Nobody to the Bengals, per usual.

Diggs traded to the Bills for four draft picks, including a 1st. Houston got trade raped in that Hopkins deal.

Well, this should make Justin and any Fins/Bills fans happy. TB12 just announced he will NOT be returning to the Patriots. Division should be wide open with the Bills the favorites.

I revise my earlier guess of the Raiders to the Chargers.

Tampa....boatload of weapons and due to Brady's stipulations of 1) he calls the plays and 2) he has control over the roster. Arians & Brady are on the same career path. About 2 more years and they're both done. Arians doesn't care...just wants a ring.

Yeah, I could see Tampa for sure. And then whoever lands Winston may be getting a great deal.

Yeah, the Chargers seem to be out of the mix. Somewhat wacky prediction? Tom Brady's New England roommate and Bruce Arians former player, Antonio "Batshit" Brown joins the Bucs receiving corps.

Bears, Chargers and.......Patriots have requested medical records on Cam Newton. Never thought of Newton teaming up with Belichick to replace TB12.

Surprised but not surprised. That was a lot of money for a RB who many are expecting to have knee issues that are going to be chronic. The money they gave Goff pretty much made it easy to get rid of TGs contract

One of the top corners in the league, Darius Slay, got traded from the Lions to the Eagles yesterday. Wonder why he was so unhappy? Looks like Matt Patricia has a little bit of that Hoodie "dickiness" to him...

Justin Rogers@Justin_Rogers

Slay said Matt Patricia told him he had no business working out with guys like Richard Sherman and Aqib Talib because those guys were elite and Slay was just good.

So much insane stuff has happened. But of course the Cowboys haven't done much of anything and aren't interested in any of the big name FAs that are actual needs for the team. 

Saw something crazy with Gurley going to Atlanta that 10 out of the 11 projected offensive starters were 1st round picks.

And Atlanta will still be lucky to go 8-8.

Probably they shouldn't have gotten rid of Sark as the OC. Dirk Koetter is terrible. As long as Matt Ryan and Julio continue to do well yards/receptions wise (Julio could start getting more TDs though) I will be happy.

Heard one of Pittsburgh's radio guys (on the local CLE station) say that the "smart" move would be for the Steelers to make a run at Crab Legs Winston and give Roethlisberger the boot. Would likely not happen due to Fat Boy's legacy but this guy said that Pittsburgh is set up for a playoff tun in 2020 and the biggest question mark is QB. Implied Roethlisberger, by his looks, has been in quarantine much longer than anyone else and believes he's more likely to have Doritos stashed in his hand muff warmer than the play call list.

That’s easy talk radio. I don’t trust 30 interception Winston to mesh in very well for more than a 9-7 type thing. I will give Ben one last chance to be average and make some plays and maybe catch some fire. I still don’t have big hopes but putting $30 million on Winston is a no.

If you've seen other pictures/videos of Ben, he doesn't look anything like the "fat slob" that was bundled up in baggy, winter clothes on the sidelines back in December.  He's got a horrible beard, but he's probably in better shape this time of year than he has been in some previous years.

And he just said he's throwing pain-free for the first time in years.  He's going to be good this year.

I don’t look at a lot of Ben pics. I trust he’ll be pain free and healthy....I worry of his ability to get away, stay healthy an he’s been throwing bad interceptions in big moments the last couple years. If he can minimize the turnovers he’ll be plenty good.

Carolina signs the best player from the XFL, PJ Walker, the QB from Houston. Apparently he has a connection with Matt Rhule, I think he played for him in college.

We will see if he still throws a lot of picks now that he does not 'have' to force it to AB.

Looked it up and in 2018, BR and AB hooked up for 15 TDs, but 11 of his 16 ints came when he was throwing to AB.  He forced a lot of balls to AB, whehter it was pressure to keep him happy but I think mostly because AB was an amazing talent and BR went his way because AB made plays.
