This is an Ossweiller trade. But I don’t think there is even a way with the dead cap rules to trade away the cost anymore like in the old days.

Both Aiyuk and Trent held the niners front office hostage last year and stole the bag from every one of their teammates. Sure there is no love lost in the Locker room. Makes me even more grateful for what Benford, Shakir, Bernard, Rousseau and Allen have done the last few months.

I really thought someone would give Cooper the bag and that he’d be making a lot more than Diggs coming off the ACL. His production for the Bills was limited but important, and enough to force defenses to cover the boundaries. We do not beat the chiefs in the regular season without Cooper. Maybe he’s decided to call it a career unless someone makes an offer he can’t refuse. Problem is no one has any money at this stage. I’m sure he’s been offered at least 15 given what an injured Diggs got.

Bills signed three solid but non-max contract starters to second contracts. That is not seen that often these days, though I’m not sure how it compares overall to the strategy of letting solid players go and harvesting compensatory picks.

Makes me wonder what cooper has turned down thus far

Wonder if he could have had another elite year or three if they did not have to run on that concrete like all the artificial surfaces were in the 70s. My knees hurt just watching the tape.

This Week in Pro Football by NFL films which ran from about 1967 to 1975 and which recently dropped for free on YouTube was quite a production, complete with Sam Spence orchestra backing. The entire series seems to have been preserved.

Maybe we should sign this Hendrison guy that beat him

His best bet for having any kind of cash out in 2026 is to sign asap for whatever is offered, work his way into the lineup and put up 800 yards. Don’t know if his knee will allow that but he’s always been a workout warrior.

Beane’s hole-plugging is way more expensive than many teams, including the Ravens, who wait for the bargain opportunities to appear on the free agent market.

I have to believe someone like the Pats and/or Bills threw 15 at him the first days of free agency, now all the money is gone, and he is getting low ball numbers and he’s considering calling it a career.

More Washingtonian in size

Don’t panic and give away valuable picks to move up a few slots in the first. How has that worked out so far.

No one is signing Diggs in 2025 until late in the year, and that’s doubtful. It nearly the identical age and injury and class of player as the Odell Beckham injury in 2021. Beckham did not not play at all in 2022 after he limped into the Jets facility in the December 2022 timeframe. He only made it back in 2023 and was never close to being the same, though he was okay for the Ravens in 2023, like a wr4.

Nothing is screaming out abandoning faith in zone coverage, microdtackles and microlinebackers.
