NFL 2020 Off-season Thread: Kool-Aid Man Gets His Ring

[Krandor]

Yeah Zeke got fucking paid

Boys have an out in 2023 but that's after Zeke has already been paid 50 mil

[Moss]

after how badly the gurley, david johnson, lev bell, and zeke contracts have worked out so far, nobody is going to pay a rb a high paying long term deal ever again

Ah but NFL owners are unfamiliar with "logic"

It won't be the last time. The next great RB will convince his team he's different and special and immune to regression

Shit is he even 25 yet? I think he’ll earn that contract unless he gets arthritis in the knee

zeke has slowly but surely regressed every single year of his career. and with how people talk about his terrible work ethic and heavy drinking problem, i don't see him playing better than what he did on his vastly cheaper rookie contract.

that's typically the argument against paying rbs. their best days are always in the first 3-4 years and it's such a plug and play position. give anybody the ball 300 times and they'll get you 1000 yards

I saw the Dolphins signed Jordan Howard to a 2 year deal for 10 million...seemed like a good deal. Then I saw that the dude was just 25 years old? I feel like it's been a decade since he really showed out for Chicago. I hope he pans out, seems like a low risk get with some upside.

Jordan Howard is 25!?

[Rhyis.]

i remember when i was playing him in fantasy and happy about it, so it makes sense, but damn if you guys aren't right about him feeling 35 lol

Seattle signing Bruce Irvin

[tyven]

Last year was only his 4th in the league and he’s never had a season with more than 300 touches. JORDAN HOWARD GONNA BALL

Detroit signing Desmond Trufant 2yrs 21mil (14 gtd)

[Cail]

Green Bay re-signing Mercedes Lewis 1yr 2.25mil

[Outlaw]

Buffalo Mayor worked this into a press conference about how the city is dealing with the virus.

Bill Barnwell gave it a crappy grade. 5m a year for a one-cut RB that doesn't catch passes. Those guys are a dime a dozen throughout the league

Lmao this is so a Green Bay move.

i was kinda hoping the boys got trufant. i dunno if i can deal with chidobe awuzie, anthony brown, and jordan lewis as my starting cbs going into the draft

they better sign snacks harrison or something to load up on the fat boys 'cause this team let like 30 guys walk and signed 1 dude

Other than maybe Melvin Gordon and Devonta Freeman, he's probably best available (that's not tendered) and cheap. Gordon will probably demand twice as much as Miami paid for Howard. As I said, low risk with upside. Miami is probably gonna spend one of their 6 picks on the first 3 rounds on a RB.

I'm not a scout (obv) but the argument is that he is low upside. His stats haven't been anything special the last two years.

I'd rather have him than spending more money on the other guys you mentioned, but barnwell's argument was that you're better off spending a draft pick on a RB and using the money elsewhere. I guess they're paying for the certainty? But I'm not sure they need to be.

eagles are currently in talks to trade for darius slay, working out a contract extension

[Mertron]

here is my analysis of the trade before it happens

anyone who comes to philly to play CB is just going to turn to shit the instant they get here
