Brett Hundley to the seahawks for a 2019 sixth rounder

Are the hawks shedding picks cos they know they're going to get a higher pick from Dallas??

They overpaid

That leaves Kizer. Christ they better wrap Rodgers in cotton wool and hope the backup tackles never have to play.

Teddy traded to the Saints for a 3rd rounder. He was on the Jets team bus leaving for Philadelphia when it had to be stopped to let him off

3rd rounder for 1 year. That's eh, a bit mad? Especially if Teddy is looking to be a starter next offseason.

Brees' last year, maybe?

Can only see it making sense if everyone involved assumes he is the starter there next year. Will be very interesting to see what kind of deal they can get him to extend on if he gets no playing time mind you.

Jeez will the saints have a pick in the 2019 draft.
Didn't they give up there first and their fifth to Green Bay to go up and get Davenport and now the third for a one year rental on Teddy B..

Did someone let Mike Ditka back into the Superdome???

OldMrBrennan83

The Browns have cut Kendricks for the insider trading thing.

Teddy B was traded by the Jets last night to the Saints.

The Jets were on the team bus at the time, which stopped, let Teddy off and drove away. The most Jets thing ever.

Greg Senat is rookie offensive tackle taken in the 6th round by Baltimore

The Ravens announced he would be a long term injury but it wasn’t decided yet if he would go on IR. Another player is hurt also and our 4th round WR went to IR earlier this week, noting strange. All teams deal with this

Senat posted a photo of his foot in a walking boot on twitter and John Harbaugh going mad over it

“He’ll be disciplined for that. So I’ll make sure that we take care of that” “Obviously he doesn’t know any better”

What did he do that was so bad? If he was out in a shopping mall anyone could take a photo of him in his walking boot. And I’m certain vets do this sort of thing

I don’t get what the issue is

Similar issue withe the Jets this off-season. Terrelle Pryor had told media that he'd had surgery on his ankle, but sure he'd been seen walking aorund in a boot numerous times so it had been fairly easy to put 1 and 1 together! Bowles went mad over it, probably the most animated I've seen him get about anything!

NFL teams seem to be looking to go down the NHL ‘upper body/lower body’ injury reporting route, giving out as little info as possible.

But as you say, if he’s down the shops, anyone can see him in a walking boot or whatever.

But what difference does it make to the team if people know what the injury is? If you're not playing you're not playing?

I think the thinking is that by revealing what the exact injury is, you’re open to getting targeted there by the opposition. Now on an obvious injury where you’re wearing a boot or whatever that won’t matter but on other, less obvious injuries it might make a difference.

I hadn’t heard about any of this till I read the posts earlier but maybe teams are just putting a blanket ban on players talking about injuries so that they can control what does/doesn’t get reported.

Interesting tidbit from the trade...this trade now frees up the Saints current backup QB Taysom Hill to play more special teams...as a coverage guy. He had 4 special teams' tackles last season.


Its not often you see a guy with a single digit number out there trying to block punts:

Last preseason game tonight means near 1,000 players will be released in the next couple of days, many of who will never see another snap again.

Must be an emotional time for many.

For those guys on the bubble or who all but know they are going to be cut, it has to be rough.

Yeah, very rough.

It is quite evil liking it but the episode of Hard Knocks each year when they make the cuts is always the most interesting.

This is how it should be done.

Just Mack now isn't it?

Paully D

Seems ridiclous to say, but Donald is worth every penny of that.

Billy86

Yup. With Watt's injuries taken into account it's probably fair to say he's the single most valuable non QB in the league.

OldMrBrennan83

Mack is on his way to Chicago apparently.

2 first rounders. Mack better live up to his potential!

Contact must be enormous too.

Dan Bailey released by the Cowboys. One of the best in the league over recent seasons.
