Alrighty then

did he even know he was live?

 

[TheGreenTBer]

did he even know he was live?

That's my question as well, and if not it's definitely a dick move on Sharpe's part.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Given where undisputed is filmed, that might straight up be a felony if Julio didn't know lol.

California is a two party consent state.

 

[StreetHawk]

Atl can’t officially finalize a trade til June as they need to split his dead cap charge.

 

[Troy McClure]

Not that I consider myself a Cowboys expert or anything, but I think they should pause on adding high-cost offensive skill players until they shore up that defense.

The Cowboys already are overstocked at WR. They don't need another.

No one is going to jail for this. Come on.

Agreed. Considering it's the Cowboys you're always going to have players that want to play for the team but if they're adding significant cap it should be in an area of need, maybe CB or something.

f***ed up shit right here

Ex-Patriot Eugene Chung, looking to be an NFL head coach, says he was told, ‘You are not the right minority’ - The Boston Globe

Apparently he refuses to tell even the NFL who said it:

Eugene Chung on who told him he's "not the right minority": "It'll go with me to the grave" - ProFootballTalk

I definitely understand that from his POV.

I definitely understand that from his POV.

The teams that interviewed Chung should be doing their own internal investigation because if this occurs again, it's going to reflect poorly on that organization. NFL could find out which teams he met with and do their own investigation. Takes more time and resources, but this is something that the NFL should want to root out.

Indeed. Being proactive here is the right thing to do from both a moral and PR standpoint.

I think he made it up.

Which doesn’t mean Jerruh won’t do it.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Julio to SF. Make it happen, John

 

[Troy McClure]

For people freaking out about QB contracts signed in the past year, please note the cap will go up by $26 million from the 2021 to 2022 season and will only continue rocketing up afterwards.

A first round pick for Julio Jones would be an absolute steal for the Falcons.

I would think that if they could actually get a 1st for him they would have already done so, but I could be wrong.

No chance of that. Why? Because teams know that the Falcons can’t even sign their draft picks due to their cap situation. Jones has been hampered by injuries lately and likely he would be load managed in terms of practice.

best that they get IMO is a conditional pick that can upgrade to a 2nd. Julio is also a big contract.

Guys in the past like Owens, Boldin, etc went for mid round picks. Veteran players don’t command high draft picks.

Amari just went for a 1st a few years ago.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Parked a $250,000 car in an airport lot.

Titans' Jenkins has Rolls-Royce stolen from lot

if I was the insurance company I would deny the claim for being an idiot

Cooper was on his rookie contract. Established veterans in their 30’s don’t have that trade value. NFL is a physically demanding sport. 30 year olds don’t get much value via trade. Maybe an OL and even that Duane Brown landed a 2nd and 3rd. Pretty much every other position depends on physical skills in terms of speed and agility. Any drop in that is a big deal for a player.

mack, Ramsey, Adams, Tunsil each landed 2 first rounders. Last 3 on rookie deal. Mack finished his 4 year rookie deal but wasn’t going to play on the 5th year option. Minkah Fitzpatrick went for a first also on his rookie deal.

And he used the Economy lot, you'd think you could shell out the extra 20 or so bucks a day for a quarter million dollar ride

Reports seem to be that the Falcons have an offer of a 1st round pick on the table. Draft picks ain’t what they used to be in the sense that if you think you can win then you need to push chips to the middle and go for it, because you’re not guaranteed next year.

Matt Stafford is 33 ,nowhere near as good a QB as Jones is as a WR and he got 2 #1's and a starting QB.
