Talk about the NFL

He has a penchant for always being in the wrong side of any issue, doesn't he?

Won't change that he's awful and needs to sell the team, but guess we'll see if this deters Dan Snyder from trying to pimp out the cheerleaders for the time being.

Hope they get paid properly. With benefits.

So Dianna tweeted this early yesterday. She has very good sources, so it wasn't taken lightly and it put the idea on the horizon.






Then she retweeted this, something that as far as I know, went under the radar on the day it happened. So get ready. Players you know and like on their current teams, are going to be surprise free agents. We've already seen it happen this week (Kyle Rudolph, Golden Tate, Jared Cook).

I think there will be a good chance that Russell gets traded. In the end, the last few weeks of his poor play were poor play calling. Carroll decided to become a running team, with Russell, Metcalf and Locket available. Russell must be like "Fine, you don't want me to throw the ball? I can go and throw it somewhere else".

[JazzNU]

I don't think Russ is going anywhere at all. I think the front office has got to wake up and get the man an offensive line, and this might have finally done that. Some of what gets missed in all this noise, is that though the agent released the landing spots for a reason, it was a list formulated at the time that the no-trade clause contract was signed. I don't think he's seriously trying to force his way out right now.

There is predicted to be a lot of movement in the QB position, Scheftie said at one point, that it could be around 18 and he'd take the over. I just don't think the franchise is ready to realize what life without Russ is like. I can't see the Allens signing off on it. Could be wrong, but I have a hard time believing a smart family like that forgets what the perception was of them before Russ arrived.

Posting it this way so you can see the entire list, the Tweet will only show the cutoff version without clicking the photo directly.

Teams who have money to spend

Buccaneers may possibly be losing Lavonte David to Miami.

[ponchi101]

Even if he does not come back as a backup, he should be hired like in 5 minutes as a QB coach. I am sure Mahones would endorse that.

[JazzNU]

Mahomes? Okay, but I doubt the current KC QB coach would give up his position all that quickly or appreciate the endorsement unless you meant for another team.

Also, it's really strange to me how much people associate Alex Smith with the Chiefs.

[ponchi101]

I did mean for another team. Mahones has praised Smith on several occasions, saying what a great teammate he was and how, when Mahones came to the team, Smith helped him a lot.
Obviously the Chiefs do not need a QB coach. But there are a lot of others that do. I would say the Rams, with a new QB, could be one.

[JazzNU]

Two years after the deal should've been done, the deal is finally done. Also, Dak got a no-trade clause.

[JazzNU]

Franchise tag moves happening at a rapid pace today. Players getting the tag and a lot of players being told they won't be tagged, making them free agents.

Few are getting tagged, but Chris Godwin was. Some not getting tagged so far are Kenny Golladay, Bud Dupree, and Hunter Henry.
