DeAngelo Williams' next move

He's becoming a wrestler.

Williams is scheduled to compete in a tag team match with Moose (former NFL offensive lineman Quinn Ojinnaka) at Impact’s Slammiversary XV pay-per-view on July 2 in Orlando, where they will face Chris Adonis and Eli Drake.

In April, Williams and his former Panthers teammate Gary Barnidge rescued Moose from an attack by another wrestler, so it makes sense that they’d team up in the future.

While he doesn’t have the star power of a Rob Gronkowski (which explains the fact Williams is not appearing at a WWE event), he has long been a fan.

The Steelers let him walk as a free agent this offseason. The 34-year-old gained 343 yards on 98 carries last year, so it seems his football days have passed.

How you feel about MMA?

Love it, but that's a real sport.

But, I will say that I'm not a big fan of the swing the UFC has taken under new ownership. Seems like it's getting more WWE-esque by the day. This whole McGregor/Mayweather deal, plus all the press conference brawls, etc. Eh... not liking it.

Exactly how I feel. I'm a fan of the old WEC days. Urijah Faber, Benson Henderson, and those boys. Those were the glory days.

Yep, I was a big fan of the WEC. Donald Cerrone is my favorite active fighter and has been a long time.

I'm a big MMA fan, but I'm honestly not sure that I'm going to last long term as most of my favorite fighters are probably nearing the end of their careers and these up and comers just aren't appealing to me for the most part. Too much WWE style bullshit. Watching Chuck Liddell back in 2000 is what got me started on MMA and I weathered that old guard's retirement and found new favorites, but I don't know... this current batch of youngsters just isn't really doing it for me.

McGoober is ruining it for everyone. He's a marketing genius but it takes the fun out of it for me as a martial arts fan.

And agreed. My favorite guys from the last generation are probably Condit and Wonderboy and both got screwed out of a decision in their last title fights.

I really like Robbie Lawler, but IMO he should've lost both those fights vs. Hendricks as well as the Condit fight.

I don't blame McGregor. He's just looking out for himself, but I do blame the UFC for letting him just run amok and do basically whatever he wants. Now you have every champ thinking he can call his own shots and hand pick fights and it's the UFC's fault for creating that situation because they've allowed McGregor to do exactly that.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
