Owners are probably happy it's the first and last fully guaranteed contract.

People really think Mahomes is the best qb in the league lmao. Amazing what happens when refs aren't bailing you out every week.

Most of his WR and RBs are on rookie contracts or vet minimums.

Kelce making big salary but he’s not the player he used to be.

We will see if Rice becomes that guy.

Otherwise 3 Superbowls before age of 30 and he still outruns most DL.

Do they? I think the jig is up -most people know he isn’t and hasn’t been the best for a while. Although he’s still one of the leading causes of clenched bumholes in the playoffs

Yeah everyone gave Mahomes a free pass last year and he earned that. He was GOAT level.

But now his pass has expired.

Seems like a steal for the Jags imo. Campbell was excellent for us 3 years ago, but he's always getting nagging injuries and even when healthy he's clearly not the same

Even if we get equivalent or worse play from Newsome, we can just move on from him after this year. Plus go from end of the 7th round to top of the 6th.
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles
Alex Sarr/Clint Capela

Bench: Malcolm Brogdon/Hansen Yang/Rocco Zikarsky/RJ Luis Jr.

Emeka Egbuka rookie of the year?

3rd WR taken. Looks like the Bucs got the best one of the bunch.

Yeah, he's going to win it fairly easily.

The Hawks had mostly backup DB's playing. Three starters didn't play. Their depth was really being tested, especially in that 2nd half. But it didn't really matter who was playing. They couldn't stop him. He was making play after play.

Him & JSN look like the two best receivers to come from Ohio State.

Egbuka has way better counting stats if that's what you're looking at. TMAC has way more potential

Haven't watched a single Panthers game, will get the chance vs the Cowboys this week though. Have seen the Bucs a few times now though and Egbuka looks very legit to me, kid is super athletic. TMac, who is much taller than Egbuka, may simply be struggling due to being on the Panthers. But I mean, can't really award him anything with a *But Panthers asterisk.

I just looked up their stats. Egbuka wins this pretty easily. Tet is having a great rookie season but Egbuka is having an even better season.

Well a big difference in the QBs throwing to the WRs.

Bucs offense overall has been better, because they have other weapons, though Evans and Goodwin have been out.

But Egbuka will benefit being matched against nickel or dime corners while Evans and Goodwin draw the best CBs in some defenses.

Just about any quarterback will find a great route running receiver

He can't make a curl or dig route with Al Saunders' playbook
