Some Giants fans wanted to trade a 2nd round pick for him in 2022.

He’s been catching passes from Bridgewater, Locke, Stidham and Wilson. Wilson was the first credible one of them all.

This might be a total steal at 12MM and a couple lottery tickets.

Could be but that was his current market price I assume.

Some Chiefs fans had amputations after frigid playoff game, hospital confirms

The hospital's statement said of the 12 amputees, some had attended the Chiefs vs. Dolphins game.

sports.yahoo.com

These fans don't know how to dress. It was only -4. When I was a kid playing all our grade school's games on the pond in WI, temperatures got down to -20 before the wind chill. We were picked up and dropped off in an unheated van with no windows and although we got minor frostbite every game, we didn't have any fingers or toes amputated. After games we got ice cream.

Although I'm 60+, I benched one rep of 270 on a machine today. I don't like the fact that people call me sir, but my son says I'm a tough old bastard like Elaine's dad on Seinfeld. @NickyFotiu

That is impressive. I do not do max lift but I only work out with 120 (many reps) on the bench.

Remember the great QB draft of 2021 and all the sky high hopes?

#1. Trevor Lawrence has been good and has a playoff win.
#2. Zach Wilson Jets fans are not sold on him
#3. Trey Lance traded to Dallas
#11 Justin Fields will probably be traded
#15 Mac Jones was traded to Jax

Davis Mills who went in the third round is arguably better than Wilson, Lance, Fields and Jones

NFL is really becoming a year to year league. Before this season ESPN guys and others had Fields as a MVP candidate. Last year Baker was a minimum signing. Now he is $33 mill a year.

This is literally the nicest thing anyone has ever written about Zach Wilson. He is literally one of the biggest busts of all time and one of the worst QBs that have ever started a prolonged time in the NFL. Jets fans are not sold on him because he's an all time bust.

Russell Wilson's hurried deal with Steelers may say a lot about his intentions, and Pittsburgh's

Wilson's announced deal with Pittsburgh went down before free agency even began. Why were both sides so quick to link up?

I was trying to be polite but there have been a lot worse than Zach.
Ryan Leaf-Akilli Smith-Jamarcus Russell pop right to the front of my mind.

Yeah but did they end up starting as many games as him?

LOL no because they were that bad.

Agreed. Your Russell, Leaf, and Akili are my top 3. Tim Couch, Rick Mirer, Andre Ware, David Klingler, and Todd Marinovich whose dad started forcing him into a dietary and athletic regime and workouts when he was 5 years old which ultimately resulted in alcohol and drug addiction, failing 3 drug tests his first 3 years in the league, and after he retired multiple arrests for meth.

I lived in the Bay Area during the Jamarcus Russell years and he was so awful. I’d actually be relieved when Raiders games would get blacked out.

The Barkley guarantee is not that much higher than what Joe Schoen offered last season but with 1 more year of mileage on him I'm a bit surprised that the Eagles went so high. I would not mind if the Giants signed Swift now at a lower rate. Everything is relative. RB's are not getting paid much more than backup QB's these days. I think they are underpaid.
