I'd rather listen to 5 hours of Aikman scratching his fingernails across a blackboard & singing the Cowboys fight song instead of 5 minutes of Bayless speaking about any topic.
Detroit must be very desperate for tallant on their D-Line:
DEFENSIVE LINE (11)
Making cut: Ziggy Ansah, Devin Taylor, Wallace Gilberry, Brandon Copeland, Anthony Zettel, Kerry Hyder,Haloti Ngata, Tyrunn Walker, A’Shawn Robinson, Khyri Thornton, Stefan Charles
Missing cut: Caraun Reid, Gabe Wright

Crazy.
Drew Brees signed a five-year contract "extension", with three voidable years and reduces his $30 million cap hit this year.
While the Sitton thing is still infuriating, glad we have TT managing our cap. Saints are just pushing the pain out a few more years.......
Jerry is also good at that. Romo is a Cowboy at least through 2017 b/c of the deferred money - cutting Romo this offseason triggers ~$20m in dead money. Insane for a 37 year old QB that has broken his back twice and collarbone twice in the last 3 years.
Very surprised by this.
Joey Bosa been chomping at bit to help team, hoped to make Sunday debut. But that goal likely out of reach now. Has yet to practice in pads.

That's because they don't give a $hit about the future. They'll (Payton/Brees) be gone & pass all the crap onto the next regime.
It's the Bobby Beathard principle. Remember how he kept trading next years first rounder? Same thing...

Holding out all that time must've been hard on his hammies. He's been nursing one for a couple of weeks or so now...
One of these things is not like the other......
| David Bakhtiari (LT) | 1 |
| Lane Taylor (LG) | 28 |
| JC Tretter (C) | 3 |
| TJ Lang (RG) | 3 |
| Bryan Bulaga (RT) | 1 |
So you are saying it is Lane Taylor's fault that Rodgers can't pass the ball accurately.
NFL1000, PFF's 50 drunks, or McGinn. Just a bunch of guys writing for clicks.
And this isn't the first time someone has implied there is a connection.
Agree with MM. Tough to get guys to stay healthy when your training is limited, especially when football is so hard on the body. They wanted less time for training due for prevention of injuries, but it has backfired.
Packers trade for CB, Darqueze Dennard. Nope, don't see TT doing it. He already made his one trade for this decade.
So we are going to trade for the Bengals 4th CB, who would be their 5th if not for injury? This writer feels this trade should happen? Why?
I'm sure the Bungels would love to unload his 2 million cap number, but why would GB want to take that on? A change in location could yield positive results, but not for that kind of coin. Knile Davis is charging $400K to the cap, that's why he was as good an option as there was available...low risk/high reward is the name of the game.
Some times you have to actually take some risk for actual high reward.
That said, I'm not sure Dennard is high risk or high reward. Nor is Davis really.
"High reward" is a relative term that varies by position. A high reward for a CB is getting INTs and not allowing passes (among other things obviously), a much harder feat to accomplish. High cap number for unknown reward is the problem with Dennard. Maybe he only costs a late round pick, which is tolerable, but would you pay $2M for production that may or may not be better than what Gunter already produces? If you're going to take a high risk on a player who will cost some coin, go for someone you actually know can play in this league, like Joe Haden.
The upside to Davis is that you have an OLine that can open holes in the run game, holes that even bad RBs could run through. Low investment for a player who could potentially contribute well. If he doesn't contribute or gets hurt, you're only out $400K and a late round pick. Much more tolerable.

It would be BOLD!
Bold and Spicy Pack of Scrubs! Get your's today!
NE traded Jamie Collins to Cleveland today for a future third round pick.
This trade makes all kinds of sense. To absolutely no one. At all. I mean, first Bill sends Chandler Jones to AZ and now Jamie Collins?
Im sorry, but this one is going to bite Bill in the ass. Yes, Jamie was in a contract year. But WTF kind of move is this?!?!?!
After trading for him, #Packers saw 5 carries for 5 yards from Knile Davis. They made the quick evaluation that it was enough. Released him
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 31, 2016
I thought Knile was ready to turn the corner. Or at least get to the corner. For a loss on the carry.
Darn. I was waiting to used "Knile before Zod" when he scored a TD in the game thread.
Or just maybe crafty teddy traded for him and told fat Mike to make him look bad and then cut him so nobody picks him up so he doesn't owe a draft pick just to bring him back and he gains 3000 yards before the end of the season
Andre Johnson retires after 14 years. One of the good ones.
Looks like Davis' roster spot is about to be taken by Linsley, who is eligible to be activated. Per JSO, Tretter hurt his knee on the second to last play and had to be helped to walk from the locker room.
Linsley was on the PUP right? Not the IR so we still would have the designated to return option for Lacy or Shields.
Lacy or Shields. That would be a tough decision if both became available.
Wouldn't be shocked if Shields never plays another down for the Packers.
They have two weeks after they begin practicing again to decide, correct? Will come down to; 1) The health / condition of each player 2) The health and performance level of the other players at their position. 3) The long term plans the organization has for each player.

He's in love with rookie Elandon Roberts and has backups of Mingo, Van Noy and McClellin, all of whom he acquired this year.
Media reports say the guy traded HATES watching football, would rather play video games. Not a BB type guy. Also selfish in a Darren Sharper kind of way out there.
