Here we go with this argument again LOL an all time low around here hahahaha

The facility? Dunno. Been KC is one of the more drug rattled cities in the midwest. I dont think thats an odd request from Reid LOL its what id ask for, especially if not knowing what the cause was

Why would Carolina do this is my question. You have a pretty make or break year with a young guy you took #1 overall, who looked to have righted the ship last year. Year 3 was the year Josh went from an interesting player, to obvious franchise piece. No way Id part with Thielen, a guy who he had great chemistry with, if Im Carolina. Whats the upside of a Thielen Trade? 6th rounder? Nah, beat feet Minny

In fairness, as a fan I would prefer this mentality. Its a competitive league. Im not saying full on Bounty Program or Spygate, but if there are grey areas to get any type of advantage in..... yes, game the system.

Hes g2 be coming up in contract, where they know they cant/wont retain him. Especially if theyre trying to finagle room for Scary Terry. *Edit* Second thought, isn't he from the DC Area and got shot rookie off season. I never heard anything about him being a part of anything shady, but maybe hes got some street beefs for affiliating (or refusing to affiliate) with the wrong crowd. Fully speculative, but reasonable question IMO. #2 could be fully off base, or it could be some combo of thought #1&2

That can happen in a 5 on 5 sport with a shallow roster, and the ability of one star to change a franchises future for 10+ years. A franchise qb can have a huge effect on a franchise, but nowhere near the effect one FA signing in NBA can afford. Look no further than Burrow! If league hard resets today, hes a top 3 pick. Sure they've benefited from him... but compare his effect to the NBA. How many singular guys could sing be more valuable to a teams future, compared to his on an NFL team. There's got to be 30+ guys in the NBA that would change a franchises win% more than a Burrow does the NFL. Its never happening.

The implication is implied- flashy black man. Not exactly a new phenomenon for the nfl to decide worth exposing its arse over. Where'd he "hear" this? Deion? 😂

LOL ok Grampa Dickerson

I'll listen if some of them are pick swaps. 3 firsts --- we get back 2nd & 3rd, type deal. Its ~ a half round trade-down (end of 1st & mid 2nd)

Thanks Augie!! I remember sharing something a bit personal about my struggles w Addiction on TBD in 2018-2019... shortly afterwards I had a DM from you, sharing some of what you'd been through. I didnt get clean/sober until some time later on - Jan 5, 2020. I had a handful of moments similar to that act of kindness, that always stuck with me!!! Once I got to NA/AA I was familiar with the lengths ppl who have seen/experienced those struggles will go to just to try and help them! Done being mushy, but a quote I hear/heard in meetings that always stuck with me is "we'll love you, until you learn to love yourself." None of us know anything at all about Reid, or what type of parent he is/was. One of my tightest homies grew up in a home with 2 *active* heroin addict parents. His earliest memories are seeing them passed out on the couch together, needle still hanging out. Or waking up in his car seat, to find them both passed out at the wheel.... car absolutely freezing cause it ran out of gas, and not being able to wake them up. He grew up to get a wife and 4 kids, owns a huge car dealership, and never touched a drug harder than a 45lb barbell plate!!! Buffalo is rampant with opiate problems. Everyone should be familiar enough with the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma to realize those dirtballs had as many normal folks, as they did drug-seekers hooked on Oxy. If not check out the show 'Dopesick' w/ Michael Keaton (Hulu). My point is there were/are literal MILLIONS of people who've had no prior drug use history, that became causalities of the opiate epidemic. EFF THE MONEY-LIZARD SACKLER FAMILY!

I didnt even notice this. 'Sal' is Capaccio, the other guy needs 'Sal M.' or something, feels like unofficial rule. FAWK. Was hoping this was a nothing burger

Please God dont let this be true. We def dont deserve it, but damn, if anybody deserves it less than us it is Tre White himself!! Dude belongs on the new Wall of Fame when its all over... I know he doesnt have the longevity, but hes sure AF done enough in the community and was a pivitol piece in our franchise turning around both on and off the field. Prayers up for Tre!!!!

these are contradicting..... which is it?

