JR is signed for 3 more years at 17, 14.5 and 15.5. I'm sure he'd want to renegotiate, but those numbers are team friendly.

Interesting article on the homepage. Predicts next year's QB room will probably be identical to last year's QB room. KP, Mitch, and Mason. That would allow for more offseason building around Kenny.
It would be so big for the steelers but so unlikely....Quote:

If one thing is true (losing LBs to cap issues) then Wagner has to be willing to ring chase at a discount. If that is true, why would he go to any of the Giants, Lions, and Steelers? Wagner is gonna be 33 I think and all of those teams are probably 2+ years away from appearing in a SB. Meaning that Wagner would be lured by CASH in those cases.
So the person who generated this list seems to think that Wagner is both chasing a ring and chasing a payday? I mean...sure....cover all your bases? But from just looking at the Twitter graphic, it makes no sense.
The lions are in a very good position to take another huge step if their front office makes a good decision this offseason... They have 2 picks in the top 20 in their next draft (I believe they also have 2 second round picks), so if the lions improve their defense (which Wagner would help a lot) and their offense continues to play well like in 2022, I think they could be a slepper...: The lions are my too early pick to win the NFC north right now and sometimes come playoffs time, if you're hot, you never know (2021 bengals)Quote:

Lots of players don’t want to win. Some just want to get paid, some just want to play. Half the league is probably that way…Quote:

It will be Houston or Indianapolis. The Bears can drop to 4 and still possibly get Carter or Anderson…after that, they are gambling.Quote:

Gee...nice of Schefter to carry water for the Bears :)
That may as well have been written specifically for Jim Irsay...."Come get your guy or someone else will!"
Hat and clipboard guy from here on out…Quote:

I like Wagner as a player but not his age. Let someone else pay him a bunch of cash. This is not an "all in" team right now. Most of the rest of the roster is under 30. They need to be adding more on that side of the age range.
Take Wagner's cash and get Sutton and Edmunds under contract.
Yeah, if Jack and Wagner were each 5+ years younger.Quote:

To me that's a no brainer, you cut Trustinky and sign a guy like Mariota for around $2 million per year to hold the clipboard. That saves us around $6 million this year (because of Trustinky's dead cap space).Quote:

I am not so sure that Mariota can "run the offense" his time in Atlanta and Vegas would seem to indicate that after about your third QB draw call, he's got nothing to bring to the table.
That is not to say that Trubisky does either. But the devil you know and all that...
That’s not Tomlins MO though…Trubisky offers a comfort factor that Mariota cannot.Quote:
