Never seen so much mud thrown at the wall before. Virtually any take that could possibly be "reported" about this situation has been reported. That way literally anything that happens, these folks are gonna be able to point back to some "report" and say they called it. Yeah, you're gonna get it right somewhere along the way when you slather the entire wall with mud.

That’s the biggest issue with NFL media these days. Especially around draft time. It’s getting beyond ridiculous.

This just seems like posturing by both sides to me trying to get someone to budge a bit leading up to the 2nd.

The truth in all of this is probably somewhere in the middle. 
 

I’m 50/50 on this happening before the deadline. I think Tepper wants it to happen but they’re trying to limit more damage being done considering what we’ve given away for castoff players.

If we've already "re-engaged" multiple times you can hardly say that's the final nail. Saying now they weren't offering CMC seems like another face saving attempt. What I gather from this whole saga isn't anything particularly good. Our big decision makers seem to change course on a whim and if you look at the pattern of how they handled the situation with Newton and Bridgewater publicly this all fits with that dysfunction. It is what it is 🤷‍♂️

Calculated positioning is what I see, as well. They’re trying to drive the price down by being “not interested”. 

I’m convinced that Rhule and Fitterer have no interest in drafting/developing a rookie QB. They want to fast-track this thing on offense to complement our defense. The evidence is there in the off-season, tried for Watson and then Stafford then settled on Darnold. Now, Watson’s back on the menu.

It's not dying or definitive until he is traded, cut, arrested or whatever. Just say his name 3 times and there is a hot take about it.

I have no idea what will happen but it's not going away. Hopefully it just gets quieter after the trade deadline.

Until then, the morons will dance and sing and make a lot of noise getting clicks.

Agreed 100%

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
