Thank you. I thought it was pretty close. Despite the AFC being really stacked with the young guns, the NFC was not far behind. And of course Tampa was the best all around team and showed it by thumping the Chiefs on both sides.

Saints fans have been lamenting this ever since the Bucs beat the Saints and Brees through 3 horrible picks while Brady calmly engineered the win vs a team that had swept them in the regular season. It has been pure gold reading their fan site.

Going to be a sad day when he finally retires. Living legend. Enjoy him while you can. He probably only has 1-3 years left. I added 3 because you never know with this guy.

Either way he is much closer to the end than ever, and hopefully he can transition well. Most professional athletes don't. They can't handle not being at the center of action, of attention.

They quickly went from ''Brees is the Messiah'' to ''We say you're THE Messiah, Tom, and we should know, we have followed a few!''

Fleshing that out a bit:

“I want to be here. I love the guys on the team,” Godwin said. “I think we got something special, but, at the same time, you got to consider all the possibilities out there and consider doing what’s best for you and your family. . . . The goal obviously is to get paid, right? But, at the same time, I’m not stupid. I’m not going to put myself in a situation where I’m going to be miserable for some years to come just for a couple extra dollars. I think my happiness is paramount in all of this and part of that happiness is winning.”

Good news is he wants to stay. I doubt he gets pissed if he gets tagged. He'll see how it goes with Shaq who was tagged last year and will get an extension this yr. Either way, making $15-16M at 25 for a year is nothing to be too upset over. I get the injury concern but it's football after all.

Apparently, the Bucs have only used the tag like 5 or 6 times in their entire history, so they clearly value him.

Yet another player with a hungry family like Ty Law's that needs feeding!

The tag might just be to buy time to work on the extension. I doubt they let him sit on it given he is 24 and they want him long-term.

I think increased career earnings with a great QB versus a **** QB is a real factor, no? If you're still young like Godwin, you'll probably be a FA again before age 30.

I was thinking the same thing. We let Deion Branch go over a million dollars and did not even bother offering Givens a contract. Maddening.

I need an Emoticon rating for "Traumatized"

Some folks in Tampa are debating if Chris Godwin is worth getting tagged or getting money as a WR#1 when he's not.

Idk but this video is interesting.

Seems like they might be signing a $12M receiver for $15M. Not really a devastating overpay.

Just hope they don’t sign a $10M pass rusher for $20M.

Spotrac has Shaq with an estimated market value of $19.7M apy. Too high.

PFF predicts a 4 yr contract with Bucs of $68M ($17M apy). That's less than Trey Flowers' $18M apy

Trey Flowers is worth like $8M though. Pass rushers are a scam.

Idk, those boys had Mahomes running for his life. We've seen what happens when you can't pressure a QB. Freaking back-up Foles picked us apart in the SB. Embarrassing.
