The NFL scouting combine starts today so I’m afraid your break from the NFL is officially OVAH.
Some dates of note:
Any interest in the combine? Your team’s free agency needs? Draft intrigue?
Personally I think this a really interesting draft class, especially at RB. There’s some guys in this class that will be putting the old guard out to pasture very quickly I think.
Specifically, I want to see if Omarion Hampton can solidify his position as the RB2 behind the phenom that is Ashton Jeanty. If Hampton can run in the 4.4 range at his size I think he sneaks into the 1st round of the draft.
This Steve Smith Sr drama is perfect offseason content
I’ve missed this - care to elaborate?
Feels like a pretty drab year really. Sure the hype train will start soon enough but a weak class with 2 realistic starting QBs and a pretty thin free agency.
Assume bears will be hitting both lines fairly hard in the draft and free agency, which is sensible but I’d love to see Ben Johnson get his grubby mitts on Ashton Jeanty
A guy accused him of having an affair with his wife, and shared a video of him phoning Smith to confront him.

This morning I saw a post from Smith where he leans into it but I’m thinking it might have been a fake
Maybe only 1 starting QB - I’m not a fan of Shadeur. He seems like Teddy Bridgewater if he had a bad personality.
There’s a couple of guys who could be ok if they’re not thrown into starting straight away. It’s set up quite nicely for a team like NYG to pick up one of the old guys on the market and then draft a project like Dart or Milroe to nurture.
Lots to think about here
Think the Bridgewater comp is decent but also think Teddy was a starter level qb before the injury.
Think the Deion circus is more of a worry than Shadeur himself. Chuck that in at the raiders for a laugh imo
Is it real? It’s not in his timeline now
I’m going to go with yes, it’s real because I found it amusing.
I will not take any further questions, thank you.
This is a massive boomer take but when a guy is recording music on the side it’s a bad sign imo, I don’t want my starting QB dropping fire mixtapes I’m sorry.

Lolllll
Greg Olsen was a brilliant tight end and a talented rapper
If Matt Stafford gets traded it could open an interesting Pandora’s Box
The NFLPA state of the locker room survey has been published, always some fun details in here. Personal favourite so far is that the Patriots plane is so old it still has ashtrays in the seats.
Seems like a load more players than usual have already requested trades; Myles Garrett, Jonathan Allen, Harold Landry, Jaire Alexander and Deebo are all agitating for moves apparently. Germane Pratt wants to leave Cincinnati as well but will be fortunate to find a team who wants him after how badly he played last year.
The fact that the red scrolling arrows aren’t pinned to the top is fully irking me.
