Russell Okung's contract contains zero guaranteed money. So he basically decided to take a long-term, big money contract over a lesser deal that at least included some guranteed money.
I mean, I guess I have to applaud him for being willing to bet on himself like that but for a guy with his injury history it probably would have been better for him to guarantee himself some sort of income. He could shred his knee in training camp and wind up never making another cent in the NFL. Very risky. |

He was his own agent in the deal. Right now, he's in on a 1-year $5 mil. deal with a 4-5 year $48 mil. team option after that.
Pretty good deal for both sides, imo. If he proves his worth, he's here for the long term. If not, thanks for the year. |

Titans are open to trading the #1 pick the draft. But they want the ol' King's Ransom deal.

Supposedly last year the Eagles offered the Titans their 2015 1st and 2nd rounders, their 2016 1st rounder, and the choice of both any QB on the roster AND any defensive player on the roster in order to trade up for Mariota, and the Titans still said no.
Seems retarded on both sides, the Eagles for even offering it and the Titans for not taking it. They could have taken a stud on defense like Fletcher Cox and used Bradford or Sanchez as a stopgap while drafting a guy like Brett Hundley later and still having high draft picks to spare. |

I hope Cowboys maybe trade their pick to a team like Tampa at 9. Only if that safety is gone though, I'm not in love with Bosa. Ezekiel Elliot at 9 would be fantastic

Johnny Rehab hires NFL superagent Drew Rosenhaus.
Figured even HE would be smart to stay away from him. But I guess if you're desperate for a job, he's the guy to go to. |

The Lions would have to release Calvin's contract rights in order for that to happen. If he unretires his contract is still Lions property.
Same thing happened with Barry Sanders. Took a year off, his agent asked the Lions to release him (presumably so he could unretire and sign elsewhere) and they rightly refused. |

2 personal fouls lead to ejection, and touchbacks go out to the 25 now.

It should be a judgement call by the officials as opposed to just a straight "two personal fouls and you're out" rule. If a guy is going out of his way to hit people after the play multiple times, he should be ejected. If he happens to get called for a facemask in the first quarter and then sacks the QB a bit low in the 4th quarter, an ejection seems silly.

I don't get moving the touchback 5 yards up. What purpose does that serve? Just a small way to encourage more scoring or something? Meh.

Touchbacks going to the 25 is fucking stupid, especially considering it's impossible NOT to have touchbacks in a place like Denver.

Oh, I guess it could be another way to encourage taking a touchback instead of running the ball out to lessen the chance of injury.
Still not a fan though. |

If that's their goal then just fucking get rid of them altogether. It's like they're only keeping kickoffs in just to appease traditionalists at this point but these rules make it pointless to even do them.

Think the stuff Talib pulled in the Superbowl under the new rules still wouldn't have lead to an ejection for him as an example. |

Can't get rid of them cause of Onside kick attempts. Would pretty much end all comebacks.

In the wake of the Rams being chosen for this season of Hard Knocks, there's a report going around that the Rams were scheduled to do the show in 2014 but made a deal with the NFL to draft Michael Sam so the league could avoid the negative publicity of the first openly gay draft prospect not being picked. |

Moving the ball to the 25 will encourage kickers to try to pin it within the 5 so they have to run it.
