to complete the Brett Favre arc

My opinion is biased by my hatred of Rodgers but I honestly think this story is a combination of Minnesota doing their due diligence and the Rodgers camp wanting to make it a thing in the media. Minnesota is obviously Rodgersā preferred destination - itās his last chance to win another SB. He is the reason that this story isnāt going away (IMHO).
All the reporting Iāve seen suggests that the Vikings really do like JJ McCarthy. Arif Hasan (Vikings beat reporter) was very clear on this on the Heed The Call podcast last week.
Is JJ fully fit yet?
Falcons released Grady Jarrett?
tbh, hope heās a great snag for the Bears, he deserves some success
Heās ahead of schedule and it wasnāt deemed serious at the time.

Was expecting Chase to be $45m a year at least so bizarrely this feels like good value. Wasnāt expecting Higgins to stay at all, heāll come in handy given that the Bengals will need to score about 50 points a game to compensate for their defence.
Simultaneously quite good deals for the bengals in 2025 and a lot more than theyād have paid if theyād sorted it out in 2024 instead
The issue with the Bengals is always that theyāre an incredibly cash-poor team and the team itself is Mike Brownās only real asset. When a team offers a player guaranteed money they have to have that much money in an escrow account somewhere; I think the reason these deals didnāt get done last year is that the Bengals simply didnāt have the cash to be able to do that.
That being said, the Bengals could help themselves by restructuring contracts and paying more in cash in years where theyāre a long way under the cap but they never actually do that. They have restructured precisely one contract in the teamās history (Joe Mixon of all people).

His family has said heās not going to come out until 2027 I think.
Looking like another underwhelming QB draft next year barring an unexpected breakout.
On paper it looks like the worst draft for QBs since 2013 (the year of Geno Smith, EJ Manuel and Mike Glennon).
You could argue 2022 was worse. Pickett, Ridder, Willis, Corral, Zappe, Howell, Oladokun, Thompson.
Brock Purdy as Mr Irrelevant saves it from total disaster at the very last second.
Ooft, yep thatās a stinker. Worked out a while back that each draft needs to produce 3 or 4 long-term starters to keep a subsistence level of starters in the league; even if Pickett claims the Cleveland job for a few seasons thatās still a pitiful crop.
I agree that 2022 is the worst one in recent memory.
I really think this one is bad as well. Cam Ward looks solid but Shadeur takes sacks like nobodies business and people donāt seem to be mentioning it. Dart is getting inflated by the general need for QBs, I donāt think heās good. Milroe is intriguing but maybe not as a QB.
