Speaking of the Seahawks, isn't the sister running the team supposed to sell because that's what is in Paul Allen's trust or something
They do have to sell eventually, but Paul Allen owned a lot of things and the estate executors have a lot of leeway in which order things are sold.
There is also a provision in the law which funded the building of the stadium the Seahawks play in, that if the team sold within 25 years, 10% of the gross sale price goes back to the state.
That provision expires May 2, 2024.
I don't think anyone in the Allen estate has said they have been waiting for that date to pass, but it seems likely.

The Saints already had a replacement head coach and Payton was sitting around doing dick while under contract. They had leverage.

The Pats and Titans wanted to move on and presumably Belichick and Vrabel had an interest in continuing to show up to work and not having their future teams give up draft compensation.

In retrospect, the Saints should've held on to his rights, fired DA this year, and brought him back tanned and rested.

Maybe you can sit down with all of the players who didn’t vote for him and explain the math to them, I’ll bet they’d find that much more compelling than their experiences playing the game.

1. Any team looking to hire underperformed expectations.
2. Bill would waste those picks anyway and he knows it.

The narrative is “nfl players think Myles Garret and Mason Crosby are better than TJ Watt.” But sure, got make a spreadsheet about it.

Some players benefit from having very good talent around them as well since the defense can't just scheme them out of a game. It's not their fault but it's a fact that can't be entirely ignored.

Somebody like Crosby is putting up pretty good stats while being surrounded by subpar talent and being double teamed and held on like 95% of his snaps.

I'm not making a massive argument saying Crosby is unequivocally the best D-lineman but I want it to be said that Garrett, Bosa and Watt are playing with defensive teammates that are much better overall than anyone Maxx has alongside him. It's basically just him and a bunch of JAGs.

Crosby is great and so is Garrett. My point is that y'all have excuses every year why they're better than TJ with less production.
