ATL - Cousins to Minny

[MVP2110]

Will this affect the comp pick?

Read on Twitter

It was already a borderline 3rd, I'd say this almost assuredly knocks it to a 4th

[ReasonablySober]

This Eagles/Bengals story is kind of amazing. Cincinatti had agreed to send a 6th to Philly for their pass rusher, but backed out when it came to light that doing so would wipe out the 3rd rounder they're set to receive for Trey Hendrickson leaving.

It's understandable, though you can fault Cincy's GM for not knowing that earlier in the trade process.

But the bigger question is why should a mid-season trade affect comp picks at all??

Crazy that Cincinnati found out because of someone on Twitter reporting it. So if you trade for a guy who was just signed in the past off-season that counts against your comp picks. Not a fan of it, but does that mean Minnesota trading for Kirk will also have any comp picks either taken away or lowered?

They said it's to avoid a loophole with Sign-And-Trade.

I feel bad for a lot of these athletes that go broke for a myriad of reasons (substance abuse issues, friends and family leeching off them, defrauded by agents or sketchy investments). Awfully hard for me to feel bad for a dude as stupid and as much of a danger to others as Rashee Rice.

[Mags FTW]

I've had so many podcast clips of athletes talking about the dumb stuff they spent money on whipping through my feeds that I have zero sympathy for their financial woes. The NFLPA has had a financial advisory program for over a decade now.

I couldn't care less what happens to any of these idiots financially unless they are targeted by sophisticated scammers.

If they make it to the NFCCG with Cousins it will be moot, but JJ looking decent is just so Vikings.

Skattebo waits until the whistle blows to push

[ReasonablySober]

You need one yard. How do you not just run Daniels?

[MickeyDavis]

Terrible DPI call

[ReasonablySober]

That was really funny.

[ReasonablySober]

But a JJ comeback would be infinitely more funny. Go Giants.

Good lord, Al Michaels is so bad at this point.
