I wouldn't say it's a power struggle, more like one of them is trapped in a burning building, and the other keeps trying to put the fire out with gasoline.
McNair is just doing his best Woody Johnson and Martha Ford impersonations.

He's probably pissed at McNair for lying to him about having input in who the next GM and HC will be, but I'd put good money down that the real disdain is towards Easterby. [Reply]
Bledsoe is another example. Traded within the division at 30. There was serious debate over whether that was a wise move at the time, especially after NE missed the playoffs. Right in hindsight, but Brady was a game manager at the time. [Reply]
If you're McNair and you've got at least 5 or 6 brain cells somewhere in that noggin of yours, you'd choose keeping Deshaun Watson on the team over Jack fucking Easterby, right?
But that's apparently not what's going to happen. He's actually going to keep that goddamn snake over his franchise QB.
Unbelievable.
I know KC's front office structure doesn't operate the same way, but if I were Clark and I found out somebody like Mark Donovan so much as told a bad joke to Mahomes, I'd want his ass fired immediately. [Reply]
Albert Breer of SI.com supplies another reason for Watson’s consternation. Per Breer, Watson advocated for the Texans to hire Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. The Texans, however, became the only team with a vacancy to not even interview Bieniemy.
Breer explains that Mahomes “put in a strong word” for Bieniemy, which prompted Watson to push for Bieniemy. The Texans, who had said they’d consult with Watson, ignored Watson’s suggestion. And that undoubtedly has contributed to the consternation and frustration that Watson is currently feeling. [Reply]
Watson has a no trade clause so he can pick where he wants to go. My hope is that he's so disgusted with this patriot way tunnel vision bullshit that he'll stop a bellichick solid and avoid new England like the plague.
Would love to see him in the nfc. Da bears and sf would be great overnight. Sf would have way better cap flexibility to pull it off. [Reply]

Exactly.
Jack Easterby is the Joel Osteen of football. [Reply]

Cutler was AWFUL in the redzone, I understood completely why he traded that guy. I was hoping Denver would keep him. That might have been the only smart move he made, haha [Reply]

:-):-):-):-):-) Worst job confirmed. Matt Eberflus won't even accept an interview request for the job. He'd rather spend his time interviewing with the Jets. [Reply]
