In what world are the Raiders the job that Ben Johnson has been waiting on?

They have no QB and they're in a division with Mahomes/Reid, Herbert/Harbaugh, Nix/Payton, QB/HC combos.  

There really isn't anything attractive about that job right now

Pats are being accused of thumbing their nose at the Rooney Rule...

Shocking, I know 😕

The problem with it is if Glenn, a legitimate HC candidate, was praised for turning them down to interview because he knew they were just doing it for the rule because they wanted Vrabel.  

Then what are they supposed to do except bring in guys who know they aren't getting the job just to satisfy the rule so they can make their hire?

Vrabel is as legitimate a HC candidate imaginable, he shouldn't have been fired by the Titans in the first place, and there is a clear connection between the two of them.  I get the point of the rule, but at the same time, there are situations like this where the rule was going to make any interview a non legitimate one because everyone knew who they were hiring.

I assume Deion ends up in Dallas now

Shadeur will probably force his way to Dallas without them having to trade to which will take another position player off board for us 

Dak has a full no trade clause 

Dak to the Jets for Rodgers and #8.

#8 and #12 (and whatever else they'd need to include) to the Browns to take Shedeur.

Rodgers gets 1 season to make a SB run while he mentors Shedeur for the season and then Shedeur takes over in year 2.

Honestly, it wouldn't be the worst scenario since I don't think Shedeur is going to be a great QB anyways, might as well give him a redshirt year learning from one of the best to ever do it.

And if I'm the Jets, I'm definitely doing that as I think Dak is still a good QB who likely can handle the NY media and will allow you to contend for the playoffs right away.  They're not finding a better QB solution this offseason than Dak would be.

IIRC last year, Johnson was done deal to Washington for a couple of weeks before he backed out.   Might like to be courted.

Sure, but they had the #2 pick and aren't in that division with those QB's and HC's 

I agree, that's what I'm saying.  Don't think he's actually serious, but likes to be chased.  Last year it was Wash, this year will be Vegas.  (Assuming that x post has any validity.).

I gave up trying to embed this one. The board is extra crappy today 👿

Maybe I get pooed on but while I understand the point of the rooney rule I think it's stupid and patronizing if you've already made up your mind who you're going to hire to interview people you have no interest in hiring just to check a box. If you're doing a coaching search it 100% makes sense.  But yes please take draft picks from them or something because fug the pats

I think he'll still strongly consider the Jags because they have a QB for him to work with (maybe the Bears too, but I just don't think he wants to deal with that franchise and be in such a tough division).

If he doesn't go down to Jacksonville though, I think he waits until next offseason to try and go to wherever gets the #1 pick so he can draft Arch

I heard or read that he was eyeballing the Jags job at one time.  We shall see--after that owner threw the GM under the bus on national TV, I might reconsider---It was my opinion at the time that Jerry Richardson's "Pie chart" presser days before underclassmen had to declare for the draft was the reason Andrew Luck went back to school--same effect.  If you recall, he made no damn sense, he seemed to hit on Morgan Fogherty and he trashed Darin Gantt.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
