The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Browns, whichever's easier)

Looks like Rodgers is officially going to be a Jet.
Aaron took a fucking dog's age to announce it lmfao

I kinda hope Jordan Love is a bust. Tired of Packers fans wanting to move on from an amazing QB to the next guy thinking that every QB we put behind center is going to be a world beater. Been spoiled since the 90s of having the top 5 QB every year

RIP Tom Grossi.

They've been good for long enough. Kind of like a lesser version of the Patriots but in the NFC.

Apparently, the trade for Rodgers is being held up by the Packers asking price. They want a deal similar to what the Rams traded for Stafford (which was two first round picks, a third round pick, and their former quarterback).

 

[Dirty Harry]

Does this mean we get the Jets 4 times a year on Sunday Night football and another 2 times on Monday Night football?

Just shoot me now. (but I'll still watch)

Someone pointed out, once the Rodgers trade is official, the longest tenured starting QB with his current team will be Dak Prescott. Patrick Mahomes is already up to second place.

The NFL QB carousel has been wild the last 2-3 years.

Edit: This was the list as of September 2020. The only six QBs still on the same team (for now) are Rodgers, Prescott, Mahomes, Cousins, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson. Hell, there's a small but unlikely chance Lamar is gone too.

NFL QB tenures: Who has played the longest with current team?

Now that Tom Brady has left New England for Tampa, which quarterback has played the longest with his current team?

Was going to mention Zeke being cut but late to the party. But Baker Mayfield is signing for the Bucs so that should be fun

$4m + $4.5m incentives. That's...okay. Apparently the latest news is that the Bucs FO is interested in picking up Zeke too.

Did Licht get addicted to picking up every washed player in the league on cheap contracts or something

 

[Dirty Harry]

Can the Ravens trade Lamar during the season if he has the franchise tag on him?

 

[std::string]

Can the Ravens trade Lamar during the season if he has the franchise tag on him?

Once they actually have him. He's a technically a free agent right now.

If there was a team interested in giving Lamar what he wants but didn't want to pay two first round picks, they could sit Lamar and the Ravens down to grind out the contract he wants, have the Ravens sign him to it and then have the Ravens trade him.

The Saints have signed former Detroit Lions Running Back Jamaal Williams to a 3-year, $12M deal.

Funnily enough, someone wrote an article explaining why the Saints shouldn't try to pick up Ezekiel Elliot.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

If Aaron Rodgers ends up having the same kind of season play as an aging Brett Favre used to have when he was a Jet, then it will be pretty funny, if we’re being honest.

Either if the trade goes through, it will at least be nice to see more superstar talent come to NY, since Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving don’t want to deal with New Yorkers anymore.

Spoiler

Of course, knowing the state of the city we have to live along with, I don’t blame them.

 

[Iron Hamster]

I totally expect the Jets to be a shitshow.

So the usual
Who do you want to draft this year and who do you think they will most likely actually draft?

 

[Local Fed]

Three notable free agents from Kansas City's reigning Super Bowl winning team signed elsewhere yesterday:

• offensive tackle, Orlando Brown Jr. to the Bengals for $64 million over four years
• wide receiver, JuJu Smith-Schuster to the Patriots for $33 million over three years
• safety, Juan Thornhill to the Browns for $21 million over three years

Speaking of guys who appeared in the Super Bowl last month, running back Miles Sanders is going from the Eagles to the Panthers on a four year, $25 million deal. Philly appears to be retaining cornerback Darius Slay, however, after it was looking like they were moving on from him just a few days ago.

wide receiver, JuJu Smith-Schuster to the Patriots for $33 million over three years

Can't wait for someone to explain to Belichick what TikTok is

 

[The Demon Pimp of Razgriz]

Not really a signing, but significant nonetheless: The Saints managed to rework Andrus Peat's deal, to save over $9 million against the salary cap.

 

[Absolutego]

The Seahawks re-signed Drew Lock to a 1 year, incentive-heavy deal, which almost definitely means we're not spending an early pick on a QB and may mean we don't draft one at all this year. If Lock manages to become a serviceable, long-term starter out of this I'm labeling this a worse swindling than the Hershel Walker trade, even though we haven't won a Super Bowl off of it yet.

Could have told you that you weren't spending a pick on a QB when you resigned Geno Smith lol

 

[The Demon Pimp of Razgriz]

The Saints have resigned punter Blake Gillikin. That's one less role the Saints have to worry about. Also today, Saints safety Marcus Maye had all charges against him dropped by Jefferson Parish in regards to charges of aggravated assault with a firearm. He still has a DUI charge that has yet to be resolved though

 

[Absolutego]

Nah, his deal is basically designed for a bridge QB to mentor a rookie project or continue Lock's rehab from the Broncos. Now that we signed Lock (and tbh are overpaying him a bit if he was strictly to be a backup), it looks a lot more like the FO is going with the latter over the former.

 

[The Demon Pimp of Razgriz]

The Saints are signing former Detroit Lions Offensive Tackle Storm Norton. Also, not sure how I missed this, but a few day ago, the Saints signed former Seattle safety Ugo Amadi.
