He's a JAG. We better not go through with paying this guy $10M next season.

Lots of tough decisions to be made. Coming into the year, Luke said this was the best linebacking corps he had ever been part. Now, they are facing the prospect of having to replace two of the three starts at LB.

The Butler (outright bust) and Shaq (disappointment) picks especially hurt because they were luxury picks at the time. We were deep and talented st thosse positions when those picks were made. They were made for the future. Now is that future and they're just not good enough. Meanwhile, we ignored obvious immediate needs to take these guys because evidently we just felt THAT good about them. Ouch.

Turns out Gettleman wasn’t such a great talent evaluator after all. He sure fooled me.

He will be cut easily and he saves us 9 mil. We will likely spend our offseason on reshaping the defense through FA and the draft. Going to be exciting trying to rebuild this defense around Kuechly.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
