West Ham Online

"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."

Cheers to whoever decided to drop the Bills Defence the week they're playing the Dolphins! gladly scoop them up

"Oh, I'm sure he got that! He sounds like he knows his way around the complex rule book on the salary cap and related issues - the Jets could do with somebody like that. We're a bit of a blunt message when it comes to those things."

Yes a favourable salary from Kroenke.

"They paid the NFL half a billion to relocate to Los Angeles - and all the press coverage focused on those costs. But, naturally, Snead would have wanted something generous in return..."

"Yep, he's a proper wheeler-dealer. But it might not be ""magic""! My guess is that he is a fecking good negotiator and has found some, ahem, ""creative space"" in the relocation packages. I don't doubt that he's done it by the rule book - but knowing Snead he has carved out a decent temporary deal."

Les Snead working his magic sbb.

"If I was to hazard a guess, and it is just that, then I'd be taking a peek at the deal that the NFL struck with the Rams to allow the move back to LA. My instinct tells me that there were some very generous concessions made to staff in terms of relocation and related costs in order to get the team to the west coast. I'm quite convinced that there has been some canny cost shunting somewhere in that franchise."

"Think this is the last year of Goff's ""underpayment"" on his initial contract. He's signed-up to some big rises from 2020. So the cap issue is just going to get tougher from the Rams - it might be a case of now or never for them."

"I'm amazed that the Rams have met the salary cap in the last two seasons. They've had to wheel and deal a few times, trading away players for picks in order to meet the cap. But the whole thing still smacks of some creative accounting somewhere down the line. My guess is that a few of them are getting some generous non-salary benefits, which is risky."

"Well we outed Marcus Peters as well who is aggro, so one in and one out I suppose."

"Also, you've just paid a massive price to sign someone who is happy to down tools when he doesnt get his own way. Good luck with that."

"Ramsey is going to demand to be made the highest paid corner int he league very shortly too, id assume that means the likes of Talib, Peters, Fowler, Matthews Whitworth etc will not be there next year. You can't build a team with a few highly paid superstars and nothing around them."

another team that will forever be held back by an average QB

"Another very combustible personality added to that team, hope they dont keep losing or little McVay could lose the whole locker room. Also i have no idea how they are paying all these players, Gurley, Cooks, Goffe, Donald, Talib, Fowler, Whitworth are all among the highest paid in their positions, Must have zero depth in case of injuries."

"Far Cough 1:16 Tue Oct 15 Yeah tons of great NFL players I knew as TV hosts/actors/etc. before I went back looked into their careers OJ, Jim Brown, Bubba Smith, Dick Butkus The ones I remember most were Fran Tarkenton as host of ""That's Incredible"" Merlin Olsen on ""Little House on the Prairie"" Alex Karras on ""Webster"" Shows you how much they got paid back then."

"Ah Fran Tarkenton bit before my time, when I started watching the Vikings Tommy (two minute) Kramer was the QB"

"Watching those 100 years film, you got names early in my time and before. Montana, Marino, Bradshaw, Tarkenton, Elway, maybe Young Brady and Brees are up there, Rodgers and Roethlisberger probably too. But let the rest show what they can do over a few season. People were talking about Michael Vick and Cam ""Superman"" Newton in these terms at one point."

"Matt Ryan must be feeling gutted. He threw almost the perfect game: 30/36, 356 yards, 4TDs and no interceptions yet still lost because of a porous defence and a missed extra point."

"Mahomes and Watson have had it easy so far with their decent offences, so until they do a few 4th quarter comebacks like Brady a couple of years ago, fuck em ;o) Was watching Ridiculousness recently which is a hardcore version of You've Been Framed and they had a load of videos of Falcons fans after that comeback. Their reactions were fucking hilarious."

"Mahomes vs Watson is a battle we'll be watching for years to come in the AFC Wilson is the class of the NFC and may be the best int he league to do it currently, Matt Ryan is playing at an MVP level but his defence is so bad that he's getting Zero notice for how well he's playing. Seems to be a lot of up and coming young QBs in Jackson, Allen, Darnold, mayfield, Murray, Minshew, even Brissett and Jimmy G havent made many starts so will be interesting to see if any of them develop into ELITE QBs"

"Couple of absolute bombs to Diggs. And then he tried his best to fuck up Cousins stats by dropping absolute dolly's the rest of the game. Sort of feel the general QB standard isn't currently that great, so with Brady, big Ben and Brees on their last legs with Rodgers not far behind them, where is the next hall of famer from?"

"Still revelling in the Niners squashing of the Rams. Shame the Seahawks scrambled back, but you can't have everything."

I agree he's not the best quarterback going but i think you could also do a lot worse in this league. Sure i saw something saying since he's come into the league only Brady has more wins than him as a starter

There's a lot better than Zak out there despite what the current QBR might say.
