    This rush defense is so pathetic.

    To me the $4M buyout doesn't really affect anything in him coming back or not. It is a sunk cost regardless of whether he returns or doesn't. Anything they sign him for is independent of that buyout.

    I think this is probably correct. Look at the really reasonable options around the league that are being declined. If these guys aren't worth a few million, what's Braun worth right now? I think DS probably tells Braun he can do 2M or so with some incentives, but that's it. That's an enormous humbling haircut on Braun's salary, and I doubt he will be willing to come back for that. So I think it's probably over. DS will make a logical decision, not an emotional one.

    Lol...it is a bit troubling that the Sogard option decision is the one taking the longest. I am picturing David in his office trying to complete the paperwork to decline it and Counsell tackling him and wrestling away the pen.

    I would guess based on the obvious leaguewide spending constraints this offseason that the discussed $5-$6M plus buyout swan song for Braun is absolutely not happening.

    Honestly, if you're going to get Hand I would just double down on the pen and keep Hader and try to win on the strength of an elite pen. Hader is worth more than Hand so I am not comparing their values one for one but I think the fact that Brad Hand is available for free probably doesn't bode well for a strong reliever trade market.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/10/indians-brad-hand-closer-waivers.html Indians have waived Hand in an attempt to shed payroll. Hand could be had simply by claiming him and the 1 year/10M club option left on his contract. I know it's not cheap, but it's not over the top expensive and it's not a long-term commitment. Hand is as dominant as ever, posting a 2.05 ERA, 1.37 FIP and 12 K/9 this season. Would give us arguably the most dominant back end of a bullpen in baseball with Hader/Hand/Williams without committing to long-term money or giving up any prospect capital.

    The Rays are about as perfectly run of a franchise as you can have. Nothing against the Brewers, they are good, the Rays are just the gold standard. It's an absolute shame that the state of Florida doesn't support the Rays like the state of Wisconsin supports the Brewers, because they could do more with just a little support. Unfortunately they lost to money, there is nothing more they could have done to win a WS this year.

    I'm assuming a loss in San Francisco until we can prove otherwise. Skeleton crew or not, they've been jelling again these last two weeks and have held the Rams and Patriots to 22 combined points the last two games. They still have a mostly healthy offensive line that can seemingly put anyone for 100 yards behind them if they commit to a ground attack, which plays into our biggest weakness. If we had looked like we belonged with them in either game last year I'd feel more confident that we're ready to get that monkey off our back. We need to show that we can at least compete on their field.

    Herbert vs. Broncos or Tannehill vs. Bengals?

    I'm guessing Turner gets something like 10 days. It isn't going to be something extraordinary that ends up with a big fight with the MLBPA. It was probably the biggest moment of Justin Turner's life and he decided in that moment that the consequences were worth it to him to have that moment. I get it. I'm not saying it was right and that it wasn't selfish, but I get it.

    Unless you're in an 8 man league, that's silly that someone dropped Fournette but many leagues have guys like that. I scooped up Diggs after he got dropped a month into the 2019 season.
  14. adambr2
    I also lost Drake but I have Edmonds. From a fantasy perspective, I wish Drake would be out longer. I think Edmonds would probably be a top 10 if not top 5 back in PPR if he had starter volume.
  15. adambr2
    Any of Fuller, Cooks, Cobb or Stills would be a solid add without breaking the bank. It's clear that, as good as our offense has been, the emerging #2 receiver on our roster still doesn't exist. I think this year is it for the MVS experiment. We've seen enough. ESB still has a chance, but he needs to start showing something and stay healthy.

    I almost wonder if the Packers' offer may have come before Tonyan broke out? I agree that TE is not particularly a position of need, but perhaps the Packers saw Ertz as a clear upgrade over what they had on hand at the position. If they are truly trying to emulate the 49ers offense, Ertz is probably a closer approximation to Kittle's talent level than Tonyan is, despite Tonyan's obvious attempts to imitate Kittle. Did Tonyan really break out though or was it just one huge week? He's been pretty quiet since Week 4. Ertz has been a premium talent at his position for years; if the Packers were truly interested I have to imagine they thought he has some juice left. I know he hasn't impressed this season but it's an obvious buy low opportunity. Wentz and the Eagles' offensive line and other weapons surely haven't done Ertz any favors. He'd certainly have had better opportunity here.

