Sorry, what exactly do you guys think the Pats have to offer that will get them Deshaun Watson? You think rather than taking a top 3 pick and multiple other first round picks in this draft and next draft from the Jets or Dolphins, the Texans would prefer the Patriots' 15th overall pick and their future late 1st rounders after they put Watson on a loaded team? They are stupid, but not that stupid.

Considering that our offense is finally good, would you rather have a punter that can boom it 50 yards but can't place the ball at all, or a guy that can place the ball inside the 20, 10, and 5 yard line? I would personally rather have the latter. Bojo was great last year, but generally has had lots of trouble with directional kicks and mistakes at critical times.

You need a history lesson, my friend. Antoine Winfield was a CORNERBACK for the Bills and Vikings and he was a very good one.

Antoine Winfield never lived up to his draft status?? He made the pro bowl 3 times and was first team all-pro one year. That means top 2 CB in the league. He had a 14 year career in which he was known as being a great CB for almost all of them. It's not his fault Ralph refused to pay him. Sheesh. You guys forget quickly.

You expected the NFL to make a statement that specifically states “we want the teams who nobody wants to play for to have a fair chance” ... that was your expectation? Or, maybe you expected the rule to say “the NFL intends to reward bad football teams for being unattractive destinations that have to overpay every year” ... was that it? Read between the lines, jesus. Or even try reading more than just the first 3 lines. The intent of the original rule was clear.

For those who are still struggling to understand why it’s a bad thing to give all of the good teams more free draft picks, while giving the bad teams none, here’s an article: http://insidethepylon.com/nfl/front-office/2018/04/05/three-ways-fix-compensatory-picks/ It also gets into specifics about why the system was designed. Hint: it wasn’t to make sure that good teams continue to get more draft picks than bad teams.

That was how the system was built, but that's not how it functions. I'm not sure why a lot of you can't see this. I just laid it out for you. Imagine you're a free agent. Would you rather play for the team that always wins? Or, would you rather play for the team that always loses? Of course, you would pick the team that always wins. The comp pick system was created to counter-balance this by rewarding bad teams who can't hold on to their players. But the opposite happened. Now, not only are free agents overpaid by the loser teams (because it's the only way they can get these players), the winner teams get EXTRA picks in return and can replace those players that they just lost because, of course, they are overpaid by loser teams. That seems like a pretty bad concept if the NFL is trying to encourage small market teams, who typically lose, to actually have a chance.

And who do you think are the teams that consistently lose good players to FAs? Is it the team everyone wants to play for or the team nobody wants to play for? Parity. It's good for the league and good for fans when the bad teams actually have a shot at winning. The compensatory system stacks the system against them.

The Compensatory Pick system was designed to allow the bad teams to keep their good players. Instead, it rewards the good teams because they can afford to let good players walk and get huge contracts, while back-filling with cheap players who want to "win now." This year is another perfect example. The Bottom 10 Teams this year were: 32) Jaguars: Zero Comp Picks 31) Jets: Zero Comp Picks 30)Texans: Zero Comp Picks 29) Falcons: 3 Comp Picks, but none in Round 3 or 4. 28) Eagles: 2 Comp Picks, but none in Round 3, 4, or 5. 27) Bengals: Zero Comp Picks 26) Lions: Zero Comp Picks 25) Broncos: Zero Comp Picks 24) Panthers: 2 Comp Picks, but none in rounds 3, 4, or 5. 23) Giants: Zero Comp Picks So, none of the bottom 10 teams got any Round 3 or Round 4 compensatory picks. Meanwhile, perennial playoff teams like the Patriots, Saints, Steelers, Packers, Chiefs, Rams, Titans and Ravens all received round 3 and/or round 4 picks. This is a disgrace.

The Pats getting a ton of comp picks thing is going to change dramatically. The comp pick formula is ridiculous. The best teams get all the comp picks because they can afford to let good players go and still win. Pats being a bad team = Pats will get less comp picks moving forward.

To be clear, it's almost certain he'll be released. His contract is $11.3M and he was one of the worst guards in the league last year (per PFF). Nobody would trade a pick for him, so the question is if you'd want him as a Free Agent. Personally, I would.

