass wanted. Welcome to the reality of capitalism. Corporations have zero incentive to keep anything the moment it swings from asset to liability. But seriously, do you think I give a moist fart for Don Lemon?

Ahh yes. Such logic is inscrutable. Ignore multiple objectively accurate events that can be independently verified. "Ur dum lol" Quite the witty riposte.

Is that your code for "media literate" and "not a fuggin' moron sheep lapping up an outrage machine to blind you from the people picking your pocket?" Because I'm treating it like one

The more I read the more I'm convinced that the firing is more of a cumulative issue: the multiple lawsuits about the 2020 election claims, the comments he made about management coming to light during discovery, the "FBI plant" conspiracy shilling, the selective "they had tour guides" video editing, a pending harassment lawsuit. Take your pick. This might have gotten a less popular talking head at a less insane network canned ages ago. But now faced with an actual consequence I don't think Tucker could have gotten away with business as usual. I think it's more finally hitting a boiling point than any one thing. Dude already had a bank. And he will get invited to plenty of White Nationalist speaking engagements

I mean I am sure that the lawsuit had an indirect effect. I highly doubt that Murdoch got hit on the settlement with many more lawsuits pending and didn't get some advice from his lawyers to reduce liability. I am sure that Tucker could have gotten by on general statements via "people are saying" and "I'm just asking questions" but he has gotten in deep on a few claims. I have zero proof, so take it for what it's worth

You mean like the "FBI plant" among the insurrectionists?

I mean, I am here for all of the jokes about this being part of the Dominion settlement but this doesn't quite jive. If it was Dominion has no reason to lie because they'd want to celebrate collecting scalps. What I can believe is that a nearly $787 million payout has changed the network's calculus on letting hosts make specific, defamation case worthy claims. Tucker has one already when he called one of the Jan 6 goons an FBI plant and some of the things he did with the Jan 6 footage. I am speculating, but it would not shock me if the rein were getting pulled hard and fast and Tucker balked. The man is already well off and doesn't need the money. He will land on his feet at some other zit of an organization or start a podcast network.

It's draft time. Take everything you hear from a GM with a grain of salt

As in it's unglamorous but useful and lets you spend money elsewhere?

He's solid, but the eagles have major investment in Kelce and their tackles. It's not shocking to me that they had to let a good o line player walk

Ick. He's actually a good player. So long as he's not on the Phins

My stance is that I would have understood if he never played again after what he went through. I still think we draft a guy in the later rounds

It's a shame that he could never stay consistent

No such thing

I am assuming that Poyer and his camp took less than they wanted, which is why his agent isn't screaming the deal he got from the rooftops

Two years. I can't imagine it's back breaking money but that's a good length. I'd still look at drafting a S in the mid rounds

On a more serious note, I've been wondering for a day or two. If Poyer didn't get a flood in the open market it makes a lot of sense to stay. I'm glad, one fewer hole to fill.

Oooooooof. I think the fan base was too hard on Edmunds but that is just way too much money. Edmunds and Milano are a lot alike in play. But $18 million a year? Heck no for me

I'm curious to see what is guaranteed money. Because Seattle has Denver's 1st round and 2nd round picks for the next two drafts I absolutely can see them front loading guarantees and then scouring project rookies in the next two years. With a reliable if unspectacular vet at QB locked up, they can afford to do their homework. Can you imagine them trading back again this year to get three first rounders?
