Browns restructured the final year of DeShaun Watson's deal...but he still is fully guaranteed to make a total of $230 mil...ouch...not much ROI on that investment...and those THREE first round picks the Browns coughed up for him...triple ouch...

Could have traded Garrett and picked first this year and next

Agree with you. When I've heard him interviewed I've been impressed with the guy. And would take him in a heart beat as well. Maxx Crosby checks all the boxes

Bro works hard too.

He was an alcoholic in college. When he got to the Raiders, .....Darren Waller who had problems with that early on and over came them, helped him and got him on the right track to who he is today.

LV is poised to take some big steps forward, but they need to get a lot of things right in order for that to happen...

Kubiak is legit, he just came off a Super Bowl win with maybe the biggest reclamation project at QB since Jim Plunkett. He brings instant credibility, he will instill stability and a degree of competence the Raiders haven't had for awhile. We see teams turn it around in one season every year. The Raiders have a plethora of resources. The best QB in the draft and the #14 overall pick, plus a boatload of additional picks plus $100M in FA spending. I don't think they'll win more games than the Chargers or Broncos, but I see 8-9 wins as entirely possible. And with Mahomes missing the first half of the season, I expect the Raiders will win more games than the Chiefs.

Lamar is 1 year older than Justin Herbert. Henry's old for an RB but he's never hurt and is a beast. I don't know about this idea of an aging roster

Chronologically, Lamar is exactly 14 months older than Justin (BTW, JH will be 28 in 3 days, so early happy birthday!). However, in NFL years, they have 2 seasons difference which could be quite significant in terms of the violent nature of this sport. While I grant you that Lamar is more elusive and with a better OL in Baltimore he may have taken less hits over all (have not bothered to look up the stats) he has also had his slew of serious injuries in the recent years.

While I have no idea whose flesh is going to hold up better in comparing these two as they go forward, I am not averse to the notion that we may very well be in their shoes a year or so from now 🤷🏻♂️

The Raiders will get on the right track, I fully agree.

I think the Chiefs demise has been greatly exaggerated though. They wont own the division like the past, but they will be competing with the Chargers and Broncos

Here is one center option Joe Hortiz probably knew he didnt have

Bills re-signed G/C Connor McGovern to a four-year, $52 million contract.

McGovern has been a mainstay on the interior offensive line for the Bills for the previous three seasons, with the new contract tying him to the franchise through the 2029 season. Long hailed as one of the top pass blocking centers in the league, McGovern will continue to provide protection for 2024’s MVP in Josh Allen.

Holy Begeezus

[KrazyLegs]

We'll see. They got one of if not the best edge in the game at a PON. By the way, they have 10 picks in the draft

And they'll probably need to hit on a lot of them just to fill out roster spots.

We'll see if he's legit. Seattle won with a great defense. Bradford wasn't a reclamation project. Minnesota already did that work. He won 14 games there. Raiders have the means and picks to turn it around. Will they? Remains to be seen

$13m/year. Not a big $$ signing

I think next season will be a write-off year for the Chiefs, Mahomes won't be ready week 1, they aren't going win many games with a bridge QB, their roster isn't that good.

Mahomes will start week 1. Bank it
