Brandon has done a great job, and he's young.  Interested that they weren't interested in Kamara.

In related news (since we don't have a NFL news thread that I can find, Mike Thomas was placed on IR today and isn't not expected to play this year.  Looks like the team told him twice to have surgery, and again he didn't....but now he will.  

"Thomas will have missed 40 over the past three. His future with the Saints is certainly in doubt in the wake of this news.

Probably because Ole’ Alvin likes getting liquored up in the club and sucker punching people.

I don't think that is what was said. It's been a couple hours since I watched it, but I'm pretty sure...

They saw Kamara was available from somewhere (twitter, grapevine, w/e.)

Called them. Got no response back, so they did no research.

Media reported they were rejected.

I didn’t want to start a new thread, but just saw that the Rams offered 2 firsts and a second for Burns. Time for him to prove that kind of worth. That one may come back to haunt us. Hope I’m wrong. 

2023 Second (I assume)

2024 First

2025 First

That would have been an incredible haul. Those two firsts have potential to be top 15 picks over the next two years as the Rams look poised to regress with that oline and an aging Stafford.

100% agree. What a stupid decision. Primarily made because Burns is a short term puzzle piece for a GM who very likely won’t last long enough to use those draft picks.

That was QB level compensation for a tweener DE who sucks against the run and hasn’t even posted double digit sacks in a full season. What a dumb franchise we root for.

There's zero indication Fitterer is on any sort of hot seat.

Just the opposite. Josh Klein, for example, described him as "very safe".

For now. If he turned down that package and the Rams stink in 2024 and 2025 we will regret that trade. He hasn’t done anything worth keeping him for IMO. But we will see how he does without Rhule making fathead decisions

This for me is the key. It's really hard to know how good or bad of a GM Fitts is because we don't know how much Fhule factored into all the decisions. All we can infer is that him being very safe would seem to imply Tepper knows or at least thinks most of the prior bad decisions were on Fhule and not Fitts.

Not so sure our owner agrees.

Frankly, I'd put a pretty high likelihood on the criteria for what we would or wouldn't accept for guys like Moore and Burns having been discussed with Tepper.

You’re also assuming David Tepper has even the slightest ability to construct a winning franchise which he has shown no inclination of being able to do….

Turning down the Burns package was a massive mistake and Rhule isn’t here.

    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
    • The two wasted first-round draft picks, Bryce and XL. If they underperform, it's time to cut bait.
