So much will depend on where those Bears picks land for the Raiders. The 2019 is probably in 10-15 range.That's a great deal for the Bears. Mack AND a 2nd round pick for 2 1sts/3rd/6th? Awesome deal.
I really think the Bears are going to surprise some people if Trubisky is competent.So much will depend on where those Bears picks land for the Raiders. The 2019 is probably in 10-15 range.
Except with Mack the issue isn't talent -- it's salary. In most cases, the Patriots will simply never pay "It's the richest deal in the NFL for X."I would have given 2nd round draft picks for the next 5 years, as a Pats fan, for Mack.
Improving but a brutal division. Starting with a built in 0-4 against Vikings/Pack makes it tough. At Detroit no picnic.I really think the Bears are going to surprise some people if Trubisky is competent.
Plus probably 20+ million a season. Too many eggs in one basket.I would have given 2nd round draft picks for the next 5 years, as a Pats fan, for Mack.
Given the stickbability of recent Pats 2nd rounders, I second this.I would have given 2nd round draft picks for the next 5 years, as a Pats fan, for Mack.
Oh goodie...Cowboys release Dan Bailey
49ers RB Jerick McKinnon suffers “serious” non contact injury in practice.
Another high end talent with a low end brain wasted
Source: As of the 4pm ET deadline, the Raiders were planning to release WR Martavis Bryant, who has a pending appeal of a drug suspension by the NFL. Raiders moves not yet officially announced.
I think the last part is the problem. Trubisky has a ways to go to be competent, and that's a huge problem in a QB driven league. Plus, as others have noted, that division is tough.I really think the Bears are going to surprise some people if Trubisky is competent.
Thanks, Roethlisberger.Given the stickbability of recent Pats 2nd rounders, I second this.
That's pretty much what he would get if he was a FA, no?Khalil Mack gets a 6 year $141 million contract from the Bears. $60 million signing bonus and $90 million guaranteed.
The fact that he got it with a number of years of team control left plus having to negotiate through a trade is an amazing job by his agent. Also took discipline to hold out that long to get what he wanted.That's pretty much what he would get if he was a FA, no?
And Alfred Morris.That McKinnon news is rough, I like him a lot. I guess Breida will have to carry the load for Jimmy G.
Belichickian — while everyone stunned, Gruden says they made an offer but not remotely close. We’re not sinking that much money into two playersOne of only two Raiders fans on here I think.
Expected this but still shocked. Gruden is betting his entire run at the helm on this. My personal theory is he wants to rebuild the defense to time out when Brady/Belichick are out of the league.
My biggest fear is the damage to the locker room.
Surprised at this; I thought for sure he'd be back.
RB Brandon Bolden is in Miami preparing to sign with the Dolphins, per a source.
The story says only they made an offer, doesn't detail the offer, and makes no claim that any such deal was "close"the Rams... Yes the RAMS came close to trading for Mack

The season hasn't even begun, and I'm already ready for it to be over.
Big blow: Falcons S Keanu Neal tore his ACL and is out for the season, per source.
100% agree. This man needs someone or something to guide him in the right direction and turn things about. Like, say, Tom Brady’s touch.I hope I'm wrong, but this feels like a situation where we likely need to look beyond Josh Gordon the football player.
Another team is going to claim him to help with attendanceGET
JOSH
GORDON
It's meant to be .
He makes basically nothing, can't imagine there isn't at least 1 team that plans to bring him in for a look. Cowboys as noted are 100% not being scared off by attitude or even possible drug issues.Dude isn't getting claimed.
It's a perfect storm. He's getting released by a joke organization with a coach most would fire before releasing Gordon with rumors of a hammy injury and tardiness issues. Pats will swoop in and everyone else will be like how tf did he end up there . Unless he's actually physically unfit to play.
