Mr. Scot

Hence why I said "agreeing to terms" as opposed to "signing". Hadn't occurred to me that some might not know the difference. Signed contracts have to be reported to the league for approval.

I mean, if it went that far and he was still available in like the 5th or 6th, I'd take a shot at him.

As I recall, Lombardi's been a GM a couple of times but never for very long. A couple years back when he was working as an insider, he reported the story that John Fox was going to be fired. Nobody else was saying it but he stuck by it and repeated it over and over. It didn't happen.

I'd view Tepper not liking somebody as a pretty solid endorsement. Technically though, Rhule does still have final say.

That particular paradox is true more often than I wish it were.

It'd mean Rhule won the debate. Scott Fitterer pretty clearly wants to draft a rookie and build around him. Matt Rhule doesn't have time for that.

People who are convinced they're smarter than everybody else don't hear wakeup calls.

You read right. It could change, but as of right now there haven't been any plans to have him visit reported.

That...doesn't sound good

How many times have we seen deals announced with people we didn't even know we were talking to? Hell, that's been this entire offseason.

It works pretty much any way you want. No one's required to report anything until it's official.

It's not hard to see that Fitterer wants to go the draft route. Convincing Rhule might not be easy though.

We're reported to have been in touch with Duane Brown. I could see a scenario where they agree to terms in secret but don't announce anything until after the draft so as not to telegraph their plans.

Is he wrong though?

I knew the dude was an a--hole but geez

That's it? There's gotta be more than that. Hell, if I had to answer for stuff I said or did back when I was young and stupid, I suspect I'd have gotten turned down for a job or two myself. (and I doubt I'm the only one who can say that)

That "one" is a damn good one though. Definitely.

I suspect a lot of us have similar stories from his draft day. Likewise, stories of being completely floored when the news broke that he was retiring.

I'm not familiar. Fill me in.

James Campen is now "in the building".

Sam Darnold type questions or Antonio Brown type questions?

The videos of Luke from the NFL Top 100 are a lot of fun to watch. The comments from opponents crack me up Pretty sure all of us have seen some of those moments when Luke went apesh-t before a play started because he saw something he recognized from film.

What do you believe?

I won't be. Despite already making billions on an annual basis, these guys chose to add a 17th game for the regular season, even while saying that player safety extremely important to them. I suspect some of these guys would more readily forgive you for screwing their wife than they would taking their money.

Looking at this... Kuechly: Ron was super relaxed. I remember he had on either a vest or sweater. It was like an argyle sweater, Panthers’ blue, gray and white. And he was as friendly as ever. It was one of the best meetings I had because I walked in there and it went immediately to football. To me, that was easy to talk about. With Luke's attention to detail, it wouldn't have surprised me if he'd said "Ron was also wearing grey socks, a blue belt, a couple of rings and what smelled like Axe cologne. There was just a hint of Dial soap too so I'm guessing that's what he used to shower that morning. I remember he looked left when he first entered the room and then chose to sit in the third chair from the right."
