Johnson is reportedly listening though. Some have called him their leading candidate.

Also, having an executive who played till 40 tells me they wouldn't necessarily ball at an older quarterback.

Yes but Johnson listened to almost everyone this round. Lol.

Again, I think the odds of Johnson to LV are probably in the order of 1-2% likelihood.

Rap Sheet might disagree.

Brady is said to be going "full court press" for Johnson, including having an extended conversation with his agent.

Lol. I could care less about Ian Makeupareport. His track record is pretty sketchy. Classic "be first to report" guy.

He can press all he wants, fully or otherwise. So is every other suitor. 

Doesn't make them more likely to gain his services.

Don't know. We'll see. 

To be clear, Rapoport isn't the only one talking about it.

I don't really see why that would matter for them. They have a QB they like and they would be drafting one of the best two non-QB's at 4. That's one of the least impactful moving from 1 to 4 scenarios I can imagine in recent memory.

That's still a massive loss of draft capital. In the 1st round alone, the value pick differential going off of the standard chart (which is a rough guideline to be fair) dropping from #1 to #4 is the equivalent of the #12 overall pick.

Rex Ryan Is lobbying for the Jets job. 

Oy 😕

The Jets might be in a the same boat Tepper found himself in where their wish list kinda has to start where everyone else's ends. If someone has another option they're probably gonna take the other option.

Yeah but, again, that has very little actual impact unless they were banking on trying to trade out of #1. The impact to the talent they get will be almost nothing(in theory).

I don't think he got canned for that win. I think he got canned for not winning enough and also for better coaching options being available. 

Kraft is leaning towards being a dysfunctional franchise, IMO. Will be interesting to see what happens moving forward with Vrabel.

Granted. 

I'm hoping we got lucky. We pretty much knew that getting lucky was about the only way Tepper was going to get a good head coach.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      The NFL eats giant bad contracts all the time. I looked and the 3rd starts at 6.7 at pick 67 and 6.1 at pick 96. With the way the NFL cap keeps going up and how they all work the cap it really shouldn't be an issue for any team that can get 1 year out of rookies.  Maybe it would cut down on teams taking giant leaps on guys they shouldn't? This would have got Hurney fired in 3 years lol

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
