As much as I loved Quarterback last season with Mahomes, I feel like they cast this pretty damned well outside of Tyreek who probably was the first pick but probably had demands production wasn’t going to agree to.
We should have some fun Chiefs moments too given a couple 49ers, an AFCW opponent, a guy we started our season against, and the best receiver in football whom Sneed shut down and got injured against us. [Reply]

Jets would have to do a lot of reworking and Raiders would eat like $17MM in cap.

If they wanna make it work, they can. It'll take some real moving but honestly if you are the Raiders, I'd probably do about anything I could do to get more assets IE draft picks.
This is a spot where they could essentially buy a pick if they'd cover more of the salary. [Reply]

10 million dollars is chump change to bring in Adams. A restructuring or two accomplishes that easily.
Why this isn't unlikely at all is Rodgers wants him. We know this because Jets players won't shut the fuck up about it. And we all know standard operating procedure for the Jets currently is give Aaron Rodgers what he wants regardless of how little the moves make sense for the organization as a whole. [Reply]

The Raiders didn't stick with an interim HC just to lose their 2 best offensive weapons before the season even starts. They already don't have a QB.
That's a team that doesn't ever play the long game. [Reply]

Honestly, given the McDumbass disaster I see his POV.
How do you think Crosby would feel about them trading his "twin" right before TC starts? [Reply]

They don't have a QB. True, they aren't smart.
But Rodgers and company are in dire must win straits so I'd be surprised by nothing here. [Reply]

I don't know man I'm not seeing a lot of options to free up $10MM here. That Lazard contract was epically stupid.
Just saw the part during the Lions rams game where Amon-Ra's dad asks a guy if this is the loudest stadium he's ever been in. Guys like "I've been to Arrowhead once, but yeah this is pretty loud." Dad asks which is louder. Dude pauses, not wanting to say Arrowhead, and then says its the loudest game the kid next to him has been to. :-) [Reply]
Statement from Davante Adams’ agents Kenny Chapman and Frank Bauer regarding the recent trade talk surrounding their client: “This is baseless, unfounded speculation and Davante is expected to be with the Raiders as there has been absolutely no trade talk - period.” pic.twitter.com/wwJ8AOtHEt
