He's also goning be on Pat McAfee for his Draft show Thursday night. That should be absolutely hilarious as they normally are and adding someone with Bills demeanor? Could be amazing.

"League sources do not expect the Steelers to pick up the $25 million fifth-year option on quarterback Justin Fields, whom the team acquired last month for a conditional 2025 6th-round pick. Fields and Russell Wilson both now will be entering the last year of their contracts."

I mean you repeat post stuff I post quite frequently a day after I do. It is what it is

 

[MongerKhan]

"Bengals three-time Pro-Bowl DE Trey Hendrickson has requested to be traded from Cincinnati, per league source. Hendrickson is due to make $15 million this season, and is looking for more long-term security than Cincinnati has been willing to offer."

This would be AWFUL for Cincy if they don't get a very good return on him in draft capital or an equal player.

Aaaannnnndddddd add Tee Higgins to it as well. Currently on the FT.

Apparently the Bengals have held a total of ZERO discussions with Tee in over a year about a new contract.

Getting spicy for Cincinnati about 24 hrs before the draft

Cowboys exercised the fifth-year option on Micah Parsons’ contract.

Not a shock at all.

They also exercised 5th year option on Chase, which has to tick him off as well

Ravens signed WR Rashod Bateman to a contract extension that ties him to Baltimore through the 2026 season

I don’t get it, Jerry Jones is pushing himself to major cost. He is just sitting spending no money while Dak’s contract is killing his cap. Meanwhile CeeDee is bitching

I think there's a more likely world every day that he let's Dak walk if they don't make a deep playoff run this year.

But hey, he's all in for the draft now

CIN - Bengals lease runs out in 2026, there has been almost no discussion by County and City that owns the stadium on a new lease for the Bengals. In fact Bengals are even more frustrated since the County didn't pony up all the money they wanted for needed upgrades at the 24 year old stadium they play in. Bengals have til June of 2025 to exercise a 2 year extension if they want, OR they can move the team in 2026 after lease runs out.

Stupid rumors I have been hearing for draft...
LAC - trade Justin Herbert to Minnesota for a boatload of picks - and then draft JJ McCarthy at #5 - except everyone forgets the $100+ million cap hit Chargers take for that move....
Atlanta - going QB and Pennix Jr at #9 - you know cause Cousins has basically a 2 year deal...
