ATL Offseason - Boyle to the Lions

It's been pointed out that the Bengals are beneficiaries of these trades. With QB's now likely going 1-4, they'll have their pick of non QB's.

They're probably going OL(Slater or Sewell?), to protect Burrow. Or, with as many holes as they have, they trade back too?

Sewell would make a ton of sense, but I think trading back with one of the QBs there would have been their best move.

The Mac Jones hype train is picking up steam. If Cincy traded back there’s real path towards the first five picks being QBs. Crazy

Crazy that the Fins traded Tunsil/Stills/4th/6th for two firsts and a second.

Now they traded one of those firsts for three firsts and a third.

Basically, it ended up Tunsil, Stills, 4th, 6th for four firsts, a second, and a third. Of course then they used some of that draft capital to move back up in the draft......but if they end up hitting on even half of those picks.

I think they will miss out on Sewell this year though.....and that could end up being a loss.

Random thought:

It is funny when teams trade multiple firsts and ask for a random late-round pick back. I get it, but I wonder how many of those picks actually end up being difference makers.

The players union, even fans who think this is BS don't really have much say.

Unless there's so fierce boycott but we know, everyone will still tune in on Sunday... And Monday.. And Thursday.

I stopped watching everything but Packer games and it was a great decision. Amazing how garbage of a product the NFL has become under Clown Commissioner's watch, and this will only further it. Are they not even expanding rosters?

17 games is such a weird number. 16 is perfect. Dumb.

The reason they resist expanding rosters is they don't want extra players accurring service time years and getting full pensions.

So the Watson story still continues to get more strange. His people have now pointed to 18 other massage therapists that had no issue with him as a defense and all I can think is "wtf are you doing with having 39 different massage therapists if nothing **** up is going on?"

Some proposed rule changes that may or may not be voted on this month:

• The elimination of overtime in preseason games.

• Allowing a maximum of nine players in the "setup zone," the 15-yard area behind their restraining line when set up for a kickoff return. This proposal could make it a bit easier to recover onside kicks, a challenge that has grown harder since the NFL's 2018 revamp of the kickoff. The Philadelphia Eagles proposed a more radical change, giving teams an option for one play to gain 15 yards to keep possession after a score, but similar suggestions have failed to receive enough votes in previous years.

• A significant restriction on blocking below the waist beyond 5 yards of the line of scrimmage and 2 yards outside of the offensive tackle.

• Prohibiting playoff teams from signing players who had been cut by teams whose seasons were complete.

• Requiring teams to report tryouts and visits to the league office throughout the year.

Among the team proposals, which are less likely to get consideration without competition committee endorsements, are:

• A proposal from the Baltimore Ravens to add an eighth official that would have access to television replay and be positioned somewhere other than the field.

• A revamp of overtime from the Ravens and Eagles that would require the winner of the coin toss to choose one of two options: Where to spot the ball or which team will get the first possession.

• Another overtime option from the Ravens and Eagles that would create true sudden death.

• A rule change from the Los Angeles Rams to impose a loss of down if a "second forward pass from behind the line and for a pass thrown after the ball returns behind the line." The Rams had a play like that work against them last season when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Tom Brady caught his own pass then threw it again.

• A request from the Kansas City Chiefs to relax rules for uniform numbers.

I’m likely in the minority but I’m glad the onside kick is dead. You want the ball back after a score? Then force a punt.

Are the 39 girls from the same city? Take into account that they travel a lot. I had 3 massage therapists in less than 1 year living in one city.
