They’re an improvement from what they were using. As always, everyone is best served going back to what they had in the distant past. But anyone who doesn’t like them will forget that they do after about 10 minutes.

Not a big fan of the Oregon Ducks style of so many different helmet and uniform options.
I got the throwback jerseys for Seattle, as those were cool, same with Philly's kelly green ones.

But, I had liked the NFL's consistent set of uniforms.

NBA, now, teams have how many different jerseys? Like 4 or 5 it seems?
NHL is also pretty bad with these constant new jerseys they introduce.

Wondering what chase, Jefferson and lamb is going to get now.

Wondering what chase, Jefferson and lamb is going to get now.

The key part is the $77 mill guaranteed which averages $26 mill per. Don’t expect him to truly get $120 mill over 4 years.

Poor Burrow

Dynasty for Chiefs

Higgins wants to be paid like a number 1 receiver, don't think he will get it in Cincinnati.

Not sure they'll be able to afford it. But if he plays on the tag, it'll be everyone's best chance to win and make loot.

Hendrickson is 29, so not surprising that they might not want to give him more than 1 or 2 more years. You have to turn over talent.

Chase is due for a raise, they want to keep Burrow/Chase for years to come.
As for Hendrickson, he wants to get a long term deal but doubt the Bengals will give it to him as he's approaching 30 with miles on him.

Part of the deal when you sign a top of market QB contract.

You can still do business better

It feels like Bengals are actively trying to hurt their SB chances

I don’t necessarily disagree, but I believe they’re telling both of them “too bad” and hanging on to them this year for one more kick at the can. Bengals ownership has - traditionally - been pretty cheap. I’m sure they plan on paying Chase in addition to Burrow and filling out the roster with cheaper options everywhere else. Just the reality of having a couple stars.

Rather deal with the chaos prehand than too late

Bengals could/could have had such a long compete window, they are trying to rush something that wasn’t there

Trade Higgings when his value is at the highest and try to replace him with one of your draft picks, develop them like the Chiefs

Bowers dropping for them would be fun as heck

‘Let the coach and GM pick’: Panthers owner pays Charlotte restaurant surprise visit before draft

Tepper is a loser of the highest order. I hope the fans keep sticking it to him with how much it clearly bothers him. They’re stuck with this dope and that’s a hopeless feeling, but at least you know he’s deeply offended by any slight.

It's amazing how insecure he is with how much money he has.

A meddling owner will f*** over a franchise. See Snyder, Dan.

Or that with that kind of money, he allows this stuff to bother him. I mean, very few people would know his name if he didn't own an NFL team. If he can't handle the spotlight, don't buy an NFL team or at least not be a majority owner.

What's the old saying? Better to be rich than rich and famous.

I've always known that the ones who are rich, keep it chill, low and quiet.
The flashy ones always complain, spend above their means and constantly made bad investments.

Sadly we're past of the point of him being Snyder 2.0.

I've been alive and in Charlotte for the entirety of the teams existence. There were low moments in the Richardson era but this dude has done one good thing that everyone liked, and that was put the Panthers logo at midfield instead of having the NFL shield, and this was 2018. It's been downhill since

Pretty much the senile Al Davis years, that was rock bottom for the Raiders. Mark Davis isn't the same football savant like his dad but he tries.

Are we gonna have dudes wearing clouds on their heads?

They cant design a better helmet with more padding on inside and of better materials to absorb hits?

There should be automatic flag for anyone who wears those who then drops helmet when defender goes to make tackle

If you want to wear this to have "Extra protection" then I better not see that same player lowering his helmet when defenders try to make tackle
