Oh okay. This year's offseason trade is the most active I have seen in a long time. A lot of moves have been made and many more to come. I think teams will continue to bolster until after the draft which is next month.
bro!!! It's unprecedented o. Safeties getting paid. Landon collins(another giants fumble), tyrann matheu and my very own guy, Earl Thomas....he's heading to Ravens!!! And I thought safeties were out of Vogue o. And have never really seen NFL teams spend this much money
Re: The NBA Begins by Tundesam923(m): 6:56pm On Mar 13, 2019
How is that bell contract to the jets? I felt he should have taken more money

What exactly are the Chiefs doing? Firstly, you release OLB Houston, well, may I get that one, especially when you consider he is a vet and you can free up cap space. But, I am scratching my head about trading Dee Ford. The man has been beasting for 2 seasons.
tyrann would help that shaky secondary. Yeesh! ND Damien Wilson ain't bad too at the linebacker position

Honey Badger!!!! One of my favorite players, I have followed him closely since his SEC days at LSU. The Chiefs are definitely getting a good strong safety. I just hope his injury woes are over, I thought the Texans would explore past the 1-year deal but hey, he is getting paid and it looks like the Chiefs players are excited about him.

I think the contract puts him only behind Todd Gurley when it comes to yearly earnings and contract value, not bad if you consider he was out for the most part of last season. I hope he goes into the season injury free because he may be prone to muscle injuries considering he has been away from active contact games/ scrimmage.

Can you blame him? He's shooting 25% from three, averaging 7pts per game and isn't holding it down on the defensive end anymore so his antics would definitely start to annoy you
I'm sure it's the antics. Now he's signed with Klutch Sports. I have a feeling if he pushes the boundary, Golden State might not offer him a contract

lolz. Exactly. Money matters. That's why I don't see that big of a deal when some of these guys are haggling over money and threatening hold outs(Aaron donald,khalil Mack comes to mind). Nfl is such a dangerous sport and window period to get paid is so slim. And I don't know why some of the fans see them as childish and all that when the team would do the same to you in a second...case in point, Justin Houston was cut becos of salary cap. There is such a double standard to all this

hmmm . I just saw the figure and concluded it was small in relative to what he should have. I do know there is guarantee to the tune of 35 mil or something, so that's something the Steelers never offered him

Just sat here watching clips of Kobe from the last season he played at a high level with Nash and Howard, and Gasol as his side kick.

Mad thing. Mad thing.

I watched almost every Lakers game this year, and one thing was certain for most games. Lakers were usually down by 10 or more digits.

3rd and 4th Quarter, Kobe would hit crazy shots back and forth to bring his team close with a chance to get the W.

Kobe Averaged 27.3 PPG, 6.0 APG, and 5.6 APG.

Do you know what it takes to score 27 PPG back then at that age when it wasn't a high scoring league? Teams weren't scoring 130 points then. Lucky to see 100+.

Nash played 50 games.

Pau Gasol 49 games.

Kobe still willed that team to the playoffs.
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 1:10pm On Mar 14, 2019
Let us also not forget Kobe Bryant took smush Parker, Luke Walton and Kwame brown to the playoffs. Let us not forget.

Nash played only 50 games, not only were these guys old, they just couldn't play anymore. Missing 30+ games.

Replace the embolden with “dragged”. That is what LeBum fans use when they want to argue.

I would not give a Seventh round pick for Eli Manning


Dude thats deep grin grin grin, personally I will give up at most a 6 especially if I have someone who I believe is a franchise caliber QB, who is not yet ready to to run a team. Eli's experience can help such a young stud
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 5:18pm On Mar 14, 2019

I said the Browns run the RPO with Mayfield while the Giants run the Pistol with a QB who sits in the pocket which would be contrasting styles for Odell.

Odell will be fine as long as his QB has a good and accurate arm

Eli was finished since 2016 at least. I would not trade a 7th round pick for Eli Manning I'm not even joking. Have you seen his numbers without Odell? I don't quite get what the Giants are actually trying to do

I feel bad for Saquon. They should have traded him too and not waste his good years

The Giants bad choices so far, might make Saquon into another player that would spend most of his prime playing for a bad team.

That's why they need to trade him. I don't know how you say you're rebuilding with Eli Manning as your starting Quarterback. They are tanking in plain sight if you ask me

Taken more? No one would pay him! From what I heard only the Jets were interested

No competitive team is paying someone who willingly sat out a whole year especially not after watching what James Conner did in his absence. He's very lucky the Jets came to spare his blushes, his agent did a terrible job advising him. If he picked up that $14.5m and balled out, both contenders and struggle teams alike would be rushing to get him.

Didn't Earl Thomas get injured? Didn't he still get paid? His agent advised him horribly

The Kobe disrespect by LeNomad fanboys is very serious. When I saw so-called 'Lakers' fans dissing Kobe that was when I knew water don pass garri.

Playing in the LEastern Conference really enhanced LeNomad's legacy. Seeing Kobe dragging a much worse roster to the playoffs and this Lakers team shutting everything down even with 18 games left has made me have a higher appreciation of Kobe's greatness.

I can never put LeNomad ahead of Kobe.

No true, in fact, there was last minute tussle between the 49ers and the Jets. The 49ers made a strong offer for Bell but Bell ultimately picked the Jets because of his love for idol Curtis Martin.
