The Titans are the rumor for him but hopefully Saleh wants defense. If not I would assume the NYG goes D. What do you guys want/ expect for your teams? An edge at 9. We need to be able to create pressure up front. Also need to draft some corners. Quote
cmh6476 Posted April 1 Posted April 1 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-replacement-referees-nflra-lockout-intensifies/ NFL authorized to hire replacement referees as threat of NFLRA lockout intensifies Replacement referees are on the way for the first time since 2012 https://sportshub.cbsistatic.com/i/r/2025/09/19/512022fb-5e16-4f64-ab22-3f62d8451765/thumbnail/80x80/b48000eb623d66d1e54f6197a83f01b3/carterbahns700.png By Carter Bahns Mar 30, 2026 at 12:11 pm ET•2 min read With the threat of a referees lockout becoming more perilous by the day, the NFL continues to move forward with hiring and training replacement referees for use during the 2026 season. Last week, CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones detailed how dire the situation had become: ... With negotiations at a standstill, the league has started to make contingency plans if it does not have its full suite of officials for the 2026 regular season. If no deal is met by the start of the year, not only will the league use replacement officials again, 14 years after a disastrous first month with them during the last lockout, but next week NFL team owners will vote on a temporary rules proposal that will allow the league's centralized officiating command center to weigh in on flags thrown and not thrown on plays. According to ESPN, league owners are "alarmed" by the state of negotiations between the NFL and NFL Referees Association and authorized the onboarding of replacement referees in the coming weeks. The training of those officials will begin May 1. This is a major step towards replacement referees calling games for the first time since 2012, and it comes a couple of weeks after the NFL began to build a list of college officials it could bring on if necessary. The collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and NFLRA expires May 31, and the sides are far apart in their negotiations. The arrival of replacement referees adds another wrinkle to the stalemate and could make it even more difficult to strike a deal in time to avoid a lockout. Negotiations began in summer 2024 but have come with little progress. The NFLRA continues to give little ground in response to the league's requests, which center around improving officials' performance. The sides met last week and were scheduled for two days of talks, but those discussions ended after the first day's morning session, according to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones. "We believe that there's an opportunity here to improve our officiating and improve the performance and improve the accountability around it," NFL EVP Jeff Miller said last week. "And we will pay for performance. That's not the issue. And we'll continue to drive that point with our officials. And hopefully they'll be willing to engage with us on those terms increasingly as we get closer to the expiration." The NFL aims to reward its top-performing officials with better pay and assign them to the most prominent postseason games. It seeks to increase training and education for the lower-performing officials and to reduce the three-month offseason dead period to bring them aboard earlier in the year. Increasing referee accountability is also a top priority. If the union does not budge on those asks, the replacement referees will arrive in a matter of weeks. And in an effort to assist the lower-level college officials, NFL owners will vote this week on a temporary rules proposal that would allow the league's command center to call or adjust penalties in real time. There have been two referee work stoppages in league history. The first came in 2001 when replacement referees worked the first week of the regular season, and the most recent was in 2012 when the temporary officials worked through Week 3. That 2012 lockout saw immense scrutiny of the replacement referees, especially after the infamous "Fail Mary" game between the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers. Quote
The PosterFormerlyKnownAs Posted April 1 Posted April 1 9 minutes ago, cmh6476 said: The only issue I have is the assignment of playoff refs by tenure rather than performance … that is detrimental to the most important games getting it right. The raise is monopoly (literally) money, and training has never really seemed to work well … if it did, they would just hire new cheaper folks each year. Quote

Maximum Overkill Posted April 2 Posted April 2 TreVeyon Henderson lends support to Bulls guard cut after anti-LGBTQ+ statements Speaking to reporters at the annual NFL owners’ meetings in Phoenix, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel stressed the need for his players to recognize the “fine line” between expressing their personal beliefs and remembering that they “represent the team.” Vrabel’s comments were in response to a question regarding running back TreVeyon Henderson’s recent posts on social media. The Chicago Bulls’ decision to cut guard Jaden Ivey after he made several anti-LGBTQ+ comments on an Instagram livestream caught the attention of Henderson, who has been very outspoken about his Christian faith. Commenting on a social media video that included Ivey’s opposition to the NBA’s Pride Month initiatives as a celebration of “unrighteousness,” Henderson posted a verse from the Bible on X. Quote

Hes been decsnt enough and teams pay decent qbs big money. Thr ATL deal never made any sense when they turned around and drafted Penix. No idea what they were trying to do. Quote
listen2me 23 Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Hes had a lot of small re ups. Its really not as crazy as people think. Not saying Cousins is some great QB. But he had a long run of being good at least. He was franchised twice in DC. Signed a full guaranteed the fiest ever with Minny. 2 years later signed a 2 year contract extention. Then a 1 year. Then ATL randomly forked over a big contract. People see where he ranks all time in earnings. Well....its not going to be a QB from back in the day. Its like any sport. Hes had a long career in the money making era. Quote
Hardcore troubadour Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 Lots of drama in Philly being directed at the QB. Hard To coach, poor body language. It ain’t just AJ Quote
Maximum Overkill Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Just now, Hardcore troubadour said: poor body language He has no body language Don't read too much into it, they've been saying that in Philly since he was drafted. 2 Superbowls, 1 Superbowl win and a Superbowl MVP later, what's the problem? It obviously isn't a huge problem Quote

listen2me 23 Posted April 7 Posted April 7 1 or 2 may hit. But I think the 3 Ohio St defenders are overrated. The 2 backers definitely have it all in the measurable department so they have a runway to being real good. But I think they are overrated as is. Maybe its just a bad class. Quote

listen2me 23 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 I like Wicks for what he is. But love the haul they got back. This frees their room up to draft another Wicks to try and develop. Quote

Hardcore troubadour Posted April 11 Author Posted April 11 They will be getting those picks back ten fold when they deal AJ. If they don’t deal him this trade stinks. There is already a WR room with a bunch of complaining going on. They better get the ring leader out of there. The QB always wins. Quote

This draft sucks If they do get a 2026 1st they'll f definitely be trading up. The Eagles have quietly had a really solid off season thus far, very Rosemanish. 1 Quote
