lesson here (imo) is that anytime someone tells you a bet on the board in Vegas is a 100% lock, run far away. somebody is betting the other side of that and wants your money.

y'all I like Ransom already. he's got a legit Peanut Punch *right now* and he shows a lot of promise in reading blocking schemes to make a difference in run defense. and for those saying he will start on ST--hell yes. he has blocked multiple punts at OSU. love the pick.

I liked Mike Jackson and thought he was a good player. but hearing him speak in his press conference after getting his contract... man he's going to be easy to root for. he got me pumped up just how he was talking about his mindset. respect.

yeah I don't think the Panthers got Brown as a consolation prize from missing out on Milton. I think they hoped to get Brown AND Milton. now we'll see who they get to fill Milton's role.

ok guys, get the panicking about the 2 years, 20M out of the way now. if you wait too long, the details about the cap hits and guaranteed money will come out, and all that will have been for nothing

I'll go ahead and open up the high-rise window so fans can start jumping when they see the contract numbers

Milton Williams incoming

do yourself a favor and don't even think about the cap ramifications of signing a single digit millions guaranteed two year deal. they offered to let him hit the market, they got a sense of the market, and decided it made more sense to get it done before the start of free agency. in terms of big picture roster management, this is a nothing burger. Tremble is a perfectly acceptable player with some upside who showed a lot more once the quarterback play got more consistent. funny how that works! he'll be either TE2 or TE 1B for the next two years. if he sees $16M, he'll have earned it and no one will complain. move on. the real insane contracts are coming starting tomorrow.

I know it's literally sponsored propaganda, but tbh this video made me feel, for the first time this year, that the culture of the team might actually be changing. all that talk from Morgan and Canales, and it might actually be happening

Robert Hunt is the biggest home run FA acquisition this team has had in a long while

fans looking at the "up to $X" numbers on a contract announcement, doing simple division, and thinking it will be an $X/year cap hit is a tale just as old, though. $15M guaranteed over 4 years. hope to see the numbers, and wonder if they even shifted any of the guaranteed money into this year since he signed mid-season. if he drops off a cliff then it won't be difficult to get out of that contract. otherwise he's clearly a cornerstone of the offense and they're rewarding the right kind of player. deep breaths!

the constant "process blue" washing of the Tepper foundation's every dollar donated is corny as hell. I liked it better when you heard tell of nice things the owners did from a 3rd party. with some credibility and positive word of mouth. not tooting your own horn every time you give a little scratch.

I will say that the vibe I'm getting from the new coaches, and even from Morgan, as stiff as he is, is authenticity. not overshooting in their ambitions, practical in their coaching and in their thinking, and living who they are in every setting.

*looks around* Trevin Wallace has a chance of being a good player

yes, and I don't think it's a question.
