I mean, the sex stuff aside-- Client solicitation is an ABA conduct violation. He marketed his own experience and background in his rambling posts while basically advertising the forthcoming lawsuits like it was a preview for a tv show. And now it looks more like him vs. Deshaun rather than the women he claims he represents. And now, he's glamorizing this and it's just unfortunate regardless of what really happened (which sounds like it could be bad news for Watson). Let's just get Lance haha

Kevin King & Dan Arnold then call it a day.

When I feel underwhelmed about our offensive linemen signings, I look at what the Bears are doing and feel much better about our entire situation.

I don't like the OL signings but I would be patient. It may have been odd being the first FA signings, but in stepping back, we're backfilling the line so that we can take BPA on the line in the draft. Not forcing ourselves to go guard, center or tackle. Though, left tackle is obviously preferred. If we stumble on a future center, Elflein takes more of a guard role, we could stumble on a new starting guard (or) two, then Elflein is the backup center, Erving becomes depth that can play LG or RG. Trent Scott performed pretty well so maybe he has an inside track for LT. I just find it interesting we're looking at flexibility over a starter investment at RG or LG. I think we're looking at something like this right now: LT: Scott/Little/Daley LG: Daley/Elflein/Erving Center: Paradis/Elflein/Tecklenberg RG: Erving/Elflein/Horton RT: Moton/Kaskey It ain't pretty by any means but it's a lot of new names, so, it's hard to judge. We are still in high need of an OT. I would look at the draft for at least one (with LT potential) and a G/C. It's actually quite a nice draft in the tackle class with many more than usual having the 6'4 300+, +34" arms measurables you look for. But going back to being pessimistic: If you combine the deals for Elflein & Erving, we could've given a 15 mil guaranteed 3 yr/~25 mil type contract to a much better guard UFA. Problem is we needed depth as much as a known commodity starter. Maybe we still sign a guy. Just odd we did Elflein & Erving first for how bad they've played and how injured they've been. The rest of the FA has been money.

I endorse a leaf rep option. It would also apply for @saX man threads.

Larsen barely saw the field and had a contract like Elflein. Elflein is Larsen...Larsen is Elflein. Finkel is Einhorn Really think it’s clear we’re targeting OL in the draft

The Watson/Wilson rumors have actually talked me into being the most comfortable with a slight trade up for Lance or Fields whether it's to #3 or #5. I'd prefer we have a deal with MIA set up going into the draft and get ourselves Lance for less without losing any players, 6-8 less years under his belt, and all the potential in the world. Package that with some weapons and linemen to round out the draft and we can go into the season with the usual void in the secondary lol.

Is it odd that I want Trey more than him even though I agree that Wilson is the clear #2 pick? I just got a good feel with Lance for some reason. Think we could come out swinging with him on offense. Lance-CMC-Moore-Robbie, +some exciting rookie RB/WRs. That gets the juices flowing.

This is all just weird as hell. Especially with it just being masseuses and a really clean history, the timing, the behavior of the lawyer. We live in weird times.

We may be waiting for the next rush of signings to find the next value level. I've got my eye on Jaquiski Tartt S and/or Quinton Dunbar CB I think Corn is an RFA so maybe we bring him back, would actually really like to see him back. Offense wise: WR: Josh Reynolds

That's been in line with what I'm thinking; I agree. R1: Lance R2/3/4 (one of these picks gone in the trade up): +Maybe that Cosmi guy from Texas; grab at least 1 T/G +There are WRs are to be had, good class Basically, if we can get Lance (who I think we're locked in on) and end up with only like 4 or 5 picks, just score just 2-3 impact guys on offense and I think it's not too bad. Call it a day. May be a rough year but it sets up 2022. I wouldn't discount some gadget-y RB later on and maybe a TE.

I mean, we backfilled the OL to set up the draft. So if we don't do the Deshaun thing, we likely roll into the year with like Lance/Fields, Probs ~2 rookie OLs, a rookie WR, maybe a TE. Dare they go all offense after going all defense?

Yeah it's a really interesting 5-2 front. I still anticipate a DB signing to help round out the 3-3-5 looks. The whole 4-3 or 3-4 thing is very fluid these days. Team's base defenses are played like 20% of the snaps. More nickel and hybrid looks than anything else and we've got an athletic batch.

His very own actions are through the mold of a publicist and not an attorney. Courting the public opinion through reactive tweets/IG posts is how you don't succeed in the matter. I'm not giving Watson a pass here but this is an awful "lawyer". Hyping his own military experience and resume? WTF even is this?

Now this is a batch of signings...our 335/hybrid is looking dope: Morgan Fox DE 6'3 276, good contributor on the Rams D Hasaan Reddick EDGE who found new life last year, that Rhule connection Denzel Perryman OLB with a mean streak (hopefully can get 12+ games for us) lol I mean, are we ready to trade for Deshaun now?!

From the Rams right? He's been a really good piece on that defense. All offense draft upcoming???

Publicly announcing a lawsuit against Watson, yet he hadn't filed a lawsuit. Deshaun may be able to have a defamation case built in no time depending on how this unravels. Seems like he's just trying to breathe it out into the ethos. I mean, if Deshaun asked for more inner thigh and she said no and then he didn't press any further, then I'm a bit confused to the whole misconduct here. Anyhoo, always shaky grounds to walk on in this territory, Ima peace from this thread ha.

oh lawd haha.

I'm not jumping to any conclusions but this reeks of slime. And given what we're seeing develop, it appears it could be ricocheting right back into his face.

It's because he's a pure skeezball who's trying to make himself look closer than he is to the top brass of Houston area politics when he's really just a publicity lawyer and failed mayoral candidate.

Trump megadonor, failed mayoral candidate, socialite, & "super" lawyer Tony Buzbee, neighbor of Cal McNair, pay-for-play fraudster, and the type of lawyer who buys billboards...yeahh...

This is gonna be a long damn month or so.

Interesting. When I worked in Del Mar/Solana Beach, would see him with his fam around every once and a while during offseasons. Honestly, seemed like a great dude which sucked bc I wanted to dislike the guy.

I think the more interesting part of this is NYJ & MIA being off the list. I mean, we're not discounted in this scenario. So that actually opens up both spots for a trade up (as much many may not want it). That #2 could be mad interesting. It won't be as steep as Watson, maybe it just takes picks which honestly, I don't think is the end of the world. I dunno, just spitballing. Deshaun Watson coming would be insanely awesome, but yup, not really thinking it happens so I'll be ecstatic if it somehow does. 2: Zach Wilson, some OLs, & skill-position players could be dope 3-8: Fields (or) Trey Lance, some OLs, & skill-position players could be dope as well I don't think we really are trying to do anything else. Unless we can't get that to work bc of the other teams, then yeah, we may be fudged but I think Fields may be there at 8.

But check out how many are still on the open market: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/all/guard/ I want to hear more than just "flexibility" in respect to why we targeted these two in particular. It seems very targeted when there's so much availability, and many starters at that.
