FOLES RUSH IN: 2018 nfl qb carousel and miscellaneous offseasoning thread

mayfield trying to lead the team in singing "take me home country road" and no one sings along

i really want to disengage from nfl media but you're not making it easy

myles garrett looks like he has his shit together too

they gotta replace that coaching tho

jarvis landry is the worst player that ppl seem to care about

episode opens w/ ppl taking down the big lebron poster

Diehard #Jaguars fan Tim Richert says he ordered a custom Jags jersey from the NFL Shop. He claims he got this - with the #Patriots logo on the front. “I was devastated to see this atrocity even exists, and for it to happen to me was perceived as a slight to all Jags fans.” pic.twitter.com/mpoYIckTSr

perfect qbr from tyrod taylor and mayfield looked hot too apparently. i feel like it's going to be pretty exciting to see cleveland's offense finally start to click and then have their season totally derailed by gregg williams

Guice ACL tear

The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with first-round pick Roquan Smith, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal is for the slotted amount of $18 million guaranteed over four years. A source told Schefter the contract should include about $11 million in bonuses.

Selected with the eighth overall pick in the draft, Smith had been the last unsigned rookie in the NFL. Part of the reason for his holdout has been language in his contract that would allow the team to reclaim guaranteed money if the linebacker is suspended under the NFL's new helmet-contact rules, a source previously confirmed to ESPN.

this league is always pioneering new ways to be horseshit

lol

JUST IN: Starting today, @budlight is installing “Victory Fridges” that will be full of beer in 10 Cleveland bars. When the Browns win first regular season game, fridges unlock and beer inside is free to fans. pic.twitter.com/DkRWkVkLkx

I was gonna say, if I wasn't talking shit but there's not really a case where I'm not talking shit.

2nd ep hue just berating his players for not practicing to his satisfaction real healthy organization they've got there i wonder if this is what it was like playing for chip kelly soul crushing

MYLES GARRETT IS A POET

"i was a boy who liked to write long before i was a man who liked to hit people"

entertaining season, but browns seem deeply dysfunctional

Is that quote real bc that’s amazing

In Cleveland: A receiver is struggling to catch the ball in practice. Hue "punishes" him by requiring him to catch *30* balls from the JUGS machine after practice. His coaches & the GM watch from folding chairs as he literally counts to 30.

my favorite variation of above is people on twitter who are morally superior to NFL fans yet love the WWE, where all its veterans live til 60 before ODing or killing themselves or someone else and who's power structure is actually directly tied to the Trump org and Linda McMahon serves in the administration

these people usually care about anime

the NFL without question is bad for humanity, but the eagles are good

I’d root for the Eagles either way but it’s nice that they’ve made it so easy by being so likable.

lol'd at these, @dril tweet season previews

NFC
AFC

washington one is great

sports agents have to be some of the worst ppl alive right? look at these goddamn pantomime villains. looks like they're kidnapping him or holding him hostage. gronk's constant slight bewilderment is not helping obv.

While do those dudes look bigger than gronk who is a literal giant

it's a trick of the eye. gronk is sitting 20-feet behind those men.

At what point is it safe to say that Baker Mayfield is the greatest Browns QB since ‘99? Can we say it now or do we have to wait for the regular season to start?

i believe you are talking about tyrod taylor?

Safe to say Drew Stanton as well.

hey, that's cool

After debating it during the regular season, Jason Witten has ended his NFL retirement to return to the Dallas Cowboys.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 28, 2019

Witten's commentary got a little better over the course of the season, but I guess he realized he was never going to be Tony Romo

"sports agents have to be some of the worst ppl alive right? look at these goddamn pantomime villains. looks like they're kidnapping him or holding him hostage. gronk's constant slight bewilderment is not helping obv."

I believe I saw a comic in 2000AD that a sports agent had to eat a complete Gronk before it was allowed to manage a Gronk. It might have been in Strontium Dog.

Kellen Winslow is still doing creep crimes

Foles to the Jags, 4/88

that's where I was hoping he'd go, who knows if it'll work out but it will be neat to see this Jags team with an actual QB

(would've been neater last year, but still)

rumors are desean jackson back to philly
