The NFL Thread

We are now at the inevitable pay them off stage with Watson. 20 will receive money, 4 will be dismissed. Vile creature, who'll now be banned, but I doubt it'll be for long enough.

Edit not dismissed still ongoing including the original plaintiff

Banned for the season I read today.

Lucky he's not going to jail.

 

[Tony Towner]

Given the cynical nature of the NFL I bet he gets 8 games. They don't have any Prime Time games scheduled after that

No decision yet on possible suspension. To be decided by an independent disciplinary officer - who was jointly chosen by NFL and NFLPA. NFL hopes for one year suspension and for final decision by the end of July.

Not sure how much testimony she has heard from actual 'victims', and no criminal proceedings launched, so feasibly the suspension could be less.

 

[Tony Towner]

His £40m pa is fully guaranteed against suspension because of the way the contract is structured. That'll make the Browns look really stupid

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Plus the Texans paid him to do nothing last season.

Imagine not showing up to work for a year and then getting a raise.

Gronk retires again.

The inevitable Mayfield to the Panthers deal is happening and they play each other week 1

 

[Alan]

Very interested to see how the locals will react to that...

 

[Dire Wolf]

Panthers got a great deal. Mayfield isn't that bad a QB.

Hindsight being 20/20, but it makes the Wentz deal to Washington look even more comical

Baker doesn't really solve Carolina's biggest issues, though. Those being a pish offensive line and the fact that McCaffrey can't stay healthy for more than half a season.

True but Mayfield has the ability to be a top 20 QB. Darnold doesn't.

Baker being relatively mobile and able to throw on the run does help the former.

Arizona are overpaying Murray at $46m pa imo

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Not the best QB in the NFL, but the Cardinals won't get anyone better.

 

[Alan]

After last season, I'd way rather have Jimmy G than Murray.

If the season ended in November
