I also have the OVER for total wins (+7.5) a bet I have not lost since I've started betting it.

I'm counting on the defense, special teams and running game to carry the day. Everyone is focused on the QB so much. He could be last years Justin Fields and I think this team wins 8 games.

Matt Schneidman mentioned at 18:21 on John Kuhn's radio show today that Rashan Gary doesn't have a traditional agent and is using a lawyer instead. I'm not sophisticated enough in the nuances to know all the differences, but I can't imagine it's a positive for settling on an agreement. Still hoping they'll have an extension signed before the season starts.

I'd think it would depend on the lawyer's specialty/focus.

Long time friend, an attorney, has built a very successful practice working exclusively in mediation, with a significant amount the work in employment mediations.

He's helped me on my employments contracts over the years.

My employment contracts always consisted of this negotiation…”You made quota last year, so do it again next year plus 15% and you can keep your job. Let me know how I can help.”

Best part about employment contracts or documents is the job description.  It can be one or several pages, but it always ends with "all other duties assigned." So, really, it could just be one sentence which would be "whatever the hell we ask of you."

A few folks have the Lions upsetting the Chiefs tomorrow night. K-Mart and Louis Riddick on & Eisen picked the Lions to win especially if Kelce is out.

Which wouldn't really mean a whole lot of anything.  CHI beat SF in WK01 last year.  As they say..."extended preseason".

Give up a just-coming-into-his-own second-year speedy, athletic receiver for a third-year RB who has a ton of miles on him (college and pro), can't play until week 5, and who has fumbled seven times in two years? If Gute made that trade, he'd be run out of town.

He could have been used much like Jones is now with Dillon the odd man out. It would be interesting to see a Jones-Taylor combo as Taylor is also a pretty good receiver. It would mean no dropoff in dynamic running skills, and the D would have to possibly cover Jones and Taylor out of the same backfield. If Indy had accepted a couple of mid-round picks, it would have made things really interesting. But, no way do you give up Watson for Taylor.

I don't think I'd make that deal either, but Watson has a long way to go before he's in Taylor's class.  Love the potential, and they're different positions, but c'mon. Taylor has been pretty unreal for the 2 1/2 seasons he's played.

Taylor is clearly elite.  My point was, locker room wise.  Whose snaps get reduced?  What do you do with Dillon?  I guess his contract is coming up and he walks but that RB room seemed pretty tight.  Taylor isn't the pounder Dillon is.

Not trading Calvin Johnson Jr. For any running back. Mid round draft picks....sure but I'm certain Gutey was laughing as he hung up the phone. Colts aren't interested in trading JT yet. They're asking for the world to see if anyone will bite. But they might trade him....in a few weeks.  Let's see what happens.
