That said, I think NYG are making a big mistake with Saquon. That dude was a huge reason they made the playoffs last year. Jones isn't repeating that season without him.
The Giants should have skipped out on Daniel Jones imo. I'd rather have 3-4 years of prime Saquon while looking for a qb upgrade. But they have been bad for so long that ownership probably just said fuck it, make the playoffs again. [Reply]

More reasons to move on from Danny Pennies. Do not pay Running Backs... [Reply]
I have already seen people saying the NFL needs to fix this or they are gonna have a future problem where no one wants to play RB because they know they don't get paid, so top athletes coming up from high school will avoid that position. [Reply]

Yeah, the whining on social media by the poor RBs has been pretty insufferable this week. Poor, downtrodden millionaire athletes being checked by the laws of supply and demand. Very sad. [Reply]

I'd still have put my electrician career on hold for a few years just for practics squad money. If they wont do it call me up. I run a 4.2x and have a 14" member. [Reply]

T hi s will limit the number of skilled backs and make them more valuable. The free market will work. [Reply]

Chubb’s doing OK on his second contract.
Funny that the Brownies were smart enough to opt for a 3-year deal for Chubb then turned around and gave Watson that abomination of a contract. [Reply]
Details: — Joe Mixon took a $4.39M pay cut this year and a $4.67M pay cut next year. — The 2023 base is $5.51M and he can make an extra $2M per year in incentives. — This opens up the possibility of him sticking around next year, too. https://t.co/FUHy7Zpw6h

Was glad to see this. Seems like he's lost a step or two, so not great for the Bengals, but I do still need him to grind out some production for my dynasty team. [Reply]
