Sean Payton on evaluating QBs this offseason: "I think we’ll be really good at this and to some degree we’re glad that a lot of people aren’t.” #9sports
I think knowmo is right. They have the best owners and the best GM and the best coach. We've lost so much ground to the :-) since Paton was hired that I'm about to quit watching football. If they're smart enough to put Paton on a lifetime contract, we're fucked. Damnit. [Reply]
Clark’s reputation for penny pinching isn’t going unnoticed in NFL circles. Kudos to Clark for stepping up, because the 49ers tried to steal Spags this offseason, according to Dianna Russini.
“The Chiefs aren’t that kind of cash spending team”
Except they are. Chiefs had $177 in cap space in 2020 after their first SB and gave Mahomes a half a billion dollar LTD. Then gave Chris Jones a huge top of the market LTD. Then Clark made Andy a top 5 paid coach on his contract extension.
This “Clark is cheap” stuff is hilarious. He’s paying Mahomes more than any player has ever been paid in a 4 year span right now.
No wonder the Athletic is falling apart and having layoffs. [Reply]
