To do what? Get the water? Lol

I wouldn't bet against Mariota excelling by going to a team that actually builds on his strengths. The issue with Mariota is that he has always been at his best when he isn't forced to be a pocket passer. Get him out on the perimeter and let him use his athleticism.

Austin Ekeler just signed for 4 years 24m with 15 m guaranteed.

Did he just reset the market for Drake?

I'd rather have Ekeler than Drake.

I never understand how so many other teams find late round or UDFA RBs and the Cardinals struggle to do that. Almost every UDFA RB the Cardinals bring in obviously doesn't belong in the NFL, and you'll watch other teams have 4-5 solid backs in the preseason.

DJ Foster might be a nice special teams player, but he has never looked like he belonged on an NFL roster when he was actually needed to carry the football.

Saints putting money where mouth is: they’re planning to place 1st-round tender on restricted FA QB Taysom Hill, per source, meaning NO will have a chance to match any offer sheet he signs with another team or get back a first-round pick. Saints plan to re-sign him soon anyway.

NFLPA electing a new president on Tuesday. Vote on CBA will be announced Thursday. No matter how all those votes go, it’s a transformational week ahead.

Does anyone think Dak is THAT good?

And to look at the previous question, the biggest reason some teams can take guys off the couch and make great running backs out of them is of course a dominant O Line.

I think Dak is alright.

Well Gruden is a West Coast offensive guy. Imo No way he’s changing or that Marriotta can succeed running that. Gruden is a hard ass on a QB & I just can’t see that sitting well with a subpar QB
