Ladies and gentlemen may i present your 2025 NY Jets starting QB Dianna Russini? Why not, they couldn't be any worse than Zach Wilson or Trevor Siemian.

Denver is the new Cleveland in terms of a QB Carousel, never have been able to replace Manning
And now with 80 Million plus in DEAD CAP, and no first round pick, they're nowhere closer to solving that issue, and they as a team just seem like they're f***ed

But, yeah, this year is a swallow-your-medicine year, even if they end up drafting JJ McCarthy or whatever. Or at least, it should be. Given Payton’s Saints track record, they may very well just try to keep kicking the can down the road and just put themselves in a cap straitjacket (fun fact about the Saints’ alleged cap magic: the Saints are not a very good team.)

The Patriots have placed the transition tag on safety Kyle Dugger.
Effectively, Dugger is now a restricted free agent rather than an unrestricted free agent. The transition tag is a one-year tender offer that guarantees the Patriots the right of first refusal to match any offer.

Seriously go back and look at how many ex-Browns were in our front office and on the team. It's not surprising that after Elway we were basically feasting on bad teams and the Martyball Chargers. But as was said, we need to take out lumps now. Russ isnt just the first, he's the worst. I don't know if anyone survives the WR room either. For as much as I'd love to get JJ, I'm not sure I don't want to trade near everything and start a rebuild next year. We've only got like 5 or 6 picks so it's not a great year for us in the draft to start with.

We've only got like 5 or 6 picks so it's not a great year for us in the draft to start with. Here’s the thing about the draft: every year is a crapshoot. Every year there are going to be rookies that become high quality starters in the NFL. Sometimes the scouts correctly ID them and they are drafted early. Sometimes they are drafted late like Tom Brady. Sometimes they aren’t drafted at all like John Randle, one of several UDFAs to make the HoF. Heck, even some UDFAs don’t even get recognized by the teams that originally sign them. As a Colts fan, I can think of 3 Colts in the last couple decades who were UDFAs who were cut by other teams, came to the Colts, and made the Pro Bowl with the team. One is a current player, Kenny Moore II (cut by the Patriots). Another is Jack Doyle (cut by the Titans). The 3rd was Jeff Saturday, who has a legitimate shot at the HoF (as a player) after getting cut by the Ravens at the start of his career.

I forgot to mention that the Colts tagged MPJ. Not a surprise, especially since he previously mentioned that he would actually see it as a sign of respect. They used the non-exclusive tag, which allows him to talk to other teams to get a better feel of his market value, which is something he wanted to be able to do. Chris Ballard stressed that the team was working to fulfill Pittman’s needs and it sounds like they’re doing just that.

