That is nuts.
When I first saw headlines on this I thought I was reading the Onion. What's going to be crazy is that Jerruh will probably pay him that amount of money. That's a lot of money for a QB who in my opinion is at best middle of the road.
Gute put in a bid on BAL's backup kicker that MIN ultimately won. Not a vote of confidence for Crosby.
Crosby ain't gettin' no younger. glad Gute's always looking to keep the wheels greased.

Just above Cousins, in my book.

Sure. But the end game in that transaction would be releasing Crosby, not keeping another K on the 53 while Crosby fades into the sunset for a couple years. They also would have been giving up a draft pick = Vivek would almost have to be your starter.
Can they still do conditional draft picks? Like a 7th round pick if he makes the team? If so it wouldn't matter if Crosby beat him out. Hell, even if it was a guaranteed 7th round pick they could still keep Crosby if he out kicked him.
Just wondering if they keep Ficken and put Crosby on IR for possible return later? It wouldn't be a bad play. Keep Crosby away from other teams, while securing a K who can come in later and knows his way around Lambeau if needed.
Easy come, easy go...
Raiders just released punter Johnny Townsend, who was drafted in the 5th round in 2018 - one spot after the Packers selected JK Scott.

2020 Draft...
Bears pundits suggest they are keeping an eye on Crosby in case he's cut. He would be an upgrade for the Bears regardless (irregardless??) of who the Bears have on the roster.
God I hope Jerruh pays him $35m per year. Then pays Cooper $20m per year. Then gives Zeke $20m per year. Then spread the other $100m of the cap over the other 50 players.
Good article on "Buzzy" Bolton:
His career started out with a bang, but good grief, he cannot stay healthy anymore.
Per the report, he's had a calf strain since March! that's he is still dealing with and now on the same leg has the dreaded high ankle sprain. Fantasy owners beware. Looks like this thing is going to linger awhile..
From last night, #Colts GM Chris Ballard detailed the trials and tribulations of QB Andrew Luck’s high-ankle injury, offering no assurance that he’ll be ready for Week 1. Full story: https://t.co/HafXe40E7r

Who is going to hold Henry?
Is Trophies available?
Only if he can use a rope around his neck.
Dude.
Ooops, I forgot the sarcasm icon again.
On purpose or intentionally? 
Are you calling Trophies soap?
I have some info that I cannot share the specifics of (doctor thing) in regards to Mason Crosby. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I hope that he has a great year. Maybe kicking a football will be a needed distraction from real life. That is all I will say.

Go sit in the corner. While you're at it pull my finger.
I couldn't figure it out either.

The team just Picked up a couple of players. But don’t know a thing about them. https://profootballtalk.nbcspo...backer-and-a-corner/
But one is a linebacker. So that may be helpful.
It won't be helpful at all.
It brings the team back up to 90 and that’s helpful...I guess. Gutie sure likes to churn the roster.

A new Jaymo gif!
We also picked up another cast off in Grigsby at LB. Thats a position that the team needs healthy bodies.
The Patriots have informed veteran DT Mike Pennel that they are releasing him, per a source.

I suspect our final group of LB's includes at least one guy that's not on the roster today.
Packethawk, I agree. And I predict more surprises on the roster as well. Gutie has been active and will remain so.
Pittsburgh had 2 LBs playing last night that Collinsworth and Michaels said weren't expected to make the team.
One was Tuzar Skipper (4 unassisted tackles, TFL, FF, and a sack). Although listed at OLB, if he could make the switch, he looks much better than anyone he have at ILB.
Interestingly, the rumor is they will release either Rudolph or Dobbs at QB. Either/both of them look light years ahead of Kizer, and (Dobbs, at least) probably better than Boyle.
