Definitely more than I thought he'd get. I thought he was gonna get something like Decker ($1.5M guaranteed + 600K in incentives). Instead he gets $4.5M guaranteed with $1M in incentives.

If I'm an agent, the first thing I tell my clients is to say they're interested in every team. Even if you're not interested in going somewhere and have no intention of signing there, more suitors is always better. 5 teams vying for your services is more likely to result in a bidding war and a...

Speaking of romanticizing... another area fans really have their blinders on is when they forget that no matter what, Trey Flowers is playing football for a living. Worst-case scenario, Trey Flowers plays for the worst team in the league and misses the playoffs. At the end of the day, he's...

The AAF actually uses this now in lieu of onside kicks. They do have restrictions on it. Basically the team has to either: 1) be down by 17 or more points, or, 2) be trailing with under 5 minutes left in the game If they switch to something like this, I just want it to be sufficiently...

It would definitely be a big advantage. Imagine if Kansas City got the ball back after we scored. Well, now they know they have to score a touchdown. They're going for it on 4th down every time, guaranteed. Patriots didn't have that luxury. The Pats wouldn't have tried to convert, say, a 4th...

I agree, a lot of good points here. Normally I wouldn't think it's possible -- I'm sure it's tough jumping back into the rigors of the NFL after enjoying the simple life of retirement -- but if he and Michael dreamed of playing together, maybe he will be genuinely inspired to make it happen.

Hold up a second. Why are you comparing Bennett's numbers straight-up to other TE? 700 yards and 7 TD is pretty good production for a guy that wasn't even a TE1 the entire year; Gronk was banged up in 2016, but he still had 540 yards and 3 TD. If Gronk didn't play that whole year you have to...

Agree. It might take some tweaking.

I agree with all of this.

Maybe, but I don't think he'll get that much. In 2017, Eric Decker 54 catches, 563 yards, and 1 TD. Last year, Amendola had 59 catches, 570 yards, and 1 TD. Decker signed with NE for $1.9M with up to $600k in incentives. Now, granted, Amendola's 2017 numbers weren't great (although 348...

Well, considering Roethlisberger has been in the league since 2004 and has had many successful years before Antonio Brown became a starter in 2011, I'd say those stats are rubbish.

You can't take what a player says in a pep rally-ish environment as indicative as what his plans are. What do you expect him to say? "Hey, #6 was great, but I'm gonna leave for more money with the Jets! Peace!" It's lip service, he's gonna cater to the crowd. I hope he stays but imo his quote...

Marty Bennett, Danny Amendola.... ... we're getting the band back together.

Just remember that comp picks are not guaranteed -- they are essentially canceled out by similar deals to incoming free agents. If the Pats want to be a player on someone like Golden Tate, it might jeopardize comp picks.

It's inconceivable to me that his value is only a third. Has this "renowned NFL GM" been in a coma the last five years? The Saints just gave up a third for a Teddy Bridgewater that hadn't played a meaningful snap in two years; Teddy was only on a one-year deal too, whereas Rosen is on a very...

First of all, I'm not trying to downplay this or discredit the numbers because Brady didn't fare well. Anyway, the more detailed breakdowns are kind of ridiculous. "Accuracy on throws of 26-30 yards. Wentz was amazing here." A sample size of six throws. SIX! Hard to take the numbers...

The AAF already seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. Like, Christian Hackenberg? Seriously? And now the XFL is going to add another what... 8 teams? Who's going to start for those teams?

Tate is a really fun player to watch. The guy is relentless after the catch. He would do awesome here. I always liked watching him return punts in Seattle.

While this is kind of funny, this doesn't really do Flacco's incompetence justice. In 2009, Flacco put up an 88.9 passer rating on 7.2 Y/A. In 2009, the league average was 83.0 and 7.0. In 2018, Flacco put up an 84.2 passer rating on 6.5 Y/A. Last year, the league average was 92.9 and 7.4...