Aaaand it's gotten really bad, really quick. The show is called "The Dynasty." You know what they don't really discuss during the first four episodes? The actual dynasty. The first three episodes are about the 2001 season and what led to Super Bowl XXXVI and the Patriots' first championship in franchise history. They then totally gloss over the Patriots' Super Bowl championships in 2003 and 2004. There's maybe 90 seconds devoted to the entirety of the 2003 and 2004 seasons - when the Patriots established themselves as the premiere dominant franchise in the NFL. And then the fourth episode is all about Spygate, the 18-1 season, and Super Bowl XLII. It's just a baffling decision on the filmmakers' part. There were so many stories from those two seasons - trading Drew Bledsoe, Lawyer Milloy's release, "They hate their coach," bookending the season with 31-0 games against Bledsoe, Milloy, and the Buffalo Bills, the rivalry with the Colts, Brady vs. Manning, the 21-game win streak, the rivalry with the Steelers - and it's all ignored so they can go straight for the tabloid gossip. It would be like if there was a documentary made about the 2020s Chiefs, which devoted about two minutes to Super Bowls LVII and LVIII, but then spent an entire episode focused on the relationship between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. I'm not envisioning the show getting any better, because the remaining six episodes are about: Tom Brady's knee injury in 2008, Aaron Hernandez, Deflategate, Super Bowl LI (wow, an actual game!), Belichick vs. Brady, and the end of the dynasty. And now for the latest version of "I watch it so you don't have to." What are we even doing here? What is the purpose of all of this? Actually, I know what the purpose of this documentary is. It's a hagiography for Robert Kraft and one last twist of the knife into the back of Bill Belichick. Let's say the Patriots went something like 8-9 in 2023 and Bill Belichick were still the head coach heading into the upcoming season. I cannot imagine what his reaction would be to this series were he still patrolling the Patriots' sideline. Everything in this series so far has been done to undermine Belichick's accomplishments and achievements. The head coach is such a supporting character in the series that you forget he's even there for extended periods - only for him to pop back up when something's gone wrong. I'll get to the overall flaws of the last two episodes - there are many - but what's most stunning is the way the documentary tries to lay Aaron Hernandez's troubles at the feet of Bill Belichick. They recount a story about how Hernandez went to Belichick during the 2013 Scouting Combine and asked to be traded because he was fearing for his and his family's safety. The documentary posits that Belichick was heartless in his decision, that Hernandez was too good for the on-field product, and essentially suggests that were he traded, Odin Lloyd might still be alive to this day. Belichick is asked about it by the filmmaker and gives his typical Belichick non-answer. And they show clips of Belichick's 2013 training camp press conference - arguably his finest moment as Patriots coach, when he was thoughtful and introspective about the tragedy of Aaron Hernandez - but reduce it to, of course, the one non-answer he gave during the presser, so anyone who is watching it for the first time thinks he was typically brusque and blasé about a murder involving one of his players. As for the most notable flaws of the most recent episodes - which focus on the 2008 through 2013 Patriots, when they struggled to return to the Super Bowl after the Spygate fiasco and 18-1 season - there is entirely too much focus on Matt Cassel. He was a nice player who helped make the 2008 season more enjoyable when Patriots fans thought it ended the second Tom Brady's ACL tore in week one. But he gets probably the third-most screen time of the entire series so far aside from Kraft and Brady. They also weirdly show a Laurence Maroney fumble in Indianapolis in 2009 and talk about how the Patriots gave the game away - the same game in which the Patriots infamously went for it on 4th and 2 and didn't get it. HUH?? We're also now 13 years into the Dynasty and there have been zero mentions of Brady-Manning, the rivalry that literally defined an era of NFL football. This show is just so unbelievably bad. I can't get over how they've taken the greatest dynasty in NFL history and reduced it to this tabloid, click-bait, back-page docudrama. I think I can officially give my most positive review thus far to episode 6 of "The Dynasty," in that it was fine. The show's many warts are still there, but at least one of the two episodes released Thursday night was passable. Granted, the sixth installment literally opens with a talking head from Rupert Murdoch, where he says, "The story of the Patriots is success through great leadership, and that's Robert Kraft." It's nice to open with that just so you haven't forgotten that Robert Kraft is the sole reason the Patriots won six Super Bowls. But anyway, this episode hones in on Deflategate and Super Bowl XLIX, and what I actually liked was that they didn't treat Deflategate like the very integrity of the sport was being called into question, they rightly took the piss out of that "scandal" and how ridiculous it all was. Pretty much every person interviewed, from Patriots players and staff to reporters to Al Michaels openly mocked the entire process and the phony "controversy" that surrounded it and how embarrassing it all was for the NFL and how it was a clear diversion to get people to look away from Roger Goodell's shoddy mismanagement of legitimate issues like Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, and head trauma. But the good times couldn't last forever, because episode seven went back to the tried and true well of sh***ing all over Bill Belichick's legacy. Did you know Bill Belichick was gruff and a hard ass to Tom Brady? Apparently that's a cardinal sin to some former players, because it's handled like Belichick would walk into the locker room every day and spit directly in Brady's face. Also, the show devotes a startling amount of airtime to Nora Princiotti of all people, who doesn't exactly do herself or her fellow female sports journalists any favor by waxing poetic about how dreamy Jimmy Garoppolo was and how Tom Brady's 2016 season reminded her of Taylor Swift songs. It's nice that these two episodes did what the first six didn't - extensively cover the Super Bowl wins that made the Patriots a two-decade dynasty that will never be matched in professional sports - but it's clear as day that this whole program was done for two reasons: discount Bill Belichick and what he meant to the organization and be used as a 10-hour sizzle reel for Robert Kraft's candidacy to Canton. It's gross, but I've made peace with it over the past eight episodes and I assume the last two - which focus on Belichick benching Malcolm Butler in Super Bowl LII and the end of the dynasty - will be no different.

Russell Wilson met with the Giants and Steelers. Interesting. Probably means the Daniel Jones era in East Rutherford is over even if Wilson doesn't end up there.

Oh most definitely the Jones era is over unless he takes some sort of massive leap this year. But the Gmen would be smart signing Russ, because he's willing to play on the vets min and have him and Jones duke it out and see who wins the starting role. If they both suck well there's always next year and a batch of brand new shiny QBs to draft

We are officially back to where we were before Manning: absolutely no hope whatsoever.
