Frank Schwab - 13 hrs ago

Unlike the rest of us, DeAndre Hopkins wasn’t blindsided by the shocking trade that sent him to the Arizona Cardinals.

Meanwhile back at the thread...

There's a rumor about an old name committed to a team he no longer wishes to play for... but he has a new team in mind...

You're too late.  The deal was already announced that gronk is back, I'm almost 100% sure.

Best since 2017... which was the best since? I can't think of a better one.

2006 was pretty damn good IIRC.   Hitner, Roman Harper, Bethea, Pollard & Michael Huff. 

The fire sale in Jacksonville continues...they all ready have 12 picks.. and tagged DE Yannick Ngakoue for 17.788M & thru twitter told his owner Khan to get to moving him..Khan tweet'd to find him a deal he would accept..   Yannick ain't *Just Another Guy

The safety class may be deep, but it isn't very top heavy either.

2020 does lack the Hooker/Adams-level star-power at the top, but is damn near as deep thru Day 2 when 2017 really piled in the talent.

DraftSCout has already moved Chinn to OLB...

If anything the Colts are leveraging that to drive up Hooker's value

Even Bob Sanders had two relatively healthy years...

Is it though? I've watched most of these guys and I don't come away with feeling the security of starting any of them in a single high shell.

Agreed.  When he's healthy though, he's an animal.

Surprised to see his name... has to be an availability thing.

Agreed.  When he's healthy though, he's an animal.  Kid came screaming out the gate his rookie season and injuries that year really held him back.

To my surprise, he's only missed 5 games the past 2 seasons.  For some reason I felt like it was going to be more.    Either way, my interest is there. Especially given Woods' desire for playing defenses that require a true center fielder.
