Ouch. Ramsey getting more than Nuk.

I think Ramsey is overrated and this is a terrible deal.

A surprise: The Washington Football Team is releasing legendary RB Adrian Peterson, sources tell me and
@MikeGarafolo
.

The interest there is who is the starter now is it Bryce Love from Stanford who missed all last year rehabbing ACL surgery, is it Antonio Gibson, the David Johnson clone, or is it Peyton Barber? Lots of people apparently think it's Gibson he's owned in 70% of fantasy leagues now but he's a converted WR with 33 total carries in college(don't know about JC), DJ had over 850 carries at UNI. Big and fast, very little RB experience seems like a major issue as a starting RB in the NFL, especially pass protection.

I grabbed Bryce Love late in my draft last night just in case he winds up being the starter. Barber is the guy who has actually played in the NFL, 4 years Tampa Bay, physical runner. There are some reports that say Love is a few weeks away from fully recovered and some that say Gibson is on a short lease because he's so inexperienced so Barber is the guy.

I can't shake this feeling Washington's offense could be REALLY bad. I had them pegged as a team that was going to improve this year with guys getting a year older but so much depends on Haskins who I'm just not that high on.

McKissic has the nod at starter according to their depth chart

McKissic has the nod at starter according to their depth chart

he is but virtually nobody expects him to be the #1 RB. He's a 3rd down RB.

Just a few weeks ago people thought Love was competing with Peterson for the starting role so when AD got cut they thought Love was the guy. Apparently they still think he's a few weeks away from physically being back full time so he's 4th now but many think he'll wind up the starter. Everything I see now thinks Gibson and Barber will get the most carries.

Just seems odd they cut AD and now are so unclear as to who is the guy but maybe Turner figured eventually Gibson and Love are the guys so get rid of Peterson now to make room for them later.

If he's healthy I expect Love will be a solid guy for them but their OL on paper stinks, their QB stinks so I don't think any RB they put there is going to have many holes

They didn’t have choice. Goff restructuring in 3....2....1....

Yup. Stupidly bad contracts are what happens when you trade 2 firsts for 1 year without getting a new deal in right away.

He had Snead over a barrel.

The #Vikings have placed DE Danielle Hunter on Injured Reserve, meaning he’ll miss at least 3 games. He did not practice today.

Just a random thought. Does anyone buy all this Bills nonsense? I know they will be better, but I'm still not sold on Josh Allen as division winning QB. Pats until proven otherwise!

Yes. Good WR options. Decent TE. Good O line. Great defense.

Allen already showing signs last year of stepping up.

Not buying the Pats. Have you seen their starting linebackers? They lost a couple of OL starters. Plus Chung. Their wide receivers are still so bad Byrd is WR3.

Plus Cam is a major injury concern.

Agreed he was much better last year but he's still erratic.

The key for them is how good the defense turns out to be.

He is a good player, but giving up three picks is going to haunt them.

Plus its going to be really hard to keep Kupp...

Thats nice and all, but Josh Allen sucks.

I won't bet against Belichick....or a rejuvenated Newton. The Pats current OL and receivers are better than what Cam had in most years.

BC, you're right on all fronts, but something about the Bills just doesn't do it for me. I was shocked as hell when I saw they cut Sanu. I'm more in line with Belichick's psychological advantage over the division. Talk is cheap and if Cam CAN stay healthy, he can still hurt you.

Football is a funny game. There are several games this weekend that look like no contests but it's likely at 1-2 of them will be shock results.

I hated Allen coming out, and while he hasn't been awesome he hasn't been terrible either and there was definite improvement in his game. And he's never had good outside receivers to take advantage of his arm. I think with Diggs that changes.

It's hard to bet against BB but the guy can't term water into wine. The starting right tackle is going to be Korey Cunningham, Jermaine Eluemunor or Yodny Cajuste. Wynn at LT has been injured the last 2 seasons. Starting ILB's are Ja'Whuan Bentley and rookie Josh Usch who played edge in college.

They just lost too many starters to opt outs. And while Cam Newton is a good QB, I'm not sure he has the mentality that Brady had that makes up for some of the short comings at receiver.

One thing is for sure. If BB wins with this team he is the GOAT.

#Eagles and Jason Peters have reworked the left tackle’s contract. Now worth up to $8 million, according to Peters’ agent Vince Taylor.

Denver expressed interest in signing former Rams’ and Packers’ LB Clay Matthews, but was told he is “not going to play,” per source. Matthews would have been a strong replacement for the injured Von Miller.

@AdamSchefter

To be clear: Clay Matthews wasn’t willing to play right now for what the Broncos offered. He is still open to play for the right opportunity for him and his family.

#Eagles TE Zach Ertz, whose extension talks recently broke off, is speaking to local reporters about negotiations “It's been frustrating at times. It's been difficult.” Ertz said he wants to remain in Philly: "I don't know for sure if that feeling is mutual."
