And it doesn't sound like Tebow is going to be making millions, unless he has some crazy performance bonuses. I will say I never get the whole "make millions to play a game" argument. Sure if you boil it down, football is a game, but it's also a stone cold lock majority of NFL players work...

I think Titans and Colts fight it out for 1st, and maybe both fight for playoff spots (AFC going to be a battle even with a 3rd wild card), Jax 3rd (but not great), and Houston 4th in total shit show.

What's a run away success? They're not making the playoffs, likely not even going to seriously flirt with .500. They're not picking 1st in the draft next year, though.

Depends if it's a "guarantee" he makes the roster or not. Plenty of teams are signing random vets/etc as camp bodies. No idea how much of his contract is guaranteed but that low a salary might mean there's no expectation for him to definitely make the roster unless he actually performs.

A little over $700k for base salary. Sounds like real cheap hope signing throwing shit at the wall to see who can stick at TE for them.

I feel like any concerns will go away the first time he trucks a DB trying to tackle him, but whatever.

I honestly don't know who to favor in any division except Toronto in the North. The other 3 just seem like at least 2 teams could come out of any of them. Nobody would shock me in the East if any of them got hot.

Boston it is. Going to make the game against them tomorrow pretty weird. Guessing both teams rest whoever they can.

If Kuznetsov really is on the chopping block for us, or even if we're just listening to trade offers, I wonder if our GM calls up Buffalo about Eichel this offseason. A whole heck of a lot of other pieces/salary would have to be a part of it but interesting thought.

Reinhart is RFA, I know he's going to get PAID, but are they really not going to bring him back? Maybe expose him to Seattle?

Smith is their only real impact UFA, though. Obviously some RFA guys are going to get raises but key guys like Fox is still on his ELC another year, same with Kakko. Laf and Miller both still have 2 more years on ELC's. It's possible some of it was to keep bonuses to Laf and Kakko down...

I definitely think there is a line, though, where it's laughable some young guys aren't getting more minutes over some clear bottom 6 at best vets. Obviously team situation matters a lot. The Rangers for instance have time to bring guys along a little slower. Maybe not next year if they...

Wahlstrom was exactly who I was going to bring up. I've seen a lot of their fans not happy with the trade they made with the Devils because it ended up pushing Wahlstrom out of the lineup right when he was heating up. Trotz got a lot of shit for it here in Washington, too, when he would...

Isles fans simultaneously praise the consistency Trotz has brought them the last 3 years while constantly bitching about how he handles young players.

Supposedly Torts told Columbus players he wouldn't be back?

Man, Oshie got hurt end of the 2nd and didn't return for rest of the game. Huge late goal by Eller from Mantha, and Sheary in OT. Penguins clinch the division, we clinch 2nd and home ice in Round 1. Still don't know who either of us will play, though.

There was a rumor they would listen to trade offers in the offseason...which as these narratives go has morphed into "everyone hates him and he's definitely gone in the offseason". As of now he's on the covid list anyways, so who knows.

No Ovechkin, no Backstrom, no Kuznetsov, no Carlson tonight. No Samsonov, either. Hope guys get healthy soon.

We got rid of the guys who throw more picks than TD's last year (Haskins/Smith)

I mentioned it, but if we're talking Caps these days all anyone seems to want to talk about is Wilson. The fact that Ovechkin has been out this long isn't even being noted all that much, although I suppose they could just be resting him for the playoffs.

Obviously you're exaggerating a bit, but I was surprised to see that Jackson was something like 6th or 7th in average depth of target. For reference, Jackson completed 64.4% of his passes last year with an average intended air yards per attempt of 8.6. Alex Smith had a 66.7% completion % but...

Colts might take a look. But Ravens seems to be the one that makes the most sense, I agree. Julio, Bateman, and Hollywood. Plus Andrews at TE.

Have to wonder if Atlanta is trying to accommodate Julio by sending him to a contender. Going to Jacksonville would feel like a total waste to him, I'm sure.

I'm just a little curious if they were this committed to trading him, and if they actually had suitors where this was a real thing, if the idea to take Chase over Pitts was ever considered at #4. I think Ridley is good enough to be a #1 on his own, so it can definitely still work with him and...

Makes sense he got less than Gostisbehere.

A lot of noise about the Falcons actually trading Julio before camp.

Oshie with the hat trick for his dad. Need 2 more regulation wins to get 1st in the division.

Wow. This is crazy. Especially when you think how well overall their rebuild had been going. Everyone is looking at that team and just thinking how good they are going to be next year.

I liked that we took a shot on him where we got him, but he's probably a year further out than McMichael is.

That would cure any cap concerns, but leave a massive hole at center. Eller's a very good 3C, and can fill in in the top 6 in small stretches, but he wouldn't be good enough to hold it down full time. McMichael isn't nearly ready to just move up next year. We'd be fucked.

In actual serious news, this isn't good. If it's obvious we're trying to move him, zero chance we get anything close to what his normal value would be.

Leadership

Man, Galaxy Quest was so good, but I don't think they can pull off a series at this point. Don't want the original to be tainted, either. Casting so flawless for that movie.

Feel how you want to feel about it. He got penalized appropriately for what happened. It's become a literal circus.

Yeah, I'm fine with them fining him, he got something like 14 minutes in penalties for all that, deserved. People talking about attempted murder are smoking the good shit, though. Whole scrum started because a couple caps thought the one Ranger kicked out with his skates at our goalie after...

Not sure what Panarin was doing trying to go all MMA with a choke submission on a guy that much bigger than him. Almost had it locked in I guess. One of the less hot takes about it

That's another reason to love Yoshi P, he pretty much acknowledges people will have lulls in playing and expects it. Such is the life of the MMO content cycle these days.

Offense is better assuming good health with Aiyuk and Deebo to go along with Kittle, though. Plus Shanahan will get that running game working no matter how much he's pissing off fantasy managers running a committee.

Not happy to see Ovechkin take basically one shift then leave again. Worried about him for playoffs. Rags will be a handful next year, sucks for them they were stuck in this division they'd be a playoff team in any other one. Thanks Philly for beating the Pens so bad.

The fact that people will be able to get him mid to late 2nd round in fantasy is going to be amazing.
