Maybe to keep the Raiders from moving up for McCarthy?

I’m thinking it will be McCarthy straight up at 3. Harbaugh was exaggerating but only a little. 72% completion percentage on a team that basically only threw the ball when they had to throw it. Exceptional run blocking Oline but iffy in pass protection. Check out McCarthy’s 3rd down conversion...

This thread reminds me just how hard it will for whatever QB they draft to establish themselves in the eyes of this fanbase. We’re all effing QB experts. Just ask any of us. New QB better get off to an incredible start like Brady, or he’s doomed to be picked apart by us experts who have no...

Annoying, isn’t it? This place has been overrun by pathologically negative people or Bill idolizers who will never give the new regime a fair chance.

Stop implying Machiavellian machinations. What’s he” trying” to do? Get his Dad committed? There’s no Board of Directors or electorate to play to here. Either Bob Kraft is still the boss, or he’s given that authority to his oldest son which is fully his prerogative.

The draft only exists because it’s collectively bargained. The NFLPA would never agree to having it before free agency as that would only devalue the veteran free agents. It’s not that there’s too much time until the draft. There are just too many opinions, too many experts (amateur and...

It would have been far more illustrative if you had added another column showing what the salary cap was for each given year. What was spent in comparison to the cap is far more telling than their rank amongst the other “31”.

It’s unlikely they try to move Strange to T given he’s reportedly missing most of the off-season because of his knee injury.

The NFL owners will be considering significant changes to kickoff rules at next week’s meeting. The last proposal I heard was an adoption of the XFL rule with some twists that penalize touchbacks (35 yard line) increasing actual returns while reducing the high speed impacts of the current rules...

The reporting at the time it was revealed Wolf as the chief personnel guy was that Wolf would have control over the 53 man roster. So, it’s not Mayo’s call presumably. Either way Board’s release seems to indicate fewer STers only is the plan. We’ll know for sure if Cody Davis isn’t resigned.

https://www.nbcsportsboston.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/mac-jones-trade-cautionary-tale-new-patriots-regime/594114/ Very good article by Phil Perry. I might add I sure hope a big chunk of this fan base is fairer and more patient with the next guy if the trajectory of his career has some downs...

The Patriots need a respected, competent placeholder at QB if they expect to be attractive to offensive free agents regardless of money. Brissett would be fine in that role. Someone has to hold down the fort until the next QB is drafted and ready to play well. This offense needs to be stabilized...

One of Eisen’s 5 is Daniels is QB2 in this draft.

Based on what’s on the books now, they’re going to need to pay out roughly $600 million over the 24-26 seasons just to meet the 90% spending floor, they’re not going to do that building through the draft and resigning their current good players. They’re going to spend because they have to. I...

They spent $150 million something in 2021 (signing bonuses and future salary guarantees) coming off a year in which they lost all of their stadium revenue because of Covid.

Was listening to Florio and Simms on the way to work Friday morning. Rodney Harrison was on set with them. The conversation turned to the QBs in this draft class. Neither Simms or Rodney were impressed with Drake Maye at all. Both think Daniels will be the 2nd QB taken and Maye is not worthy of...

Flacco is a statue. Brissett has some mobility and is big enough that blitzing DBs have a hard time bringing him down alone. The Pats OLine is very likely going to be a work in process early next season. Just upgrading personnel is not enough. OLines need to work with cohesion and that takes...

JJ McCarthy was not on my radar at all until I was watching Michigan’s last home game. It was Senior Day and one of Michigan ‘s senior offensive lineman (RG I think) went down with a leg injury. The serious type that stopped play for several minutes. While they were stabilizing the leg, the...

First thing is I could care less about my “credibility “. I’m just a fan who uses this forum to say what’s on my mind from time to time. You’re the one who seems to have a problem when people disagree with you. Droning on irrationality about Robin Grazer being a lawyer honor bound to rat on...

They’ll probably release Jackson tomorrow. But, if he is of sound mind and body and wants to continue his career, you’d think the best place for him to do that would be here. A restructure with a minimal salary and NLTBE incentives might be an option to an outright release.
