The only way this isn't a total dumpster fire is if, by some act of God, they got him for Cheap.
This is what ESPN said:
20 million max is dirt cheap TBH. As someone who is still a fan of A-Rod, I choose to believe he'll enter the DMT realm and leave with the ability to slaughter his way to the Super Bowl where he'll inevitably be defeated by Green Bay.
Eh, Anthony Richardson sucks with the throwing part, but at least he can run. JaNiggus Russell was a different level of abysmal that only Al Davis could conjure.
I say they run with Danny Derps and Tank.
They are both in very odd situations. The Colts seem to be able to form some talent but are constantly underperforming. Mostly because they can't figure out the QB situation. Steelers can't figure anything out but are somehow getting by. Steelers are capable of making the playoffs but can't win in them. Colts are capable of being able to compete for the playoffs but never actually are able to punch their ticket in.
I'm so naive I'd never even heard of ayahuasca until it was associated with Aaron Rogers.
Not directly related to the NFL, but if they go big to some streaming platform, broadcast TV and basic cable in the USA are completely fucked. And I think everybody knows it at this point, that live sporting events is the one thing keeping them afloat. And the most important piece of that being the NFL.
Richardson may not be developing and taking himself out of a game is a super bad look both outwards and inwards, but I haven't heard any leaks from the Colts org anywhere near as damning re: his work ethic as the blank playbook incident with Jamarcus
Browns are more likely to be willing to let go of Pickett, so probably either him or they pony up for Kirk Cousins. Now that Irsay's not around I can easily see Ballard going back to old habits of trying to duct tape his roster/keep his job with washed veterans.
And so continues the tradition of a Superbowl winning former Philadelphia quarterback going to Indy. I think it's likely they ship Pickett off somewhere before the trade deadline, if nothing else to make their QB room less schizophrenic. Flacco took them to the playoffs, It seems likely if all else fails he's their go to.
The Browns are prolly a bit more willing to move Pickett over Flacco, but Flacco is the more logical pick considering he was on the Colts roster last year and Ballard/Steichen need to be competitive right now. Cousins isn't a horrible idea either, but compensation talks will definitely be interesting. (Well, it is a bad idea, but maybe 4th time or w/e is the charm?)
I knew some of these, but six teams for fucking Switzerland? What the fuck?
Yeah, that one is surprising. I'm assuming there has to be an NFL fan contingent located there, but not sure how that happened. My only other guess is teams factor in the effort to market shit and generally do business there and teams are already familiar with Swiss finance. I'm also kinda shocked about the lack of Nordic countries because I would have thunk the Vikings had a presence there.
You guys are overthinking a simple joke. Russell was the first thing that popped in my head when I read the post I quoted. I was actually impressed with Richardson his rookie season given his history.
A good 75% of the league's GMs right now are banking on drafting a generational talent at QB to save their franchise, which any other given year is pretty delusional to begin with. And generally it hasn't been a cure-all since they still need time to develop or are thrown into a team with absolutely nothing going for it, with the expectation they're just going to fix everything for them immediately, sometimes both. So I expect every franchise that's not set at QB, and hasn't been a contender, to just focus all their effort on tanking for Arch over the next two years.
The problem with tanking is that we only have a rough estimate at best of what next years draft class will potentially look like. There is going to be a whole upcoming college football season where players can make names for themselves and those who already have could potentially fall depending on their performance in it. Arch Manning may not even end up declaring for the draft next year, he may decided to spend one more year in college to really iron out his experience level. That and possibly make a decent amount of money given the recent NCAA ruling.
