Guessing 1 year 3.5 mil. Anything under 5 ill be happy. Anything over and ill wonder why we aren't making a play at one of the better vet corners available. Still like the signing. Hope he bounces back to his Texans/Jacksonville days

Whats our barometer in terms of bounce back? Hall of Famer? How about: Drew Brees Troy Aikman John Elway Terry Bradshaw Steve Young Brett Favre Just salvaging into a long successful NFL career? Alex Smith Ryan Fitzpatrick Ryan Tannehill Kirk Cousins Thats top of my head. I'm sure there's others. The fact is there's plenty of examples of players bouncing back after a rough start. If Ruhle is on board with it, I'll proceed with cautious optimism.

Somehow I thought the coffin in the living room would be the most stereotypical "Raiders" thing I'd see. Then we went upstairs. Then the basement. Then the backyard. And now I'm laughing hysterically at the amount of money these owners pissed away with their decor choices.

Based on draft Valuation charts 3 first and a future third would do it. Based on the dumb fug 49ers. Might need to throw a couple future 2s in there with a 4th or 2 coming back.

Mac Jones at 3 will make me spit my beer out on Draft Night and I for one can't wait lol.

Bit of an overestimation lumping me in there with them. Never said it wouldn't happen. Said it'd be the first time in the history of the NFL and I'd believe it when I saw it. I even said I cant believe a team parts with 3 first for the 3rd or 4th best QB. Thats compounded by teams balking at 3 1sts for Watson and Russ. And that's exactly what happened. Nobody says this was a steal for the 9ers. Its an overpay. Besides, still lots to happen at 4 lol. Now if a team trades up to 4 its a certainty.

Oh fug me. Silver lining is 8 is more valuable than 12? Maybe it won't cost as much? Ugh. God damnit.

Bears, 49ers, WFT, Broncos and thats just top of my head. Plenty of other QB needy teams that may not have the capital for 2 - Saints, Steelers, Patriots And of course Houston pending the Watson stuff.

6'2 is huge for him. Weight looks good too. Ton of concern over his size. I wouldn't have been surprised if he measured under 6 foot like Kyler. That frame means he's got room to bulk up. Never a bad thing

Only 1? Strictly FA? Corner and for me it isn't close.

At 8 we are guaranteed one of Trevor Lawrence Trey Lance Zach Wilson Justin Fields Penei Sewell Rashawn Slater Micah Parsons Ja'marr Chase Kyle Pitts One way or another we are getting a potential superstar.

Oh 100% agree. I can see why he costs more in terms of capital. Only said this would be cheaper and if we're gauging it against the reported value of CMC, Burns AND 3 firsts for Watson, id go this route. Just me and my admittedly personal opinion.

Missing out on Jackson, Fuller and Griffen hurt. This move would go a long way in solidifying the defense. If he'd take a similar deal here I'd welcome him into the fold.

It would 100% be cheaper than the crazy Watson proposals floated around. Looking back there is some precedence for this. 2016 the Eagles moved up from 8 to 2, for a QB who was considered 2nd best in the draft. If they would take a similar offer to what the Eagles and Browns worked out I would pull the trigger personally even though I dont love the idea. Just for the sake of making it easier to visualize I'm taking the exact terms of that deal in 2016 and applying it to present day picks: Panthers get: 2021 1st - 2 overall 2022 4th Jets get: 2021 1st - 8th overall 2021 3rd 2021 4th 2022 1st 2023 2nd

JJ but thats it. We may have been negotiating beforehand but that deal wasn't officially done till after FA started i think

I was... underwhelmed. The CGI was noticeable and the whole Falcon chase scene made me dizzy from the shaky cam. I'm extremely interested in the Bucky storyline of his atonement for his sins. My favorite part of the episode was the therapy session. Those camera angles did an excellent job of making it feel uncomfortable. I'm not looking forward to the inevitable heavy handed racial and political overtures that will undoubtedly appear. As long as its not the only defining character arc I'm cool with it just thinks there's so much more potential here. Obviously I'm coming back for more on Friday and ill withhold judgement but to me it gave me the exact feeling that The Boys Season 2 and WandaVision and even the Mandalorian did initially. I was just left with a feeling of "Thats it?" Man I hate we've moved away from binge watching. An underwhelming or slow burn episode works fine when I can immediately watch the next. Waiting a week is a different story.

DJ is the most underrated WR in the league right now. Option A and jt isn't close. If he signed for 18 million Id be ecstatic. I fully expect him to be the highest paid WR in the NFL when his contract is up. Why? Because DJ Moore is still only 23 years old. There are rookie WRs in this draft that are a year younger than DJ. Hell, Golladay is 27. I would never give Curtis Samuel 11-12 a year when we have CMC on the roster. Factor in the monster boom in salary cap were going to see in 2023 and the 100+ million we have available next season and I'm not too worried about his cost

So looks like there wasn't an actual Texans trainer. He referred to Quincy Avery twice and once was as a "Texans trainer" At least that's what the internet tells me. I'm sure the "Its a Hit by the Texans" heard that bit and ran with it.

For what its worth. Thats also Trey Lance's personal QB coach Doesn't mean anything one way or another. Just recognized the name from Lance's pro day.

Worth noting there's is a time jump of about 8 months between the apologies (think that was the first complaint) and the 3rd (assault claim) I'm anxious to see the resolution like everyone else but if he is allegedly continuing to get away with it its not unreasonable that he progressed to this culmination. I still stand by my original stances of if this is true the DA should pick up criminal charges and if it isn't and a massive set up Cal should be forced to sell and see jail time as well.

Whichever of Slater or Sewell are still on the board. After that I could get behind Pitts, Parsons or Chase but I'd much prefer a trade down and get a future 1st.

If we want him we can get him. No moves required, give him big guaranteed money, spread it over life of the deal. 14-15 million will look like a bargain this time 2 years once that cap goes up from the TV deals.

Edited my post to make sure future readers know that its just a rumor and it was prior to the extension. Certainly don't want people quoting you and running with fake news because of the telephone game.

I dont disagree with anything said. In fact I meant to put at the end of my blurb on Buzzbee that as insufferable he may seem that doesn't make him an incompetent attorney. He has been extremely successful and at one time was elected as a top trial attorney in the country. I certainly don't want to liken this to that of Weinstein, Nassar, Bill Cosby or any other preceeding incidents but because of those very instances I am not going to ignore these claims entirely because of the time that has passed. I cant speak to anyone getting into his inner circle but there was someone in this thread I believe who said the decision to trade Hopkins was because he was a bad influence on Watson when it came to women and it was at Watson's moms behest he was traded. Of course thats 100% a rumor and the poster said as much but that was before the extension I believe. Obviously there's been nothing to substantiate that claim but theres the time old adage "money changes people" or maybe its CTE or maybe someone else did worm their way into his circle but I would agree these allegations don't seem like they came from the same person who donated their first game check to the cafeteria and facility staff of the Texans. Like you I'm hopeful and confident the Justice system works out in this situation.

Exactly. Last big want on my list. Still need another Guard, tackle and TE on offense Defense needs a true number 1 CB and a FS.
