I'm gonna be honest. I can't imagine he's gonna have a choice. Will be Carolina or off to sell insurance.

He'll be back on the PS. If Will Grier went through unclaimed Matt probably does too.

No doubt dude is a special talent (when healthy) but the Colts want a 1st or a combo of picks equal to a 1st. Then you have to pay him. Giving up a CMC size haul of picks, to then turn around and pay him more money than CMC... Special player or not I'm out in this one.

The claims from both sides seem they'd be easy to prove in court. If they've tried to pay him half of everything and he refused so they established a trust account for his son theres receipts. Likewise if his life story was pimped out and he didn't receive a dime and he wasn't actually adopted thats also pretty verifiable. I hope whoever is in the right (and in the wrong too I suppose) gets what they deserve. I will say, I have to wonder what's happened with Oher since he left the NFL. He was never the same after that week 3 game and concussion against the Vikings as a player. Cant help but wonder if CTE could be a factor here. That picture he posted was super haunting.

Stefan LeFors had a couple really nice games too as a rookie before he got cut his second year. Had like 3 fumbled snaps in an ugly Steelers finale.

I assumed this was an obvious parody of the person in yesterday's practice thread who said the same thing "Overall this doesn't sound good for us" If not though and this post is serious? Ooooof.

Hahaha. It was one of those custom name jobs lol. Was a Christmas gift from my dad my freshman year of high school. Born and raised in Louisville and LeFors was my favorite player at the time. Was stoked when both he and Eric Shelton got drafted in 05.

Have Both a Matt Moore and a Stefan LeFors jersey.

Honestly? Miles Sanders probably. Much like 2015 there isn't going to be "a guy" at least not initially. Outside of Greg Olsen were guys like Ted Ginn Jr and Philly Brown more accomplished than DJ Chark? They certainly weren't more accomplished than a guy like Adam Thielen. While I don't think we have any single player who is even remotely close to the individual talent of Olsen (was a top 2 TE in the league at the time and I'd argue he wasn't 2) I think as a whole the playmakers are better than 2015. The offensive coaching staff SURE AS poo is. The great equalizer and the engine that made that offense go was Cam and his athleticism. While not even close to comparable athletically, if Bryce can be 80% of what we hope he is there is no reason he cant have a similar impact as a facilitator and distributer. I'm not saying he'll be MVP and 15-1 good as a rookie. But 10 wins? In this division? I stand by what I said.

I refuse to believe that teams led by Baker Mayfield/Todd Bowles Desmond Ritter/Arthur Smith and Derek Carr/Dennis Allen are going to win more games than us. If Bryce Young is even 80% of what we think he can be and the team avoids major injuries I think 10 wins is the floor. In this division with those above mentioned teams 10-7 might just run away with the division.

I think he is likely still a better WR than DeAndre Hopkins. But if we were going to go after one of them I'd prefer Hopkins. 1) Cheaper 2) Don't need to trade additional assets for him 3) Divaaaa Either one would be the best WR on this team since 89 but even then the team felt it was best for Cams development if 89 wasn't around. Ultimately I expect we pass on both for that reason but man... Diggs is starting to show some of those same tendiencies and toxic behaviors that AB did before his divorce from the Steelers and he completely lost his mind.

20-0

It's probably the Falcons. Vick floating for the TD, Gtfo my field, Two cheap shots on Cam, 15-1 season But I voted the Saints because God damn do I despise that team during the SP year. Gregg Williams comments about trying to hurt Smitty, fight in the end zone, running up the score to break records and those fans... the smug superiority they think one gifted Owl gave them after literally spending decades under trash bags over their their heads. I obviously want the division to lose every week but the Saints are the only team I am salty enough to actively "hate watch" and chear against.

He has no resume only physical tools, (which are admittedly impressive) He can't throw to his left, will be 24 years old at the start of the season (Darnold is 25 now with 5 years of NFL experience by comparison) and has failed to ever "put it all together" For every highlight throw he makes there are 2-3 bonehead lapse of judgment plays in every game. If he was 3 years younger with everything else the same I bet hed have been a lock in the top 7. All those tools and still failing to put it all together means teams are going to wonder how much you can actually develop. I've said from the start dude is Sam Darnold on film with his carelessness with the ball. Rest of the NFL seems to agree.

Basically gave up a 2nd (assuming he meets thats 65% threshold) and DJ Moore less for 1, 2 years tops, of Rodgers than we gave up for 5 years of rookie money Young/Stroud Wow.

"Narcissistic con artist" Jesus that was tough to go through - thanks for reminding me lol

The fact this test is scored out of 99 instead of 100 makes me irrationally angry and hate this and never want to hear about S2 ever again.

Drew Rosenhaus, Carter's agent, was the one who told teams he's not going because he has gotten those same assurances from several teams in the top 10 about where his floor is. Me personally I wouldn't touch the kid with a 10 foot pole but it wasn't like Carter did this on his own. What Drew told teams was, if you like him and want to meet him, trade into the top 10 and they're happy to go meet but hes not flying his guy out across the country to meet with teams picking in the 20s who have no shot of getting him. Says the players are humans and to be flown back and forth across the country with every team rehashing aspects of their life's its exhausting Same applies to Young. Those talks happen. If not from Houston then from us because if they didn't- why else would he not keep visiting teams like the Colts at 4. And if we gave him an assurance then the Texans probably did too.

I mean these type of conversations happen all the time. "If you're there you're our guy" It's why Jalen Carter won't talk to teams outside the top 10. If we take Bryce Young at 1 it doesn't matter what the Texans want to say. Young wasn't there. You think the Chargers and Dolphins didnt tell Burrow "Hey if you get to 5/6 you aren't falling any further" when Burrow went 1 and they took Tua and Herbert? The only time that would bite them in the ass would be if somehow we took neither Bryce nor CJ and the Texans had been hyping one up only to take the other. But even then "We never thought we'd have a chance at him blah blah blah" With all due respect just think you're over thinking and over analyzing this a bit.

Counterpoint. Texans say "We love you Bryce but we know Carolina does to. If you are there at 2 you're our guy and we will be sprinting to the podium tripping over ourselves with excitement. If you aren't because Carolina takes you we reconvene and go with what's best for our team and the future" If Houston moved out of pick 2 tomorrow I'd bet you anything Bryce would still meet with the team that moves to 2. As would CJ. And that's because ultimately this is a confirmation based on what he's heard his floor is 2 and he's met with both those teams.

I'm probably 70/30 he's our pick at this point but he's met with the Texans as well. This seems more like confirmation he isn't falling past 2 more than an indication he us assuredly going 1. 10 more days till we know for sure.

This.... I mean wtf league. What a terrible message to send lol

Andrew Vorhees in the 3rd on essentially a redshirt year would be my preference for the position and focus on TE/WR/Edge at 39. Regardless I'll trust the staff - they've done a better job than most of us could have imagined setting us up for BBPA.

Until they have a QB on the roster.... theres someone else to spend it on. poo roll it over into next season when there is a much MUCH better market of available WRs

1 year 18 mill LMFAOOOOOOOOOO Even if it's "up to" 18 mill there's no way that base is less than 10 which is about 1.5x what he should be getting based on his injury history and age.
