Early NFL offseason chatter

[*FreeFua*]

I assume Deion ends up in Dallas now

Shadeur will probably force his way to Dallas without them having to trade to which will take another position player off board for us 

Dak has a full no trade clause 

[Captain Morgan]

lololol   Deon and Jerrah have already talked

In what world are the Raiders the job that Ben Johnson has been waiting on?

They have no QB and they're in a division with Mahomes/Reid, Herbert/Harbaugh, Nix/Payton, QB/HC combos.  

There really isn't anything attractive about that job right now

Pats are being accused of thumbing their nose at the Rooney Rule...

Shocking, I know

The problem with it is if Glenn, a legitimate HC candidate, was praised for turning them down to interview because he knew they were just doing it for the rule because they wanted Vrabel.  

Then what are they supposed to do except bring in guys who know they aren't getting the job just to satisfy the rule so they can make their hire?

Vrabel is as legitimate a HC candidate imaginable, he shouldn't have been fired by the Titans in the first place, and there is a clear connection between the two of them.  I get the point of the rule, but at the same time, there are situations like this where the rule was going to make any interview a non legitimate one because everyone knew who they were hiring.

Dak to the Jets for Rodgers and #8.

#8 and #12 (and whatever else they'd need to include) to the Browns to take Shedeur.

Rodgers gets 1 season to make a SB run while he mentors Shedeur for the season and then Shedeur takes over in year 2.

Honestly, it wouldn't be the worst scenario since I don't think Shedeur is going to be a great QB anyways, might as well give him a redshirt year learning from one of the best to ever do it.

And if I'm the Jets, I'm definitely doing that as I think Dak is still a good QB who likely can handle the NY media and will allow you to contend for the playoffs right away.  They're not finding a better QB solution this offseason than Dak would be.

IIRC last year, Johnson was done deal to Washington for a couple of weeks before he backed out.   Might like to be courted.

Sure, but they had the #2 pick and aren't in that division with those QB's and HC's

I agree, that's what I'm saying.  Don't think he's actually serious, but likes to be chased.  Last year it was Wash, this year will be Vegas.  (Assuming that x post has any validity.).

Jets - Aron Glenn 

Raiders - Ben Johnson 

Saints - Mike McCarthy 

Cowboys - Deion Sanders 

Bears - Todd Monken

I gave up trying to embed this one. The board is extra crappy today

Maybe I get pooed on but while I understand the point of the rooney rule I think it's stupid and patronizing if you've already made up your mind who you're going to hire to interview people you have no interest in hiring just to check a box. If you're doing a coaching search it 100% makes sense.  But yes please take draft picks from them or something because fug the pats

I think he'll still strongly consider the Jags because they have a QB for him to work with (maybe the Bears too, but I just don't think he wants to deal with that franchise and be in such a tough division).

If he doesn't go down to Jacksonville though, I think he waits until next offseason to try and go to wherever gets the #1 pick so he can draft Arch

I heard or read that he was eyeballing the Jags job at one time.  We shall see--after that owner threw the GM under the bus on national TV, I might reconsider---It was my opinion at the time that Jerry Richardson's "Pie chart" presser days before underclassmen had to declare for the draft was the reason Andrew Luck went back to school--same effect.  If you recall, he made no damn sense, he seemed to hit on Morgan Fogherty and he trashed Darin Gantt.
