This isn't football related, but it's another passion of mine (not really)- men's hair. Get that hair tapered again Allen! He was looking fresh with the tapered look.
Oh, ok. I was looking at the dead cap from him being cut. The dead cap from a trade really isn’t bad. Certainly not prohibitive like I first thought.Trading Elam right now would result in dead cap hits of 1.78 million this year (1.33 savings) and 3.57 million in 2024 (basically breaking even).

That said, I wouldn't do it. Probably not for a third and definitely not for a fourth, much less the Cowboys fourth which will be very late.
burrow is a glorified game manager. i’m not afraid to go thereI completely disagree. A top tier slot receiver makes life easier for a QB. They come up big on those third downs. Beasley has been sorely missed in this offense. Also, Higgins isn't just a good #2. He'd be a #1 on a lot of teams. That's a luxury most QBs don't have, and I find it hard to believe that having perhaps the best #2 WR in the league doesn't help a QB when he's going through his progressions.
One of the reasons the Browns have had so much success against that offense is because they have corners that can actually matchup against the Cincy's WRs. I've read it countless times from Bengals and Browns fans. Most teams are going to struggle slowing down that WR core.
It's nothing against Burrow. He'd still be a damn good QB regardless of his weapons. As I said, his pocket presence, ball placement, and ability to read defense range from good-to-great traits of his. He'd succeed regardless. But to say having the best WR core in the NFL doesn't help him is strange to me.
I will say, his coaching leaves a lot to be desired, and I also agree with Fezzy that McDaniel is a far better game planner. He's a lot like Shannahan in his ability to get the ball into his playmakers hands. I read a comment on here that Tua is the perfect point guard for that squad, and I think that's a great analogy, though I do think Tua is quite a bit better than he gets credit for on this forum.
I doubt the Saints would be willing to trade penning. They traded a lot to get him and he’s barely played because of the injury. Sunk cost fallacy, but moving in from him would be a very tough pill for them to swallowPenning reminds me of Incognito in terms of how aggressive he is on the field. Incognito had his best years with Kromer.
I’d love for Beane to work an Elam-for-Penning trade. Buffalo would add but I think that’s the type of Sheppard-for-Hughes trade which would improve the team.
I read last week where the Saints might be getting impatient with him… not sure how reputable it was.I doubt the Saints would be willing to trade penning.

Not to mention that, these type of trades rarely seem to happen in the NFL.I doubt the Saints would be willing to trade penning. They traded a lot to get him and he’s barely played because of the injury. Sunk cost fallacy, but moving in from him would be a very tough pill for them to swallow
Hows the weather? Any update on game time forecast?

KingsleyAnyone know offhand who is active in place of Ford? Ford played the first two games. The rest of the inactives are what they've been both games as far as I recall.
Oh yeah. Thanks. I saw an article during the week giving him props for his practice work getting Brown ready to face Crosby last Sunday.Kingsley
