i know there's not much going on in the football world right now but could we try and keep this thread about football - there is a dedicated NBA thread in the off-topic section (if you didn't know already)
thanks and there is also a dump thread for "random topics not related to football" on the off the topic forum

Speaking of TE's, Clive Walford is still available. I'm not certain about his blocking, but he can catch and has been effective in the pass game with far less able QB's. I believe we had some interest in him a year or so ago. He could probably be had pretty cheap too. He's probably a TE 2+ talent... certainly better than a freshly drafted TE. He saved me a couple fantasy games when he was still with the Raiders. I'd love to see what he could do here.
Edit... His stats are less than impressive since leaving Oakland after 2016, tho... Either something went wrong, injury?, or he was not utilized at all or correctly. The info in the link seems pretty accurate from what I remember. Might be a nice flier...

the fact that I THOUGHT he's been out of the league for years is enough for me to say no..

Hey guys! Football has been a little slow lately so I joined a sim league. It’s basically a league filled with teams run by players with rosters filled by other actual people.
Basically what you do is you create a player at whatever position you want and set up their skills how you want with points you earn through tasks. It could use even more people though it does move pretty quick.
Here’s a link to the main website. If anyone is interested I can also post a link to the main Discord. It only requires as much time as you want to put into it, so you can be very on/off.

He was the 2nd TE taken after Maxx Williams, hes been a shell of himself since his ATV injury in his sophomore season. At least he has an excuse, Maxx just sucked.

I hadn't read about that until now. I remember his name coming up a few years ago as a trade or FA we had shown interest in. There are other TE's still available, but most are 30 or over, with injury concerns. Jordan Reed... I never was a big fan. He can't stay on the field. Who knows... maybe a healthy rookie or two doing on the job training are more valuable than some of these available aging guys. Walford looked interesting to me because of the past interest and because he's never had a huge paycheck. He'd come in at a league min and at least with some experience.

Right now we have some intriguing talent battling for the 3rd TE spot. I'd like to see the young guys get a shot and only bring in a veteran maybe at the end of preseason if need be.

Judon called Brees and the Trump family Klan members. Isn’t Harbaugh a Conservative and a Trump supporter, or am I thinking of someone else? If he is, this isn’t a good look for Judon. Hell, EDC could be a Trump supporter for all we know. Once again, Judon needs to stay off social media. He’s getting on my nerves now.

Harbaugh plays both sides of the fence when hes forced to, I think he just avoids the issue which is smart. As for Judon I dont care what he says about other teams players, I get annoyed when hes playing that vague shit about our team.
would be an even worse look for harbs et al to not support judon...
EDC i doubt is a trump supporter given he and his family were protesting with BLM earlier this week

Judon called Trump and Brees Klan members. I don't know how you could support that. Plus, being a Trump supporter doesn't make you racist or discount the BLM movement. This is a total misconception.

I seriously doubt that too many college educated white people support Trump. That is borne out by his poll numbers. His #1 support comes from uneducated or non-college white males.

Right now being a Trump supporter with the carnage he's causing through divisive statements and tweets comes pretty close to it my friend. No other way to parse it.

How prevalent is COVID down in Florida? Getting a little worried about Lamar and company.
And thanks for introducing me to Simone.
you'd assume that being pro football players there would be people around them making sure they are safe and do things safely
