Giving up draft capital is an issue. The Bears won't get that. They may ask for it, but they won't get it. I doubt Carolina would have to pay 2 firsts to move from 8 or 9 to 2 or 3. We'll see, but there's a chance they could get a guy they see as a franchise QB at the spot they sit, depends how the...

I would assume to some degree teams knew this was coming and also knew they would be immediately asked about it. Possibly there is some degree of smokescreen going on. But yeah... If no other teams even engage him in negotiations that would seem very suspicious. It doesn't help that he is his own ag...

It has been very opaque to me why ridley decided to take that year off. Mental health can mean a lot of things. But by all reports he was still working out and desires to get back to playing. It's certainly a risk but I weigh being away from the sport for 2 years as a bigger risk than his mental sta...

I don't hate vetoes but I do think that you would want a 75% vote to override a trade. That would basically be unanimous in a 12 team league (the people participating in the trade obviously won't vote to veto it). But I also wonder why now? After ten years has there been an issue arise? I'm in a lea...

If they are all subject to the same conditions does it impact their career trajectory very much? I agree it's dumb to schedule a workout for teams to evaluate these guys around TV schedules (the commercialization of the NFL and sports in general is sad). But if it's truly going to impact them then &...

@mild thanks for the update on poison pills that does change things regarding letting another team do the work negotiating. Sad the shenanigans are gone though. @shoreline I hear what your saying. And maybe you can prep the fan base for some down years while you search for a new QB. But I do think l...

@Pullo Thank you for the comprehensive post. I did consider that aspect but I really have to wonder about the PR impact of letting your superstar QB go with no known replacement. I'd also be weary about letting your opponents do the negotiation for you - is it no longer possible to fit a poison pill...

I don't think it's possible the Ravens non-exclusive tag him as some have suggested. Even round 1 QBs don't have a spectacular hit rate. If you're a team looking for a QB that can win you games and get you deep in the playoffs 2 first round picks doesn't actually sound terrible when you know what yo...

And the odd thing about the NFLPA supporting this kind of action is that it screws over so many non-elite players who will get paid less and/or have shorter careers because of the elite guy chewing up so much guaranteed capital. This is a thing I have never understood about the nflpa. They seem to ...

Wonder who all go the wrath of Thor's ban hammer... :lol: As for Purdy. It's not looking purdy. A surgeon never wants to rip into inflammation for a surgery as it'd just be making more scar tissue than necessary. But the fact that the inflammation hasn't truly subsided by now is definitely a concer...

Jim Bob Cooter, the best name in NFL Coaching, is now the OC for the Colts. Re-unites with Steichan, they were both on the Eagles staff in 2021. He got some really good play out of the Stafford Lions a few years back, I think this is a decent hire. I am once again talking myself into the Colts pass...

Jackson by a long distance. There are lingering rumors the Bears might even draft a QB with their first pick. No way I'm trading Lamar for a guy who might be replaced in a couple of months. To be fair these rumors are very likely coming from the Bears to increase the price of trading into that slot...

He has poor body control and doesn't seem to know how to make defenders miss. That said he is pretty good at just bowling over the opposition. I think he can be good but he needs to learn how to move more smoothly and react to what's happening on the field instead of getting the ball and just going....

The newer inner brace is about as proven as the Covid vaccine(s)... Does this mean that it works pretty well and probably better than expected by many measures but due to a combination of unrealistic expectations, poor public understanding of medicine and public health, and inexplicable politicizat...

I just wanted to say this thread has, if nothing else, given more insight into how much work DD puts in to his scouting reports. And so I just thought an extra thank you for sharing so much with this community is in order.
