One of the guys I wanted on the PS. IIRC, waived guys can sign anywhere they want if unclaimed. So I guess he didn’t want to return to LA.

Yeah, but perspective... he couldn't beat out Amen or Neimann. I have no doubt of his mental makeup and desire, but other UDFAs show ability on the field. Maybe a spy move against the Chargers, won't be the first guy to spill the beans on a former team. Beat Army.

From Twitter. Russel Wilson makes $57m in 2022

#Broncos QB Russell Wilson’s new contract gives him a $33 million raise in 2022, from $24M to $57M. He gets $85M total over two years (up from $51M he had left on his old deal) and $124M over three, while Denver locks up another four non-guaranteed years on top of it.

[Heatmiser]

Wow. Just take a step back and think about that. $57M. For one year. Just astronomical amount of money for anyone.

I guess Cole needed a change of scenery, I can’t imagine the chargers offerred maddox-williams a spot instead of him…

I think a lot of guys who were good prospects signed with the Jets. They knew they had a chance to not only make a roster, but possibly be named a starter. They had access to a lot of good prospects, maybe even 1st pick of some of them(UDFA and street FA).

But it also means that as a team, the Jets really missing starting caliber guys. You can call it depth if you want, but if you don't have good players at the top, then the mountain of so-so guys really doesn't matter. I recall plenty of years the Chargers could be considered "deep" in that we had 4 OG or 4 OT who were more or less interchangeable. But that really meant we had 4 backups and no quality players at the position.

For the Jets, their DE group is a pretty good example. Carl Lawson, John Franklin-Myers, Jermaine Johnson, Jacob Martin, Bryce Huff, Micheal Clemons & Vinny Curry. Any of those guys are solid names to have on a roster. But 6 guys on that list who would be better as 3rd/4th DE types, and 1 first-round pick (26th pick), who I liked, but was a 1-year wonder in college and more of a run defender than elite pass rusher. I like him and think he will be fine once he develops. but I would have liked to see him be a 3rd DE who could rotate in and get some playing time, more than an every-down starter. Carl Lawson is a good player, but I would rather see him as a 3rd DE or pass rush specialist. Vinny Curry was a quality starter for Philly for a while, but that was a few years ago. John Franklin-Myers is a solid guy, but I don't think he is ever going to be more than a solid starter, and will probably never be a great pass rusher. I would be fine with him more as a run-down player who slides inside or rotates with a situational rusher.

The Jets only have 2 players who are starters from 2020 and prior drafts. One is Quennin Williams, who is excellent. The other is their punter (Braden Mann). The rest are either out of football or a backup or injured (or both). A lot of the players who are gone were because of scheme fit, which is OK to a point, but it means there is a lot of roster building to do.

And it is not like waiver wire pickups are going to just jump into the starting lineup. Most of them will be fringe roster guys, whether they are on the jets or someone else. They are just good prospects, not good players (yet).

So they signed a lot of priority undrafted free agents on account of having a bad team? That makes sense…guys go looking for the best opportunity to catch on in the NFL…

The Chiefs want some intel for the Thursday night game.

There’s no indication the Chargers tried to sign him to PS. can’t really tell if he didn’t want to sign here or not - maybe someone has more intel?

I’m always happy for players when they get paid, but he just bought a 28million dollar mansion in denver, so I think he desperately needed the influx of cash, I think a guy his age should be past that stage where he’s spending like a kid entering the league with a big contract. Like he’s trying to impress people, perhaps because he’s married to an entertainer? IDK, but I hope he’s not one of those idiots that in 15 years we’ll read a story about how he’s selling his superbowl ring…he did the same thing in seattle where he’s now having troubling recouping what he spent on a mansion there (25 million)…real estate is awesome when you buy cheap and sell high, but these guys for some reason always buy high and sell for less. I think it’s all the vultures circling around them constantly like agents and lawyers. There is no reason, to spend that type of money on a house. The kind of money a russell wilson is making right now, if properly invested would ensure the future of his children and their children easy…but buying mansions with 20 car garages is so cliche and we’ve all seen where that story ends…

O.J. Howard landing in Cincinatti.

He didn't get an offer he liked from the Bengals, so he signs with the Texans.

Classless organizations do shit like that;

Football players don't like it.

We'll see if the Chiefs are a consistently ethically challenged organization after looking at the post week #2 waiver wire.

My guess is yes: complete scumballs.

TItans lost Landry, pro bowl edge player for the year. ACL. Last year they lost Henry, their best player for most of the seaon. Another tough draw for them.
