NFL: 2020 NFL off-season news & notes discussion thread (Cowboys & Texans players have COVID-19)

[Soli]

Figured I'd post this here.

I'm trying to find a meme I saw back at the NFL draft. It's this meme:

But it's Brady yelling, Gronk holding him back, and instead of the smug cat, it's Belichick's dog Nike.

It's all greyscale, and available on a shirt.

I've done a rough and dirty google search and twitter is pretty poor for looking back at your timeline, so I figured I'd try and ask here.

...he joined Twitter recently, wonder if Frank's Red Hot wrote this or if he's funny like his brother.

I always got the impression he's good at dad jokes and thats about it but maybe we'll find out now that he has spare time.

So they’re getting rid of PI reviews, what’s the reasoning? I didn’t realize it wasn’t liked, is it because there’s more stoppages?

Their standard for most of the season was not to overturn the call unless it was Blatant.

then it seemed to have changed later in the year.

but fans and coaches seemed to want calls made that were between blatant To close plays called which the NFL never intended the rule to do.

so teams were just wasting a challenge and timeout.

Actually, I think the problem was there never was a consistent standard.

That's unfortunate.. there needs to be some way to get the ball back.

Another thing to add to the list of why I'm cheering for coach Flores.

Did not realize Wentz had that many endorsements.

Former NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart: Vikings should sign Colin Kaepernick - ProFootballTalk

I don't know how Minnesota signing a QB who hasn't played in 4 years is going to help anything, but good to know Lockhart pointed out the obvious

“Kaepernick was not blocked because the league wanted to punish him for setting off the protests,”

With Cousins having remained healthy the past 2 seasons, I don't even know who their Backup is at this point. I think Minnesota would have been a good landing spot for Josh Rosen with one of their recent late round picks in rounds 5-7. 2 years left on his rookie contract to see what he has.

As for Kaep, that's also assuming he's fine accepting a backup role for a $1 mill salary. And how they view their QB room with Cousins and whether as a team they can handle any QB controversy as they know what they have in Cousins and he is still inconsistent from time to time with his performances. Based on the contract, they are committed to him through this season, but also in 2021 as they restructured his contract adding another season.

Pretty shocked that Federer is #1

I was always under impression that Rinaldo or a David Beckham was most marketable star worldwide (I think Beckham used to be up there at least)

Yeah whether you agree with what he did or not it's beside the point, he hasn't played in forever and he wasn't exactly an elite player at the point SF let him go in the first place. For the journalists it's all about the clicks. Writing about CK will generate clicks.

CK wasn't any good when he left. But some of the Niners fans here will tell you different.

The reason CK is not signed is not a conspiracy by NFL clubs as retribution for his protests. It is because he cannot play football at a NFL level.

Drew Brees, you hate to see it.

NFL even went out of their way to give him a try out last year. He ditched them at the last minute when they wouldn't agree to anymore of his unnecessary changes (after already agreeing to some) then wonders why nobody will sign him.

Anyways, the other poster is right. Simple click bait.

At least he's straight up honest with his views.

Then you have guys like LeBron who say they are for human rights & everything yet cower in fetal position when it comes to China because their people make him a lot of money.

He can play football at a NFL level though, it's just not high enough to be worth the media circus that follows him around and that would be dialed up to 10 now with everything going on.

And no team without an unquestioned top of the line starter can sign him, otherwise the calls for CK will be shouted from the rooftops the moment the incumbent starter throws a bad pass. Cousins' gets scrutinized enough, he doesn't need to be looking over his shoulder at Kaepernick on top of it.

Thomas made his choice.

Brees is certainly entitled to his opinion but time and place man...really not a good time. Not sure you could find a worse time to be honest

Yeah the backlash on Brees is big right now.
