Football General Talk

Anyone know how much he was making in NIL money versus the salary scale for a 4th or 5th round pick?

Is he going to accept being a back up or having to prove himself might be part of the issue.

Maybe he'll go to the CFL...
 
It's too bad Bill Tobin isn't alive to see this...

Looks like the Browns finally pulled the trigger.
I think he’s gotten a big slice of humble pie, whether he deserved it or not. Hopefully he can turn this into a positive and learn from it. I’d like to see him succeed. I think Cleveland is a great spot for him to sit for a bit and learn and eventually take over.
 
So who's happy with their teams draft? Not particularly happy with the Vikings but thats not unusual. Other than Gabriel I like the Browns draft esp. considering what they got out of added high picks next year when the QB class is stronger. Bears did a nice job giving Williams more help. Lions and Dolphins helped their interior on both sides. Eagles and Raiders did the best IMO. Not a bad day for Brady. He must have a soft spot for small school western QB's though....:)

As a Packer fan, thrilled. Picks were fine, but more so proud that a small town was able to pull that off. It was 10-years in the making, and the draft transformed the entire area around Lambeau.

Sounds like in-person numbers were really strong and the TV ratings were through the roof. I had my doubts, but sounds (and looked) like they nailed it.

I think folks are downgrading their drafting two receivers too much. Their 2nd one Williams is raw but has a lot of potential as a swiss army knife, my comp would be Cordarelle Patterson. Did think Belton was a bit of a reach, but with time he could be a good one.

I hope the experience in Green Bay encourages the league to consider other places, it looked great and went over well. Have an in law that lived a few blocks from Lambeau at one time, there's really nothing like that setting anywhere else.
