let me know which of those injuries would jeopardize an established players impending free agency in any truly meaningful way

He should maximize his outcomes - I don’t dispute that I’m just not sure he’s gaining much in the equation with this specific approach

which is, of course, the quickest way to a nagging soft tissue injury during the season theres no great way through it… but odds are his career won’t be ended in August. Even an acl today sees him back to 100% come next year, as opposed to a late season one. he’d be able to workout next spring Popping his Achilles would be basically the only this in August that would really impact his next deal largely.

Pegula is paying the same revenue split either way. you are actually just quibbling over how many slices cook gets, not how much pizza to order

very few running back careers have ended at practice may he not look his best playing injured or missing time? Sure. But this isn’t his best either.

yea, it very well could be home field and a bye

anything particularly interesting?

im not sure if you are familiar but its a pretty big marketing and PR week for the league, and they like to incentivize players to show up to the various events. likewise, most players have no real expectation of being in this years Super Bowl and are likely much less emotional about that than you think. I knew you were in aqib Talibs crew!

A debate on whether Wilkins was tickling teammates in 2024 is not a great merge here. Should’ve remained separate threads.

it used to be in person vs a 17 inch black and white tv the equation is wildly different now

And he was toast

there are very few 10m guys that could tilt the balance of a franchise that’s a Super Bowl contender a healthy bosa can be that, albeit not a slam dunk

it’s a multi billion dollar franchise. anything the home team installs, both sides should get access to. because the home team picks their sideline the visitors should get to travel with whatever they want. Let terry p finance any type of shade/cooling he wants to pay for on road trips. It’s a sliver of the paychecks at this point. This isn’t 1970 and only the well to do franchises could afford portable shade options,

Not the greatest back from his team (OJ); or in his era (Barry) If you write the book of best backs by team or by decade, he doesn’t get his own chapter but he’s in the hall and still getting some recognition decades later. He may deserve a little more but he’s not drastically off in a league that has a lot of special athletes

if you don’t think it’ll work out, I think there’s something to be said for skipping Rodgers, trading watt for a bounty and committing to move up aggressively to get your guy as a bills fan, we watched this play out for 20 years. In my opinion I’d rather keep taking real swings than chasing maybe getting a wild card I don’t look to the browns as being a data point any strategy being sound/unsound really

Do you like our odds with Josh and a decent roster vs Tyrod and an better roster? I don’t like the Steelers entire offseason though, candidly. They 3/4 pushed in the chips for a Super Bowl they aren’t going to win.

I’m not shocked it happened but boy do Cleveland and Pittsburgh need to trade these guys for elite picks to go get a qb sitting in qb purgatory chasing Lamar and burrow is a fools game

it probably amounts to 3 years fully guaranteed and a 4th year that has offset language so if he signs any contract they are off the hook but if he’s totally out of the league they owe him a few bucks basically “you are practically guaranteed to be here 3 years, so whatever- but we aren’t going to supplement your salary for the another team to get you cheaper to play against us if you are still in the league year 4”

Doug Marrone. By himself.

I think sometimes folks forget some WR1 get a lot of slot volume, like ceedee, etc…

Once you get out of the top ten or so superstars that just win at everything, it starts to turn into scheme fits creating tiers/ledges id say he is in that 30-40 ledge, where he generally starts everywhere, rarely is a clear WR1, and value could vary depending on his fit.

If we are the only team he doesn’t get a ring with I’ll be genuinely annoyed

you could say this about any term. Unless you dictate the rookie contract template, it is what it is.

to be fair, they list 26

I think it’s just a matter of is he an injury risk in a unique way, or is it just basic risk management of it being a huge drop off Josh isn’t an injury risk, in general but you protect him because of the drop in this case I don’t think the worry was hugely worthys injury risk so much as the room being depleted and only putting so much on a young guys plate
