My hatred for Tom diminished a bit when he left for Tampa. My hatred for Brady diminished by A LOT when he and the Bucs whooped the new "golden boy" Mahomes in the SB.

If Cook continues to put up 1,100yds on the ground and 500yds receiving, he may price himself out of our range. I can't see us giving $10M or more per year to a RB. For those saying Ray Davis will be his replacement, that is yet to be determined by any sort of play on the field. I'm almost certain we will have drafted at least one more RB in the middle rounds by then as well. We'll see when the time comes, but for now we have Cook for two more year. Possibly three if we use the FT.

Tyreek Hill and Stefon Diggs looking at their contracts like... Good for Jefferson, though. Everyone knew he would reset the market.

Some teammate this guy is. That could have gone to the Rashee Rice "Go Fund Me" for his lawyer fees.

So Stefon is there, but Stefan is still m.i.a.?

Tee Higgins and Brandon Aiyuk both sitting back like...

Where is Airseven anyway? I feel like I haven't seen him on here in quite some time.

And we let Mac Jones have the best game of his career against us, while taking an L, last year as well.

Tua's family squaring up

This deal makes me wonder if they play hardball with Tua and look to go a different route next year.

It wouldn't hurt for the competition at least. He had 9.5 sacks for Indy in 2022. It also seems like the type of move we would make at this point, if it is available. He and Floyd are both similar in size, though Floyd was always better against the run than Ngakoue. What say you TSW? https://sports.yahoo.com/yannick-ngakoue-hopes-establish-himself-004147330.html

In steps Leonard Floyd for the 49ers in a week 1 matchup versus the Jets, on Monday night, 2 days short of one year.

Roger Goodell and the rest of the owners be like... And before all of the typicals start saying, "It's a business, of course they're trying to make the most money." There are lines they can cross which compromise the integrity of the game. There has already been talk of things being "predetermined" without their involvement in the gambling scene. Now it just seems like an open season of opportunity with how much $$$ is involved.

Word is Rashee Rice was on the way to deliver the pizza

In steps @Billl in defense of the next Chiefs player

Royce West: "Boy, you better get out there and do some things in the community to make yourself look better." Rashee Rice: "Say no more fam, I got you."

He's already skipping OTA's. He might go full Antonio Brown/Raiders now.

Sign draft picks and keep the rest in the bank for in-season moves. We only have like $2M in room right now. We're not trading for anyone of importance. What you see is what you get at this point.

We already know how Josh can carve up the intermediate to deep parts of the field when the opportunity is there. I don't expect him to forsake that by any means. But if we can get Josh processing like Burrow did at LSU, and he starts shredding teams underneath, he's basically gonna be unstoppable.

New system, stepping into a league where everyone is the best of the best, and new people to throw the ball to. It will take him some time to get used to the difference in the speed of the game, the tighter windows, and getting to know his teammates. He'll be fine.

Agreed on the bold

If only Antonio could have lost his wallet like you

Sponsor deals from who? Nexium for causing heartburn? Excedrin for being a headache? Preparation H for being a pain in the bum?

If this is sort of an "excused absence" then I don't really see anything big about it. It is voluntary. Still, you would think that someone going to a new team, and has this "stigma" around them as to being a head case and a potential problem, would want to put their best foot forward. That he would also want to get in as much work around and with his new teammates as possible. Apparently not. It could be something, or it could be nothing.

Oh, yeah, I don't know enough about any football player outside of football to be able to say "he definitely could" or anything like that. Most of them have only been football players since they finished HS. You don't really see the two way players like that much anymore. They typically focus on one thing now, and I believe partially because of how the seasons overlap one another. It's much easier for a football player to also double up in baseball. I also agree that Zion, physically, could probably play, but he is often injured even on the basketball court. Westbrook and Rose could likely have played WR or one of the DB positions. They said LeBron was good as a WR in HS, I've seen some of the old videos, and he probably could have been an elite TE in the NFL. Anthony Edwards seems like he's athletic enough to play WR in the NFL. Charlie Ward was a better QB than he was a PG, but still played for 12 years in the NBA. In all, I'm sure there are some exceptions when you take into account the number of players in each sport. Guys who might be able to play the other. It doesn't mean they would be top shelf in the other sport, just that they could make a roster. Using Gates as a cross-reference to generalize all of them is grasping at straws. It's not that easy and not everyone is built where they could be as successful as he was.
