True, considering he was dealing with a core muscle issue last year, but I don't know that we'd be offering him the kind of money he's expecting even if everything checked out.

I don't get this big perception that he is a worldbeater. Shaq had more sacks than he did last year. Why is the perception that this guy is worth double?

I'm a bit murky on the Waddle situation. Does going on IR and not playing in any games count as a year under contract?

I'm thrilled his market is soft. We still probably won't even wade into those shallower waters though I'd expect

Wait until the final numbers come out before you lose your minds. It's likely a 1 year prove-it deal with a team option to keep him for 2 if he plays well. Beane doesn't lock the team into terrible contracts.

I remember really wanting us to draft Butler.

Watkins trade was 2 1s. Is this 2 1s? No? Then it's not the same at all.

Not much love for Joe B though...

The Dolphins have built a decent D in 2 days

Harder for me to get into them as much with so many variables as to who will still be on the board when we pick.

Trading a 1 is a move you make when you are a single player away. Beane has already come right out and said we are not a single player away. I don't think we go WR with our 1 rder anyway, we're more likely to go DE if a good one falls.

Signing Greg Olsen wouldn't mean the team is signing a player who doesn't make sense for the team. Signing Olsen wouldn't be a desperation signing for a team with no prospects at TE who just needs anyone that might be good at the position. Signing Olsen would be consistent with the team philosophy of signing mid-ter FAs who can contribute and add leadership. - That's my translation fwiw.

Somewhere without income tax so he can enjoy a higher percentage of his bloated contract.

Seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist...

His column was objectively terrible. Nice attempt to move the goalposts and reframe the discussion though. Sullivan is a relic of a time where being outrageous and negative got you views.

I actually agree with this.

Sounds like his brand kept listeners away. He was fired by TBN because readers were tired of him. Unfortunately for him, the same readers he alienated are his target audience. By all accounts he seems to be a decent guy - the rest of the Buffalo media personalities really like him. But his brand of "I'm going to be controversial to get attention and mask it by claiming I'm speaking truth to power" is so old and people just aren't interested anymore.

Sounds about right

Aaron Maybin, just cause. Also ... Russ Brandon

Nope, just wanted to say Da'Rick Rogers

Ruggs trade was gross, shades of Watkins.

I'd never bet against a wrestler, they determine where the fight takes place. If McDermott knows 1-2 submissions that's all he'd need.

Looks like a 9-10 win season.

More hype for this guy on this board than Da'Rick Rogers

McCaffrey is Carolina's whole identity. PFF is trash
