how am I just finding this out now...Joe Montana apparently wanted to come to the Detroit Lions to play with Barry Sanders and the Lions ownership/GM said no thanks. Source: Barry Sanders.

I'm assuming when he went to Kansas City for 1993 and 1994?

Montana was 4th in the league in 1993 in ypa.  But the Lions went and signed the guy who finished 3rd that season for 1994

Mitchell's first year in Detroit was pretty bad. He had that one great season in Detroit his second year and it was all down hill from there.

tons of movement these last few days.

Russell Wilson signs with the Steelers and the Broncos will be paying him $38 million to play for another team. Falcons sign Kirk Cousins to a $180 million, 4-year deal. Don't think anyone has played the system better than Kirk maybe ever in the sport.

Lot of RB movement....De'Andre Swift to the Bears. Saquon Barkley to the Eagles. Josh Jacobs to the Packers with Aaron Jones being released. Tony Pollard to the Titans with Derrick Henry likely to be released.

Derrick Henry signing with the Ravens. Man that'll be fun to watch him and Lamar running in that offense.

his contracts post his 4-year rookie deal with the Redskins have now been over $410 million, all guaranteed or franchise tags and only short term deals like 1 or 3 years. This 4-year deal is the longest one.

That's an insane amount he'll clear and he's not one of the top tier QBs in the league. Don't know if I've EVER seen a player in the NFL maximize their earning potential like he has.

He has been, what like the 8th-12th best QB for a decade now?  And teams also know it.  So nobody locks him up to a long term mega deal, but then he's always the best QB on the market.  Plus Washington franchised him TWICE.  Has any other QB ever been franchised even once?  Usually that's reserved for positions where injury and wear risks are high.

Bears trade Justin Fields to the Steelers for a ham sandwich.

Pretty much guarantees they’re taking Caleb Williams at #1.

Steelers taking on two reclamation projects in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

Mistake trading Fields IMO.

Wilson will do well with the Pittsburgh Badgers.

Fields was only worth keeping in Chicago if he signed a very team friendly extension. Short of that, might as well trade him and get Caleb on a cheap rookie deal imo. 

They let Russ cook and now he's cooked. Dude is washed. Done-zo. Finito. Finished. Fields will be the starter by the end of the year imo.
