‘Massive’ extension? Rapsheet’s arms must be tired from carrying such a huge bucket of water.
Saquon got 11 million. Josh Jacobs got 10 million. Both for a massive 1 year.
So yeah, a 3 year deal at 14 million is massive. That is a fair use of the adjective. You can complain that RBs aren't paid enough, that's a different topic. But on this Taylor Deal, 14 million per for 3 is massive. McCaffrey is making 16 million a year, as a comparison.
Have to imagine any WR would be thrilled to leave the dumpster fire (and cold) in Chicago for the track meet in Miami.
He basically has the 3rd largest RB contract in the league after McCaffrey and Kamara. I think it's safe to say this is a bigger extension than anyone saw coming, so calling it a massive extension is a fair characterization. They don't have to be record setting like every single new QB contract to still be a really big deal.
Miami has entered “if it doesn’t work here, it work anywhere” territory on the offense.
They have a head coach in the Shanahan/McVay vein of leading the league in offensive innovation, and an offense, rushing attack, and QB leading the league in nearly every metric.
Claypool is in a contract year and if he puts forth a Bears-Ian effort in this offense, he could be looking at a future on the practice squad of some other team.
I’m fine with either outcome, to be honest. Miami gave up nearly nothing to get him, and he’s our WR4 right now. It would be cool if he pans out, but Miami’s offense was completely fine without him and they’re taking a flyer on him because his athletic profile is still pretty insane.
I wrote about the Taylor deal ... based on OTC's projected RB franchise tag for 2024, the guarantees are a tick less than franchising him twice. This looks pretty reasonable to me. https://www.theinchesweneed.com/article/thoughts-jonathan-taylor-extension
Richardson has played 4 games and has been injured in 4 games. That is seemingly a problem. But Gardner is definitely one of the best backups in the league.
Didn't know where else to put this, and I'm not conversant with twitter, but apparently Taylor Swift's fans are taking up the cause for grass fields, after Kelce strained something on turf. I understand there's even a #swiftiesgainstturf hashtag or something.
I'm pretty entertained. Goodell v. the Swift Army is the unstoppable force/unmovable object situation. Rog and the shield roll all foes, but if the swifties get motivated, he may not be a match.

Maybe they can do something about the catch rule while they're at it. We need the Chiefs to lose the NFCCG on a last second overturned Kelce TD catch.
Man, the league really likes to help the Chiefs, moving them to the weaker conference...lol
Steve Smith eviscerated Jeudy last night on the pregame show. He called Jeudy a third-tier receiver, a JAG, and said he wouldn’t recommend that teams trade for him.
I assume Bill was on the horn immediately.
While rolling the dice on theoretically talented and young-ish players, I really hope we aren't in the business of sending draft picks out the door this year.
I was a big proponent of trading for Jeudy this off-season and while I think there's a chance he puts his head on straight and becomes a quality receiver still, I think he's been awful this year. Just awful. Uninterested, slow, not making any plays. Don't think he'd help this team a lick.
Jeudy is another Agahlor. The numbers are never close to what the skills indicate they should be. Jeudy has never had a 1,000 yard season. He's never had a 70 reception season. He's obviously not getting there this year, either.
21 receivers had 1000 yard seasons just last year. It's not a crazy high bar.
Broncos really screwed up not dealing him this offseason when he had more value. I was interested but not anymore. Someone else like KC should take a shot on him. Bad fit for a team like the Pats where he’d be expected to be a #1.
Not that Minnesota would have a real interest in doing this, but what would be a reasonable price for the Pats to pay for Jefferson? Two firsts? More than that?
In fairness, his QBs have been Russell Wilson, Teddy Bridgewater, Drew Lock, Jeff Driskel, and something called Brett Rypien.
That seems pretty high to me, especially given that the Patriot's 2024 pick should be pretty good. Two firsts for 1.5 years of control seems pretty high, considering that he's only really bargain this year. Next year, he comes with a high cap hit.
Obviously, there would be plenty of teams willing to sign him for a 1/20 contract next year, but that's still a lot. I think for 2 firsts, you need to be talking about a QB, multiple years of control, or a pretty favorable cap hit.
Edit -- though I guess after this year, he's effectively a 2/41 or so player since you can franchise. So, yeah, maybe that makes a difference. Still, that's pretty high.

Agree, Tyreek Hill was traded for a 2022 first-round pick (No. 29), second-round pick (No. 50) and fourth-round pick, plus fourth- and sixth-round picks in the 2023 draft
I'm not a huge Jeudy fan, but Steve Smith is a clown. His whole tirade was because he was an asshole about Jeudy earlier and Jeudy was annoyed, then when Smith tried to be buddy buddy with him off camera Jeudy told him to piss off.
Stefanski said after last week's game that Watson was medically cleared but sat himself out, and that it "wasn't a pain tolerance thing," but rather that he didn't feel like "he had his full faculties," and now he's going to miss several more weeks? Something doesn't smell right.

Watson has a guaranteed contract. Why would he bother to play? Especially against SF?
You sign a piece of shit human and this is what you get. Weird, piece of shit behavior.

"Seven-time Pro-Bowl WR Julio Jones is signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, per sources. Jones will be reunited with his former Titans’ teammate, AJ Brown, who pushed for Tennessee to trade for him from Atlanta. Along with playing with Brown in Tennessee, Jones also previously played with Eagles’ WR Olamide Zaccheaus when the two were together from 2019-2020 in Atlanta."
Da fuq? Julio Jones?

Getting your buddy a chance at a ring as a favor?
He looked very washed in TEN, though PHI doesn't have great WR depth, so sure.. big slot?
He looked washed last year in Tampa, too, notwithstanding the initial fanfare of the Bucs adding another ‘weapon.’
It isn’t like the Philly depth chart goes 5-6 deep at recover, though, so can’t hurt to see if he’s got anything left.
Let me tell you what I do know; every day, I check this thread. And I read the last few posts, have a few drinks, and a few laughs, and it's great. You know what the best part of my day is? It's for about ten seconds when I pull up SoSH and I click the link to this thread. 'Cause I think maybe I'll get to the latest post and Mac will have been traded for a 3rd rounder or something. No goodbye, no "see ya later", no nothin'. He just left. I don't know much, but I know that.
Now I didn’t say that. Allegedly your situation, for you, would be concurrently improved if I had AJ Brown in my huddle right now.
I thought to myself that this idiot thought he said receiver, then giggled, then realized that I was the idiot.
