IF TRUE---a first rounder is a lot to risk on a player who would exit the league after his next physical.  We have to speculate, but there is no way I take him unless I have had him in for a visit and had a cardiologist or two check him  over.  Sweat was in for a visit, I believe.

Yeah, from the list I saw, we had him in for a private visit and several other meetings.

I just don't believe that hr makes it past 16 unless there is really a high percentage of him dropping dead, and I don't"t believe that's the case, otherwise he wouldn't be on any draft boards.

He hasn't been anywhere near the impact NFL player I expected him to be. He looked like the greatest football player of all time in that bowl game against UNC.

[Proudiddy]

Werent we super interested in him coming out?

I was never impressed, but if he can be had for a mid-rounder, why not?

Steelers just agreed to an extension with Roethlisberger.

If it's a big payout, that could be your new benchmark for Newton.

I doubt a one year extension is going to set any type of benchmark.

Hadn't seen any terms yet. I figured it'd be bigger.

It’s been 2 years... usually DEs take time to develop. Hasn’t been the case as much in recent years with guys like Chubb, but I still think ST becomes a great pro

[Shocker]

Thomas has been extremely average

Wow a QB his age just went over 30 mil a year. They said he is in the top 3 now and this coming from a guy before last year said he might retire. Damn not good for us wanting to pay Newton.

[LinvilleGorge]

Wow. Didn't expect him to get that, but then again he did throw for over 5000 yards last year.
