NFL: 2020 NFL Off-season Thread
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Says a lot about a team when they lose a starting OL and RB in the same week and we all just collectively shrug. Williams had a nice run there last season but they'll be just fine without him.
Not a major deal but lost a lot of depth at RB. Williams was gone after the year anyway but would have been nice to rotate them 1-2 this year. The production he's had in the offseason the last two years has been incredible.
The players gave Cousins a little love with their QB rankings.The talking heads often say he's top 15 in the league but the players had him at #10.
Interesting that there were four distinct groups. Mahomes, Wilson and Jackson top 10 overall, followed by Brees, Brady, Rodgers and Watson 12-20, Jimmy G, Dak and Cousins 43-58, and the fourth group Tannyhill, Allen and Murray 68-90.

They lost two starters and might replace them with better players. Insanity.
KO > LDT and CEH > DW.

Per Peter King -
Mosley signed as a free agent last offseason, and played only 121 snaps in two games because of a groin injury. Including salary and bonuses, Mosley has made $29 million from the Jets in his first two years, and whether he plays or not next year, he’s guaranteed at least $8 million in 2021. This Hindenburg of a contract, then, will cost the Jets at the very least $37 million, meaning if he never plays for them again he’ll have earned more than $300,000 per snap. And, if he chooses, he can also access opt-out money of either $150,000 or $350,000 this season.
LOL. Is there a team in the NFL with worse luck than the Jets?
Hey, they got two #1's plus a player for Jamal Adams. A very good player, to be sure, but absolutely didn't want to be there. At all. So I think they did very well on that deal.
But you're right, that team has been a mess for some time now.
Kroenke is a real estate guy with ober $16B of net worth between him and his wife. Not surprised how nice this project is. Plus it's in the media capital of the US. Flashy and LA go hand-in-hand

Don't forget Kenny Golladay, the #1 WR in Detroit.
Also Gardner Minshew down in Jacksonville. Placed on the reserve/covid exception list yesterday.
And now the NFL is pushing for this Wednesday to be the opt-out deadline, because apparently they just can't go more than week without shooting themselves square in the d***.

Expect a flurry of opt-outs in the next 24 hours if the NFL is successful in making Wednesday the deadline. A lot of players who otherwise might have stayed in wait-and-see mode might choose to err on the side of caution.

It's been interesting to see the league get caught with their pants down regarding opt-outs. I don't think they anticipated how it has played out, and are desperately trying to get them over with as soon as they can. They need to play it kind of cool. They're toying with a PR nightmare.
It looks to me like there are two factors driving it - the number of opt-outs surprised the league, and there is some concern that agents for some players are using the opt-out as negotiation leverage.
But I think their big concern right now is how many players are opting out before they even report to see how their teams are set up, and they're worried about a mass exodus of players a week or two into camp if/when teammates start testing positive. The league just wants to get the players into the facility so they can start putting the focus back on football.
