    I wonder if there was 1 year left on his contract and the team offered to pay him to take the year off.

     

    Either way, there was no coming back from this.

     

    B9-DCBCF8-561-F-4-C84-8912-3367-E107-D3-

     

    I mean what can go wrong in that situation? Not like there is only 13 seconds left 🤷‍♂️

    Lynn Swann

    He was a part of a Pittsburg team that won championships, but he never even had a single 1000 yard season and he isn't even in the top 250 players in all-time receiving yards.

     

    For comparison, Ted Ginn Jr (who was considered a bust at wr) has more receiving yards than him.

     

    I would have to compare him to guys in his Era, the new numbers are insane. We could throw alot of people out with that line of thinking.

     

    Though I admit I haven't checked Swanns numbers against those in his Era, you may still be right.

    The other issue with Oliver is I think players who are given the 5th year option, but then not signed long term, tend to have a chip on their shoulder to some extent for the team and will tend to have a mind set of they didn't want to commit to me, so I'm not going to commit to them either.

     

    Add to that like in Edmunds case, it's always a bit suspicious when a player has his best season in a contract year.

     

    The one thing in Oliver's favor though is no DT are signed beyond this year so they may try a little harder to sign him.  Don't think he's a bad player, just not playing like a top 10 drafted pick.

     

    I think they would keep him, obviously he's an average to above average starter. 

     

    Sadly I think without a blockbuster contract he walks, in his mind he's a top 10 pick and deserves top money.

  4. Poona will definitely help our run D IMO. I don't see how that's questionable barring injury.

     

    I think Harris and Murray can help Josh, but at the same time Josh wants to break and run sometimes, it's his defense mechanism Vs. Sitting in the pocket waiting to get hit if no one is open.

     

    So I'm not sure you will get Mahomes like numbers, but could definitely reduce the QB power plays you see in the red zone. 

  5. Jets will be a tough out for the Bills, same for the Dolphins. 

     

    But I do agree the Jets may not enjoy the same success in 23 as they did in 22, even with Rodgers.

     

    Teams take a step back with the same personnel all the time, wouldn't surprise me.

    ^ this.  I received an estimate from a roofing contractor yesterday that was $10K higher than a bid from the same contractor in 2018.

     

    Yeah, I'm an electrical contractor and there is definitely sticker shock right now, sadly it's mostly to just materials. Some jobs you end up doing a slightly cheaper labor rate just to stay competitive. 

     

    Odd world we are in at the moment.

    High interest rates do not lead to a sellers market....this markup on that house is nuts today.  Tough to get a  mortgage on it because it likely would be assessed at far lower.   Maybe he's hoping for a sap/player to pay cash.

     

    In my area, for from NY, houses are appraising for more because we'll it costs more to replace them because all materials are inflated. Which I guess is just the new price at this point.

     

    The buyer does have less buying power because of interest rates though. So the seller has a much smaller pool of qualified buyers.

     

    Glad our property taxes are no where near as high as you guys.

  8. Burrow has performed in the spotlight and that's pretty much where this comes from, perhaps rightfully so.

     

    Allen has been on the end of 2 bad losses in the playoffs (Bengals 2022, Chiefs 2020) and a Heartbreaker (Chiefs 2021). 

     

    That's what people remember, doesn't make Allen a bad QB, just changes the casual fans perception of him. 

     

    Only one way to fix it. For the record I will still take Allen ove Mahomes or Burrow.

    I don't think the gap between the Jets and Fins should be that big 

     

    With the uncertainty around Tuas health and if he can maintain it I think it's fair.

     

    They do have Mike White backing him up which is better than what they had last year.

     

    But you can't evaluate the Dolphins without considering their backup QB considering his injury rate.

    Our D is the big question. With Tre as our #1 CB we ain't going anywhere. Don't give me " hopefully he rebounds and gets healthy". The dude is a wimp at 100% strength.

     

    He was considered a top CB before the injury and he was not 100% last year. His age does obviously play a factor if he ever sees "100%" again, but it's not as bad as you make it sound.

  10. So a hoarde of women claiming sexual abuse was alarming but obviously not the last straw, now 97 in a 70? Oh definitely the last straw...it's 27 over on the interstate. I'm not condoning it but come on, it's a minor offense. 

     

    People always amaze me.

     

    Deshaun Watson is worth 100M+ even if he sucks with his money, he will beat the ticket and nothing will be done.

     

    He will go 100+ again, I don't blame him, I love speed to. I just got old enough to realize you can go faster at the race track so I do it there now.

  11. I think the Bills are betting favorites right now. With that said I don't think they will get alot of praise, perennial bridesmaids will be more of the theme, which is fine by me, get the team fired up.

     

    I definitely feel better this year, we have 2 guards that will be better than anything we had last year. 

     

    Also I think the defense will be relatively the same. Milano is the only person I would fear losing off defense, if White regains form or at least 85% form we will be fine.

     

    Edmunds was above average but he by no means made this defense.
