The NFL Thread

[The Bear]

Jalen Ramsey finally gets his wish and is traded to the Rams. Two first round picks and a fourth round. Seems a bit expensive.

The Rams also ship CB Marcus Peters to the Ravens for a linebacker. I thought they'd have kept him with Talib on IR.

 

[Tony Towner]

He's better than anyone the Rams are going to draft in the low 20's, but they are gambling on a significant salary cap increase in the next CBA given what they will have to pay him once he's off his initial contract, whilst also paying Donald and Goff

Off to Buffalo on Friday, going to the Bills v Dolphins game.

 

[The Bear]

Nice. Likely be a complete blowout though.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Yeah, we're not going just for the game though, spending 3 days in Toronto and a day at the Falls so the game is part of the experience. The Bills apparently is the best tailgate in the NFL so that is also part of the fun.

 

[Tony Towner]

Not sure what the Falls is like on the US side, on the Canadian it's Blackpool with mist.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Mahomes looks to have a dislocated right knee. Could be a few weeks, possibly season-ending.

 

[Alan]

Moore is about as solid of a backup as you can ask for in the NFL. Still a big blow for KC, though.

Sanu traded to pats for 2nd rounder (so basically 3rd). He’s not worth a 1st so not much more you can get.

Hopefully some mug takes Beasley off us for a 4th

If you can find a home for Agholor while you are at it

That's bad, I didn't realise he'd thrown Wentz under the bus by saying the ball was out of position. I imagine he's popular with his teammates today.

Wentz isn't popular with the WR corp in general, two seasons running when the season is going south and anonomous source (Alshon Jeffrey) criticises him in the media. Last year it was passing too much to Ertz, this year throwing too many deep balls - even though the stats don't back it up.

As for Agholor he's gash. Totally lost the ball for what would have been the winning touchdown against Atlanta as well. A defeat which looks worse by the week. Also fumbled leading to a TD against the Lions

Cole Beasley?.

Vic Beasley. Pass rusher who watches the QB from 5 yards away.

Bears have signed Brent Urban, former Raven

 

[Tony Towner]

He was on the street and last at the Titans

 

[Tony Towner]

Can he throw?

Little bit of noise in the Bears being interested in trading for Foles who returns to training this week. Can't see it myself, bit early to be 100% sure what Minshew is going to be.

 

[darlowolf64]

Just the fact that there are rumours about moving on from the MT experiment give me hope.

Me too... Stick him to back up and let him learn from someone who knows what they're doing!

 

[James]

Can he throw?

No

Cam Newton "link" now... No smoke without fire?

 

[PuntsWolf]

Can newton massively overrated. His throwing average at best, obviously makes plays on ground too though
