I'm fine with going with the guy that can actually block and catch. Dolphins fans aren't that upset about losing him, basically a really tall possession receiver who isn't good at blocking. 2 years $13M guaranteed isn't bad for Hurst

Of course they aren't. Their coach doesn't involve the TE in the passing game. It's how we got Greg Olsen from Mike Martz's Bears. Not saying Gesicki is Greg Olsen but I'd expect a sizeable jump in his production in NE.

Silence is great news. Some team is laying low getting their cards right to get the steal of the offseason. Hopefully that team isn't in the NFC.

There's no "laying low" in the QB market. Lamar has just badly outkicked his coverage here and he's going to be very fortunate if the Ravens don't hold his feet over the fire now. They can probably fairly offer him considerably less than their last best offer now if they want to. Lamar might legitimately be looking at his best option being playing the year out under the tag and proving he can stay healthy. He'd have an extra hundred million plus in the bank right now if he hadn't been trying to save 3%.

Pretty much.

He thought he'd be the subject of a bidding war. The only war seems to be teams competing for how far they can distance themselves from him.

I expect he winds up back in Baltimore for whatever they're willing to offer.

Patience my friend. There will always be a team lurking when it comes time. 32 teams not everyone has a franchise QB.

 

Patience...

We'll see. His potential landing spots are drying up fast. I think we're seeing that the consensus around the league is that the wear and tear is catching up with him and his best play is already behind him. It might be on Lamar to prove them wrong at this point.

"Protecting Joe Burrow" ... LOL. That is the funniest thing I've read all day.

At least from what I've seen, he was arguably the best player on a bad line (kind of like Taylor Moton used to be for us).

That said, Cincy apparently believes that Brown is an upgrade.

My guess Is they thought they could keep Williams and just move him to another spot, but now he wants out.

Maybe not - appears to be a fake Twitter account from a Patriots beat writer.  Don’t see it confirmed from any of the usual guys.  

Slayton's a Giant. Pats got Smith-Shuster.

So yeah, I'd say that guy doesn't know sh-t.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
