Yeah I guess but I don't think they will. They can probably do like a 2-3 year deal with him and get a much better cap hit.

yeah I think they'll sign him to a 3-4 year deal, but the tag would keep things from escalating to a bidding war plus they have the option to trade him if the price is right or, as it were, wrong

it's surprising there aren't more leaks from the coaching side about teams with a vacancy like the Johnson/Manders one. I don't even necessarily mean super specific like that, or from one guy, just rumors where it's like "multiple candidates this cycle have mentioned to sources that the GM/ownership/etc has no plan or direction/that they're dickheads." or maybe we do get those every other year and I just forget. hard to say

he could of just left the team to one of those foundations and it would be a money printer for decades. but I guess they'd have to disclose even more financial info than the Packers do to maintain their charity status

The fact that you can be so sure that a guy who won the super bowl 6 times has lost it and forgot how to coach is remarkable.

he's 72. people 5 years past retirement age lose it. I think he's probably still an above average coach, but he isn't Bill Prime, and it's unreasonable to expect him to be

not to mention at his age he'll give you 3 years at most. if your team's just a couple players and a good coach away, he'd be worth bringing in. the Falcons aren't that, none of the teams this cycle were

will Raheem Morris be better than 2004 or 2014 Bill Belichick? will he be better than 2024 Bill Belichick? will he be better than best-case-scenario 2024 Bill Belichick? the answers "no, almost certainly, maybe" feel like pretty safe bets

His press conference made it clear that he still wanted to be the head coach of the Seahawks. He never expressed public interest in another job, nobody other than Florio ever reported even private interest in another job, his agent didn’t leak to Rapoport or Schefter that he was interested in other jobs….

If he wanted another head coaching job he sure was subtle about it.

yeah I think if he actually wanted to be a head coach for another team he would have made that obvious, either directly or through an anonymous source

that Von Miller deal is so crazy. every team should get one or two "my bad" chips per decade they can use to clear a player's salary from the cap (and of course the revenue split, they'd be accounted as FO/staff and thus wouldn't take away from the players' pool), but they still have to pay the contract/negotiate a buyout

it's really the fans that are getting the pass there since the owner is still beholden to the contract, and taking it out of the revenue split means that money has to be spent on players, but I do agree that it's funny

Huh. That’s some compelling evidence.

I think everyone itt is on the side of survivors and generally distrustful of the judicial system.

But “literally not at the scene of the crime when the crime occurred” seems like bulletproof evidence of innocence.

it would be, but that's not what happened

quote:

Prosecutors and Araiza’s attorney said Araiza admitted to having sex with the teen during the party. But, according to prosecutors who have pieced together a timeline of the night, Araiza had left the party about an hour before video shows several men having sex with the accuser.

so he wasn't there when the gang rape video was taken, but he did confirm he had sex with her that night, at that party, where she (a 17 year old) was drunk

perhaps it's wrong of me but I remain skeptical despite the fact that the prosecutors couldn't confirm his presence at the party when the video was taken. and even in the best case scenario he was on some Josh Giddey poo poo. hopefully Andy can set him on a Vicklike redemption journey

the 2023 Chiefs getting through the Bills and Ravens on the road and then 9ers is absolutely "anything can happen" poo poo especially considering it required Greenlaw to pop his Achilles taking the field. it's not the 2011 Giants but it's still absurd.

restricting it to the Chiefs, who were still a pretty good offense and solid overall team this year, is silly, and not even an especially demonstrative case. they're just easy to remember because it happened like last week and I’m stupid. but you're right, it's never happened to a bad team, but a few meh teams have managed to do it: Flacco went fluke-o, the Giants pulled off road upsets against the 15-1 Packers and stacked 9ers before squeaking by the dominant Pats, and the Eagles late season offense was doodoo so they aaaalmost lost to the Falcons before riding Nick Foles (lol) to a Superbowl over a dynasty.

just 3 winners in the last 30+ years that I can think of, and again none of those teams were actually bad, certainly the Chiefs weren't. so it's at best a ~1/40 chance if your playoff team is "ok" and then nosedives from there. but sometimes longshots hit a few weeks in a row, and before you know it Dre Greenlaw's foot falls off due to light jogging. so idk I guess that could happen to the Panthers next year? even though it won't. it could... and that's cool

yeah, essentially this, but it's also their workplace. it probably puts you in a better mood if your employer isn't giving you a bottom of the barrel converted garage rear end looking gym to work in. sure in theory they get paid enough not to care but that's not how the human mind works. the on-site gym my current workplace provides is much smaller but looks way better than that ol bullshit

Reid should have been forced into rehab for a year and then sent to like help clean up superfund sites or something. spending time in prison wasn't doing his victim any good, but neither is releasing him early.

it's odd that no source is even putting him at the scene. obviously with the video if the driver had run - whether it was Rice or not - the police would know about it, and that probably would have filtered out to the news as well. no source I've seen has mentioned the police are looking for the vehicle's driver. if a witness saw him flee the scene there'd be a warrant out. in any case I hope the person in the hospital is ultimately ok

a number of players repeatedly stated they didn't trust that it was truly confidential and worried that any uses of the program would get reported back to the team

that's fair tbh, given their arbitrary style of discipline I probably wouldn't trust it unless it was directly organized by the PA and ran by a third party

also it's kinda silly to race on public roads when you can afford to rent a fuckin track. I 100% get wanting to race but even in my 20s I was worried about hurting bystanders
