Andy Dalton. Andy. Dalton.


underwhelmed

Reports today that Schneider and Bears owner met ‘secretly’, bears offered 3 1st rounders, 2 second rounders and 2 unnamed players, Schneider slept on it, and said no. The Bears then pick up Dalton as sloppy seconds.

Meanwhile all the best offensive linemen in free agency have been nabbed by the Chargers the Cardinals and the 49ers, which is like telling Wilson he’s not getting what he wants and then rubbing his nose in it afterwards .

Khalil Mack being one of the unnamed players apparently

would've been gutted to see him traded tbh... one of the few bears I’d be unhappy to see go

Will Fuller to Miami. I like that move, a genuine deep threat that we have been badly lacking.

A few big draft moves being reported.

49ers are trading up to 3 overall giving the Dolphins their number 12 pick plus 1st round picks in 2022 and 2023.

Dolphins are then trading back up to 6 with the Eagles, getting their 156 pick as well in exchange for 12, 123 and their own (rather than SFs) 2022 1st round pick.

My head hurts but on the face of it Miami are getting a pretty good deal there.

[hibsbollah]

So it looks like overall Miami gets a first round pick plus one for moving from #3 to #6? Seems like a good deal. The really interesting thing is what are the 49ers up to. What is worth losing two first rounders for to get to #3? Maybe they want one of the qbs in the draft, are they trading Garropolo and what can they except to get for him?

Sam Darnold traded to the Panthers. Guess that means the Jets are 100% taking Wilson in the draft.

At least the top three picks will all be QBs.

The deshawn Watson revelations look really bad for him. He’s clearly a nasty piece of work.

Yeah he's had some interesting few months! From "Free Drama in" to "send him to jail".

[McD]

Totally different thing to what he’s been accused of, but wonder if the team will regret not trading him

I've never had a massage myself, but I'd imagine most people find a massage therapist who they feel comfortable with and stick with them, why on earth does someone need to see so many different massage therapists in the space of just over a year?

Sounds like a total creep at the very least.

It’s surely more than just because he wanted to get his end away, it’s definitely that power dynamic that certain people get when they’re put on a superstar pedestal and are used to getting whatever they want their whole lives. Not that different to Jimmy Saville, arguably.

Moving on...I’ve been discovering PFF, what a great resource. (you know you’re bored when you start looking at offensive linemen grades). Does anyone remember last years draft the Giants took an offensive lineman in the first round, Anthony Thomas to widespread amazement, there were at least 4 guys including Tristan Wirfs and Bekton now at the Jets ranked way higher...but the Giants took him at #4 overall anyway, turns out PFF had him dead last in his position in his rookie year! Has to be one of the busts of all time, imagine using your top draft pick on a player and ending up with the actual worst player in the league in that position...Him vs Chase Young should be worth a watch for laughs again this season.
