To Cleveland. Giants might not complete a pass all season with Eli and no OBJ.

NYG gets Cleveland’s 1st and 3rd round picks this year, plus Jabrill Peppers.

They were pretty unstoppable that night in Starkville. What was that, 2013?

Yep. They caught everything that was thrown that night. Our DBs played pretty well too. Those dudes didn’t drop anything. The best WR duo performance I’ve ever seen at Scott Field.

That was the one year Les Miles actually had a great offense. But that was also the one year they had a defense that couldn’t stop anybody

OBJ is a cancer. Team killing clownshow

Not a fantasy team killing clownshow, though. And his ceiling is way, way higher catching balls from Mayfield than from Eli. I expect he’ll be the consensus WR 1 in every draft, with the A. Brown going to catch passes from Derek Carr.

This and the Bell signing got all the attention yesterday, but something that came out of nowhere for me was the Dee Ford trade to the Niners.

San Fran may still take Bosa or Allen with the #2 pick, but it does shake things up a bit by lowering their priority on landing a top notch edge rusher in the draft. With this move, I could see them trading down in the draft to fill other needs while still getting a solid edge guy in a draft that’s completely loaded with them

He melts down on the sideline more than TO and Ocho Cinco ever did combined. He has the worst attitude I think I’ve ever seen from a pro player. He’s more concerned with making 1-handed grabs in warm-ups than winning the actual game. He’s football’s Adrien Broner. The one and only reason I can see why Cleveland thinks this can work is because they have Landry and his old position coach from LSU. So while it’s a new team it’s not a new situation. That said, if I’m an NFL GM I don’t think I’d ever take on a contract like that from a WR. It’s just not worth it.

While we’re on the subject of NFL deals... I just read an article from ESPN titled “Bell proves this wasn’t about the money” while going on to explain that the value in the Jets’ deal was that it had 2x the guaranteed money as compared to Pitt’s offer. So... doesn’t that tell us that this was indeed all about the money?

Maybe I’m slowly turning into one of those get off my lawn guys, but all this bitching and moaning about tens of millions of $$$ sure makes it difficult to pull for these pro athletes at times. I also love how a lot of the media turns these stories into “they just want to feed their family” deals when the flip side of NFL guaranteed money is that it can completely cripple a franchise if/when a star player does get hurt. Injuries suck, especially when they’re career ending, but it’s ridiculous to me that owners are GMs are made out to be the villain in some of these stories
