Ryan Leaf did an AMA.

Q: A common explanation as to why Eli Manning refused to be drafted by the Chargers was that you shared your bad experience in San Diego with Peyton Manning, leading to the Manning family into thinking the Chargers are a horribly run franchise, and them being the reason that your NFL career didn't pan out. I guess my question is that is there any truth behind that story? And how would you describe your experience with the Chargers ownership?

A: My opinions might have been an influence, I dont know. But I think everyone could see how that organization dealt with nurturing a young rookie QB. Eli and the Manning family made their own decision and it worked out well in the end for them.

I was looking at this yesterday after getting into a discussion with someone over draft vs free agency/trading for players because they argued the unknown vs the known, and I think that veterans bust differently then draft picks, but probably do so at a similar rate.

So I looked at the top 25 guys on this list of free agents from 2014: (before franchise / transition tags and whatnot): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000329702/article/top-101-nfl-free-agents-for-2014

1 - Jairus Byrd - Injured immediately, never recovered, out of football.
2- Eugene Monroe - Bust, Retired
3 - Michael Johnson - Cut after 1 year in Tampa, went back to the Bengals as an okay player.
4 - Alex Mack - Still rocking
5 - Lamarr Houston - Went to the Bears in '15, bad injuries the last two seasons, probably done as an impact player.
6 - Jared Veldheer - Good player, missed half of last year with injuries.
7 - Branden Albert - Declining but fine
8 - Alterraun Verner - Currently out of football
9 - Michael Bennett - Still rocking
10 - Aqib Talib - Still rocking
11 - TJ Ward - Still rocking
12 - Brent Grimes - Declining but fine.
13 - Vontae Davis- Still good
14 - Eric Decker - Spent most of last season injured, should be good if healthy
15 - Jason Worilds - Quit after '14.
16 - Jason Hatcher - Retired last year
17 - Henry Melton - Cut last year
18 - BJ Raji - Quit last year
19 - Everson Griffen - Still rocking
20 - Sam Shields - Retired from concussions
21 - LaMarr Woodley - Got injured and out of football in '15
22 - Randy Starks - Cut last year
23 - Hakeem Nicks - Cut last year
24 - Jermichael Finley - Retired in '15
25 - Linval Joseph - Still rocking

So in conclusion free agency is a land of contrasts....

Yeah but you're overlooking intangibles like veteran leadership and acting like they've been there before.

Looking at that 2014 first round, I don't think the Browns could have selected any players worse than Justin Gilbert or Johnny Manziel.

Edit: I guess he's still in the NFL - I thought the Rams had cut him - so you're probably right.

How many of them will be able to play that long though? Is playing to the end of your 30's going to be the new normal, or the outlier? What will salary increases look like when the CBA runs out in 2020 and has to be renegotiated around the fact that current TV contracts are unsustainable? Recent history has not been kind to the NFLPA.

I like that commercial where the old man says, "mr brady we've been expecting you"

and then he takes him into an elevator and then into a room and he says, "will you be need anything else mr brady?"

and brady goes "...not a thing"

but the room just has a creepy bed with a bare mattress, no sheets or anything

it always makes me think that brady is going to stick his dick in between the mattress and box spring


actually it's on youtube here it is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi87a3D6xFo

He doesn't need anything else because of the implication. He'll go down there with a couple of tasty treats and when they see that room, they'll have to consider their options and they won't be able to say no. Not because something will happen to them, but because of the implication.

Nike opposes Rob Gronkowski logo, says too similar to Jumpman

...

Earlier this month, the shoe and apparel giant filed a formal opposition to the USPTO Trial & Appeal Board, saying a logo of New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski in silhouette spiking a football could be confused with its Air Jordan Jumpman logo that it has used since November 1987.
