I read an article today about Z's contract with GB. Dude cried when he learned the numbers and the next day showed up to his mom's work and asked her if she was ready to retire, then bought her a house. Man, that made me feel some serious feels. Happy for Z and that's the side of FA that not everyone always sees. That dude is set for life and so is mom and pops now because of that money. Just incredible.

We already locked up a top-5 slot CB and the best blocking TE in the league. We gucci, fam.

People need to remember two things: 1) The Ravens weren't planning on Lamar playing last year. They recognized how raw he was and planned to sit him for a year. Everything we got from Lamar last year was just a bonus and wasn't supposed to happen. 2) The Ravens literally had ONE WEEK to install an entire offense. That's the result we got - the 46% rushing is a result of that. The coaching staff has been adamant that's not going to continue and it's not sustainable.

So, if he breaks his leg repeatedly?

His rushes were largely designed play calls, not scrambles. Lamar is actually pretty decent from the pocket, his struggles largely came outside the pocket, which is why when someone says "He needs to learn how to play from the pocket" it's an immediate tell that they've seen maybe one full game of Lamar Jackson tape. As for the bolded, is that serious? When's that gonna happen? Is Lamar suddenly going to not be the most athletic QB in the NFL next year?

A lot of skepticism last year around this signing, but it's worked out tremendously for us. Now if he can just stop Lamar Jackson from going like 100mph and recording himself doing it...

At this point I'd almost rather go through the draft tbh

Damn, there goes my last "best case scenario" signing:

Bengals finally make a splash in FA!

GIVE ME ALL OF THE MATRIX REFERENCES

I think Vedvik is a guy who will get picked up by another team like Will Lutz did. Sam Koch is still one of the best punters (and holders, fwiw) in the NFL.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a veteran possession WR. But Jordy Nelson ain't that at this point in his career.

Yeah I'd say the 2011(?) Colts successfully tanked and it immediately turned their team around. Granted they blew it by having one of hte most incompetent GM's and training staff's in the NFL, but "Suck 4 Luck" made them able to compete again.

Nah, I was more or less responding to him saying he was a well respected leader in the locker room. It explains a lot about a team when your well respected leader is a trash player who intentionally tries to injure people on a regular basis. And I have a very hard time believing someone who does that is an upstanding person, because it takes some sort of mental awareness to go out every Sunday and intentionally try to injure people during and after the whistle.

I think you're simply vastly overrating what Jordy Nelson is as a WR right now. The Oakland Raiders didn't even want him on the field last year after the Amari Cooper trade, and their WR group is probably worse than ours.
