Jake and Steve are involved, if you count his time as a position coach probably more. Staff and scouts are your thing so I'll defer to you on that. It's a small world especially when it comes to 32 football teams in a country of hundreds of millions of people

Jake and Steve wouldn't be in any position to influence personnel decisions. The front office is mostly turned over except for maybe Jeff Morrow who probably isn't that influential anymore.

Deac is right about Morgan, but I still wouldn't see this as nepotism (KSpan is right there).

Regardless, it's just a tryout opportunity to make it to the camp roster. I wouldn't bet on him making it to the final roster.

Here's what I'll say about Austin Proehl - he has a lot of his father in his game.  But he's just not talented enough.  Would Ricky have been as successful in the 2023 NFL versus the game 20 years ago?   Even then, he was a WR4-5.  Someone who could play, but not a game changer.

Best of luck to him!  It's a nice story, but I'm not placing any wagers on him.  Then again, he could surprise everyone.

It certainly would be a surprise, a big surprise. if Austin Proehl made the team in any form or fashion.

If a player is 27 years old and still trying to make an NFL team for the first time, the odds against success would have to be almost overwhelming.

You should go into politics.

I never understood the Brenton Bersin hate.  I know he was nothing special, but he was just a kid trying to make it.  He caught everything thrown his way.  I like pulling for guys like that.  Much better than pulling for someone that never lived up to his potential talent.

I understand why. If you remember correctly when he played, most of the time when his name was mentioned on here it was usually followed with his skin color. Its a reality some will not admit to but not the full reason either. Some of the other reasons I think included somehow his family's ties to Jerry and how the theory was that he was given the roster spot because somehow the Bersin family must have had some sort of dirt on ole Jerry like they knew his favorite website to whack his doodle to or something incriminating. He also had a couple flubs returning punts and people never forgot that. All three of those together got him lots of hate and smart comments. He did catch most of everything thrown his way but he was definitely replaceable and eventually was even if Brenton's grandpappy knew how many times Jerry shuffled his old dusty chicken to Two Girls And a Cup and threatened to tell the world.

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
