Aussie Joe

I’m very happy for Josh … fantastic player and well deserved this year …also seems like a pretty good human being.., I hope he wins a championship though … which would be a much bigger deal

Even though the entire collection of Bills big dogs are there along with Josh’s family, and Lamar isn’t there … I still can’t bring myself to believe he will win … probably go to Saquan

The last line is the main issue …could see players being visibly disappointed when drafted by an international team, and then breaking their necks to get out of Dodge as quick as they can come free agency ., Even London is tough …especially for them, having to travel to the US for half their games .,.. We all complain here about the Bills having to travel once every couple of years - imagine doing it 8 times a year ... Maybe by 2040 there is a leap in air travel that can halve the travel times ….its still a big ask even if that was the case …

So 8 teams based internationally ? Seems a lot to me …

Not so sure about that ..although the NFL would love it ..

Miami did need an edge though and they took one in what was a very limited edge class …much more restricted than the WR class,,,He might not still be there at 28… It’s easy to be sitting here a year later saying with the benefit of hindsight what they should have done to be more aggressive ….happens every year ..

Probably it will be the Cardinals out of those teams ,,, which will be a bit of a disappointment… might have to see who the NFC North team is …

I remember feeling numb after that moment of the Seahawks SB loss ….so no doubt the feelings of actual Seahawks fans would have been multiples worse … Still ,,,they at least won it the year before

Beane might have been willing to ,,..would the Dolphins ? Didn’t Beane just get absolutely ridiculed for trading down with the Chiefs ? Again with these hypothetical discussions that happen every year …how do we know he didn’t call them and they declined ?

Of course they will “make it work”…. But there are other grounds that would have provided a more suitable experience for the crowd and sport of NFL than a gigantic cricket oval bigger than the baseball stadiums you refer to… I predict there will be considerable criticism about this when the game is played…but they obviously preferred the extra money from the extra 20,000 crowd and from the local State Government ( the same one that reneged on the Commonwealth games ) .. Apparently the deal in Australia is for three games ( to start with )

Everyone says it’s terrible …and that might be the case …but obviously the people that run the League ( the Owners ) are determined to keep building this …my prediction is that by 2040 at the latest all 32 teams will be taking a game internationally every year …that’s 16 games …

For the sake of $4m …I wouldn’t be trading Edwards ( no chance you just cut him - he has value considering Groy got a 5th last year ) ..particularly to promote someone unproven at the position … This is the best OL Josh has had in front of him …keep it together one more year

For cricket and Australian Rules football… Its terrible for sports played on a rectangle shaped field like Rugby League and Soccer….and no doubt NFL….. the crowd will be some distance from the playing area…

Spencer Brown was ordinary in his first two years as well

I actually discussed that Seahawks team last week with another poster …it’s one of the most talented D’s we have seen in recent decades … it wasn’t just the secondary …although that was elite … Here is an article about them …. Not easy to replicate … https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/news/revisiting-the-dominance-of-the-2013-seahawks-defense

a second ? No way !

Sucks … poor guy never had much of a chance due to injuries

Crosby isnt as likely to be traded though 😑

Raiders will get better .. Brady making decisions now instead of Bowl Cut

Ok… but pay him at the end of next season provided he maintains or even improves on his 2024 form …not this off season

Because teams never say one thing and do another right?

Couldn’t agree more …. If they take a DE at pick 30, even if they get lucky and he is elite, its likely he is going to take a year or two to reach his full potential…if he was elite already then he would be going in the top 10… I would give up a first and second for Crosby … even that probably doesn’t do it though ….

Thanks to the OP for all this work …. Much appreciated… Im a little low on the Bills first round pick … but it’s still early in the process 👍

I knew you were too smart to compare Taron & Milano with Kelce Mahomes and Jones
