It’s almost like the order was picked before the broadcast and they just fucked up the timing of the commercial break.

Lol the hawks did everything they could to fuck up their odds towards the end of the season

[Jones] Per source, Lamar Jackson's five-year contract worth $260M contains both a no-tag clause and a no-trade clause by Kimber80 in nfl

So after 5 seasons in the league then, why does the most electric running qb still not have a shoe deal? And for all of these companies “lining up” for him, when is Lamar going to have time to sit down and review the contracts and make sure that he’s getting fair value for his name and image usage?

An agent has direct connections and experience working with the top brands who would much rather work a deal with an industry professional than some players mom.

[Schefter] Eagles’ DT Jalen Carter is now the first 2024 1st-round pick to reach agreement, landing a 4-year, fully-guaranteed $21,806,184 deal, per source. Deal negotiated by Drew Rosenhaus, Ryan Matha and Jason Rosenhaus with Eagles officials Howie Roseman, Jake Rosenberg, Bryce Johnston. by indig0sixalpha in nfl

Even if he works out for them, it was still the right move to pass on him. The environment for success on the Eagles is miles beyond what the Bears could offer him. They have veteran d-line leadership who can help mentor him, along with some of his former teammates who will make the adjustment process much easier.

3% is the max fee an agent can take. For larger contracts that number is usually around to 1-2%. And then you have to question how much he’s missing out on with endorsements.

Super friendly and accommodating staff, and the flaming sea bass roll is my favorite bite of the year so far. So so good.

Lol he also gave David Sampson a similar piece of advice when he was starting out at the Marlins owner: “Finish in second place every single year because your fans will say 'Wow, we got a shot. We're in it!' But there's always the carrot left. There’s always one more step to take.”

Jerry just doesn’t care, either about the optics or the on field product, as long as the money keeps coming in.

What's the plan at backup safety? by gf2020 in CHIBears

Hicks isn’t actually snoops nephew lol, that’s just a term of endearment he uses like lil bro. But I agree, he played better than expected for a 7th rounder and I think he’ll be able to have a shot at sticking on the team

Dude gave up no sacks and only 8 pressures playing in the SEC last year lol. Totally shut down Will Anderson and BJ Ojulari

[Jahns] The Eagles traded up for DT Jalen Carter. The Bears now have the 10th pick and an extra fourth-rounder for next year by horrorpants in CHIBears

Lol this is a terrible take, he’d be a perfect fit at 3T for us, the only questions are his work ethic/legal troubles

Apparently Oxy is a big Houston energy company but the logo is a big blue circle with OXY written in the middle and it definitely gives off big pill vibes. I was very confused when I saw them that first opening series

It’s absurd that this isn’t even the best catch today (or in the last hour)
