As a Browns fan, I must say this REALLY sucks.

it makes giving up and signing trubisky seem kinda honorable
i don't think the steelers could justify replacing one abusive asshole qb with another
as for mitch, good luck behind that offensive line

Trubisky might have a bit more talent than shown and maybe with the right place he might be good. It hasn't been a thing as much in the last decade or two in the era of 'superquarterbacks' but there is a pretty long standing history of QBs figuring it out later on.
Trubisky reminds me quite a bit of Rich Gannon in a way. I don't know if he will figure it out and be able to use those athletic skills, but it 'could happen' and the Steelers are about as stable as you can get in the NFL as a franchise.
I have always thought that people really under-estimate the luck of being on the right team when it comes to success in the NFL.
Steelers O-line stinks now, but it might not next year. Getting rid of Bigdollar BigBen salary should help on that somewhat.
I kinda hope Baker Mayfield goes to the Colts.
Bears are going to stick with Justin Fields, but Chicago already had the greatest Buckeye QB in Mike Tomczak and I don't think Fields will even end up as good as him (definitely won't last as long in the NFL).

Wentz having to go back to Philly playing for the Hatcats should be good for a laugh. Dude is mistake prone as all get out. If you can lead the league in rushing, he might be your guy but I don't think he is even as good as Jimmy G. in that respect.

Uhhh what
Blockbuster: Packers are trading Pro-Bowl WR Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for two prime 2022 picks, league sources tell ESPN.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 17, 2022

I don’t really understand this move from either side. The Packers got a good haul but are trying to sell out to win a title the next 3-4 years and the way they do that is through their insane passing offense. Their best guy now is uh…Lazard? Are they gonna make a run at OBJ and his torn ACL? For the Raiders idk if this puts them over the top and “the best receiver in football” probably will not look as hot going from Rodgers to Carr. In fact none of Rodgers’ receivers looked all that good on other teams. Maybe Adams will turn out to be durable but this contract is probably gonna look really bad in a couple years. Oh well, I wish him the best of luck

Makes sense to me. The Raiders lost their best receiver to vehicular manslaughter so they needed a guy.

Sure but that’s the kind of trade/contract you give out when you think you’re only one guy away
― frogbs, Friday, 18 March 2022 01:01 (two years ago) link
I guess Carr and Adams did have a pretty good connection in college but that was like 8 years ago
― frogbs, Friday, 18 March 2022 01:05 (two years ago) link
GB has to pay Rodgers, so they cut costs.
Raiders still playing by Al's rules...gotsta have speed on the outside baby...Cliff Branch etc. Not like it matters much, they are not going to go anywhere.

Davante Adams was like a brother to Aaron Rodgers, so this trade makes sense.— Mike Beauvais (@MikeBeauvais) March 17, 2022

very classy
Important contract note for Deshaun Watson, who got a 5-year, $230M contract. His base salary for 2022 is $1M, which means if he’s suspended, it’ll come out of that base.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 18, 2022

WTF are the Chiefs doing???

saving some cash, getting some picks.

He's really good but at some point you got to re-load. They probably got a fair amount of cash also tied up with Travis Kelce.
Brown's suck for trading for Watson.
I think Baker Mayfield is getting a bit more of the blame than perhaps is warranted. He's not great and may never be, but that club is also obviously run by a bunch of clueless ding dongs. Whatever man...
― earlnash, Thursday, 24 March 2022 00:30 (two years ago) link
I like Baker and wanna give him the benefit of the doubt - he was clearly playing injured a lot of last year - but he also made some really boneheaded decisions. Like Mark Sanchez-esque. I wanna say getting off the Browns might help but that hasn’t exactly worked for their last 40 quarterbacks
― frogbs, Thursday, 24 March 2022 01:22 (two years ago) link
It would be rich if Mayfield did end up with the Steelers if Cleveland cuts him.
That would be worth seeing.
― earlnash, Thursday, 24 March 2022 02:47 (two years ago) link
would love him in the burgh tbh

so tom brady’s plan was to fake retire, become an executive with the dolphins, bring in sean payton to coach, then unretire but the brian flores lawsuit blew everything up https://t.co/YsEq5JfQJz pic.twitter.com/HkZTDRM3tm— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) April 12, 2022
