All you do is sh&t on people like @Verge, @ellis, @Mr. Scot . It’s nice to hear what they’ve heard and they a whole hell of lot more than you. All you do is spout off about Appaloser model, who bought psls for the day and what emoji to use next. Do us all a favor and leave. You make people like those who actually have news not want to post any.

Fify. Yeah he doesn't understand the huddle as a community before his arrival.

Forgive him.

I ignored this strange person last month when I noticed I was wasting my time reading their bs

I think the NFL is just very fluid in general. Perhaps Watson was interested in playing for us last offseason. Most analysts were pretty high on Rhule still. After this season and the obvious make or break year coming up his opinion changed (and rightfully so). Draft predictions are also very fluid. The Niners probably liked Mac at first and Lance won them over with interviews and potential.

You were lied to for clicks.  Sorry you had to find out this way.  Elements are being added to the chain of events that never happened.  That is what I am talking about.

At the end of the day, there was a perfect storm of events that led Stafford to the Rams.  Not only did he want to be there, but they wanted him just as bad, and the Lions front office was extremely comfortable with the Rams front office.  The Lions GM just came from the Rams, where he had spent his entire NFL front office career (since 2003).  The Asst. GM for the Lions was also from the Rams, and had been there just as long as the GM.  The way the Lions describe the events matches how Kyle Shanahan recalls the events.  Once the ball started rolling, it happened so quick that there wasn't time to react.  The Lions new staff was most comfortable dealing with the Rams, and the Rams were willing to do whatever it took to get Stafford.  They even felt comfortable enough to work out a deal for a slight delay in executing the trade so that the Rams would take on Goff's roster bonus that was due, and not the Lions.

There were several player names discussed during the negotiations as well.  In the end only Goff was included in the deal, though Michael Brockers came over in a separate deal shortly after.

Offers from other teams were used as the backbone of the negotiations between the Rams and Lions.  Both teams stayed locked into negotiations knowing a deal was inevitable.

From what I've read, it sounds like some teams are becoming less afraid of his lawsuits. However, they're still fairly concerned about the ten criminal cases.

A recent judge's ruling moved up the timing on several remaining depositions for his lawsuits. One of the apparent worries his legal team has is that if he's questioned under oath in those depositions, information learned from them could be used by prosecutors seeking to indict him.

How likely is that to play out? Don't know, but it's another of the many reasons to stay far away from him.

Breaking News:  Any top tier NFL QB that has options isn't coming to Carolina...

...along with 26 other NFL teams who aren't in the hunt for a Lombardi 🤦‍♂️

(not to mention there are no "top tier NFL QB's" available to anyone 😉)

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
