Wonder why the Browns let Mullens go ? He's a pretty good back up. Seems the Raiders have signed him. Maybe that means that Baker is going nowhere for the moment at least until they get some clarity on the Watson situation. As for Skip, I never understood his loyalty towards Baker and his poison for Wentz and Jimmy G. But then he also said Johnny Manziel was going to be an elite QB and have a great career..................Skip seemed to to turn on Jerry last season and even more so when they went out early in the playoffs. The rumours about Sean Payton going to the Cowboys got him excited though and he was not happy when McCarthy returned.
Who knows what the plan for the Browns are. Maybe they ship him on draft day for low picks depending on how draft goes, maybe he stays in case Watson is suspended, or maybe he is cut. If he is still stuck in Cleveland at start of the season I wouldn’t want to play for them honestly. It’d be funny him going to Steelers if their QB situation doesn’t work out. I wouldn’t even want to be traded I think if I was him, rather be cut and choose where I go instead of being traded for a low pick to maybe a place that you are not interested in. Thinking of the situation, Tampa might be his best bet. Now Brady might not take him under his wing because he always wants to be the guy, but maybe with his older age he does. Even if not, being in the qb room with him while they break down film and any teaching points he says would be invaluable.
For many recent seasons the Cowboys roster has appeared to be stacked with talent and poorly coached. I don't know whether Jerry Jones does much more than say yes or no on each call but for the most part it was working. They continue to have successes e.g. last year's 1st round pick Micah Parsons who many teams passed on. There was a window where they had Dak Prescott (another big draft success) playing on a low salary in a weak division and they failed to capitalise mainly due to bad coaching I think. You could certainly argue that Jones with his owner's hat on should have fired Garrett a long time before he did. More recently though there have been some more questionable personnel decisions - notably the big contract offered to Zeke Elliott, and maybe the big contract offered to Prescott also (although the Cowboys are hardly alone in taking the safe option of overpaying their QB rather than take their chances elsewhere)
I think that Dak changes out of good calls too often so IMO its not poor coaching (at least on O). He needs to stick with the play more often because he doesn't recognize coverages as well as he thinks he does. I watched one game where he audibled out of every play in the second half.
Money would be my guess. Or, the anticipate trading Mayfield, and getting a different back-up, and some lower picks for him?
Great, insightul post. Agree completely.
We need Brady to write a book or series that tells all and we can find out about all these rumors once and for all. Who knows what Miami would have had to given up to TB and NO for Payton and Brady. Heck with Snyder looking on his way out with even more drama he could buy Washington.Was Tom Brady plotting an escape route to Miami?
It never really made sense when Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady retired and then abruptly unretired from the NFL earlier this year. Could it have all been part of an elaborate plan?www.theguardian.com

That's a good question. One would think with his wife being the owner, but staying away from day to day things, he could hold on to that in a sense. But sales of teams in private leagues have been faster than your head can spin at times. Look at how quickly, and relatively easily, Steve Ballmer was able to buy the LA Clippers once the league was done with Donald Sterling (though Ballmer's really deep pockets didn't hurt).
Even more so if it started because either he and/or Giselle were spotted in Miami on vacation. I could see him more of an owner instead of coach but before he left NE I always thought it’d be there. Heck he and Peyton should team up and try together.
Maybe they were but Gage said he made his decision when Brady texted him and recruited him to TB.
Too be fair, it’s hard to say what is intentional or not as their players are vastly greater then USFL, especially receivers. Something they absolutely need to look at though is the short pass PI that all teams run.
Well, the rule does say "tackle" the receiver. So I presume that involves using one's arms to wrap their arms around a receiver and bringing him to the ground, or just hammering him with a body block without ever looking at the ball. It seems to me this can't be any more difficult to call than PI is now.
Wonder why he waited so darned long to make this claim, or what precipitated it?
Yes tackling the receiver but that doesn’t help when their arm is grabbed or jersey pulled back. The NFL receiver has a higher guarantee of catching the ball then the USFL one meaning any interference is could stop them from catching the ball. Maybe they can do if the receiver has their hand in the ball it is a spot fall and if they don’t it’s the 15 yard penalty. That way it negates the cheese teams try pulling vs the defender getting more reward and value when they’re beat.
