NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[zebthecat]

I fucked up again and drafted the wrong A Brown (whoever chose Amen-Ra chose wisely). Don't even have the excuse there being 2 on the same team like I did when drafting Duke Johson a couple of years ago.

[Hermit Road]

Yep. 8pm start. Fly 🦅 Fly.

[ironsofcanada]

Draft is live. Good luck boys.

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Yes, draft tonight but is it 8pm?"

[Hermit Road]

We've got the draft tonight at 8pm haven't we?

"Niners keeping Jimmy G for this year. Restructured his contract to 7 mill, as high as a possible 16 mill with playing bonuses."

[Takashi Miike]

"I'm not sure what who or what cursed my washington redskins, but the bad news/chaos has been a constant since that clown snyder took over. we thought we'd had our fill when sean taylor was murdered at just twenty four, but no. we draft a great future running back in brian robinson, two weeks before the season starts and he gets carjacked by a crew of scumbags after having a meal, getting shot multiple times"

[IsaacHock]

"I'm a sucker for pre-season hype & expectations (Mismi and WHU) so after 3 months plus of listening to how signing the cheetah was a waste of time because Tua can't throw a deep ball, I was delighted that the the first play from scrimmage was a 50+ yard completion between the two (45 yards at least in the air). Straight over to Twitter to feast on some humble pie. ""They are 3rd stringers"" ""Tua underthrew him"" ""You'll always get that on the first play"" (Seriously) Anything short of raising a Lombardi come February and Tua still won't be getting any respect. Looks like it could be a fun season to watch though."

Get your money on the mighty Raiders!

[Norflundon]

Southbank Massive blow He says we are looking good said Dak has been phenomenal in preseason which ultimately the season comes down to him His department is looking good said they did really well in the draft and the freak parsons just gets better and better think he could be the difference this season Still think we are short in the WR area and have plenty of cap space can see them maybe getting somebody in unless they think they can utilise pollard which seems to of been done in preseason a lot as don't see gallop playing in the first couple of months and we have a pretty tough schedule this year

[Nutsin]

I expect Jimmy G to be released here soon and he'll probably end up in Seattle. Niners defense looks legit again this year but the IOL looks to be a big problem. Hope I'm wrong. We have the pieces to contend again this year just have to protect Trey. If Trey goes down we are toast.

"Lol, Norf! How's your boy feeling about the season? Losing Smith is a big blow. Looks like he's pretty much out for the season. Eight time pro/bowler, a damn good tackle and a proper leader. You never want to see that before the season starts. But there is some depth on that chart/roster."

[Norflundon]

"Absolute disaster Tyron smith tearing his hamstring he'll be out for months O line is the weakest part of our team went big there in the draft but no idea if any of them are good enough to start""¶""¶if only I could get some inside info from somewhere""¶.???"

[southbankbornnbred]

"As a long-suffering Jets fan, I'm reading less than nothing into a couple of pre-season wins. Big year for Zach Wilson, this one. He has to start stepping up now. I'm not expecting world domination from him - it's only his second season - but we definitely need some improvement to the way he protects the ball and goes through his checkdowns. Saleh and Douglas have done their bit, at least in the draft, by bringing in some top-tier talent. It'll take a season or so to develop them, but suddenly the roster looks like it has several potential stars. I do wish Saleh would call defensively plays. But he insists on not doing that. I'll take eight wins this season! Expect some of the usual suspects to be strong: Chiefs, Rams, Ravens."

"Think teams have to cut their roster to 53 this week , be a few disappointed players hoping to make the big time . Jets have won a couple of pre season games ,not sure if I should look into that really but makes a change !"

[crystal falace]

Reminder draft is set for September 4th at 20:00 GMT!

[ooooh Morley Morley]

Add me in again please

"I may be wrong, but I think Baker Mayfield might be a bit of a steal for the Panthers once he settles in. That move will go one of two ways. Either he will think 'fuck this shit', take the money and go into gradual decline like other ex-#1 picks who don't quite meet expectations, or he will be relieved to get out of the graveyard that is Cleveland, get fired up (which is more in character with him) and go out and prove people wrong. Mayfield has top-tier talent. His attitude, and coach, will be what determines what happens next. I quite like his street-fighting 'fuck you' attitude. It's very Gotham. I'm sure his career would have been a bit different if he'd come to NYC instead of Darnold (a West Coast/California fit if ever there was one)."

[southbankbornnbred]

"The 49ers handing Deebo that big contract (which suits them both: I'm pleased he stayed with your lot) means you probably HAVE to offload Jimmy G at some point soon. Otherwise he's going to be a big hit against your cap during the season, even though it's highly unlikely he'll throw a football for San Francisco again. There will be a small market for him, but the 49ers will probably have to lower their expectations a bit. Giants or Falcons, maybe? There aren't too many other landing spots, unless Watson's ban gets extended in Cleveland."

[Lee Trundle]

Good to see Deebo Samuel sign a new contract. We still have Jimmy G if anyone wants him?

[southbankbornnbred]

"I see Deshaun Watson is still throwing vast sums at trying to pay his way out of potential trouble - and largely succeeding. He has now settled 23 out of the 24 civil claims/cases against him. But now the NFL is unhappy with his six-game ban and want it extended. Apparently, the league itself wanted him banned for a full season, and have appealed. As things stand, he now faces no criminal charges, has settled all but one of the mountain of claims against him and will be ready to play for his new side (Browns) by October. It seems like a lot to have invested in one very troubled bloke, but he's certainly a talented QB."

zebthecat 12:59 Wed Jul 13 Pretty much the opposite of me last year Thanks again Crystal

[zebthecat]

Thanks crystal. I fully expect to do the usual and do well in the league and then get crushed in the playoffs.

[Hermit Road]

Sunday the 4th sounds good. In the diary it goes. Cheers.

"southbankbornnbred 5:41 Fri Jun 17 Sign up, it's good. Unless you take the players I want in the draft in which case, the joke's on you because my draft is always shit"
