I was told by the Huddle Tepper would not get outbid.  Looks like he tapped out before the real bidding even began, lol!

Walton's net worth is over $59 billion, Tepper->has an estimated net worth of $16.7 billion

Tepper would get outbid

And I'm fine with that...

I am too, but "he's a billionaire" straw man was brought up time and time again.  Denver has TWO billionaire families in their ownership group.  Dave wanted no part of that bidding war.

I didn't hate the idea of Harbaugh here, but I didn't love it either.  I think the dude has a few screws loose, but he knows how to coach a football team. Ultimately he would have been a short-term solution, IMO.  I couldn't see him here more than a few year regardless of performance.

This is just silly. Their net worth isn't going to affect one out bidding the other as no matter how stupid the contract, 20 million a year or hell 50 million a year, doesn't really amount to poo irt either owners net worth. The only bidding war that exists is in reality just about how dumb the owners want to be, not whether it will hurt their pockets.

That said, thank god we're not getting Harbaugh. I know lots of people have raging boners for that tool but I'm not one of them.

The Vikings passed on him last year and seem to be doing well. I do wonder what he's asking for in the interviews that's scaring away teams. 

The Vikings aren't what they appear (or perhaps they are). I almost guarantee that if Harbaugh was coaching them, they would be serious contenders as opposed to pretenders. Watch how it all plays out with them.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
