2022 NFL Thread

think it actually might be worse. I think they gave him $250 mil and $180 mil guaranteed. That’s going to put them in salary cap hell for YEARS plus they had to give up bunch of picks and Fant is a pretty decent player.

Seahawks are on the fast track to be really good again and Broncos are f’ed for years.

Guess who else is f'ed for years,I'll see that 180 million guaranteed and make it 230mil guaranteed plus 3-1st rd pix plus a 3rd,4th and a 5th.This nightmare will never end

The Broncos have to fire Elway right? This Russell Wilson trade and signing has completely torpedoed the franchise. 

The Denver Broncos have asked the Browns to hold their beers.

They gave all that up for a 33 yr old who relies on his legs a lot.
I think the exceptions like Brady, Brees, and Rodgers - the guys playing until they're 40, skewed what normalcy is for a lot of GMs (or maybe just Denver's).  
But first, 
A) you don't break the bank AND forfeit your future for any player, especially....
B) ....one that is 33 years old

Ford family should hire the New Mexico State head coach and draft every player on the team. Bout time they hire a coach and get players that now how to win in the postseason.

There are two families that should sell their teams. 

Ford and McCaskey.

I agree, right now the deal stinks. But if DeShaun Watson can regain form it's actually not a terrible deal. He is only 26 or 27. And he's more of a true pocket passer, he's not as reliant on his athleticism/legs as Wilson was/is. Wilson is 34. He's going to be 35 by the start of next NFL season. His best years are way in the review mirror and behind him. 

I think I'd give Watson next year before saying that deal was bad. He's been away from the game for awhile. It was always going to take time to get back up to speed. I think these last few games of this season plus an off-season should get him up to speed and ready for 2023. If he doesn't bounce back in 2023, then you start to worry.

Ford,McCaskey & the Haslams

FIFY,I'm hopin' Mdot but the 3 number 1s were a killer

His birthday is in November.  Do you know something about the 2023 NFL season that the rest of us don't?

Watching Tua and Mac Jones this weekend, Nick Saban deserves a few more COTY trophies

Tua is actually pretty good imo. Dude's just made out of glass and has been concussed more than anyone I've ever seen in recent memory, and for whatever reason guy keeps playing through concussions. He should just quit football right now while he still has all his faculties, because more concussions are just going to eventually deter his quality of life. 

But yeah, Mac Jones fn sucks. But I think everyone already kind of knew that going in. Did anyone actually think he was good enough to play at a high level in the NFL?

Add in Jerry Jones, please and thank you.

mac was one of the better rookies last season. had a bit of soph slump, though. but the game this weekend ain't on him. he led 3 late 3rd/4th qtr td drives, 2 over 75 yards,and a 4th drive (to take lead and likely win) was fumbled 1st down on the 5. he's unlikely to ever be an mvp candidate, but he can certainly be a solid starter for a good team.

tua has been good when healthy. that's been a big "when", though. dude needs to seriously consider his career this off-season.

JJ Watt is retiring from the NFL. 1st ballot HOF'er. Kinda wish he'd have gotten to a Super Bowl or two, but without doubt one of the greatest players of his era.
