Chargers rounded out their defense with Bryce Callahan and Kyle Van Noy

Van Noy. Surely he is a BB success only

That's hard to tell. He was OK in his one season at Miami. Just not worth the contract they paid. It's clear he goes best in the Belichick system. It's now no Chargers defensive coaching unit to get that out of him now.

Seahawks will travel an NFL-high 29,466 miles this season and change time zones 34 times.

The Steelers will travel an NFL-low 6,442 miles this season — and won't even leave the Eastern time zone all season.

Reminds me of Canberra vs Penrith during covid

At least the Steelers are leaving their city. Penrith travelled a lot less than that.

Giants officially announced today they have released cornerback James Bradberry.

Giants officially announced today they have released cornerback James Bradberry.

Been long mooted. Giants very tight on cap and he frees up around $10m even if they have to eat half his contract. He simply wasn't worth the money they were paying even if he's a very decent CB.

He'll have a new gig soon I'm sure

Ooooph! Tough draw for Dem Boyz.

A pair of home games, but not exactly easy...
Back to back season openers vs the Buccs. Then they get the SB runners up in the Bengals.

Then to the easy beats in the Div in NY.

Back home vs the Commies. If we are more than 500 after 4, we are laughing. Less... oh dear!

Then 2 away, at Vegas vs SB Champs Rams, then @ Pheagles in an early Div deciding game.

We return home for 2 more, vs Lions and Bears. Before heading into the BYE. Right in the middle of the yr and hopefully looking at a +500 record.

Tough pair of road trips, @ Lambo and Minnesota.

Backing up 4 days later, at home, on Thanksgiving vs G-Men. The G-Men are the 1st of 3 home games, with the Colts and Texans also at home.

A trip to Jacksonville is next.

Xmas Eve, in Dallas, with the game that probably decides the Div vs Pheagles.

Then finish away to Tits and Commies.

I think we finish 10-7 or 9-8. I think that record will = 4th NFC seed (realistically its actually 6th seed, but Div winner upgrade). Div record will determine if its Cowboys or Pheagles IMO.

Thats big news. There were rumours Broncos were looking to trade him not long ago. Bet they wish they had taken such action.

I reckon every team's fan base reckon they got a tough draw. Phins forums are saying same. People always look at the negatives.

We get Brady and Burrows to start the yr. Stafford too. We have ARod mid yr.
We also get Derrick Henry to end the yr.

Ooooph! Tough draw for Dem Boyz.

Oh come on! They've got the easiest strength of schedule in the league! Their own crap division, and the AFC South and NFC North!

They should be at 12 wins at the very least

Yeah but they have to play a game against Burrow, Brady and Rodgers. What a nightmare draw.

Derrick Henry's Tits are no push over.

Packers and Pro-Bowl CB Jaire Alexander are finalizing a 4-year, $84 million contract extension, per source. Deal includes $31 million in 2022 - a DB record of $30 million in signing bonus. Alexander will receive $42.5M by March. John Thornton of @RocNationSports confirmed deal.

Jaire Alexander’s new deal averages $21 million per year, a new mark for DBs. It ties him to Green Bay through 2026 season. Alexader broke a bone in his shoulder in week four last year, and played only eight plays in playoffs. Packers still identified him as a core young player.

James Bradberry heading to Eagles on a 1 year deal. That's a decent gap filler till 2023 draft where they will no doubt address the defensive backfield. Surprisingly skipped that need in this year's draft.

Been sweating on this move for a few weeks
A lot of smoke that the eagles were waiting to punce once he was released.

Really needed another good starting corner... we've still got a gapping hole at safety... but there are similar spot fires about the ravens and eagles trading Chuck Clark (now expendable with Marcus Williams and Kyle Hamilton on deck) for Jalen Reagor (who the eagles obviously dont want but the ravens are in need of a speed receiver)... so ill be very eager to see if that goes anywhere

[Matt]

Stupid Pheagles! Keep getting better

[Botman]

If the eagles can swing a trade for a good safety, like Chuck Clark... ill start feeling really bullish about them this year. Though i think the question marks over Hurts being able to run a real NFL passing game remains the big ? over the team. If he can, and they can get some help at safety, it's a pretty damn good team up and down the roster.
If he cant, they'll be dispatched pretty easily by the first good defence they face in the play offs (should they make it)

After playing more games for the Ravens than any other player in franchise history, punter Sam Koch announced his retirement Thursday after 16 NFL seasons. The 39-year-old Koch played in 256 games for the Ravens, more than Terrell Suggs (229) and Ray Lewis (228).

Only a punter, but quality
