The Saints are creative as hell but also aren't paying a huge cap-destroying QB contract that usually necessitates these kinds of moves so iunno

Deshaun probably won't go on to have a pretty terrible MMA career at least. Christ looking it up Hardy fought again (and lost again) on March 5th.

Tough old world for Greg.

his last UFC fight was extremely funny because he fought a bald, somewhat unassuming looking moldovan man who just grabbed onto him and never let him go, slamming him to the mat and pounding his head in to the point that greg looked like he didn't know the fight was over until his corner told him when he was on the stool

it was also extremely wholesome because jase1 bet 200k on hardy losing so he could buy his wife a maybach before he passes from cancer

I mean, moving a bunch of money around to avoid being in crushing cap hell with no QB doesn't make you a genius, it makes you the Giants.

Didnt they cut Armstead? Oh, OverTheCap still shows him on the roster because 2022 is a void year, but I thought he was the 31 year old T that is really good, who is waiting to sign somewhere because he wants to stay in NO.

edit: so yeah, he wasnt "cut" but he's in a void year, okay the tweet is right

2 years prior, they designated him as a post-June 1st cut so his dead cap was spread over 2020 and 2021

From what I understand, he’s waiting to see what Watson will do. Although if he’s not on the roster at 3 today, all the dead cap accelerates. So it would behoove them to get a deal done now.

I only want to hear Joe Buck on tv if he's paired with Artie Lang.

This is probably the best MNF cast they've had in a decade.

Granted, the bar was so low as to be buried beneath the earth, but theyve failed to clear it in the past!

Yeah, buck on his own is actually pretty good. It's Aikman that's so utterly terrible that he drags the whole thing down.

Joe yes, Troy needs to be put out to pasture instead of earning 18.5 million a year to say nothing on TV.

Playoff team still whines when they don't get the ball in OT when their opponent scores TD and gets the 2-point conversion.

That sounds like a cool alternative to the usual OT rules. First team can gamble big to ice the game, and if they mess up the second team can still win with a TD and XP.

It's not going to happen of course but it's a nice idea in concept.



Could be spending all that money on Kevin Harlan smh

I'm glad people are proposing changes. I'm not sure what I want, and I'm certain there will be a lot of people vocally complaining no matter what they do, but I'm glad the NFL is trying.

They’re thinking long term, since ESPN/ABC are getting Super Bowls in 2027 and 2031, and this contract will cover at least the first one of those.
