  1. If Clark is all for it then I am all against it. I don't want that stupid bastard on the team either.
  2. Visiting free agent Tyrann Mathieu leaves Saints meeting without a deal John Sigler Wed, April 6, 2022, 4:30 PM Former Kansas City Chiefs free agent safety and popular LSU Tigers star Tyrann Mathieu visited the New Orleans Saints at their team facility this week while in town catching up with friends and family, but he walked away from the meeting without a deal — NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill characterized the situation as more of a casual get-together with Mathieu taking time to meet team decision-makers and coaches while he happened to be in the area, reporting that there is “nothing imminent” in regards to a signing. That’s discouraging on its face; a lot of fans were hoping Mathieu wouldn’t leave the building without a contract. But he’s one of the best free agents still available and intends to take his time in choosing where to continue his career. After spending the previous nine years with the Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans, and the Chiefs, Mathieu is about to turn 30 in May and knows this is his last and best shot at earning generational wealth for himself and his family. He can afford to wait for teams to meet his number. What that could be is anyone’s guess, though it’s worth noting Mathieu brought in $14 million per year with the Chiefs. Mathieu had praise for first-year head coach Dennis Allen and his staff, telling the Advocate’s Wilson Alexander of his appreciation from afar: “Those guys have done a great thing. The last couple years, they’ve been like top-five in defense. I don’t think they really need me, but it would be good to go back home and help them win.” So, sure, Mathieu would enjoy playing in front of a friendly home crowd and wearing the same uniform he watched his favorite players rock on TV while growing up in the city. But it doesn’t sound like either side is powerfully motivated to get a deal hammered out right now or even in the immediate future. If Mathieu has to wait until after the 2022 NFL draft or even into training camp for the right opportunity and an acceptable contract offer to appear, well, it sounds like he’s ready to do that. Maybe the Saints are willing to wait, too.
  3. https://heavy.com/sports/new-york-jets/trade-offer-tyreek-hill-revealed-dolphins/ Jets trade offer to the Chiefs for Tyreek Hill - that Kansas City would have accepted if the WR opted for NY - did not include a first-round pick, but rather multiple picks that were commensurate to the Dolphins’ offer based on the draft value chart that teams use, per sources.
  4. Report: Jets were willing to deal 10th overall pick for DK Metcalf, but Seahawks won’t listen to offers
  5. certainly not and really dont think I'd be a fan of any team. I'd probably loath them as I do all West Coast teams
  6. the last year tickets were $250 per seat x's 4. They were altho 30 yrd line Gold Level and then X's that by 10 because you have to pay for the preseason & Parking.. you get the idea and that was when Pioli was here which added insult to injury. No idea what they'd cost now
  7. Solid Point. I was watching a clip about PM's 10 finest plays at Texas Tech and thought to myself.. shoulda drafted 1 or 2 of them they looked awesome with Patrick throwing the ball to them
  8. no that was huge consideration after 40+ years of being a Season Ticket holder, had to donate many because they were almost unsellable. You had to be real cautious about selling them because you lose control of who sits n your seats and you are responsible for their behavior. To be perfectly honest I dont see myself ever seeing a live game again just aint worth it IMO but more power to those who think differently.
  9. hence FESTIVUS. we used to have them yearly back in the good ol days even the not so good ol days
  10. tackle Terron Armstead to a five-year deal worth $74.4 million with incentives that could bring it to $87.5 million. He’s expected to come in and be a cornerstone on the offensive line, as the Dolphins look to improve a group that was one of the worst in the league in 2021. On the surface, a deal that has an average annual value of nearly $15 million may feel a bit daunting, however, this contract for the player could end up being a team-friendly one. That’s especially the case when looking at the AAVs at the position, and Armstead’s $14.88 million comes in at No. 14. These are his cap hits throughout the deal, according to Over the Cap: 2022: $3.99 million 2023: $20.4 million 2024: $16.65 million 2025: $16.7 million 2026: $16.73 million Obviously, the increase to $20.4 million in 2023 is a drastic one, but the NFL salary cap is projected to jump roughly $17 million in the next year, so that would cover the change. Over the course of the contract, there’s a $12 million signing bonus (prorated to $2.4 million annually), $1 million annually in per-game roster bonuses and $18 million in guaranteed salary ($1.12 million in 2022 and $17 million in 2023). If Armstead is on the roster on the third of the 2024 league year, his $13.25 million salary becomes completely guaranteed.
  11. Read the posts but here The Giants have been working to move Bradberry since before free agency started and are likely seeking a mid-rounder.
  12. GM Joe Schoen is expected to unload the team’s best defensive back soon, according to league sources here at The Breakers luxury resort in Palm Beach, Fla. The Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts are teams to watch in a Bradberry trade, sources say.
  13. Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid has made his first public comments since the Tyreek Hill trade. The NFL’s annual owners’ meeting is taking place at The Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida over the next few days. Speaking to reporters ahead of the festivities, Reid was asked about how the team handled the contract situation with Tyreek Hill that ultimately led to his trade from Kansas City. “You can handle it any way you want to handle it. We handled it the way we did there,” Reid said, via Pro Football Talk’s Charean Williams. “We felt like Tyreek deserved an opportunity. We came in aggressive and then after we got to a point, we just said, ‘Hey, listen, in this day and age, you have issues that you have to deal with with the cap,’ so we felt like it was better to allow him to go ahead and be traded. You can go different routes. You can play hardball with a player and do that, or you can kind of go about the way I did. Or we did.” There was no love lost between Hill and the Chiefs. No irreconcilable rift. It was simply a matter of doing what was best for both parties. Kansas City felt they’d made a number of aggressive offers to keep Hill, but ultimately came to the conclusion that with salary cap constraints it wasn’t the right move for the team. Instead of trying to play “hardball” and force Hill to play out his contract, the team decided to sell high. “Listen, the cap never gets far away from your thought process, because you’re always dealing with it,” Reid continued. “So (General Manager) Brett (Veach) has got to sit in there and manage that with his guys and if you want to keep consistency throughout years you’ve got to be able to do that and still stay at a high level. So I love Tyreek Hill. There was no rift between Tyreek Hill and myself. I thought he deserved an opportunity if that’s where he wanted to go. He’s a family man with a few kids, and he’s got to be able to support them now and down the road and this gives him an opportunity to do that. Put him a place where he has a home, and at the same time, it gave us great compensation.” As for the compensation, Reid believes it’s a big part of why the team will remain competitive. That will allow the Chiefs an opportunity to continue to build around Patrick Mahomes, both with draft capital and the $72.2 million in guaranteed money that they’re not spending on Hill over the next four years. “Obviously, Patrick’s a big part of that (belief the team can remain competitive),” Reid said. “You want to surround him with good players, but that’s a sticky question, because we did try to sign Tyreek at a certain cost. Once it gets past that, now you can see what we’re doing here with the players we brought in, and we feel they’re very good football players. So we’ll see. I mean the end result is going to be what takes place during the season, but Brett’s building this thing back where we feel comfortable that we can go win on Sundays.”
  14. KANSAS CITY - The Kansas City Sports Commission and the NFL announced the dates for the 2023 NFL Draft. The draft will be held from April 27-29, 2023 in Kansas City.
