So would this mean Roethlisberger is officially done, in Pittsburgh anyways?

I'd think this would give them a little bit of leverage to coax him to restructure that $41m cap hit, at the least.

Ben is due a big roster bonus in March. He will probably have to renegotiate or risk being released before that is due.

Lions actively looking to trade Matt Stafford. Saints? Colts? WFT? 

And in the LOL Department, the Dolphins have hired Charlie Frye to be their quarterbacks coach.

The guy from CBS Radio (Pittsburgh) is often on the local Cleveland CBS affiliate (92.3) and said he would feel confident with Haskins/Rudolph/Dobbs starting the season as Pittsburgh's QB's. As a Browns fan, so would we. lol

Probably wouldn’t be a big difference

Watson has officially requested a trade from the Texans.

NFL is going to have to figure out what to do about this.  The elite guys are wanting $50M, even $100M guaranteed for some QB's and you just can't do that if a guy is going to demand a trade a year after signing.

And obviously Antonio Brown did that to 2-3 teams.

You tell him to fuck off.  He signed an extension, so figure out how to make it work with him.  Not to mention there is also a franchise tag option once the contract expires. A lot can change in three years.  He could easily change his mind.   There is 0 reason for the Texans to trade a  26 year old franchise QB.

Stafford to the Rams for Goff, 2 first rounders, and a third rounder.

Stafford to the Rams for Goff, 2 first rounders, and a third rounder. 

Absurd.

Jared Goff was Rams last 1st-round pick in 2016; since then, they’ve traded away their next 7 1st-round picks:

•2017: Traded to Titans
•2018: Traded to Pats
•2019: Traded to Falcons
•2020: Traded to Jags
•2021: Traded to Jags
•2022: Traded to Lions
•2023: Traded to Lions

Rams are operating like a NBA team.  

Big price to pay for a guy whose career history is "good/great fantasy numbers; no big wins".

Honestly I think they paid more to get out of the money owed to Goff then Stafford

I agree. But eager to see him with a real franchise. Lions may be the only franchise run worse than Browns since 1999.

Oh man, these videos are great.

Time to get fitted for that blazer, C-Wood.

A lot of "boo hooing" by Bills and Steeler fans that Stefanski got selected over McDermott for COY and Aaron Donald was picked over TJ Watt for DPOY. Both that were selected were more deserving.

Looks like Russell Wilson is taking notes from Deshaun Watson and trying to find a "classy" way out of Seattle, complaining about his pass protection. Some may not know this but back in 2017 Seattle inquired about trying to move Wilson to the Browns for the #1 overall pick which turned out to be Myles Garrett.

Pouncey twins retiring.

JJ Watt released.

The cap is completely messed-up this year, @ $25M lower than last year.  Some teams, like PIT, are way over.  Other teams have a ton of cap space, so they have a competitive advantage NOT to vote to make it higher.

Fair and equitable would have been to spread the 2020 covid losses over the remaining 10 years of the CBA.  But if you're NYJ, for example, you've got $75M to spend and a chance to scoop up a bunch of cap cuts at a discount with much less money sloshing around in FA than typical years.

Yeah, about that...

Mike Maccagnan may have been the worst GM in the history of the NFL. Certainly the worst in the history of the Jets.

Well the Chris Doyle thing was really weird.
