I want to see Donald lined up next to Myles Garrett for science purposes...

Maybe this is why the Cardinals aren't bothering rostering QBs this year? They're sitting back laughing at SF and Seattle assuming Purdy and Darnold are going to need to schedule funerals this season.

I think Cleveland got the short end here, slightly, but they need capital to get a QB in the next draft. I wouldn't be surprised if Verse goes to a bad team with a young QB before the next draft in a three way deal for Cleveland to move up and get a QB. 

From their perspective, there’s almost no way to get fair trade value for a 1st ballot HOF type of player. Verse is from Ohio evidently so maybe he will have a little home state pride to turn that situation around. 

Agreed with you all they’re doing is setting up to take a QB right away in 2027. With ammo to spare if the Cardinals or Dolphins out-tank them.

Arizona is one of 3 teams I think are actively tanking. Cleveland and NYJ if none of those teams “earn” the 1st overall pick the bidding war will be insane.

I also think Miami is tanking. And maybe in the stupidest way. No attempt at a passing game and a 185 lb RB? They're going to destroy one of the leagues best young ball carriers the season they gave him a contract extension.

Tough start

[Vanimal46]

We will see soon enough what Christian Watson’s contract breakdown looks like… The reported 4/$110 million extension is insane for a player who hasn’t topped 700 yards in a single season. 

Jordan Addison is salivating after this news… If he isn’t a moron this year, he’s gonna get $30-35 million per year when he hits the open market.

I just keep getting modern Arizona for every spin every time.

I'm guessing Stefon Diggs' career is over?

As it should be if anywhere remotely accurate. But I'd guess teams would blacklist him for the wrong reason.

Last I heard:

Quote

The NFL concluded that there was “insufficient evidence to support a finding of a personal conduct policy violation” for free agent WR Stefon Diggs.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports “at least” five teams have been checking in on free agent WR Stefon Diggs.

My expectation is that he'll sign somewhere to be a starting receiver in the next month, unless something comes out about one of his multiple civil cases. Knowing NFL teams, this isn't enough to blacklist him.

My understanding was that the NFL's investigation was about the assault of the caterer. This civil suit about him sexually assaulting a man seems like it's new news to everyone in the industry.

But NFL investigation or not, that's immaterial as to the reason I think clubs will blacklist him.

He's at the stage in his career where it could go either way. Turning 33 years old, and probably more of a #4 WR than a #2 WR. Maybe he waits out the first wave of training camp injuries then signs after that.

I've been checked out of the NFL after the draft... Still some decent names available in FA. No idea if they're injured or just not good anymore...

WR: Tyreek Hill (probably done that leg injury was gruesome), Deebo Samuel, Diggs, Brandin Cooks, Keenan Allen

EDGE: Joey Bosa, Clowney, Haason Reddick, Von Miller (old)

CB: Marshon Lattimore, Trevon Diggs, Kenny Moore

By the way, since it's been radio silence from Harry the Hitman, are we to assume he's coming back?

He's got to be coming back, imo, or he'd have retired with his friends. That said, I'm shocked they haven't announced he's back yet.

Agreed. We have to assume by now there’s already a deal in place to sign him for another year. Otherwise why wouldn’t he have been a part of the Ham and Thielen retirement party?

Sounds like Joey Bosa is retiring, or at least won't play in 2026. Tyreek had the Teddy Bridgewater dislocated knee and probably won't be healthy until 2027 and probably won't be the same player he was.

Cornerback is such a volatile position, Lattimore and Diggs were terrible last year and it seems like really good CBs can fall off at age 28/29. A la Xavier Rhodes being a top 5 CB for 2 years and then by age 29 became a shell of his former self.

Diggs, Allen, and Samuel can still be WR2s and will sign when they want to, there seems to be a tier of veteran player who is assumedly going to get a 1 year deal, so they wait it out and skip spring/summer practices.

Speaking of old edge rushers, both Von Miller and Cameron Jordan had 9+ sacks in 2025 despite both being 36 years old. Jordan hit 10.5!

Well this stinks. More layoffs at ESPN.

I saw something about Ryan Clark being let go too.

[Mike Sixel]

To be clear, ESPN is making a huge mistake getting rid of actual reporters.

Yes, while live on air.

I guess they have somebody who was leaking the firings and ESPN wanted to let him know before he read about it between ad breaks. 

So when they find out it's Adam Schefter who was doing the leaking, will they let him go too?
