Holy crap mariota is still around?

Well he’s in Atlanta now so

There’s a sucker born ever minute.

No one is committed to Cousins for the next 4 years. He basically signed a 2 year, $90 million deal with the Falcons. I doubt the Vikings get anywhere near his level of play at the QB situation the next 2 years. 

Well it said 4, must be front loaded.

That’s fine. He’s good enough to keep us out of good picks, bad enough to keep us from making any post season noise.


Worst place in sports is mediocrity which is Kirk’s middle name

Nobody wants him.

Because he’s about to be the most expensive RB in the league.

Yep.  End of an era 

This has been obvious since at least back when Dallas took Zeke at 4.

Not a big fan of Fields, but I would take a chance on him if I were the Raiders or Denver 

Bringing the Cousins talk over from the draft thread:

Cousins is making the 8th most APY of all NFL QBs (tied with Mahomes): https://overthecap.com/position/quarterback

The guys making less who are better QBs are either on a team-friendly deal (Mahomes) or longer-term deals that were signed a few years ago. Goff is in line for an extension and a big raise. 

So considering he's a top 15 QB and there was a bidding war for him his deal seems more than fair.

Hope this doesn't become the NBA.  

 

 

 

For Cousins, he was considered a mediocre qb before he got injured.  Now he's fucking Johnny Unitas.  I know, his numbers are good but meh

JFC, man. Get a grip. The NFL couldn’t be farther from the NBA contract-wise, and Cousins has always been an above average QB. He’s being paid what an above average QB gets paid when they hit the market unrestricted. 

Cousins, Dak, Jackson, Allen, etc may have great stats but who cares unless they win a SB.

I would not call him a "mediocre" QB in the years prior to his injury (2018-2022).  Rather, he was a good, not great, overall QB.  He was probably a top 10 QB in some (if not all) of those years, but not top 5 and not elite.  He can't carry a team like Mahomes, Lamar, etc.  And that will always be the albatross around his neck.  

But when you're being voted by your peers to the top 100 pretty much every year, throwing for 4,000+ each season, and throwing 150+ TD passes in five seasons (several of which involved pretty shaky O-lines), you're not mediocre.     

Longhorn Legend and 4(?)-time "commitment" maker Jordan Elliott is going to the Niners.  I can't wait to hear him tell Lynch and Shanahan that he wants to portal out.

His greatest contribution to Texas football, no doubt.

Cousins and Dak are similar beings. Capable of big numbers, team leader, but both collapse in big games.

Cousins is going to have a lot of weapons.

Does Rondale suck ass, or have the Cards just never seen Ridder play?

weird trade for a backup:

 

Skins have 6 of the first 100 picks …

•1st - 2

•2d - 36 and 49

•3d - 67, 78, and 100

Plus, the contract clock starts over for a rookie QB.  Sam will be on year 3 in Seattle.

This is an odd trade unless the Seahawks aren’t sure about Geno and would like to see if Howell can do something when he’s not running for his life. 
 

Backups don’t cost you a 3rd rounder.

Hollywood Brown to the Chiefs.  They may not draft a WR in the 1st round anymore.

Vikings and Texans w/ pick swaps will make for some intrigue. Houston sends 23rd and 232nd picks to MN for the 42nd and 188th plus a second-rounder in '25. Minny armed with the #11 and #23 definitely looks like they're perched to move inside the top 3-5 for a QB.

Was this expected? 

He’s flirted with it before after they won the superbowl I believe a few years ago.

Doesn't appear to be 3rd Rd pick value given up for Howell by Seahawks.  Just a couple pick swaps.

Lots of QB movement.  Where will Justin Fields end up??

Some possibilities that I've heard discussed:

  • Steelers
  • Giants
  • 49ers
  • Bears keep him for a little while??

Any other teams ???

Fields to Pitts for 6th rounder

I heard Aaron Donald retired too.

Chicago should have pulled the trigger sooner with regards to Fields, but that's a solid landing spot for him. 

I don’t get trading Fields for a 6th. He’s a cheap veteran and now you have to just sign a Tannehill/Wentz type for more money than Fields was set to make. The Bears should have just kept him and released him next year if a 6th round pick is all you get. Kudos to the Steelers for improving the QB position by investing nearly nothing.
