Lions have Stafford no way they go after Luck they would be sick with Green and Johnson

Yeah, but I can see either:

A) Hurney trades up with Detroit, thus giving up the farm and screwing us.

B) Buffalo trades up with Detroit, thus giving up the farm and we're still screwed.

or

C) Detroit trades it away to someone dumb enough to pull a Ditka, thus screwing all of us.

Yeah, we're better off if we just get the #1 overall. Now, if Hurney makes this farm trade down, then I'll be pissed cause you don't pass on this guy, especially with Pickles "aka Captain Checkdown" back there behind center. :(

Is it just me or are the announcers slobbering all over the Falcons?

I don't blame them. The Falcons have the best record in the NFL and Carolina the worse. Carolina hasn't earned any talk time at this point in the season.

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
