  1. It already does and I suspect coming into a season fully healthy vs battling injuries last year will only make him better. I don’t believe there’s anything to make of it. It’s rare for guys to get extended this early. QBs are the only ones teams rush to sign before they even get to that fifth year of their rookie deal. It’s league standard. They’ve got three on offense and defense and two on special teams.
  2. He lives there. I don’t know why people question Jack being in Buffalo.
  3. Really hoping a Tremaine extension isn’t too far off because this locker room clearly values him
  4. Please. Just end it. I’ll be sad to see some of the better branding in the league die like this and feel for the fans but it’s a sore on the league
  5. Correct. Follow the conversation and you’ll see why I said what I said.
  6. Right. I’m aware. It’s a bad situation all around. I don’t know if they’ll be able to find a home outside of Arizona this quickly but it’s a mess the league can’t just keep acting like isn’t there.
  7. We can’t pay that price because of the lack of picks (our firsts are way too valuable) and I agree on the LHD issue but this kid is legit and would be a big get. I really have no clue what’s going on with Arizona. I think their financial situation is in a constantly dire state and they never have money to put it all together. They should move.
  8. I think we should all take the evidence we have and accept it on this one: he was non-tendered by two of the league’s worst franchises in a two year span and didn’t get a lick of interest otherwise.
  9. Tremaine Edmunds disrespect continues. They’ve got two very good linebackers. Defensive line is a bit of a wildcard but if the preseason is to be believed they’ll have a stellar front. Also, I wouldn’t call a 1 pm game in week 1 “the big stage” nor do I think Pittsburgh is anymore experienced with it than the Bills are as the two are currently constructed.
  10. Luckily we got them at face value when they originally went on sale from Va Tech. I can’t wait. Also a Bonaventure grad but I’ve always rooted for VT in football. Them and Maryland. Separately, I think the Blue Jays are off to a decent start in the Yankees series.
  11. I’m going to Notre Dame @ Virginia Tech next month so I’d like ND to play well until then so the Hokies can crush their spirits.
  12. I always worry once a team that rarely spends does spend big - they aren't likely to do so again the following season. They may have control of Vlad but the trend in baseball right now is to sign the young guys to massive deals early and that's probably going to have to happen with Vlad. He's under control through 2026. The thought is he'll likely approach $400M over 12-14 years. Bo Bichette is likely going to be another massive deal though not quite that much ... getting ahead of his deal might be a good idea. Some young guys have turned out to be bargains because they get 7/8 year deals worth well below their eventual value early on.
  13. I don’t agree with the handshake view or the trade deadline rental. I think Carolina just flat out believes they just stole a very good young player and I think they’re wrong. I don’t believe he’s near the $6.1M or the value of the upcoming QO but I think he’d be an idiot not to use that negotiating tool.
  14. Indeed but he’d be a fool not to take advantage of it. If he performs well and decides that’s a good value the long-term security might be a smart move. $2-2.5M over three years barely even covers what he’d make in one year so he’d be foolish to take that.
  15. There’s no way he agrees to anything without playing first. There’s no way he wins such a deal. Any rumor suggesting otherwise I’d laugh at. Signing now for a deal far cheaper than his qualifying offer is just throwing away money and if he plays very well this season he’s got the bargaining chip to demand a much bigger yearly salary long-term than $2-2.5M.
  16. I’m skeptical of them breaking the bank on either purely because they’re going to have to pay Vlad and the other MLB sons a ton soon. I don’t know their spending history too well but they don’t seem like a team that’s willing to go there often.
  17. How is everyone feeling heading into week 1? I’m surprised at how little hype this game has gotten. The Steelers aren’t the Steelers of 5/6 years ago but they’re a damn good team with a damn good coach. Big Ben will be his best early in the year because his body won’t slow down until a little later in the year as the weather gets colder. This isn’t going to be a walk in the park even if it’s a game I’m confident they should and will win. The TJ Watt stuff is an interesting wrinkle because they’re obviously much easier to beat if he’s not playing.
  18. Blue Jays need to call up the bank and make sure they’ve got the funds to re-sign him and Semien.
  19. KK’s next qualifying offer starts over $6.1M. If he has a good enough season to be qualified then he has a massive negotiating chip sitting in his lap. I’m not a big believer in him so I think there’s a decent chance Carolina just made a huge mistake. Time will tell.
  20. Hello Robbie Ray, I just want to introduce myself as Hoss. Big fan, hope the Jays can re-sign you. You clearly read this thread since you just had probably your best performance after our discussion here about you being in Cy Young contention.
  21. Jerry Jones has so much power and sway in the NFL despite failing to do anything worth discussing on the field in decades.
