NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

"Nevermind, fumble on the goalline, normal service resumed"

[crystal falace]

What the fuck is happening in dallas!? Cowboys were 22 point favourites!

[scouse kid]

No way Kraft is going to have pay 9 milllion to AB not after those tweets Antionio Brown will be bankrupt within a couple of years and be dancing for crack

[colchesterhammer]

Great start for my Chiefs. DRob with an outrageous catch.

[Far Cough]

Good start for the Vikings

Glad i went with dak over lamar jackson looking at the weather forecast Surely favours the ravens if the weather is crap

"Nine million for one game (if true)? That's 160,000 dollars per yard that he gained for the Patsies. Each time he scoots a yard down the road, he can laugh and think: ""Another 160,000 in the bank."" Unfortunately for him, he might well be scooting into retirement, a ban and, quite possibly, a court room."

[Grumpster]

Looks like the Pat's may have to pay him 9 million dollars for that 1 game as well.

[Hermit Road]

"I don't think anyone will sign him now because he's under investigation for these texts and the NFL will suspend him anyway. It's a no win, if they sign him they get all the flak for signing someone who's sent intimidating texts to a woman who has accused of him inappropriate sexual behaviour, and you can't even benefit from him playing because he will be on a ban."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Brown is going to spending a lot of time with his lawyers and would be a nightmare for any side to pick up. As well as, or perhaps because of, the sexual assault (incl. rape) allegations, he's showing real signs of being on the edge: rows about his playing helmet, rows with GMs about his personal conduct, missing training sessions, fines etc. Almost every side with cap room will make an inquiry about him, due to his undoubted talent, but I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole at the moment. Now watch the Jets pick him up!"

[Far Cough]

Thoughts on the Jaguars QB Minshaw anyone?

"Alfie 12:21 Sat Sep 21 Fill your boots, BDSM isn't my thing."

[Alfie]

The only thing more boring and turgid than amerycan football is death. I would rather smash myself to death with a rolling pin than watch - participate or be a fan of the NFL. Id rather jump naked and genitally erect into a vat of boiling dung.

"Yeah the owner has come out and said they'll make him the highest paid player at his position, money solves everything Not sure why you'd trade the 2nd best cornerback in the league like you're not going to get anyone close to his talent with a first round pick"

[zebthecat]

I reckon Ramsey will stay with the Jags. He was an integral part of Mariota's beasting this week. Antonio Brown is a collosal bellend and is the architect of his donwfall.

[crystal falace]

"Brown has gone from 30 million guaranteed in oakland to earning just over 150k total for the year Cant see Ramsey, cornerback is the deepest position on the team would like them to look at a toght end or Olineman though now they have some extra wiggle room under the cap"

[Hermit Road]

Nobody can afford to sign him now with that hanging over him. He will be totally skint within 2 years. Do they get Jalen Ramsey now? Lot of extra cash to 0lay with.

[Joe C]

Brown released by the Patriots already. Turns out that even they shy away from that sort of shit

[crystal falace]

Patriots have released antonio brown I know talent generally gets you extra chances in this league but good chance he's played his last game in the nfl

[crystal falace]

"They've already signed a sort of journeyman tackle, bit of a weird name who apparently had 10 invites to come and meet teams but said he wanted to play for Dante Scarnecchia. Seen lots of rumours of Trent Williams fromt he Redskins but i dont think they have the Caprrom for that and it doesnt make much sense when the 1st round pick from last year will be back halfway through the season. The pats' first 8 games are very soft so i would think between McDaniels, Belichick, Scarnecchia and Brady they can piece it together and focus on quick passes and maybe run the ball more."

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, we have the perfect player for you who's currently refusing to play for us. I'm sure you could backdate his money for next year but it depends on what picks you offer, and the alleged deal you offered weeks ago, last pick in round one, isn't close to a deal for a constant pro bowl tackle"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Yep, saw the o-line problems that the Patsies are having. Losing your starting left tackle is never an easy thing. He's the blind-side for Brady. Could see Belichick dipping back into the free agency or trade market - but not sure how much wriggle room there is after the Brown deal..?"

[crystal falace]

"Id imagine they'll be even more ruthless against the hated jets than his ex coach who runs the dolphins. I'm just intrigued to see how dominant the defence will be again, obviously against poor competition again in a 3rd string QB. but so far this season the Pats defence has scored 14 while only allowing 3 through 2 games. If anything is going to derail the Pats this season it will be the Oline, lost the starting right tackle for a month in the first game and now the starting left tackle has been placed on IR so is out for at least 8 weeks. 3 backup starters on the Oline now, after the Centre is out for the season with blood clots in his lungs (urgh) luckily they have Dante Scarnecchia who is not only the best Oline coach of all time but one of the best coaches fulls top."

[Hermit Road]

Betfair exchange are giving the Jrts a 23 point head start on Sunday. I think the Pat's will absolutely smash that going on what I saw the other day.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Crystal - could be another cricket score, which will horrify me? Our third-string QB is terrible, so they'll give the ball to Bell -a lot. Problem is, the Patsies will know it and have an excellent defense anyway. It could get ugly. 0-3 for the Jets on Sunday will have Woody thinking about tanking for another high-pick & trades. With the Fins already in the same position, the AFC East could become the least ""bothered"" division in history. I hope the Jets don't tank - I never really see the point, but our owners will live the idea of the space it affords them. It will all depend on when Darnold is back."
