I know a Viking fan that still hates the Saints for the Bountygate Favre title game, even though you would've thought that might have been put to rest with their Miracle.

I hope those teams beat the crap out of each other.

With all the injuries for both teams they should let the eagles and Seahawks play some 8 man football.

I know that was meant as a joke, but run the ProBowl as 8man. That would actually be more fun to watch... :lol:

Sounds like the Bucs are going to move on from Winston. I would definitely bring him in as a backup and hope it clicks for him in the next year or two.

Oh he's getting a decent contract and a starting job somewhere next year.

Mariota is a guy who won't and would be an interesting backup on a cheap deal.

Most of you have likely seen AB's comments following his tryout in New Orleans: Basically, he's accusing the Saints of running it as a publicity stunt. Wasn't he the guy that brought in the film crew?

This is how not to get yourself a new contract....

McGinn is kind of a crochety prick so always funny to see him wrong. I'm also not feeling sorry for the packer FO guys who seemed bitter about the Gute hire and definitely leaked things after they left.

Dorsey got a bit of a raw deal though as he's improved the team in his two years and probably deserved one more season. But he did get a couple things wrong, the kitchens hire being number one with not solidifying that oline as a close second. Good skill position guys don't matter if you can't block. Plus something that keeps getting him is his total disregard to character, it's fine if you win but when you don't and have a bunch of turds in the locker room it tends to be a problem when things go bad.

Just saw this, interesting.

I'd imagine every one of those guys are supremely self-confident/arrogant at heart, in order to do their jobs well. Still, there's got to be a breakpoint where arrogant confidence shifts right on into hubris. I'd also guess that the really successful ones have figured out there's always more to learn and often that comes from others who know more than you. You don't always have to be the smartest guy in every room.

I still think they’re dumb to move on from Dorsey

Dorsey should have been on the hot seat for his terrible Kitchens hire.

The Cowboys are moving on without Garrett.

This. He sealed his fate with the Kitchens hire which was an extremely questionable move in an offseason where you had a numerous amount of more qualified guys. Just a complete whiff.

I'm not hearing Wolf's name as a possible GM in Cleveland. I wonder if he moves on if passed over again.

I'm also hearing McCarthy will try to pilfer some Packers front office people if/when he gets another gig. I guess that depends on who the GM is wherever he ends up.

There is always sorcery I don't understand in NFL cap work but I'm wondering where they'll have cash to get anything done with that roster. They're basically locked into Trubisky.

Their window management is weird. Not to say that the defense will be old as dirt, but after Trubisky in 2020 assuming they can't work magic or draft a great rookie, they are gonna have to either make their Kirk Cousins move and overpay a QB or strike gold in the draft...and when they do that, their key players are going to be entering more of the back end of their primes.

Bears are going to have to cut a few guys this summer to clean up the cap.

In general the cap hasn't really been a problem for any teams the past 7 years because since 2013 it's basically risen about 10 mil per year every year. Prior to that it was 109 in 2007 and only 123 in 2013 so that 6 year stretch of a relatively flat cap was the era teams really felt the squeeze.

This was something I think TT miscalculated. He was always very concervative with the cap and this strategy was right for the flat years but not for the steady rise years. They should have took some more chances and spent.

Overall with how nfl contracts are structured you're really never more that 1 painful year away from cleaning up a bad cap situation.
