Then it's a team culture issue, as I posted. Are you on a team that fights for every inch, starting in training camp with understanding what's expected like hard work and proper diet and exercise, or not? Players may not be required to do shit, but NFL teams are not required to employ players who aren't on board with some basic understandings. That's my real criticism, not even him so much. It'd be one thing if he played poorly these past 2 years, but gave it everthing. He thoroughly admits being out of shape in this article and I honestly don't understand how an organization accepts that at

This. How mind blowing to read he drops thirty pounds of fat, adds twenty pounds of muscle, and starts eating right AFTER allowing the crown jewel of the franchise to get seriously injured on his watch.

Add in pass catching and blocking skill. Could be a sneaky steal.

I wanted Sewell badly. That said, I'm taking solace in the fact that Burrow really wanted Chase. It's baffling to me.

Either his mindset is contagious and holds with this team, or he probably gets blown up again. Seems like the wrong move to me, but it's his health and career, we DID get an awesome receiver, and like last year I'll be i

Why is Alexander so worried about his height? Says there's doubt that 6-6 is accurate, so he's worried he'll be too tall? Once upon a time that may have been true, but that's close to average these days. Is the concern about height something else? This guy seems like a no-brainer, but Alexander won't even comment because of his listing at 6-6. Anyone able to enlighten me?
