Just spoke with someone in the know regarding

...
1. CAR is down to extend him for cap purposes.
(more Gtd. cash for DW)
2. NO isn't nearly as motivated as CAR & CLE. Might be some gamesmanship to drive CAR price up.
3. CLE is most attractive to DW b/c of roster.
Just got a call from a guy,
#DeshaunWatson
is getting the "full-court press" from the Falcons. The pitch was VERY persuasive and detailed much more than football. "Family" type vibe. Situation has gotten a bit more complex.

to the

:
1) According to a source, there was convo (for QB2) prior to signing Baker.
2) C1N looks healthy & in-shape to me
3) Off-season is more ideal
4) Respects
#SteveWilks
5) Money could move the needle
A part of me says YES!! The other, don't do it bro.
I do hope all of you understand we're witnessing, on National TV mind you, the true 2023 Coach of the Year and his STAR quarterback‼️ Pro Football in H-town is a laughingstock NO MORE‼️

Arizona Cardinals are releasing LB Jordan Hicks, per source. Hicks played at a high level last season, registering 118 tackles and four sacks, but the Cardinals have to let their young first-round ILBs play, and now are letting Hicks hit the market early.
How is DeMeco not Coach Of the Year after that statement win on the road in a pseudo playoff game with a rookie QB and a shorthanded roster?? Consider how this franchise was viewed less than a year ago⁉️

Asked Dillon Brooks about Alperen Sengun’s defense tonight:
“That motivation. He’s showing it every single game. Playing through injury. Finding ways to make plays on the defensive end. Putting his body on the line.”

Truly thankful for another opportunity God has blessed me with to cover the game I love in a city I love! Not too bad for a former

DeMeco says his faith played a big role
In believing he could help turn the Texans franchise into a winner.
#DanLanning
should be ashamed; selling this fake hype to his guys. His squad literally has the advantage in every area of this game. I’m embarrassed for him! I lose respect for people who punch down. We’ll see what his energy is like when Utah & USC lineup.

I’m gonna say this again (hopefully for the last time); I DON’T CARE about a “B2B winning seasons” narrative! POSTSEASON…PERIOD!
@Panthers
did that 4 of 5 seasons (2013-17), including a
#SuperBowl
appearance. As Carolinians, we know good football when we see it.

It won't show up in the stat sheet per se, but Jalen Pitre has been really good tonight forcing the run at the point of attack at the line of scrimmage.

Former Giants RB Saquon Barkley reached agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could be worth up to $46.75M and includes $26M fully guaranteed at signing, per sources.
Barkley now beats the franchise tag number and has a maximum
Billionaire technology investor Robert F. Smith told Morehouse College's Class of 2019 that he's giving them the ultimate graduate gift: A grant that will wipe out their student loans. It will reportedly cost him an estimated $40 million
Haven't heard it said, so I feel obligated to speak on it; if
#BakerMayfield
were a "different" QB he'd likely be called selfish & unprofessional for his conduct & comments regarding
#HueJackson
. Therefore, I find Baker's conduct & comments here SELFISH & UNPROFESSIONAL!!

This was the right selection if the

were gonna select here. I trust Ime Udoka to get the best out of him defensively. Also, don't trip about his stature. He's 19 y/o and growing, plus, have we not seen other smaller guards be contributors in winning situations⁉️
Sincere thanks & appreciation to

We’re gonna learn A LOT tonight about our Rookie HC, OC, & QB. First time they’re in this situation. Obviously, injuries are impacting HOU more than IND. However, STAR talent QBs have to overcome holes.

@zkeefer
The mental, physical, and emotional fatigue of surgery & rehab isn't discussed enough. Not all players who love the game can push through. We all have our limits.

I don't believe the

AB's behavior in Oakland (allowing $30M Gtd. to be forfeited this way) is a slap in the face to the game & more so the countless millions of folks in our lineage that were (and are) denied access to wealth in America. It's beyond irresponsible...on some level this is tragic!
Steve Wilks was also without their GM (Steve Keim) for five weeks due to a team sanctioned suspension and a six-figure fine. Ownership should've recognized and reasonably understood that absence as significant for any first-time HC right?
Brian Flores' suit also mentions the "double standard" experienced by former Panthers DC Steve Wilks, who was fired after one losing season in ARZ w/ a rookie QB (Josh Rosen). Meanwhile, Kliff Kingsbury went 5-10-1 his first yr in ARZ w/ rookie QB (Kyler Murray) and kept his job.
First, I'm saddened b/c I really like & respect JB! Next, this wasn't the move...YET. Record has improved the past 3 yrs, & clearly his player development program works (Devonte, Jalen, Martin Twins, Miles, LaMelo, etc.). All this w/o a modern big & Hayward sidelined...AGAIN?👎🏿
OFFICIAL: President of Basketball Operations & General Manager Mitch Kupchak has announced that the team has relieved Head Coach James Borrego of his coaching duties.

right now? The
#Rockets
have just made a LeBron James led starting 5 literally quit with an entire quarter remaining, and they haven't played since Monday night. Crazy what coaching & a couple vets can do!
Bruce Arians left quite a legacy:
NFC Title Appearance (2015)
Super Bowl Title (2020)
Built a diverse (perhaps the most diverse) coaching staff in the NFL, and has helped to empower Todd Bowles (well-deserved) to become a HC once again.
Nothing but respect.
Dream scenario for
@Panthers
last night. They got their guy! Now I'm seeing & hearing this sentiment from the fans about trading back into Day 2. My question is HOW? Fitty said he's not using 2023 capital. What current CAR player will garner the necessary return?
#KeepPounding
Early short-list of names to watch: HC for the Panthers in 2023 (no particular order…list will evolve)

Not a single QB taken in Round 2...OUCH! I hate that for these young men. Brothas lost A LOT of cash this weekend. That said, I told some of y'all this QB class wasn't it.
Love y'all, but I'm not trying to hear it

fans. You had a shot at the mountain top twice and tricked-it-off! THERE ARE ONLY 2 ELITE SQUADS.

Proof that Dana was backed into a corner. Had to choose the lesser of two evils. OUCH!
Also tells me, he was desperate, because he’s not sure JV, Garcia, and (to a greater degree) McCullers can be counted on to stand pat. Tough gig! 🤬
Of note: The Astros first checked in with the Tigers and pivoted to Yusei Kikuchi when the asking price was apparently too high.
Ummmm… Tigers?! This could’ve been you!!
Y'all gotta stop with these injuries excuse tweets. What team has benefited more over the last 5yrs from opponents' injuries than Golden State? 🤔 Exactly!
Yep...it's official...I can't stand the Warriors!!! Bunch of extremely skilled, uber talented, fake tough guys (excluding David West). Not one of them would act like this on a team void of other elite players.
Add AFC South Champs‼️ Remarkable effort by DeMeco, Caserio, & Stroud/players. In spite of adversity at every turn…work ethic, competent leadership, & faith prevailed. Utmost respect for everyone within the
