    Eagles lose Swift, get Saquon Barkley

    probably true. it also makes the offense more dynamic. once again I question whether he performs well enough late in the contract but for a couple years, Sequon is gonna be the man

    New Falcons QB: Kirk Cousins

    I like the post. but the difference is the amount of guaranteed money with Jackson, a running QB who likely performs well enough over 2 or 3 years but likely doesnt perform at that level for the rest of the contract. running QB's are mostly done by 30 or 31 (often sooner) unless they can transition to become more of a pocket passer. Cousins contract guarantees all of year 1 and 2 and if he doesnt perform, the buyout at that point shouldnt be too bad. and I think he likely has 2 good years left. after that it does get dicey but hes not got a lot of guaranteed money at that point. its a completely different level of committment. he wont get you a superbowl, but he likely gets the WR onto the next stage of their development which wasnt gonna happen with any other QB on the roster.

    Sam Darnold to the Vikings

    well, maybe not that cheap, but I'm thinking 3-4 M should be the max you should be paying this guy unless you expect him to start a significant number of games. even if that is the case...., I'd do a base salary of (lets say 4M) and a bonus based on games started and maybe wins as well.

    New Falcons QB: Kirk Cousins

    true. this is still a band aid solution. Cousins likely only has a year or two left in the tank. team needs a permanent solution at some point.

    Sam Darnold to the Vikings

    yeah, I dont know about this. 10M? for Darnold? maybe hes the backup and they draft someone. so maybe you pay a bit more for him because he may have to start a few games, but Yeeesh. That said, the Vikings were running with an old QB in Cousins. he likely had a year or two left only and is he worth the cash? likely cousins didnt want to sign a contract without a pile of guaranteed money. hes been all about the money since day one. (one reason I was never a huge fan) long term maybe this is the right move. but there are certainly growing pains associated with that move. Thats for sure

    Tee Higgins Seeking a Trade

    I hear you. Granted he wasnt the first option in the offense so there is some meat left on the bone. he can do better if hes not the #2. but hes also against #1 corners instead of #2 corners. so these things dont always work out the way you think they will. there is considerable risk in signing a guy like this unless you already have a 1A type WR where they form another dymamic duo. maybe one where he is the lead dog instead of the 1A

    Ravens Get a Running Back: Derrick Henry

    sadly there is a fair chance that he is done. I'll of course at some point take a look at the injury and see what the chances are of him coming back from it. if my memory is correct it was an achilles and that is a bad injury for RB but not impossible to come back from. If he does come back, I'd bet it would be one more full year before hes ready for a starting role. That said, I know little about the seriousness of the injury and how invasive the surgery needed to be. and given his injury history, maybe the team just wants to move on anyhow. Behind this line, I'd say Henry is good for at least a year, maybe two and they can draft a kid to learn from him for a year or so before assuming starting duties.

    Tee Higgins Seeking a Trade

    he also likely thinks he could be some teams #1 WR. he may think hes overlooked in cincy.

    New Falcons QB: Kirk Cousins

    agreed. London with a QB who can actually throw the ball is a very appealing option

    Ravens Get a Running Back: Derrick Henry

    this is a place where a guy like Henry makes sense. I think he fits the offense. Staying on a rebuilding Titans team made no sense.

    Chi3fs release MVS/ tag Sneed

    I was thinking the same when I saw the move. dude has some serious butter fingers. cost the Chiefs at least one game with his drops. hes a nice player to have as depth, with a few gadget plays you can add to the playbook to take advantage of his speed, but at best hes a third WR on most teams. given his salary that made him a very easy cut to make.

    Top 5 Fantasy Football WRs for 2024

    it is certainly possible. I love the talent this guy has. I viewed him as pretty much a cant miss pick at the NFL draft in his draft year and he has not disappointed.

    Top 5 Fantasy Football WRs for 2024

    I dont know if hes that much of a dark horse.... hes a pretty damn good WR. another step in his development (assuming he hasnt peaked yet) and he could be deadly good.

    Axe Elf - A Retrospective

    This is the one thing some cant wrap their head around..... if we all agreed on who was the better player, trades would almost never happen and all drafts would be predictable. so I always welcomed the debate and usually enjoyed the argument. some enjoy it more than others and some take it personally but at the end of the day everyone is entitled to an opinion and if that opinion is different from your own, so be it. either way, with some luck his health will improve and he will pop by once in a while to stir things up. haha

    Axe Elf - A Retrospective

    Well Axe, all I can say is I wish you good health. despite everything there are more important things than football and I know enough to know if you dont have your health you dont have a lot. Hopefully this isnt your last hurrah but I've enjoyed our debates. We dont always agree but I've always respected your opinion. sometimes it was your delivery of said opinion that created some friction around here but the opinion itself was often sound. anyhow good luck. and take care.
