Cowboys expected to release WR Dev Bryant today, barring an unexpected last-minute change of heart, per @toddarcher and me. But the plan going into meeting that is now underway was to part ways with Bryant.

Bryant is pretty good but way over-rated in the same way many Cowboys end up being. Even when he was really fast earlier in his career, the guy seemed to me to drop a ton of balls. Don't think he was anywhere top level as like Julio Jones or Calvin Johnson.

You chuck the ball around for well over 4000 yards or more every year, someone is going to catch 80 balls and have a 1000 yard season.

Someone might pay for the brand name, but at best Bryant is a #2 receiver now that's going to have to muscle for short passes and I don't know if he's got the hands to stick and get paid at that job.

I'd put bets on the Hatcats trying to sign him, that seems like a dopey move they would make.

One thing that cracks me up about every NFL off seasons is that no matter who the player is or plays, if they are available and worth talking about on sports radio, they automatically become a player of interest for the Jets.

sounds like a perfect fit for the cincy bengals tbh

rip dez on the cowboys i'm glad i was able to break this important story on ilx

Mordy, Friday, 13 April 2018 22:28 (six years ago) link

eh lucky guess

Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 13 April 2018 22:31 (six years ago) link

Bengals usually like to develop their own 'talent', Mike Brown is usually way too cheap to sign free agents.

Adam Jones is still available on the free agent market I believe. Wild man has now played 11 years in the NFL and that is something that seemed really unlikely in his first couple years in the pros.

I also saw that Richie Incognito has called it a career because of 'pain'. I'd say one of the more infamous players of his time.

“Let’s make sure that we keep this confidential,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said to begin the session.

The New York Times has obtained an audio recording of the roughly three-hour meeting, and several people in the room corroborated details of the gathering.

kind of a nothing story

the owner who wanted to model the league's PR after the fucking NRA tho...

k3vin k., Wednesday, 25 April 2018 20:53 (six years ago) link

hey guys, i wrote a draft guide:

mayfield - "system qb" likely to be wrecked by the browns or whoever else takes him
darnold - "high floor low ceiling"
allen - can make all the throws inaccurately
rosen - red flag on 3rd down comp%, projects as a gabbert
jackson - ?????

enjoy round 1, should be a spectacle.

Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 26 April 2018 15:19 (six years ago) link

i'm really excited to see how the browns screw up this year in spite of the huge influx of talent they're accumulating

Mordy, Thursday, 26 April 2018 17:04 (six years ago) link

feels primed for a couple of teams to do something crazy and/or stupid and the browns always have to factor into that conversation

Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 26 April 2018 17:18 (six years ago) link

NFL.com reporter Ian Rapoport suggested the offensive tweets wouldn’t cause Allen’s stock to drop in Thursday’s first round.

bullshit

Mordy, Thursday, 26 April 2018 18:52 (six years ago) link

now all the scouts who raved about allen can cite the tweets as an excuse for why he didn't go higher instead of the numerous red flags in his skillset and past performance

808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Thursday, 26 April 2018 18:55 (six years ago) link

hopefully he's learned

k3vin k., Thursday, 26 April 2018 19:00 (six years ago) link

Josh Allen money coming in to be the 1st pick right now. Down to +500. Baker Mayfield the -250 favorite. Action insane.

Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 27 April 2018 00:29 (six years ago) link

Browns made the right choice

There's no position harder to draft correctly than QB and the Browns front office has a dismal record at sniffing out who can make the jump to the pros. I give Mayfield about 4 to 1 against his being a franchise QB, but no QB pick is ever much better than 50-50, so every dip in the QB draft pool is a gamble.

I would have picked Saquan Barkley as a sure thing and taken whatever top QB prospect was left on the board by the time their next pick came around, but I have no illusions that I'd do better than the Browns front office irl.

broncos and colts with 2 great picks in a row, p gross. hoped colts might do something dumb. miss ryan grigson on days like this.

I like the Bears getting Roquan Smith from Georgia. That guy was pretty impressive in the games I saw.

earlnash, Friday, 27 April 2018 04:51 (six years ago) link

My favorite part of that Baker Mayfield photo thing is the Wes Anderson level of background details. Especially his buddy with the blond wig.

El Tomboto, Friday, 27 April 2018 05:30 (six years ago) link

jason witten retiring. HOF career no doubt but cowboys have added by subtracting two real albatrosses from last season now.

Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 27 April 2018 16:53 (six years ago) link

NFL is definitely moving closer and closer to pro wrestling, but this was pretty funny. Did not hear about the Drew Pearson appearance in Philly last draft.

Vita Vea looks like he is havin' fun. That might be my favorite NFL player name now.
