Since we all fell for the JJ Watt and other Twitter bait, let’s also hold our breath for this as well. Should work out fine. Beane does have a habit of bringing in FA RBs pre draft, then drafting RBs.

Turn on ESPN today and after waking up from a coma you fell into after the AFC championship game and you’d believe NE won free agency thereby making them presumptive SB champs and the Dolphins locked up a dynasty for the SBs to follow. I get the draft feels far away, and SNL won’t make fun of current politicians, but the hot take machines are at full blast at the moment it feels out of sheer boredom.

mmm It reminds me of the original Tecmo Bowl for Nintendo when the NFL didn’t let them use the actual team names.

Spotrac and other sites list us has being at the cap even before the most recent signing. How were we even in the Watt sweepstakes before everyone’s paycuts?

This off-season has been a lesson in not believing rumors. Whether getting strung along by so called insiders or Jj Watt himself, it seems best to celebrate the successes and bemoan the losses that have been confirmed. And i’m one of them. I got caught up and I was hopeful for Fuller or Mack. But let’s also admit that Trubisky is worth exactly what he signed for. This Madden scale of signing a 73 overall for the price of a 72 is worth a hill of beans. I’m a Beane believer but this one wasn’t him at his height of executive power. It was between us and other teams with established starters and limited odds of seeing non-preseason snaps. The inconvenient truth is that Mitchell signed with us because Josh’s playing style lends itself to injury. He sees an opportunity to play well in relief and get a rich contract next year. Good for him but i’m hoping that against all odds that he’s just a comforting presence in the QB room and an expert clipboard commando.

I understand that it was an extra spot, but it still doesn’t follow their m.o. If there was no smoke and no fire, I’d think that they’d clap him on the back last year and say “thanks for hanging out,” and wish him cheerio on his trip back over the pond instead of stringing him along. That’s all. I am biased, I’ll admit. I like his personality and appreciate the chance he’s taking with his career. I’m rooting for him.

There has to be a reason he’s been occupying a PS spot. McBeane and Co don’t seem to be the type to make a meaningless roster move. With as much as everyone is sucking down the process, I think there’s a plan for him.

Exactly. The Bears just did offer him up in a package for Russel Wilson. And not even the centerpiece! I wouldn’t be happy about that if I was Mack

For those are impressed with the Trubisky signing, I hear Beane only paid $1 for something at the Dollar Store.

how injured is he currently?

Mayfield is Manzeil light, all the ego with half the career sabotage

It’s our own fault. We let JJWatt drag us for 2 weeks on Twitter so why not have an insider let us down too?

Starting to think that the Chiefs game had real consequences. Bojo’s shank gets him his walking papers, and perhaps that horrible drop gets Motor his spot on the reserves. I’d go for Lindsay unless he’s got some legal case pending.

Inquiring minds want to know why Denver gave up on him.

It is almost spring time. Best time to buy them

I think they’re confusing him with Xavien Howard because they’ve heard his name more often.

Is this the first time he’s flown in a while? I flew in March last year when the mask policy was in place. And what’s worse about throwing a fit about it is that you can take your mask off to eat and drink. A surprising number of people “forget” to put it back on and simply pull it back up when the flight attendant reminds you. Definitely a bad look.

Maybe twice?

Stone Cold Steve Austin? Have you seen his elbow?

I loved his enthusiasm and was a strong voice in all of the mic’d up videos. Just wish he would have chose deep playoff runs instead of a quick payday.

This plus the jab about free agents who didn’t want to even pass through, was worth the money.

Lebron James raised millions of dollars for the Boys and Girls Club and other charities while stringing along viewers for 75 minutes. He gets the Decision thrown back at him every legacy discussion. JJ Watt created fake peloton account and strung multiple teams and fan bases along on social media over several weeks. He will get the Youtube video of when he "married" a little girl played back to him just to see if he remembers how charming he was. This is indicative of the major problem in our society. An issue we are inherently blind to because we're too close to the problem. Its hairline discrimination and its wrong. Lebron can't help genetics. He gets his hairline fixed and somehow he gets even more criticism. Meanwhile JJ Watt has hairline privilege and enjoys all the benefits therein. You all need to educate yourselves.

I call BS. If money wasn’t the main factor, then why was this so absurdly public? And the “leaked” salary requirements? What was the point of dragging multiple fanbases on social media? I can’t hate the man as a person given all of his charity work, but I have to say i’ve lost some respect for him as a player with all these histrionics. He didn’t even do anything particularly clever like ask the fanbases of said team to donate the most to charity to influence his decision. That would have been something.

It hurt to see them extend. Almost as much as EA keeping the NFL simulation gaming rights. As if no one cares about the product or customers.
