Imagine passing on Cam Newton and Jameis Winston for $1M so you could give up a fourth-round pick for Nick Foles AND guarantee him $21M only to keep starting Mitchell Trubisky. GM of the Year, Ryan Pace. #Bears

Not only is the AAF for the players, it’s also an avenue for writers. If I were an aspiring beat writer, I’d do all I can to pick a team and cover it to best of ability just like an NFL writer does; inactives, practice reports, notable news, etc. The league is a breeding ground.

DeAndre Hopkins wanted a raise. Bill O’Brien said no. And decided to trade an underpaid legit No. 1 WR for two of the worst contracts in football — David Johnson and Brandin Cooks — who are severely overpaid and major injury risks. #Texans

Alex Collins looked so good last night. Especially as a pass-catcher. Didn't convert his goal-line carry, but he was blasting through arm tackles and not quitting on his touches. Every time he'd make a good play though, the #Ravens would send in Buck Allen. Frustrating.

Reason 1A why you get an offensive HC who calls his own plays: Other coach-needy teams are always coming to mine those staffs for their own coach. Much better to have a McVay, Reid, Nagy, Pederson, etc. who calls his own plays. Then don't have to install a new system every year.
