Re: NFL Thread
The trade has finally happened. Baker Mayfield to Panthers for a conditional 5th round pick. Browns picking up $10m of his 2022 salary.
They really nailed that one.

Re: NFL Thread
Yeah I’m not a fan. Just a pointless signing. Panthers should’ve just tanked with Darnold and see if there’s anything there with Corral.
College football has had another seismic shift, with USC and UCLA ditching the Pac-12 for the Big-10. SEC and Big-10 both at 16 teams now.
For fun, my additions for 24 team super leagues:
Big 10
Notre Dame
Oregon
Washington
Duke (for basketball)
Virginia
West Virginia
Pitt
Cincinnati
SEC
Clemson
Florida State
Miami
North Carolina
Baylor
Oklahoma State
Kansas (for basketball)
Virginia Tech
The leftovers of ACC / Big-12 / Pac-12 plus a few group of 5 schools to combine for another 24 team league which would be the second tier league behind SEC/Big10, but slightly above the rest.

but to drag the other sports into this madness makes no sense... why can't the schools just form these super conferences in college football and leave the other sports alone in their conferences now.
College football is a different beast to the other college sports, including basketball even accounting for march madness.
Just let the football programme go it on their own and leave the others where they belong
The SEC and Big 10 becoming NFC/AFC of college football is going to make for some VERY **** cool college football season.

Re: NFL Thread
Yeah I think eventually college sports will evolve to different conferences for each sport, or at the very least, specific conferences for football, and the rest combined. Till then though, and despite football being king, there comes a point when you’d take a top 5 basketball program over a team that is in the 40-50 range of top football teams.Botman wrote: ↑July 7, 2022, 12:54 pmIt's strange because i sort of understand the need for this shift as far as college football goesthe bone wrote: ↑July 7, 2022, 10:44 am College football has had another seismic shift, with USC and UCLA ditching the Pac-12 for the Big-10.

How's that for a vote of confidence in Brisset.

We'll they'll need 3 QBs on the roster for his suspension period

Re: NFL Thread
Jimmy G now told he can seek a trade. Seahawks have the draft capital and no QB. Would be short odds to land him.

I think Seattle will ultimately end up with him. I dont think it will be via tradeNorthern Raider wrote: ↑July 22, 2022, 3:40 pm Jimmy G now told he can seek a trade. Seahawks have the draft capital and no QB. Would be short odds to land him.
Seattle have to be sitting there right now thinking where else can he go?
There is really no one for him now that Baker has landed in Carolina... Jimmy G's contract will eventually become guaranteed for this year, i think its the date for roster cut down... the hawks can probably bet the niners will straight up cut him before they pay him 25m to be a back up QB.
Also the Hawks only have 17m in cap space, so they would have to redo the deal or make another corresponding move to fit in Jimmy G
So they can and will patiently wait for the niners to cut him.
The browns are an interesting wild card... because of the structure of the Watson deal, they have plenty of space. They could bring Jimmy in for a year if Watson is suspended the entire season? Would they do it? I'm not sure, but they'd have the cap space and need and they've clearly decided to go all in with this roster over the next few years.
They dont have much to trade but i doubt the hawks would offer much and the Niners would probably rather send him to the AFC N than to have to cut him and risk him showing up in their division

Re: NFL Thread
$17m in cap space is plenty to fit him in. If they brought him in via trade or FA it wouldn't be on his current deal. Fairly easy restructure and extension will sort it out.Botman wrote: ↑July 22, 2022, 4:04 pmI think Seattle will ultimately end up with him.

Biggest problem is no team will see Jimmy G as a long term solution. Whoever lands him will always have an eye open for an upgrade.

Re: NFL Thread
The Cowboys are adding potential help in the return game by signing wide receiver KaVontae Turpin.
To make room for Turpin on the 90-man roster, the Cowboys waived fullback Nick Ralston.
Turpin was named USFL MVP for the New Jersey Generals in June after leading the league in receiving and also posting a punt return touchdown. The former TCU star went undrafted in 2019, likely due in part to reported off-the-field issues.
Turpin could compete right away to earn a spot as a return specialist as well as a spot in the receiver rotation. CeeDee Lamb is unlikely to be the featured punt returner now that he's the No. 1 receiver.

We're into camps now and the first major injury has occurred to a contender... Bucs Center Ryan Jensen went down today with what is considered a serious knee injury. That Bucs OL is now potentially replacing all 3 interior OL... sub optimal for a team lead by Tom Brady, who hates interior pressure more than most and is now firmly in his mid 40s.

As for Cowboys, I know, its the other league, but he was still the MVP, so must have done something right. He will be a returner and very marginal WR reps guy. Likely slot given his size

Good. I need that for my fantasy dynasty team... i've had Davonte Adams go from Rodgers to Carr (i also have Rodgers in that league), i've had Tyreek Hill get traded to miami to muddy up Waddle's situation, god damn Melvin Gordon wont piss off out of Javonte Williams life... its been a very annoying off season for the 2 3 time champs who are shooting for a hattrick and 4 titles in 5 years... Deebo getting traded to some **** situation was all i needed!

Re: NFL Thread
Interesting that the findings of the investigation found egregious tampering violations for Brady and Payton, but was clear to say the claims of Ross incentivising tanking as per Flores's claim was considered "not intended or taken to be a serious offer, nor was the subject pursued in any respect by Mr. Ross or anyone else at the club."

Reckon they couldn't prove the tanking allegation so stung them bad for the tampering.
Like the old Al Capone trial. Couldn't get him for the raft of serious crimes they knew he was guilty of so went hard on the tax evasion.
