If this is the case, I'm sick thinking about how Seattle actually went ALL IN and we're standing by looking for crumbs from the table...

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."

But what happens if you go all in and lose? Then you're broke, bum.

Seahawks are betting on that they resign Richardson... and maybe they can.

Trading Richardson never was going to be an easy proposition, and perhaps the Jets are just not finding any takers. The 26-year-old defensive lineman/linebacker is immensely talented. He won the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2013 and went to the Pro Bowl in 2014. But off-the-field issues, suspensions and a recent drop-off in production have made him more difficult to trade than a few years ago.

Then, there is his contract situation. Richardson, entering the final year of his deal, is scheduled to make $8.1 million this season. He has not been shy about his desire to land a huge contract, with some speculation he would seek a $100 million deal.

Makes me wonder if they are going to hold Adams over the roster, or by looking, does that indicate they aren't? I think they're IRing Adams, tomorrow, and that's why they're looking.

BTW, YOU read Bob McGinn? LOL. 🙂

I have a couple of twitter items open in tabs, including journal sentinel's packers beat writers, which I guess still list McGinn and post his stuff as well.

Frankly, without a lot of luck we're at best a 12-4 team this year. Wouldn't be shocked if we went 10-6.

On O, the OL, is as weak as it's been starting 5 and the backups are laughable. How many more years of this will we have to suffer through?

12-4 is aiming high for a team with this many issues. Week 1 is going to be interesting watching our overmatched OL take on their overpowering DL. Only saving grace is Seattle sucks on the road and we have RW's number on D for some reason.

Disagree on OL we have one of the best sets of starting tackles in the league with a good C and solid LG. Didn't see or hear anything this summer about Evans to have me worried there either. Back ups are a joke this year but I certainly wouldn't say we've suffered at OL in recent years.

I mean, is it completely insane to consider that we could sweep the division? I'd be shocked if we did worse than 4-2. Browns and panthers? Falcons? Saints? Ravens? Seahawks on the road we could easily lose to but we should win. I mean really, which 4 games do we need to luck out completely to win/have no chance of winning?
