lol at watching steelers fans try and convince themselves that Bell lost by holding out a year because of the nominal $/yr
they forget that 28m guaranteed > 10m guaranteed and that's the only important number given how unlikely it is for players to actually reach the final years of their contracts for whatever reasons
 
golden tate to the giants

I like Tate, but unless the Giants plan on using 2 slot WRs (Shepard also) the move seems pretty redundant. I can kinda see it work with Shurmur's offense, but they need to get somebody who can stretch the field or play on the outside (unless Coleman has matured and learned how to run routes, which Gettleman giving him a 1st round tender seems to indicate they think he has). Engram can stretch the field a bit from the inside I guess? Saquon running go routes? Whatever.... I'm probably just still bitter over trading away the best offensive playmaker the Giants have ever had for a mid-1st, late 3rd, and Jabril Peppers (who I have started to at least warm up to a bit).

multiple slot receivers isnt really that big a problem to have - often teams move receivers all over the formation and especially slot guys and tight ends so its not a huge problem to have - also golden tate has experience as a number 2 receiver which would naturally involve a lot of outside looks as well - he's not a pure slot in the sense that that's the only thing he can do

that being said i still dont understand what the giants plan is... at all

also dont know if anyone saw what Jesse James said about not being a steeler anymore at his welcome presser for detroit but it's pretty damning:

Yeah people say that AB & Bell are gone so the drama is gone, except Big Ben is still there and will be there forever once he gets his mega extension. Big Ben is apart of the drama, The Triple B's were the drama now Big Ben doesn't have a scapegoat unless he starts calling out Tomlin. Which Kevin Colbert, their GM since 2000 would have no problem with since the drama goes beyond the field with Colbert as well.

I disagree. Ben isn't just a part of the drama but he is the producer, director, lead actor of the drama. Now, two bit actors are gone from the drama, but the drama will continue

From KC Star:

"A source familiar with the situation said Hill’s fiancee has been in contact with Overland Park police. The source said that the incident was against the couple’s 3-year-old son, resulting in a broken arm."

The black eye on John Dorsey's tenure with the Browns is signing a idiot who can't stay out of trouble and should be in jail if the child abuse allegations are true.

Ryan Tannehill is now a Tennessee Titan and he's signed a new one year deal to lower his cap hit for the season. Titans are sending a 2020 4th Round Pick & 2019 7th Round Pick in exchange for Tannehill and a 2019 6th round pick.

That leaves David Fales & Jake Rudock as the only QBs under contract with the Dolphins.

Looks like Tyreek Hill will end up being a Skins after he is cut by the Chiefs, imo

Also, Miami paid $5mil of Tanehill's $7mil bonus to get the deal done.

They must really be looking to restart from scratch and was desperate to get rid of him. I wonder if they make a move up to get Dwayne Haskins or if they will go in full tank mode for the 2020 NFL Draft.
