NFL 2023 - Off-Season Player Updates/Discussion

[J Shuttlesworth]

but understandable for Nuk's perspective

KPRC2's Aaron Wilson reports the trade market for DeAndre Hopkins is "headlined" by the Bills.​

Wilson also named the Chiefs as an interested party, though with the caveat that the financial implications of taking on Hopkins' contract have tempered their pursuit. Per Wilson, the Ravens are not among the bidders. Hopkins struggled in 2021 and was slapped with a PED suspension to open the 2022 season. Instead of continuing on his downward trend, Hopkins rebounded with a 64/717/3 receiving line in nine games. He would immediately take over as the Bills' second receiver if they acquire him and his fantasy prospects would soar with Josh Allen as his quarterback.

If all these things fall into place the AFCE is going to be a lot of fun to watch.

yeah thanks for thinking of us Zeke...

Surely ****ing not hahaha.

It might be worth it on a minimum deal just to ruffle Dallas feathers but outside of that...

Cowboys would love you to sign him I reckon.

 

[Jatz]

That's probably true actually haha.

God I hope he doesn't end up in Philly.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

It feels like it would fit Zeke's recent career for him to move over just for the Cowboys to make the jump back on top of the Eagles.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

God I hope he doesn't end up in Philly.

Remember DeMarco Murray, lol

 

[Brasher]

Working out alone....code for "pick up basketball game"

 

[aussiedude]

This smells like BS, how does full back without the blocking Zeke have that much interest?

I think you will find he is now a center, as per his last NFL down.

 

[aussiedude]

the comp committee added 8 proposals. most are just dumb.

Someone tweeted a list of ex Cowboys that made it to Philly, didnt make for pretty reading. Zeke is a hard NO for mine.

[aussiedude]

No. the rules committee havent gone over the proposals yet. next week they will go over them, the Comp committee just added some new proposals to the ones submitted by the teams.

 

[rumply]

If you say so...

 

[Exe Gesis]

NFL owners to also vote for flex scheduling of Thursday Night Football

TNF is not long for this world if they keep lumping us with the most dogshit match ups every week

Funny how Thursday's work well for us AFL fans and we hate Mondays and Sundays and the yanks are the opposite.

I'm not a fan of Thursday night football. It's tolerable when the game is good, and your team isn't playing.

A few games a y year is fine, but not more than that.

I think its great for AFL. Sunday arvo & twilight is the worst imo.

The late Sunday afternoon game of AFL in the West is the pits for me ........ really shyte time slot to attend..... always gets a lesser crowd attending.

But the AFL like it as it is caters for the East Coast TV audience.

Eagles are always a ticket sell out for members, even if they don't go, so it has zero financial effect of West Coast's income stream, Dockers on the other hand it hurts them in the hip pocket which is far from ideal.

Many WA country fans travel 2- 4 hours to attend games and the late Sunday time slot is real killer for them.

Yeah you guys always seem to cop them. I suppose fair enough coz of your form lately but you used to get them all the time when you were good too

We get them regardless of form..... its AFL money for jam ...... all the West Coast Members games are sold out and paid for by the members in November the previous year.

So for every game the following year the West Coast Club have already banked $ 4,000,000 .00 + by the end of November x 11 home games = in excess of 44 million to plonk out of short term investments / money market, they don't hand over the game day gate receipts to the AFL till the week after the game has been played.

So when you add that interest to what they also get on their 60 million cash reserves, it goes a long way to explaining why the Club is a money making cash cow.

Terrific business model and its one of the reasons they always make a 4 million plus profit every year.

Anyway enough AFL on an NFL board.

Ravens so generous, giving Lamar more weapons, no excuses this year

No. the rules committee havent gone over the proposals yet. next week they will go over them, the Comp committee just added some new proposals to the ones submitted by the teams.

So just to clarify, there were discussions but no proposal was put forward so it's not something they'll be considering next week.
