I can imagine the Patriots trying to find some way to trade him to replace Brady. Probably would cost half their roster and about ten million years of draft picks.

 

[Tony Towner]

They are offering Brady another $30m deal. The challenge the Chiefs will have as with any side with a franchise quarterback is when they have to pay him and balance that with the needs around him. He's going to get a record contract either this Summer or next depending on how they choose to play it

Mahomes is a generational talent but he puts himself in stupid situations. IMO he may end up as a sort of über-deluxe RG3; his body won't maintain this level of play into his mid 30s with the way he takes hits.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He is a HELL of a lot better than RG3, to be fair.

I'd say that applies more to Lamar. I can't see him still being in the league beyond 30, more of a running back than quarterback timeframe

In total agreement there.

Also agree that Lamar Jackson's window of success is also probably exceptionally short.

Yeah and re-set up.

A couple of new rules for XFL which will make it interesting, but not sure I want to upset my wife by watching for a couple more months.

[Paddingtonwolf]

Generous for Washington. We are crap.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

They're all bunched. A couple of teams - inc Washington - are likely to get less than 5.5. At least two will get more than 11.5

 

[Tony Towner]

Generous for Washington. We are crap.

SF went from number two Draft Pick to the Superbowl, by picking a DE out of Ohio State, Washington are likely to pick a DE out of Ohio State at number 2 in Chase Young. They have a very good defensive coach so that side of the ball will be good. They are in a division where all the teams 'should' be stronger, but ultimately it'll come down to what they have in Haskins. If he is the real deal, I have my doubts, then I can see them being a progressive 8-8 side
