Spotrac has his market value at $7.6M a year , so maybe a little more if he likes it here might do it.

(Buffalo, NY) - In light of the serious health risks to vulnerable populations posed by the novel coronavirus, and to prevent widespread infection, Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger temporarily dispenses the Catholic faithful from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days during the coronavirus threat. Until further notice, Catholics of the Diocese of Buffalo should use their prudent judgment as to whether or not to attend Mass. Older adults, people with underlying medical conditions, and family members of such individuals should take special care in discerning the best course of action to avoid exposure to large groups of people. At this time, Mass will continue to be offered publicly as announced or scheduled, contingent on emergency governmental restrictions regarding larger gatherings. All other parish events and larger celebrations, including Confirmations and Lenten penance services, must be postponed until the end of March out of an abundance of caution. Further guidance will be provided regarding April and May as developments become clear. https://www.wnycatholic.org/news/article/featured/2020/03/13/103900/bishop-scharfenberger-dispenses-catholics-from-sunday-and-holy-day-mass-obligation-due-to-coronavirus-threat

Free Agency News and Updates - around the league
ALF replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
One interesting development to come from the premature ending of the XFL season is its players being released from their contracts earlier than anticipated. In fact, the timing will allow those players to sign with interested NFL teams immediately following their exit physicals, which are scheduled to take place on Friday, per NFL.com's Tom Pelissero. With NFL teams gearing up for free agency (the legal tampering period is still tentatively scheduled to begin on Monday), more options are now on the table for personnel departments that have been keeping up with the reborn league since it kicked off the weekend following the Super Bowl. Here are five players we think did enough to earn a spot on an NFL team over the first (and only) five weeks of the XFL season. 1. QB P.J. Walker 2. WR Cam Phillips 3. CB Deatrick Nichols 4. QB Jordan Ta'amu 5. DT Cavon Walker https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/coronavirus-ends-xfl-season-early-five-players-who-could-land-on-their-feet-in-the-nfl/ -
Julian Assange taken into custody

Chelsea Manning recovering after suicide attempt in jail, lawyers say Manning has been detained since May for refusing to testify before a grand jury about her disclosure of military and diplomatic secrets to the online anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks in 2010. "Manning has previously indicated that she will not betray her principles, even at risk of grave harm to herself," her legal team said, adding, "Her actions today evidence the strength of her convictions, as well as the profound harm she continues to suffer as a result of her 'civil' confinement." https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/12/politics/chelsea-manning-suicide-attempt-virginia-jail/index.html -

Congressional doctor predicts 70-150 million U.S. coronavirus cases Congress' in-house doctor told Capitol Hill staffers at a close-door meeting this week that he expects 70-150 million people in the U.S. — roughly a third of the country — to contract the coronavirus, two sources briefed on the meeting tell Axios. Why it matters: That estimate, which is in line with other projections from health experts, underscores the potential seriousness of this outbreak even as the White House has been downplaying its severity in an attempt to keep public panic at bay. Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician of the U.S. Congress, told Senate chiefs of staff, staff directors, administrative managers and chief clerks from both parties on Tuesday that they should prepare for the worst, and offered advice on how to remain healthy. https://www.axios.com/congressional-physician-predicts-75-150-million-us-coronavirus-cases-fec69e77-1515-4fbc-8340-c53b65c22c53.html

They won't know the scope of this until more wide scale testing is possible in the US

Travel ban from Europe , hope Buffalo Gal makes it back from Spain before it takes effect.

The only way to help this economy and the stock market is to put money into stopping this virus not more tax cuts.

You don't think Doctors are scientists ?
-
If you had cancer would you listen to the treatment advice of a specialist DR or a politician ?

This is when politicians need to listen to the scientists and follow their advice.

Cool debate , would Trump Jr. want Melania to challenge Stormy Daniels ($130K) and Karen McDougal ($150K) to a debate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormy_Daniels–Donald_Trump_scandal https://apnews.com/0e41da477f850bdefb578b424ca8effa I would never defend Hunter Biden , I think he is scum , but the other side has it's faults also -

Even if I voted for Trump all NY electoral votes will go to the democrat nominee. If it's Biden or Sanders , Trump will win. -
Will we pick a player at 22 or trade up or trade down?
ALF replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Depends on who is still on the board at #22 , but no to a trade up. -

I would think if Biden shocks voters with further serious gaffes , the DNC could change the rules and have a brokered convention , even if he or Sanders have enough delegates . A political ad with a montage of gaffes would be brutal -

Tua Tagovailoa clears four-month medical check on hip http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001105648/article/tua-tagovailoa-clears-fourmonth-medical-check-on-hip If Redskins are unsure of Haskins it would make sense to take Tua . Easier to find a DE in free agency if passing on Chase Young, just hope it's not Shaq -

Unfortunately no other viable democrat was able to defeat Biden. If elected he would be a figurehead and need great advisers and VP, I think he and his wife know that. -

I think that is what will happen if Trump would lose. He would need a strong VP to advise him otherwise. -
Oil crashes by most since 1991 as Saudi Arabia launches price war Oil prices suffered an historic collapse overnight after Saudi Arabia shocked the market by launching a price war against onetime ally Russia. US oil prices crashed as much as 34% to a four-year low of $27.34 a barrel as traders brace for Saudi Arabia to flood the market with crude in a bid to recapture market share. The shock to oil also rattled stock markets, which were already in a panic because of the novel coronavirus outbreak. Market in Asia plunged during Monday trading hours, while US futures recorded massive declines. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/08/investing/oil-prices-crash-opec-russia-saudi-arabia/index.html Live updates: Global markets plunge amid coronavirus fears and oil price drop https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/coronavirus-outbreak-03-09-20-intl-hnk/index.html

Will Cody Ford Be Our Starting RT Next Year?
ALF replied to Victory Formation's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Might depend if they re-sign Spain at LG or not , who they sign in free agency. My guess is keep Ford at RT at least one more season. Have a good blocking TE next to him. -
It's due to the way the rest of the world is reacting to this virus.
