I'd rather give Kenny a year with Arthur Smith. Say what you will, but Pickett was 7-4 as a starter last year. And had a few clutch drives to win games. And he would've won the 2 Trubisky games. Maybe I'm an optimist. Draft another stud for the O-line this year, and if Kenny doesn't work out, there is really good protection for whoever is the starter in 2025.

Cause he did SO much for Desmond Ridder. . .

Wilson played a lot better this past season that the first year in Denver. Assuming the asking price isn't too steep, I could see him helping the Steelers a fair amount if the goal is to avoid a full teardown and rebuild.

WHAT

CJ Stroud with a competent running game = league fucked

Probably why this is not going to happen or we sign him for bookoo dollars and he gets hurt immediately

[Cobra Commander]

The Chiefs have signed Matt Araiza as it's possible the incumbent punter (Tommy Townsend) is departing for more money.

Araiza and the accuser wrapped up their lawsuits 2 months ago with a mutual agreement to not admit wrongdoing or pay anybody. But Araiza can still sue the attorney of his accuser.

Miami's going to release Emanuel Ogbah.  

This will save them $13.7m against the cap.  

 

EDIT -- Also Xavien Howard will be cut with Post 6/1 designation.  That's per Omar Kelly, so... extreme bushels of salt.

Will Dak become the first NFL player to average $60 mil or higher per year on a contract?

[Dolfan in NYC]

Cincinnati has announced they are Franchising WR Tee Higgins.

Also Xavien Howard allegedly has interest in playing for Houston since he’s from here. Allegedly.

[Kevin Wilson]

Going to be an interesting off season for RB.  Barkley, Jacobs, Henry, Pollard, and Ekeler all free agents and none look likely to be tagged. Feel bad for Pollard and Ekeler, its tough being a late 20s/early 30s running back as it is but getting FA the same time as the other three is rough. Especially since RB value has been going down anyway, they may end up with a one year/10 mil deal or something.

If the Bills didn't already invest in Cook I'd love to get Ekeler for a cheap-ish deal, was always a fan of his (although he did drop a bit last year).

She's betraying her Spokane heritage with this nonsense. 

[Dolfan in NYC]

Jonnu Smith is getting cut by Atlanta

I am not dragging the other thread up since its like 3 pages back now so...

First - FedEx is remaining a sponsor of other things with the team

Second - Apparently FedEx made the decision when the team was sold

Third - in very broad strokes, the Founder of FedEx was a minority owner of the team who got screwed by Daniel Snyder

KC will be releasing Marquez Valdes-Scantling,

It will save them $12 million

[Tabe]

The NFLPA has released their annual player survey of franchises.  KC ranked near the bottom overall in player satisfaction.  Complaints included that they are given stools instead of chairs in the locker room.  The Raiders ranked dead last in coaching (surveys taken before Josh McDaniels was fired).  The Patriots - yes, Bill Belichick - ranked next to last.  Players felt Bill wasted their time and didn't listen to the locker room.  And, as usual, teams are salty over the results.  Fact is, though, the surveys get results.  Jacksonville was trashed last year by players, mainly because of rats(!) in the locker area.  They ranked 5th this year.

Most of the Pittsburgh sports media is blaming Pitt for the Steelers low score, even though the Stillers lowest grades have nothing to do with the practice facility. Players over the years though have said the Pitt side of the building is a lot more up to date and plush compared to the Steelers side, that's not on Pitt that's on Art Rooney II.

There is a growing sense that the NFL owners will adopt a version of the XFL kickoff prior to the start of the season (either at the meetings in a few weeks or at the meetings in May)

Troy Vincent said on PFT Live that he believes they will get the 24 votes needed

For those who have never seen it

More proof in how dumb the combine is:  apparently Tom Brady ran a faster 40 this year than the year he was drafted.  Unless he has been hanging out with Frank Thomas and Doug Fiutie recently, something is fishy

[Kevin Wilson]

The funny part is the UFL is not using the XFL kick off method but is going back to a more traditional version. No idea why, I think the XFL method both cuts down on injuries and is interesting/encouraged returns.
