Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I've read before that the safest helmet is no helmet. If players thing they're safe, they're more apt to use their helmet as a weapon or put themselves in precarious positions.

speaking of football helmet design I noticed that my nephews new youth football helmet seems to have a different shape than the traditional helmet. It seems flatter than the more traditional round shape. Its almost like a bike helmet with not as much of a dome. I can't find any pictures on line that match it. I'll try to get a picture.

Maybe its just been so long since I have seen a good heavy duty football helmet up close that it looks different.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Eagles landed AJ Dillon

wpr (10h) : The Eagles are signing former Packers running back AJ Dillon, a league source confirms.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Might be waiting for the right place, or right cash, or both

dhazer (10h) : I can't believe Chubb is still a free agent why wouldnt someone take a chance on him he is a stud with stuff to prove

Zero2Cool (12h) : I wanna find it too

Zero2Cool (12h) : if they find it, i wanna know how !!

dfosterf (12h) : According to the OTC cap figures, Miami has one minute to find 10.3 million in cap space lol

Martha Careful (16h) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (18h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (18h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (18h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (18h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (18h) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (18h) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (19h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (19h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (19h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (20h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (20h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (20h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (20h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (20h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

Zero2Cool (12-Mar) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (11-Mar) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (11-Mar) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Er getting traded twice like that
