Everything is going to keep going up. Probably will climb to $1.8 billion or more by the time it's completed.

If that's "huge" I have no idea what they would say about my legs then.

Yes! My favorite memory of playing football on a video game growing up was from Joe Montana football where the QB fumbled it and the announcer said "The quarterback hands off to the nose tackle!"

Most of the reason for having an agent and not doing it yourself is to have the agent act as a buffer from having to hear the team argue why they don't believe you deserve that money and try to minimize some of what you accomplished or explain it away... No matter how good the intentions are between the two sides, a player hearing this will always have some level of hurt feelings whereas he would not be privy to all the details and things that were said between the team and agent and the agent would soften whatever negative stuff was said plus he would be hearing it secondhand. This is the biggest issue with players trying to negotiate for themselves. They hear stuff they can never unhear from the team and they are human, it is going to effect their attitude and feelings towards the team in a negative manner.

Ravens will way overpay for Beckham but won't pay for a QB that wins them tons of games in the regular season? I don't get the logic. Ravens are making some serious head scratching decisions. They have turned this Jackson situation into a giant mess where they are going to have to trade him.

No. Not even with a healthy Lamar. He disappears in playoff games.

$18 million to a WR coming off an ACL and on the wrong side of 30? Talk about desperate

Perhaps they thought it would be good to develop another Milano in case he ends up leaving after his current contract is up?

Did he try and put on too much muscle to gain size for the NFL and lose speed and quickness?

Davis was only a disappointment because people had unreasonably high expectations for him. I suggest you look up #2 WR around the NFL last year and I think you would be surprised at where Davis ranked among them. That high ankle sprain really limited him a lot more than he let on for 4-5 games at least, which likely hurt his production.

No.

Unlikely.

How about Drew Bledsoe?

Lmao!! "Owen! Ooooowwwweeennnn!! Get over here!"

Typically they have players grouped and will take the best player of that group. That takes into account needs, positional value/scheme, players likely to need replacing soon, etc. It's impossible to know BPA like this because each team values certain things to varying degrees in players. Some teams want only scheme fits, others will take a player who may not have ever played their scheme but they seem he has traits they believe will allow him to transition into what they need him to do and others simply are so arrogant they think they can coach any player to work in their scheme and just take whoever is the best in their minds without much regard to how they actually will fit(oversimplifying but mostly it's the same...they think the player fits way better than they actually do based on over aggressive projections). Also we have no idea what teams have players off the boards due to medical concerns or other issues. Each team doctor views those differently. So while this is a valiant effort, it doesn't make a lot of sense because every team and scheme will value a player differently and it lacks any nuance when it comes to this and kind of goes for a one size fits all approach.

At this time of year if they are talking they are lying.

This has to be an April Fools Day Joke

F**k no. This has to be for those dipsh**s in the Midwest who think Ranch on wings is the move. Newsflash, it's not.

Just announced on WGR...Cook trying to turn it up! Maybe that is how many TDs he wants to score in a game?

Unfortunately this isn't 1988 anymore and the game has changed tremendously.

Way too much Madden playing to think this would happen in real life.

It's in Buffalo. I am a software engineer.

Because we don't need a top 5 defense, merely one that is near the middle of the NFL.

Agreed, but I mean what is he going to do, bench him?

Said it is unsustainable the way he is playing football and being wreckless at times. Says history has shown it and says they talk about it all the time but the message doesn't seem to have gotten through enough and says it HAS to change next year. Brought it up multiple times during the interview apparently. Pretty strong message being sent from McD. Should make all the people freaking out about Allen running so much happy...
