  1. Adams to the Raiders I believe. Packers got a 1st and a 2nd for him.
  2. Chiefs won the trade in the same way if they would've traded their Tesla stock for Apple stock to the Bills in 2000. Both made out well but the Chiefs made out slightly better.
  3. Hell. FUBO TV can stream a playoff game for all I care if this means the cap keeps shooting up every year. No hard reset with Josh still in his prime.
  4. He gets it. Also, FWIW there wasn't a team that touched Araiza until all the legal issues (including civil) were completely cleared for those that think the Bills should've stood by him. The Jets gave him a tryout but decided to go with the infamous 37 year old butt punter in Thomas Morestead.
  5. Martin won Special Teams player of the month from the start of December to the end of the regular season in January.
  6. Which is pry why he was the third punter drafted in that class. If you have faith in your punt coverage and want the maximum potential to flip the field he's your guy. Definitely more risky to give up the big returns though.
  7. Yes. The Von Miller and Matt Araiza situations were exactly the same. Brilliant stuff here as usual.
  8. Because Araiza never punted in an NFL regular season game and you'd be asking him to make his first start in a playoff game.
  9. He could be remembered as the best QB to never make a Super Bowl. His competition would be Fouts, Rivers, and Moon. Romo's disqualified because he's too annoying of an announcer.
  10. Townsend is one of the best punter's in the league so it will probably be a downgrade. I get why this is significant news though as it ventures into societal issues/debates outside football.
  11. Thought they might bring him in to compete with Martin even though Martin finished the year off strong. I wonder if Beane brings in another young punter or they just don't bother like they did last training camp.
  12. Not surprising now that the legal issues are behind him. Townsend's contract's up so maybe they don't want to pay to keep him.
  13. A lot of it depends on the life cycle of the team. At the time of the Diggs trade we had a QB that needed a true number one to develop and Diggs's contract at the time was favorable for an established #1 WR. Our offense went from 23rd overall to 2nd overall. If the Eagles take Jefferson and the Vikings take Reagor in that draft it would be looked at as a steal. The Titans look like fools for trading AJ Brown and drafting Treylon Burks. It pry cost the GM and head coach their jobs. We didn't win the Super Bowl since the trade but having the second most wins in the NFL along with four straight division titles since then is nothing to sneeze at. Our life cycle now is taking swings at WR in the draft because we have to get younger and cheaper at all positions now that Allen is taking up about 15 to 20% of the cap every year.
  14. Yup. First time in awhile (three years maybe) I can remember paying under three bucks a gallon.
  15. They still went against their metrics and gave their MVP to Lamar though. Even data nerds either fall into groupthink or don’t want to be labeled as racist.
  16. Yeah. They're at a super interesting spot in the draft and it all depends on how they feel about the top three QB prospects. If the Bears stick with Fields then I could see the Patriots trading their 3rd overall to jump up and draft Caleb Williams. I could also see them staying put and drafting Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye at three. They could also trade back if the value is right for a team that falls in love with one of the top three QB's available. They also could just draft Marvin Harrison Jr. at three and sign a veteran QB like Mayfield. Tough decisions in Foxboro.
  17. I think you misread my post. I hope the Pats sign Baker and pass on a qb for the reasons you just laid out.
  18. True but specifically in the Pats case, they won't be able to draft a top QB and Marvin Harrison Jr..
  19. He didn't against decent secondaries when we really needed him too (@NYJ, @NE, @CIN, @KC). He had a combined 3 catches for 38 yards in those games on 13 targets. Not good enough. We'll never know but I highly doubt he makes the game changing plays against a strong Chiefs secondary in the playoffs that was sorely lacking in that game.
  20. Different roles in the offense but there's some important distinctions between the two (besides one being an outside X WR and the other being a TE/big slot target). Allen's passer rating when targeting Davis - 87.9. Reception percentage when targeted at 57.7%. Drop percentage at 8.2%. Allen's passer rating when targeting Kincaid - 96.2. Reception percentage when targeted at 80.2%. Drop percentage at 4.2%.
  21. He's good at finding soft spots in zone, putting vertical stress on a defense, blocking, sideline awareness, and making himself available when Josh extended the play going off script. He's always had a drop issue and just doesn't separate quick enough in the short to intermediate routes when teams play man to man. We need a WR2 who can do that consistently.
  22. I'd rather have him than deal with the Pats taking Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jaylen Daniel, etc.. At least I know Baker's ceiling. Atlanta would make perfect sense if the Bucs let him hit free agency. The Steelers and Raiders would be intriguing too.
  23. As a Chiefs fan, if Reid drafted Allen in 2018 instead of Mahomes in 2017 do you think you guys would have four or five rings by now?