Anybody remember what kinda shape Mack's contract was in when this deal went down? Was he needing new deal immediately at trade? Just wondering how well the parameters match up. I'm doing this in a heartbeat, especially because one or both of those 1st rd'ers would be 31 or 32. Heres a guide... our last 6 1st rd selections: 1. Hairston 2.Elam 3. Rousseau 4. Ed Oliver 5. Josh Allen / Tremaine Edmunds Aside from Josh, pick any combination of the best two you can come up with..... which combination are you NOT trading for Parsons. Literally, id trade all 5 guys not named Josh for Parsons.... soooooo what does that tell you about the draft compensation? Also, EVERY single one of these selections was higher than the picks we'd give up, some of them significantly higher (ed @ 9th, Edmunds @ 17th). Alternative thought experiment: pick two players from any round/year from all of Beane's picks..... theres no combination (maybe one) of cherry-picked players not worth Parsons..... your best two picks is probably what.... Benford/Rousseau would be the best two, and while that would hurt.... I dont know that you could immediately hang up the phone on that offer... im not advocating for that trade, just a thought experiment on the lofty expectations we have out of a Mack type trade.... we're not getting ripped off by any stretch

If you suck at drafting/scouting/developing a position, doesnt it make sense to make that position a priority via FA or trade? Everyone complaining about Parsons/McLaurin/Hendrickson cost, when in reality, not only would we get a bonafide SuperStar, but we could stop spinning our wheel at DL or WR. I know we havent drafted a ton of WR's, but we've certainly spent enough bargain bin $$ failing to address the position meaningfully. As for DL, it feels like we've unsuccessfully used two-thirds of our picks on that unit with not much to show. I am a huge Beane fan, but damn this eats me up.... we're not getting enough out of the position, we're spending resources heavily. Time to get out of purgatory, get the elite production we need, and it's a one time investment instead of recurring.

My brother in Christ..... what? No GM is letting the Diggs BS in the last year overshadow what that trade did for this franchise and Josh. If 13 seconds doesnt happen I think we'd have got our first ring... thats not even counting the 2 other very productive years out of Stef.

Smells like Kadarius Toney to me! LOL kidding, but also a little serious

Dude looks like a moderately respectable writer from his LinkedIn ; however, this is a thought of his, not a report

AFC Team at that!!!!!! Not contenders but Cinci is desperate, dumb and cheap! Call em up!!!

I agree in theory to most of your post points, but DE's tend to play into a deeper age at high levels, more than maybe any position. Could be because they are 'hardier' boys by nature

Prime?? Maybeeee, but he could % have more ceiling than he has now.... not to mention he's the type i could see bringing extra gas to the table after feeling disrespected. Thats a guy I want on my team. Oliver + premium pick is my starting offer.... id throw in a Knox or Kincaid if interested. And yes, Im also on the record for Mclaurin too.... i want another big piece if possible. Id MUCH rather Parsons, but would give a healthy offer for Scary Terry too

How many PS spots are there? Just curious as to how important each is... I know theyre important, but a # would help gauge for me. Im not worried about it, but if the guy was a good kicker in college i could understand stashing him, developing, and having him in the wings if Bass goes loopy again... or possibly next year if needing to cut Bass. Having a guy on could give us a cushion and trust level with staff.... pretty crucial for a SB contender with a very good kicker, but one who could go either way after having the yips a year ago Again, not necessarily in fear of losing this dude i dunno much about, just playing devils advocate a bit for why i could see a K making a PS

I got some breaking news she can have.... BONKKKKKKK!!! Trade the picks, eat the salary, ask for Scary Terry + however many low end picks, as we gave up in high end picks. 1st for Terry + 5th/6th 2nd & 3rd (maybe stagger the years) for Terry 6th + 7th The answer is win it all, and draft better going forward!

I've seen this twice, and I just dont believe its true. Speculation obviously... but he did the Bussin with the Boys Podcast last week, and I remember him talking aboiut it and saying how well that DL looked and Von was his old self until that Detroit field. I think these guys get seasoned to protect themselves against bad beats. It was the right move, but it didnt work out. I'd do that deal over and over again. 85 out of 100 times it works..... and those are odds you should ALWAYS be willing to roll the dice on. A BAD GM would see that situation and be scared to pull the trigger again

Whoa, whats this about??
