it's just so bald-faced - the cardinals today literally posted yet another affirmation by kliff kingsbury that josh rosen is their guy...

im fine with gms and coaches using coachspeak or not telling the whole truth or omitting information or being vague/ambiguous but im not fine with actual lies - it's why the giants OBJ trade was so crazy because the giants literally like a month earlier had come out and said he's not going to be traded

i get it that misinformation etc. is useful but straight up lying is also a dick move and likely means you're less likely to be believed the next time - also puts a shit ton of bad will into the heads of the people you misinformed... means the media's against you, doesnt believe you/second guesses everything you say, you dont get the benefit of the doubt etc.

really rubs me the wrong way and i think it does the nfl media too

The thing is the moment you say you are shopping a player, the value of that player drops dramatically (hi AB). Basically you need to deny that you are shopping players as it keeps the feeling that they are trying to buy him from you rather than you selling to them.

Very true. It may seem sleazy to us, as fans, to hear teams deny trade-talk about certain players when they're almost assuredly listening to offers, but they need to get the best value for their players. Definitely not as easy to do that if everyone knows that you're shopping a player around and that the player isn't a part of your future plans.

The Chiefs have acquired DE Emmanuel Ogbah from the Browns in exchange for S Eric Murray.

Interesting, earlier today rotoworld had a quick one on Ogbah not showing for voluntary workouts because he's expecting a trade. That happened quick.

They say the same about Duke Johnson.

Former 49er Dexter McCoil worked out for the Ravens today per NFL source


Listed as a S, but have to think at 6'4 and 220, we were taking a look at him as a LBer.

That's not a terrible signing at all. He's a solid #3 WR. I'll take that right now.

Is it anything to throw a party about? No. At worst he's depth.

Agreed. I don't expect much, but I imagine this didn't cost much. He was cut and doesn't count against the comps. Furthermore, it's a WR that has actually played in an NFL game, so hey, that's an improvement over most on the roster currently lol
