It's a good point, but he's estimated to be worth something like 250million dollars in his own right. I mean...

Well it's not even just about the money. I can't imagine Brady passing up an opportunity to make an entire season even more about himself than usual.

Can you imagine the broadcasts? Take the Big Ben "family man" word clouds but multiply that by twelve segments every game of every week.

I'm thinking Wentz is the Week 1 starter for the Colts next year, but they'll bring in a more credible backup and greatly shorten his leash. And after next season he's gone (barring some kind of massive bounceback), and the Colts do whatever they need to in the draft to get a potential franchise guy.

At the very least they'll have an open competition with Ehlinger. But I expect the Colts will try to get someone else who has previously started to see if they can win the job. Winston or Trubisky or even Foles.

The intrigue grows in Green Bay...



Not only might Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams be a package deal, but the timing on whether both will return to the Green Bay Packers could happen almost simultaneously.

While Rodgers originally said he would likely have a decision by the time free agency begins, which is March 16, he offered the possibility that it could be even sooner.

If the Packers are going to use the franchise tag on Adams, the All-Pro receiver, they can do so as early as Feb. 22 but no later than March 8. Rodgers has already said he does not want to be part of a rebuild and likely considers anything without Adams to be just that. And likewise for Adams; he would almost certainly prefer to be able to explore his options if Rodgers doesn't return to the Packers.

I can't even fathom what a package deal of Adams and Rodgers would cost - not to mention you'd have to shell out the extension for both.

Regardless of where he winds up, will be interesting how many years Rodgers wants on his deal at age 38.

The good thing about building an offense around one quarterback is that it tends work alright when you put in a different quarterback as well.

I look at this as just bog-standard 'we have confidence in our guy'. They'd be insane not to have doubts, and I"m sure they do, but at the same time Jones is almost definitely their best option for next year anyways. No established QB is going to come to the Giants and the draft is weak too... rolling with Daniel makes sense.

Diva Cupcake

I think Schoen was fairly non-committal when asked about his 5th year option though. So that will be more telling about what he thinks of Jones than whatever he says at his intro.

BlindSite
Feb 8, 2009

Yeah I mean, I've said it before about Jones in NY. Their team is pretty hosed from top to bottom and there's a lot Daniel Jones does adequately. They're not going to be overly competitive next season anyway - might as well boost his confidence and say he's your guy if you're planning to buff the skill positions on offense and build the lines as well. Plus it kind of makes sense to give your (hopefully) competent incoming coaching staff a year to see if his issues are able to be fixed. If not you can just drop his option and let him go, while making the situation more conducive to being successful with another rookie.

Drafting a QB for the giants in the first round wouldn't exactly do a lot of good considering it's a trash class and they're just so depleted everywhere else.

I gotta think if Payton was still around he would have been a bit of a boon in new Orleans. If there's one thing Payton can do it's polish a turd and he was pretty successful when Brees' arm strength went from good to turd in his last couple years. Now that he's gone... Trying to think who has decent yard after catch receivers and a good run game? Maybe Denver if they can't go after one of the better guys - but is he that much better than Bridgewater?

I'd take him in Carolina if it meant literally every single draft pick we had was going to go to the offensive line. We don't even have a second or third you could throw in to send though.

it would be cool if the cardinals re-branded as the cardinelles, a 1950s and 1960s black musical group-themed football team taking inspiration from groups such as the marvelettes, the shirelles, or the ronettes. i won't mention the supremes, who are the most famous example of what i'm talking about. afterward, the team would probably go for a really good qb in the draft or trade for one.
