None of the last 10 Superbowl winners RBs has earned more than 3 million a season.Someone needs to stop Jerry Jones. Half of their cap is going on three players, one of which is a running back.
Russ to the Bears strongly rumoured to be happening. Maybe even today.
I do feel he may have caused too much of a drama to stay now. Just, he's capable of magic ennit.It’s no problem, when he starts getting hit in Chicago who is he going to blame then? He got hit a lot partly due to the bad o line but also he holds on to long looking for a super throw it’s also become all about him.
The trade to the Jets looked better that I saw yesterday two first round picks one of which is the second in the draft to take Zach Wilson and number twenty three
I thought he was saying he wanted to go to the Raiders with that. Sounded to me like he picked a team from each division of the NFC, thinking the Seahawks wouldn't trade him in conference, then the one team he actually wanted to play at.He has also backed himself into a corner as a lot of the teams his agent named don’t need him , want him or can afford him.
My fear of him leaving is totally shrouded in my subjective experience with the sport in that he's always been the QB as long as I've followed. I still find it slightly mindblowing that one player is so key to the success and failure of a team. There may be examples where this is just not true, I suppose you could say recall Nick Foles winning the Superbowl with the Eagles for one. Part of what makes it so great.
Yeah seems like it from what I've been reading. If that works, great.They can have any quarterback to toss the ball off to the running backs as that’s where the action is going to be.

Teams putting themselves in trouble. There is no middle market for non-elite but good QBs. Prescott deal good example - maybe good enough to get Dallas back to a winning record but is not a Superbowl QB.Way too many QBs take huge contracts then complain about not being protected. Take a look in the mirror.
Chiefs releasing both tackles this week because they have to pay Mahomes $45m. Brady winning every other year because he takes 20% less than market value and they use that money to stop him getting hit.
Be surprised if it's the Bears unless they are going to offer some of their defensive talent (which Carroll will love). Can see the Bears over-valuing Mack in trade terms. Don't have great draft capital. Plus isn't there is the 30 odd million in dead money the Seahawks would have to eat if he moves pre-June 1?Russ to the Bears strongly rumoured to be happening.

Fear of being bad rather desire to be excellent seems to be the some team mantras.The QB contracts are Willy waving
I got into the sport by watching all or nothing and that motto sort of stuck with me. It's not like here avoiding relegation being good or fighting for the top 6 or Europe.. You win the thing or you get nothing, if you're a middling team and you just bob along you should be looking to move forward.Fear of being bad rather desire to be excellent seems to be the some team mantras.
Do not see how paying Cousins or Prescott gets you any closer to winning a Superbowl for example. Examples of good (but not great QBs. ) who can win games but not titles.
That's part of the beauty of the sport. It's a built-in cyclical nature. A 2-14 team can win titles within 2-3 years. Teams can reset and go for it.I got into the sport by watching all or nothing and that motto sort of stuck with me.

It's why I was happy for Washington to move on from Cousins, it's obviously made is crap in the mid-term but we'd have ended up 8-8, or there abouts, for a decade before he retired.

Combination of the draft and cap can make any team relevant with the decent management.
Next week we're going to see a lot of last season's weaker teams stock up on top players as they have cap space and many of last season's stronger teams don't (and some will be losing big players). Big teams can't just buy their way into relevancy at the expense of smaller teams like in football. In football a Brady doesn't join the Buccs.
The draft is a great equaliser over a period of time but can change some teams immediately.
Also there is only one prize - the Superbowl. Nobody cares who came 3rd or 4th. Division titles are more about regional bragging rights than anything meaningful. Making the playoffs every year but losing in the first round can actually condemn teams to mediocrity as they suffer in the draft - less likely to be able to draft superstars or franchise changers.
That's the leveller. With equal opportunities Jets and Lions consistently blow it - that's down to ownership and management.Try telling that to a Jets fanthey seem to lose every season the draft makes no difference to them. But it does work for other teams and is a good leveller.

So it's Fitzmagic for WFT.
Pat's and Jets showing their cap space spending muscles.
Newton, Agholor & Bourne not enough?Pats are deffo addressing some big needs, they just need a QB and a WR and they are looking good to go this year
Can see them targetting Jones as a BB-type QB. May not even have to trade up for him unless they fear somebody else climbing for him.Also with BB seemingly trying to solve all other problems via FA are the looking to give away a large part of their draft picks to jump up in the draft to get the future QB? Not talking top 2 but for someone like Lance or Jones?

Really have filled their holes with FA so far and still have space to look for a Thuney replacement
Added Henry now. So that's his 2 TEs he likes to use.Onwenu might be slated to move inside with Wynn and Brown being next years tackles.
