So.... Sanders is a pussy.

Piss on Gmo. He isn't worth a shit.
Agree on GMO. A lot of people were saying the same thing about Kumerow and Tonyan heading into last year as they are saying about Sternberger now and both were huge dissapointments, Not saying Sternberger isn't the real deal but he has to show up where others with expected high potential haven't and I think we need a much bigger sample size before we know if he is a player or not.
Jace was a 3rd round draft pick. Big Bad Bob and WW Jesus were UDFA's, so there is a different level of expectation.
I saw someone on twitter point out that the 2020 TE class is pretty mediocre and Stern likely would have been TE1 in this class. GB got pretty good value on him in R3 in 2019.

That's definitely good to hear!! Hope the kid excels as we definitely need more from the TE position.
It's also worth noting that Robert Tonyan dealt with a core muscle injury after that really good, but awkward catch he made on the sidelines and then went down. Kid wasn't the same since and he ended up having surgery. Apparently it went well and he's now good to go.
This is still Sternberger's starting job to lose, but for those wondering why Tonyan seemed to disappear, that's why.
Good to know on Tonyan. I like his speed and down-the-field potential.
As for those saying that we got good value on Jace as a 3rd and this year he would have been a first, well, that still means he wasn't among the elites last year. Just because he might have been a first this year doesn't necessarily mean he has first-round talant; it's the level of talant that has to be judged overall, not where he might have landed a different year. Think about it this way: If he were the best of a bad class this year and were to be drafted in R1, he would still have the same talant, just more money -- and probably be labeled a draft mistake.
What round was Kittle taken in? And, why so low?
If only there were ways to find these answers, who knows what rounds players were drafted in the past? Such information is only kept with the wisest elders.
I know the round. I was making a point, Jerk.

Adios then. I know he doesn't like me.
Former #Browns & #Packers free agent S Damarious Randall just texted me he is going to the Las Vegas #Raiders on a 1-year deal.

Some free agents who sign will later be cut
when they fail their physical. But don't feel bad
because in the age of Corona they never really signed anyways.

This is wrong and over the line. You can be critical. But Cooper is a class act. Played through injuries all last season. Had the two most productive years of his career in Dallas. It is wrong and classless to call him a turd. https://t.co/Y3ZM5bt1jY

Thanks Hungry5 I found some Packers/Tiger King meme magic
Not sure how I contributed to that.
Todd Gurley posted that the Rams owe him bonus money that has not been paid yet. This is Clay Mathews reply:
Clay Matthews III ✔@ClayMatthews52
You and me both TG! 
Better get some interest with that too.
Clay is headed to Nick Perryland. Vet minimum deal at best, maybe after a team suffers an injury.
Like, seriously, how is O'Brien still employed? They gave up a 2nd round pick to the Rams. In an incredibly deep WR draft. Not to mention that Cooks had 2 concussions in 25 days last year. So, yes, that is a serious concern. Makes Matt Millen's days as a GM with the Lions look genius in comparison.
The Texans have essentially traded DeAndre Hopkins for Brandin Cooks.

Bill O'Brien is that dude in your fantasy league who makes the most trades and transactions, but never finishes above fifth place.
Bill Barnwell's column on O'Brien is stellar.
If 2020 was such a pressing concern for the Texans, they probably shouldn't have traded away their superstar wide receiver for a second-round pick before using a second-round pick to acquire a less impressive wideout.
...
In a vacuum, if I told you the Texans replaced DeAndre Hopkins with Cooks, that wouldn't be a disaster. Where this really goes off the rails, though, is with another O'Brien mistake. The one non-Cooper wideout to get a significant guarantee over two years in this draft class is Randall Cobb, who received a three-year, $27 million deal with $18 million guaranteed from Houston. Based on the rest of the market, Cobb's value was realistically somewhere around one year and $5 million.
...
To spite one of their best players for wanting a contract extension too soon, they have made three disastrous decisions.

Its the 4th disastrous decision that I am most interested in hearing about

Holey Shit. I didn't even know that Cobb pulled down a stupid contract like that. O'Brien is a god damn stooge and what's worst is it's petty shit.
Cobb in this wide receiver year gets $18 million guaranteed? It reeks of pettiness. And if Houston doesn't win it all this year, some other schmuck is going to have to try to pick up the pieces.
After he is fired from Houston, I hope O'Brien goes to Minnesota. He'd fit right in!
I’ll preface this by saying I live in PA and like Penn State. When O’Brien came in to clean up the Paterno shit show, he was transparent and open. He did not whine about the penalties given to PSU - simply went about rebuilding a program that was decimated by the penalties coming from Paterno’s turning a blind eye to everything that was going on and also to the fact that Paterno was ‘god’ at State College and could do no wrong. O’Brien did an amazing job there before he left. He got respect from players, administrators, and other college coaches. I don’t know what’s happened in Houston, but he does not appear to be the same person who was at PSU. Obviously he is not a competent GM. He led players well and coached well at PSU. He seems to be able to do that in Houston also, but his GM power is going to ruin/override his coaching abilities.

I've seen several scouts say they think a starting caliber wideout could be had in the fourth or fifth round this year.
Any contract with Cobb that isn't heavy on incentives due to his injury history is a mistake.
Maybe O'Brien should have stuck to the college game or just being a coach in the NFL. Being a coach and GM in the NFL rarely works out.
i would abs love for that watt in g&g picture coming to truth...man that would be awesome.

Perhaps. However I could see him as a replacement for Fackrell at the right price. His jersey number might be in question tho.
