NFL 2020-21

Not sure how many HCs are also GMs, but that usually isn't a good combo.
I think if it's not the Patriots the only other likely team is the Bucs. It'll be interesting to see if Tom thinks the Bucs have a chance at anything. His style doesn't really jive with Arians' so not sure it would be a great fit, but he'll take it if his main goal is to try to stick it to bill at this point
Looks like Brady is between the Bucs and the Chargers. Reportedly got $30M+ offers from both.
He's gotta be a little disappointed that the only two teams willing to throw that money at him aren't title contenders, but at least he'll make top dollar now.
Classic Bill. Keep a player below market value for 20 years, and as soon as that player demands more than he deserves, cut bait. Ruthless, but that's why he's a winner I guess. Glad to see it.

So, would it be preferable to go to Afc west and have to contend with Mahomes in his prime, or nfc south and brees in what is likely his final year?
Bucs all day, everyday. Mahomes has the AFC on lockdown. If the Bucs can get a legit RB (maybe Melvin Gordon), they'll be stacked with offensive weapons. And that Bucs defense has ability and talent. They played really well at times especially towards the end of the year. I agree that Arains style isn't very TB like but I think Tom can make it work.
I could see him getting that Bucs team to 9 wins, which with a 7th playoff spot could be good enough to sneak in.
Congrats Boys, that's a good price for a guy that's been pretty good when given chances.
And he worked with Joe Brady in N'awlens. Hopefully a good fit for a decent price.
Apparently Cam not happy that he was told he could shop himself. I mean, panthers are in rebuild mode so what did he expect . Maybe the Skins and Rivera bring him on for a few years.
Why do you think that? They are getting him for about the same thing they owed Newton this year.
To be fair, they aren't in a total rebuilding mode. They have some good pieces, but the D needs an upgrade for sure. I assume they think Teddy is a better bridge (pun intended) to their next franchise QB, since he is 3 years younger than Newton.
Rebuild mode means starting from scratch. The best way to do that would be to tank this year and get Lawrence next year.
Ha...indeed the life dreams are made of

Yeah, I get it but no guarantees that you can tank enough to get exactly what you want.
They'll probably end up 7-9 again, and get a middling pick....
perfect example was the 2019-20 dolphins...they were trying to lose, lost sight of failure, then enjoyed winning.
The whole idea of “tanking” is something I just cannot fathom and I wonder how that goes over in locker rooms. No player that’s worth anything would willingly go along with the idea of losing on purpose. So how do coaches and GMs explain their strategy to players?
not play regular starters, trade starters for picks, fire coaches, “change philosophies in play-calling” is always my favorite.

I'd rather they get Slingin' Sammy Howell the year after.
Yeah the dolphins tried some of that but the coaches and players didn't get the message. I mean, why would players deliberately want to play badly so that the team drafts better players and replaces them?
i’d go cam, brissett, or dalton.
however, my wish would be trade for dak, give us the 1st rounders, we sign dalton and either draft tua this year or trevor next year.
lol, i feel like i should run dallas.
Tanking isn't asking the players to willing lose on purpose. It's going out and signing Lubetek to a one year deal to make sure you don't have the talent to compete or trading decent players for shitty players and draft picks.
derek carr has no guaranteed money and is under contract through 22...watch what happens with him.
@gteeitup Cowboys have lost a net of three starters on defense I think in Collins, Byron Jones, and Heath. With no real significant adds on defense. That's where they were thin already. I get that they are waiting around for free agency phase 2, once the insane money deals pass....but I hope they don't wait too long, and just end up with a bunch of project guys, who have to play above their heads to even be starters in the NFL. I hope they know what they are doing.
Even if they get Clowney, he can only play one position, and can't make up for weaknesses and holes at several other defensive spots.

cows just inked gerald mccoy to a three year deal...rumors of emanuel sanders as well...that’s a good start.
you guys see what michael irvin is saying about what bill o’brien said to nuke hopkins?
“too many baby mamas” and “too much like aaron hernandez”

If true, texans are crazy to keep BO'b around dont ya think?
