Got any draft darlings?

I would absolutely love to get that TE from Oklahoma is he’s on the board by the time Dallas picks. Big body, good hands, solid run blocker. He’s a bigger Witten imo and would be perfect for two TE sets.

Reported that the Rams are sending a 2018 2nd and 6th round pick, and 2019 2nd round pick in the trade.

dont remind me...ugh im so fing mad right now. Fuller isn't good enough and i doubt we get another draft pick who plays like peters. I cant believe they did that. It's getting hard to be a chiefs fan. 

I guess it’s a rebuild move? Stock up on some draft picks and replenish the LB corps and Dline. Maybe find some weapons for Pat?

idk man. Starting a rebuild by giving up one of your star players still on their rookie contract seems counterproductive to me.

Chiefs reportedly are sending Marcus Peters to the Rams for a package of draft picks. I haven’t seen any exact specifics yet.

I guess that puts the Kendall Fuller pick up in a different perspective.

@amegakure

I grew up in places where it snowed once every few decades, so football was my sport. Wish I could relate on the hockey :(

Today I watched the Men’s Aerials skiing finals. What an absolutely insane sport, seriously. It’s like the vault in gymnastics but instead you’re strapped to skis and getting launched off a half pipe instead of a spring board. Ridiculous.

I definitely agree that his ceiling is higher. Alex is a good QB but Pat has the ~potential to be better. I don’t hate the trade. They got a third rounder in this upcoming draft where you could find a serviceable guy and a CB in the deal to add more depth to an already good secondary. It all makes sense but now they need to build around Pat to get that success he’s capable of.

I almost love the off season as much as the regular lol

The defensive front is getting kinda old, too. Though I can’t blame anyone for having trouble bringing a RB like Henry down.

What's everyone think of Mahomes and the chiefs chances of winning more than one playoff game? 

I haven’t seen him play since he was at Tech but the guy has a cannon, at least.

I really don’t think Alex Smith was the problem. The first half against the Titans he and Kelse lit it up, but once Kelse was out they couldn’t move the ball anymore. Hunt and Hill are one-trick ponies imo. They need more versatile offensive weapons.

Cousins in a Jets uniform?

I think the Jags are ~unlikely, personally.

From everything I’ve heard/seen it looks like Denver or Arizona could be the biggest contenders which is sort of interesting considering they’re both drafting pretty early on in the 1st. But I guess if they’re able to get their QB in free agency they can focus instead on getting weapons/protecting them/upgrading defense. Denver would go OL, I think, and I could see Arizona looking for a Larry Fitzgerald replacement (as if that’s possible).

*facepalm*

If I were Cousins I'd probably rather play for the Jags.  I know the Browns have more cap but what's 10 million compared to super bowl contenders?  Cousins already been paid.

To the tune of +25mil the past two years, good point. I suppose him refusing to resign with the Skins could be a product of burned bridges and not necessarily a money issue. We’ll see.

I’m not sure the Jags are quite ready to pull the plug on Bortles though and their cap is gonna be locked up with that defense with the likes of Campbell, Bouye, and eventually Jack and Ramsey with expiring rookie deals. Their window is small to bring on another expensive vet.

He's gotta be traded, right?  You can't ride the pine as the reigning SB MVP, coming off the (second) best game of your career.  The franchise can't start a guy that's been mediocre - at best - over the #2 overall pick that they traded up for.  

You’d think so, yeah - but he isn’t a big cap hit and he just proved himself one hell of an insurance policy. I mean, I would think Philly would want to cash in but I really have no clue. I wouldn’t accept anything short of a first rounder in 2018, and maybe even 2019.

I think Foles stays with the Eagles.

 

Cousins - I wouldn't mind seeing him at Denver

I was mistaken. Foles in on contract through next season as well so he could only move if traded.

There’s a few good landing spots for Cousins. Denver is what I keep hearing, but Arizona needs a QB as well and has some decent pieces. Cleveland, of course, is looking for one and if they sign a vet in free agency they could use their #1 and #4 picks on some other insta-playmakers. Plus they have the most cap space, I think.

The question becomes what happens to Foles now? He’s a free agent soon. There’s a lot of QB thirsty teams out there that’d pay up, I think. Him and Cousins (and maybe Keenum/Bridgewater) make for an interesting market.

So Swarm won Atlantis this month. This one really went down to the wire.

It really was an entertaining game to watch. Even I can admit that

And sorry, AJ.  We tried.

It was a no-win situation for me, but I appreciate the effort anyway. Maybe Philly is still smoldering...

Dang, you're right - forgot that one.

Patriots 0-3 against the NFC East

Their plan is to hand the reins over to their first round pick from last year, Mahones III from Texas Tech. They’re going to need to pick up some more offensive weapons imo.

Destination Cousins

Probably not from Colorado.

Anyone from around the world can reach. To include Colorado

The distance will be marked as zero so all formations apply as well (minus support).

ESPN reports Alex Smith traded to the Washington Redskins and is expected to be given a four year extension averaging $23.5mil a year with $71mil guaranteed. The deal cannot be finalized until March 14th and the Redskins are expected to give up a third round pick and corner Kendall Fuller.

Initial thoughts?
