Pierce was already injured when Free Agency started right? That's why he had the surgery.
Maybe that's why he didn't want to switch teams. He would have had to pass a physical first.
Teams will start cutting players in a couple weeks. Hopefully they can find a decent Center if the rookie isn't proving himself worthy at that point.
Actually, they might need to add another tackle as well, especially if they don't get Decker.
Exactly. That run game was probably the most unimaginative thing I've seen in the NFL in a long time. I kept imagining how well it worked with RG3 and Morris in 2012 compared to the crap Klifford was running.
Overall his offense was really good so I have no idea why he just blew off the running...
I have a similar pact with them and they usually cooperate. Those grandaddy longlegs definitely like to pick the corners above the bathtub for some reason. Once all the corners are taken then one usually gets brave and decides to camp out by the faucet and gets washed down the drain.
I kind of wanted them to try to get Pierce but not for anywhere close to that price. That's almost 1M dollars a catch. Ridiculous.
Hearing that AP possibly even offered more must mean that they know how bad we needed another WR. Glad that we ended up with Diggs for less than half that price...
Just make sure you move the kickers and defenses way down the list past 200 except for the 1 you want or else you will end up like I did last year with
2 awesome defenses and 2 awesome kickers but only 1-2 good RBs and receivers.
Betting the SB winner before the season even starts is one of the dumbest bets you can make though. Anything can happen in 20 games. 1 injury can derail the entire season.
That's why I expect that Diggs will have more receptions than McLaurin. He's basically WR2 and partially replacing Ertz except he doesn't wear lead boots.
.1M over the current high pay would qualify as a market setting contract.
The raiders just decided to make it rain.
And dollar tree AP was just supposed to be funny 😂
This is our AP we are talking about right? Adam Peters?
Dollar Tree AP?
If he had a deal for Linderbum it was likely .1M higher than the current top Center, if that.
They probably did call around, but they cut him several days before FA started with no replacement. Soon after they cut him at least 2 other starting centers decided to retire. Then they lost out on all of the FA centers. Badiasz also got a pay raise.
That sequence looks like a rookie move.
If he is correct then this is like if we cut Daniels so we could start Mariota instead.
They are either geniuses or complete buffoons. We will soon have the answer.
Yeah Newton has been a huge disappointment. Reading about him when he was coming out of college people were talking about how he should have been a top 10-15 pick but dropped to us. What a steal in the 2nd round. He was the big 10 defensive player of the year.
2 years later he's likely behind...
The problem with keeping him is they extended Allegretti for half his pay after cutting him.
That's probably not going to work for the same price when Allegretti is going to be the starter and making much less money.
Cousins is getting a little cranky in his old age.

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Tempers flared during the Raiders' eighth training camp practice Friday.
Defensive end Maxx Crosby hit quarterback Kirk Cousins...
Very possible and that would put him over 1000 receptions and almost 13000 yards for his career.
Basically double what McLaurin has done even counting his next year stats being his average.
Which is problematic when your entire job is to catch the ball and run with the ball in your hands.
Not only does he drop passes, he is also fond of fumbling it after making that rare catch as well.
Ok so it seems like the music thread is happening again so I won't feel bad posting several haha. Even though I try to post less obvious, obsure tunes for everyone to enjoy for the first time 😁
Sometimes it's good to play the elitish teams early though. But we can't start out slow and expect to beat them.
At least the fire seems to be lit under Quinn's ass this time.
Started watching the new season of House of the dragon.
This is the 3rd season and for some reason it's just not even close to as good as Game of Thrones. It's more like the low budget version. I'll watch it anyway but it's not like I need to watch each episodes as it's released.
Well he did have the league MVP runner up throwing him the ball vs a backup fo Deebo most of the year.
He should get more though. Deebo has never been a #1 WR.
