I would enjoy it immensely from a fan perspective but if Campbell/Holmes/Wood/Hamp don't think it's in the team's best interest (which I could definitely see an argument for), then I totally agree with declining. For instance, I'm sure a storyline would be Jamo's suspension/first 23 games of his career and the gambling suspensions generally. It's probably fair to say we have more than enough Carlos Monarrez's as it is.

The Jets seem like the obvious answer of teams that can be forced, and I don't give a flying you-know-what that the prima donna Rodgers doesn't want to. I'm sure it's a much easier process for everyone involved though when you find a willing team. I'm not sure what a team is allowed to say is "off limits" from the cameras (like the Cardinals coach getting arrested last year) and what NFL Films is allowed to say too bad we want to film that anyway. But I'm sure that negotiation/exchange is much easier and creates a much better progress when everyone is okay with everyone else being there in the first place.

So is Kansas City but no one seems as gung ho about relocating them now that there are two (alleged) money makers in LA. I agree there is a snowball’s chance in hell they move a team back to STL anytime soon. My only point is that they deserve a team more than friggin’ Daytona.

It’s a huge stretch to say that STL couldn’t support the Rams. They supported them far better than LA supports either the Rams or the Chargers. St. Louis just got shafted by being on the wrong end of an ownership’s greed.

A return to St. Louis would make more sense... Relocation to London is probably most realistic, even though it would be nearly universally hated. Daytona is so touristy that it would be almost trying to replicate the Vegas move. But Daytona is no Vegas.

The Commies are in a weird spot. New ownership is coming in with zero loyalty to any of the current regime. Rivera (and probably Mayhew) are on the hot seat after three straight years of being the textbook definition of NFL purgatory (7-9, 7-10, and 8-8-1). Yet they seem determined towards going into the season with 5th round pick Slingin' Sammy Howell at QB and are routinely in the 20s of power rankings, stuck in a division with clearly better Eagles and Cowboys teams and the probably better Giants. You would think they are not the types who would part with Young in a contract year. Obviously they are better this year with Young than with future draft picks, and you would think that anything they can do to squeak out wins and get another year they would do. Unless Rivera and Mayhew can convince Josh Harris the team needs to be blown up (probably true), that Snyder wouldn't let them (probably true), and that they are the right guys to do it (eh, maybe). I wouldn't give more than a 3rd or 4th round pick and some depth though. I'm not even sure we would be able to pay him long-term with the contracts that will soon be owed to ASB and Sewell, followed by Hutch, Jamo, and Kerby.

Jacksonville is not a great city to host an NFL team. Probably 32/32. Not that Daytona would be any better.

One thing I give the NHL credit for is that they’re not afraid to take risks sometimes. The NFL has a business plan and it gets them buckets and buckets of money. But they’ll never be a guinea pig.

Eh, maybe if they knew the day of. If they learned about it 3-6 months later, those videos were probably long gone. There is also the issue that the NFL doesn't have any real power to make a private corporation like a hotel hand over video.... though I'm sure they have a way of per$ua$ion that goes a long way. In any event, the failure of the NFLPA to really do anything is just weird.

These are the kinds of things you’d think the NFLPA would be all over, but they’ve been radio silent. It’s bizarre.

I’d be shocked if Jamo is the only one who violated this rule, let alone didn’t know it.

Peak offseason content.

I'm okay with it as long as you never sell to evil Chicago gambling sharks. 😉

I will say I wish they were a bit more personalized... or at least normal.... I constantly get Macy's underwear banner ads and dental implant ads on vignette. I think that's a Google thing not a MWG thing though lol

Even with him being at the weakest position group on the roster, I'll be surprised if he makes it past final cuts.

This made me lol

I’m becoming more convinced the Browns are going to give Hopkins a ridiculous deal out of desperation hope that Watson returns to his Houston form. Which I don’t think he will.

Someone put this dude into concussion protocol.

They have the cash the Lions do while also having the lack of strategy necessary to spend it wisely.

Raiders out here playing 4D chess going to be starting *checks notes* Brian Hoyer as QB1.

I think it is very dependent on what he wants. I’m sure Holmes has already called his agent and inquired about an asking price (as I’m sure the vast majority of teams would). If he’s okay signing a one-year deal worth $14-18MM to go to a contender - maybe a two-year deal that is heavily incentive laced in the second year - and he views Detroit as a contender, I think he makes a lot of sense. We have the cap space, something of a need (though I don’t think it’s dire), and we should have a good football team this fall. If his agent says he wants a three or four year deal though at $15MM per, no thanks. I’m not going to get into a bidding war for an aging WR with diva tendencies. Holmes’ history says he probably feels the same. Let someone else overpay and/or overcommit.

The post I saw on this was a meme… the one that started like five years ago when a black dude with dreds was confused for Larry Fitzgerald and it went viral. Now you’ll see the pic all the time with the caption “(insert athlete) was spotted today at (insert airport)!”

I think the whole quote may have been directed at the Cardinals honestly. I expect Hopkins to go to a top 10-15 team that should make the playoffs, but beyond that he will go to whomever will pay him the most.
