You see the carolina panthers even with the least talent are not in the worst team situation. Denver, cleveland, and maybe arizona are worse than the panthers. If not for herbo in LA Id say Spanos makes them worse than panthers&tepper.

 

I would think that Arizona is in decent shape.  They have some cap space next year, and they are in good shape draft wise.  Kyler Murray may not be the next Pat Mahomes, but he might have a lot of talent around him.

I think they’re a sleeper next year. Kyler looks good again, McBride is gonna be an all star. Draft Harrison Jr. or trade back and get picks to use on defense. Could be pretty good next year

All true. The one deciding factor in this- Bidwill is a worse owner than tepper.

I have seen more than few rumors about murray on the trade block this off-season. I believe if not for his injury, the market would have been hot during the trade deadline. That contract is super scary too.

Yikes this story is getting nastier by the day. Russ just spoke to the media.

 

Apparently Payton never wanted Russ from the start. They approached him after a win vs the Chiefs in which they were in the playoff hunt. They asked him to take a paycut or else he would not be the starter.

 

That's some shady/evil stuff. Fug Sean Payton! This dude is going to get exposed in due time.

Hope Payton fails... Russ would  take Pittsburgh deep into the playoffs...thats where he should go. Pickett ain't it and ms. Rudolphs son aint it..

Sounds like the Front Office made the call - they wanted him to remove the injury guarantee clause.  Said he’d be benched if he didn’t.  That was back in October.

Now Payton is back-tracking so who knows, but its definitely smelling fishy in Denver.

Why are they asking him to remove a clause in the middle of a playoff run?

 

Seems like they just wanted to get out from under Russ even if they were winning. Kind of sad honestly. Imagine playing good football beating the Chiefs and after the game they hit you with this.

Sketch city.  For the front office to say that to him - and then follow up on it - WHOA.

And then for Russ to come out and speak publicly about it.  This is all a really shady situation.  Prepare to hear about it constantly the rest of the season.

Hopefully the Broncos get dump trucked the two games that Wilson misses and Stidham shits the bed hard.

That's a win-win as the fanbase will turn on each other over the Wilson/Payton feud.

I found a Broncos message board if anyone is interested.  And yes, it is as bad as I suspected.  That fanbase is losing their minds right now… 🙃

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
