  1. At the risk of interrupting your discussion on other team's fashion statements....
  2. Just curious.... How many DT do you have before you hit "meh"?
  3. I don't think they care about him having been on the Bengals. I think they've had second thoughts because he likely wants $10+mil and his role on their team wouldn't justify it.
  4. If they are able to trade Tee Higgins and the 18th pick for Nabers, they should do it.
  5. I did a mock draft on a different site that had Joe Alt drop. Seeing another one makes me wonder if there's something to that possibility. Probably just the sims being really goofy but there's always a chance it's all of the media blowhards that have been setting the supposed boards that could be wrong. Right now, I consider it a dream scenario.
  6. Just going back to 2000, you have the following 1st round OL picks: 2018 21 Billy Price C Ohio State 2012 27 Kevin Zeitler G Wisconsin 2002 10 Levi Jones T Arizona 2009 6 Andre Smith T Alabama 2015 21 Cedric Ogbuehi T Texas A&M 2019 11 Jonah Williams T Alabama So, two interior guys compared to 4 tackles. The 2nd round is 1 Guard vs. 3 Tackles: 2003 33 Eric Steinbach G Iowa 2006 55 Andrew Whitworth T LSU 2015 53 Jake Fisher T Oregon 2021 46 Jackson Carman T Clemson What they do draft a lot of high is defensive backs. Tons of them in the 1st 2 rounds.
  7. Does anybody else understand WTF the Browns are doing with these guarantees on contracts? Like, hey - you're semi-mid - here's 3 years guaranteed at 5mil+ over your market value per year.
  8. Just for kicks, did a quick mock draft to see how people thought things were changing: 18.) Couldn't believe Joe Alt fell to our spot. Draft sims are kinda stupid sometimes and I can't get it to happen again. 21.) Just because, I traded Miami 2 2nd round picks (2024 & 2025). 80.) Grabbed the LSU nose tackle to add some beef to the D-line as Reader's hopeful replacement 97.) Came down to Brooks vs. Corum - I went with the guy that was more likely a threat in the passing game but thought about grabbing TE Sinnot 115.) Too good of a value pick since he's really only available there for the Tennessee incident where he got into it with the fans as they stormed the field. If they could handle Mixon's infamous punch, this one should be a nothing-burger for them. 149.) Random IOL shot in the dark - writeups on him sound good. 194.) Why not. I supposed this pick could have been a punter. 214 & 224.) CB picks with upside. 237.) Edge rusher with lots of upside. https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/user-mock-drafts/2024/user-mock-2408455
  9. It really looks like Boyd's market isn't taking shape. He's probably better off going back to the Bengals and making something work. I haven't seen anything negative from the team but there could have been something that the fans aren't privy to.
  10. I sometimes wonder... At what point does Tyler Boyd give up on all of these other teams the media claims he's going to and just get something done with the Bengals on a 1 or 2 year contract?
  11. It's all fun and games to joke about but screw it. Give them this year's and next year's 1st round picks for Jefferson. The team is making good picks over the last decade a little more than 50% of the time. One of the next two picks is likely to be another player like Ogbuehi, Ross, or Price that doesn't even work out that well. Jefferson is just a replacement for the pick they would have hit on. Keep Tee and go with Chase, Jefferson and Tee as WRs this season and figure out the cap going forward.
  12. They were compensated for the loss of minority coaches and assistant GM who became a GM someplace else.
  13. 7 more days until: At which time you can pencil Tee Higgins in for $21,665,000.
  14. Just for kicks - did 7 rounds on https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/mock-draft-simulator no clue how they do their rankings... 18 J.C. Latham OT | Alabama A+ 49 Ja'Tavion Sanders TE | Texas A 80 Jackson Powers-Johnson IOL | Oregon A 115 Cole Bishop S | Utah A 147 Marist Liufau LB | Notre Dame A 174 Bryson Nesbit TE | North Carolina B+ 195 Fentrell Cypress CB | Florida State A+ 234 Michael Wiley RB | Arizona A+ 251 Storm Duck CB | Penn State C
  15. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2020/11/10/nfl-minority-coach-general-manager-hiring-proposal-approved/6234064002/ I don't know 100% if they have to currently be under contract and thus getting the raise or not though. My guess is if his contract with the Bengals is expired then no compensation for the Bengals. If he is still under contract for next year, or hired before this league year is concluded then the Bengals would get the compensation.
  16. I don't think they're coaching to win right now. I think they're coaching to be competitive and barely lose games if possible. Stay close in games, give the fans hope (the whole - if we had Burrow we would have won effect) and try to evaluate some of the younger / depth players. Maybe they accidentally win a game off of something unexpected like a strip-sack fumble recovery or a pick-6. If they lose all of the rest of the games, they're looking at a draft spot of around 6th. Perfect place for a top-end weapon, tackle or defensive player - depending on what they can get done in the off-season. I honestly don't expect them to win more than 1 more game - oddly enough it will probably be the last game of the season against the Browns. If winning the game won't hurt their draft positioning, then they'll go for it just to have something to build off of going into the off-season.
  17. … which is potentially replaced by a compensatory pick anyways. Although he’s coming up on the max years in league for that part of the compensation formula. I don’t remember if it’s 8, 9, or 10 years in the league.
  18. I think they want to achieve both... 1.) Stroke his ego. 2.) Get his contract redone before Herbert and Burrow. That way they are paying less overall for their QB. At some point in time though, they are going to have to deal with the salary bomb that is Patty's contract. That's the year that they will tank it all to get one of the top two or three picks and try it all over again.
  19. Now that Lamarr is done, the other guys - Herbert and then Burrow are up. Both are going to be higher than Jackson's contract and then each of them higher than the previous. That would mean the Chiefs would need to go above both of those teams when they redo Patty's contract if they wait. So I think that they just want to try and get in front of those two QBs who will be his main sources of competition for the next several years. If they can slot him in as the 3rd highest (of course announced as the 1st highest when it's done) contract, they'd be ecstatic. Honestly, the Chargers and Bengals should get their contracts done ASAP and get the Chiefs to pay more for Patty.
  20. Don't know if this was posted already, but gotta love seeing this:
  21. For those who don't want to google it themselves... https://www.si.com/nfl/titans/news/tennessee-titans-taylor-lewan-files-lawsuit-against-doctor-acl-injury
  22. Taylor Lewan is suing the doctor and medical team that did his ACL surgery. He is claiming that they screwed it all up and were negligent. sounds like his knee might be cooked. Doubt he plays anymore -at least not without having a new surgery to redo the ACL procedure.