    Stop bumping this thread and worrying us all !!

    Shouldn't the Cowboys trade for Ryan Fitzpatrick like yesterday?

    Packers tried to acquire Zach Ertz. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2915313-zach-ertz-trade-rumors-packers-ravens-made-offers-before-eagles-tes-injury.amp.html?%24deeplink_path=article%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Farticles%2F2915313-zach-ertz-trade-rumors-packers-ravens-made-offers-before-eagles-tes-injury&%24fallback_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsyndication.bleacherreport.com%2Famp%2F2915313-zach-ertz-trade-rumors-packers-ravens-made-offers-before-eagles-tes-injury.amp.html&_branch_match_id=524013307613437419

    Is there a reason behind this silly 21 day requirement, or is it just overcompensation for a poorly planned season in which the B10 canceled for good reason and then just changed course when no one else followed despite the pandemic improving in no way during that stretch of time?
  21. adambr2
    My only disappointment from this game was that I am just not impressed by Dillon at all. I had really hoped that he would have a breakout game of sorts with Jones out but he's obviously miles behind even Williams. I understand he's a rookie but RB has one of the shorter learning curves in the game and you've got plenty of rookie RBs being productive every year -- this year Gibson, Robinson, Swift just to name a few. If they drafted Dillon with the intention of him taking over as lead back in 2021 I would guess they are having second thoughts at this point. If Jones' money scares them away I can easily see us pivoting to a cheaper Williams' contract. One is going to be back.

    I could have gone either way on that 4th and goal call, but the one that really irks me is the possession before 4th and 26. We had the ball at the Eagles' 40 up by 3. It was 4th and an inch. If we pick it up, the game is over. So what does Sherman do? He punts. The ball sails into the endzone and we gain 20 yards of field possession. He literally gave up a chance to win the game by picking up an inch for 20 yards of field position. 4th and 26 was awful but it should have never come to that. And to top it all off...Ed Donatell dialed up pressure on 4th and 26. Sherman overrode him and called the soft zone. And then he scapegoats and fires Donatell for the play, who was a very good DC. The more I talk about Mike Sherman the less I like him.

    I don't agree. He was a WR that was good right away and had a very steady trajectory, became a really good player, and then tore his ACL, which was a much more devastating injury even that recently than it is now. Then there was the incident where someone got shot and died in his lap, which sent him to therapy and had a devastating effect mentally, and he continued getting hurt too. I think that anyone who clearly remembers 2003 and 2004 (fair if someone doesn't, it WAS 16 years ago) would hesitate to say Walker wasn't a special player before he got hurt. As far as him not being Jennings, Nelson or Adams, that is a pretty lofty standard. Those are 3 of like the top 8 WRs they've ever had. I also agree with whoever made the comment about the 03 team going to the Super Bowl. It certainly had that feel and by the playoffs was as good as anyone. Ahman Green was one of Wolf's last strokes of genius for the Packers. One of my favorite players they've ever had. Walker was talented. I don't dispute that. It's hard to find a receiver picked in the top 20 of a draft that isn't. I'm just going by straight production. He had one season in Green Bay where he caught more than 41 balls. It's not that he wasn't talented, but he was a one season wonder. Eventually went to Denver and was just okay. I'm glad we weren't the team to give him 40M. He seemed to have some character issues, and that matters too in these evaluations.

    Sure would be nice to be Alabama right now. If one of your stars gets COVID, or suffers a season-ending injury like Waddle did over the weekend, you just plug in the 5-star sitting being him, or the 5-star sitting behind that guy. That team is so deep, it's really incredible. I don't know why so many star recruits end up going to a place where there's a solid chance they may never leave the bench. Why do so many 4 star recruits choose to go to places like Alabama and OSU and Clemson and be just another name on the bench in a sea of stars rather than come somewhere like UW where they could be one of the best players on the team, get to start playing as freshmen and really put themselves on the map while still playing for a contending program? I genuinely want to understand why they choose that path.

    Walker was meh. He was kind of a head case. He had one great season and one good one, with Brett Favre throwing him the ball. He certainly wasn't Jordy Nelson or Davante Adams or even Greg Jennings. Certainly nothing that would constitute a feather in a cap for a first round pick. Kampman was a great pick. Scott Wells too. So there was a couple gems, but not much to show for the early rounds.