Sounds like the Chargers are "actively shopping" Trai Turner, but it's most likely he'll get released. Stop me if you've heard this one before: - Made the Pro Bowl 5 consecutive years with the Carolina Panthers - Coming off a horrible down year - Still young (27 years old) - Coming off a huge contract that he underperformed - Played RG next to Daryl Williams for 5 years. This guy has basically the same story as Daryl and would be a similar "reclamation project." Our staff knows him and he would know the guy playing next to him (if we can get Daryl back). I want this combo more than any other Free Agent pairing out there.

We have A LOT of threads about this already.

Sometimes you get really good coaches out of family bloodlines. -Kyle Shanahan is a heck of a coach and so was his dad. -John Harbaugh is a heck of a coach and so was his dad. You might say the same about his brother, Jim Harbaugh. -Wade Phillips was a good defensive coach and so was his dad. If I hired someone at work and they did a great job and they had a son ... sure, I'd be inclined to try to double-dip. You probably would too.

“Almost perfect if you take away the he said she said” Maybe you forgot about him beating up an undercover cop in the club, or his “special” parties, or his 20 cent tip to his waiter. The guy is a scumbag.

Why on earth would the Jags do this? A pro bowl top 10 pick in his third year in the league... and you think we can get him for a late 2nd? Man, this is going to be a long offseason.

How much would you ask for to trade Josh Allen? That's how much the Texans would need to give up Deshaun Watson. They are comparable players. The only correct answer is: not tradeable. This is just a story made up by the Watson and his agents to get him more attention, money, and power within the Texans organization. The media ran with it because 20+ franchises are all dreaming of a player like him and it's fun to dream.

There are two factors you appear to be overlooking: 1. Signing him now does not mean we can't keep his salary very low next year or the next few years. They can structure a deal to look like he never signed anything. 2. It's incredibly important to keep Allen happy now. If he's willing to sign a team friendly deal now, you do it. Period. For these two reasons above, you can expect a signing sooner rather than later.

Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. Also, why are you crying about this again? Diggs is under contract for 3 years. Plenty of teams pay both WR and QB.

Earlier in the season I actually agreed with you. As the season wore on, I noticed that Singletary in particular just isn't powerful enough to fall forward and he's not fast enough to outrun guys. The stretch plays dont work because he's not fast enough. The inside plays dont work because he's not strong enough. I expected Moss to be a punisher, but he seems to be playing similar to Singletary... slow without the power to compensate. It's a big area of need unless Moss takes some miraculous step after healing from his injury, which is unlikely.

Have you watched him all season? He's great in the fourth quarter. He had a bad game against KC. In big moments all season he's been awesome. Third down, fourth down, you name it. The "KC Defense isn't good" argument is insane, by the way. They are good and they showed it on Sunday.

Instead of wasting another high pick on running back, we could get a pretty decent, proven one in free agency. I'm guessing it would cost maybe $5M and we would know what we're getting because the position has been devalued. Options: Chris Carson Kenyan Drake Todd Gurley Carlos Hyde Marlon Mack Phillip Lindsay Save the first round pick for a CB, DE, or someone else who isn't a dime a dozen.

It’s no mystery. Daboll didn’t magically forget how to coach. By playoff time it became evident to EVERY team that we couldn’t run the ball AT ALL. If your team becomes one dimensional in the playoffs, you won’t win. See Baltimore. Moss went down, Singletary was somehow below expectations, and the O-line couldn’t run block. It’s the beginning and end of every issue with the offense. If you have 7-8 DBs in on every snap, the WRs will have a much more difficult time getting open and the QB will have a harder time finding them. We need a better run game. Period.

Here’s something to cheer you up buddy. Chiefs are $18M over the salary cap right now. We’re $2M under and can shed some other deadweight on the D-Line. That means we’ll probably show up better than ever next year and the Chiefs won’t. We have a bright couple of years ahead... maybe even a decade or two! That’s much better than missing the playoffs for 20+ years. Hopefully you agree. Go Bills!

Ah yes, “rigged” ... it wasn’t that Kansas City was just flat out better on offense, defense, special teams, and coaching. We lost because it was “rigged.” We’re both fans of the same team, so I’ll put this nicely. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. When you lose and you immediately blame the refs or say something is “rigged” you come off as a crybaby and people stop taking you seriously. It’s fine if you do it on this message board, but do yourself a favor and don’t do it in front of your friends or family. It’s a bad look.
