I wonder if Pickens is available now. He's a headcase though 

Hell no... saying Pickens is a headcase is beyond an understatement, zero interest in bringing those type of players into the franchise right now, we're still working on re-setting the culture and locker room, no place for guys like him, talent aside.

I'm gonna be honest, these contracts are causing my interest in the sport to diminish. The contracts keep increasing exponentially and so do the ticket prices, merchandise, concessions, etc. while the typical fan is falling behind vs. inflation. I'm a football junkie but at some point I'm going to force myself to to lose interest in the billionaire play things. I'm getting pretty fuging close. Hell, I'll just watch local HS football to get my fix because college football is going down the same path.

The contracts have absolutely nothing to do with tickets, merchandise, concessions, etc.

This isn't MLB where teams need to make more money to pay the absurd contracts some teams give out, it's a hard cap league that is dictated by the leagues revenue, namely the TV contracts.  

Increases in costs are from a combined factors of inflation and greed, which yes, it does cause some to lose interest, but it has nothing to do with the ever increasing massive contracts.

When has Pittsburgh ever produced a head case WR?  Never has happened.  Seriously, they must put crystal meth in their jugs machine.

Here’s hoping the Steelers fail miserably. Lot of egos in that WR room.

My biggest ?, is why is the best WR drafting team trading their 2nd and swap lates AND giving 130-150(??) for a WR without a QB??

DK averages like 77 recs and 950 yards with like 6 TDs.... Pitt has owned the draft when it comes to selecting WR, yes some turn into legit clowns, still confused by this. 

Maybe the heat is getting to Tomlin??

I don't see why pitt would do this, use that 2nd or 5th and find a stat clone of DK like they always do.

Panthers looking at bills recent 1st round bust. This is one of the those elm+6th for Panthers 5th type of deals. 

 

I keep feeling like Michael Jackson is gone before reading this stuff. 

Looking at other teams failures instead of drafting your own studs? Man I've tried to be optimistic about Dan Morgan but this is way too reminiscent of Scott Fitterer.

I cannot join the dog pile for Morgan on this. Im a 100% sucker for recent former 1st rounder at bargain bin prices.

Maybe he hates buffalo, most people living there do. I know this Mcderp knows DBs as well as anyone and at the time they used a 1st on Elm. He's been in the dog house since.....but a environmental change can have big effect. Odds are low and he's cheap, that's why the price should be low(idk with other teams), but the reward could be a 8 year career as a starting CB. Or he gets cut like most 6th and 7th rounder do....

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
