t96

Loved Mitchell. Also Peanut Tillman and Jared Allen were fuging awesome to have in the black and blue. So pissed we couldn't finish the job for those guys and others we had who absolutely deserved rings in their careers (TD, Greg, Cam, Luke, etc.)

2 years $5.5M total; a bit surprised we didn't want to match that but we can probably replace him for cheaper with a later round pick in the draft or a different FA. He filled in admirably this past season but isn't a guy who should be your #1 (which he is in Atlanta as of now...).

Huge win against a solid Spurs playoff team. The schedule does get a bit easier down the stretch I believe and we definitely do have enough talent to still be a top 6 seed and get some playoff experience -- if some of our inconsistent guys (PJ especially) can step it up and try to fill the void of Melo. It really sucks Melo is out and I'd love to get another high lottery pick that we could hit on to pair with Melo going forward, but if we can pull it off and get a top 6 seed I'd also love to see this team back in the playoffs. Even without Melo, guys like PJ, Bridges, Graham, Monk could use some really valuable playoff experience

I can't believe how pretty that 3rd goal was. Kinda thinking that even once Tro and TT are back that we should keep Aho with Necas, they've had such amazing chemistry. Maybe something like: Svech - Aho - Necas Nino - Tro - TT

Hayward’s been trash lately...

We had a chance at a top 6 seed, easily. Without Melo we should just tank at this point. If he could return at 100% before the end of the season I'd say we try to salvage it and still get him and the others some playoff experience, but if he's definitely out the rest of the year, just tank. Either way, we better not be buyers at the trade deadline to try to save the season, that would be retarded. Just take the higher draft pick in this (supposedly) loaded draft. What a brutal blow for this team.

Bro we're top 4 in the league with an insanely young team with questionable (on paper) goaltending, missing Mrazek pretty much the whole year, missing Teuvo most of the year and missing Trocheck recently... Rod has done an incredible job here. We need to get healthy and a few more pieces on the roster (legit starting goaltender, another top 6 scoring winger) but otherwise we're in great shape.

Didn't even read it, but that's not surprising at all. Used to get the globe every day here but it turned to complete crap a while ago and has been going even further downhill since. Never really read the sports section but I imagine it's not any different than the rest of the paper...

Who the fug cares what the Boston Globe says? Worthless paper.

Lol scrub team barely eeks out a garbage skills competition W when we’re missing 3 critical players, congrats. Again, enjoy missing the playoffs and your 1 all time playoff series win

Right call on the offsides obviously but that was also like 30 seconds before the goal and had literally no impact on it being scored. Rule should change.

Dougie wins it easy.

Enjoy missing the playoffs loser

My literal reaction every time Warren Foegele scores:

Him and Moore should be an improvement in the red zone, where we badly struggled last year throwing the ball (yes partly due to Teddy but also because none of our WRs or TEs last year excelled in the red zone as receivers. McCaffrey was our only red zone threat, frankly, and he missed most of the season). Solid signing, and cheap enough that even if he doesn’t add much other than a big body in the red zone, it can’t possibly hurt us that much.

Tepper schemed this up so they’d cut him then once his name is cleared we just sign him for free. Genius. Seriously, I would want him for the right price still if we are confident he will be allowed to play without a long suspension or stay on the exempt list. Don’t care what players do off the field if they aren’t criminal matters and don’t affect the on field performance, frankly.

This needs to happen. Then add Malik Hooker at FS and our D looks really really fuging good.

I think he was RFA. edit; nvm he was ERFA. will be RFA next year. They have him really cheap for the next couple years

Yeah pretty bad but let’s be honest if the Bears took either of those 2 while they’d probably still be quite a bit better than Mitch, they wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as they have been for their respective teams. BoB was a disaster of a team builder but he built a pretty damn good offense there and developed Watson well. Obviously Reid has played a big part in Mahomes’ development too.

Not a bad price but a bit more than I’d want to pay him here. Happy for him getting paid, and I think we’re better off using that money on our defense acquisitions.

Can you expand a bit? Reddick became a high 1st round pick because of this scheme...

Same thought crossed my mind. I don’t want to give up Burns at all but if we do in a Watson trade I’ll feel a bit better about it having Reddick here now than if we didn’t sign him.

This seemed inevitable. Awesome signing!

$2.1m for him seems fair, I won’t blame him one bit if he leaves if we won’t even offer that much.

The sexual harassment stuff that just popped up will also likely make it take longer. We (or any other team) aren’t giving up a crap ton for him with that hanging over his head and potential NFL discipline. I don’t think he gets traded until that is sorted out, which could be before the draft but who knows.
