Yeah ouch

Congrats on trading Geno Smith for practically nothing. (Edit: thought the pick was lower, i guess a 3rd isnt too bad.) Now you get... basically Geno Smith, only without DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett and for more money

What exactly is Pittsburgh planning at QB? They have only Skylar Thompson on the roster and pick at 21. 

Rodgers, probably

Lots of smoke that Sanders will fall to 21. 
But they can choose between Rodgers and Wilson if they want

So a punch to the nuts or a kick to the dick.

Fields signs with the Jets. I feel so bad for him. He seems like such a good kid. 

Seriously? He signed a 2 year $40 million contract because NFL QBs by default make way more than they should just for stepping on the field, once they get past their rookie deal.  The dude has lucked into generational wealth without ever actually succeeding at the NFL level.

When you put it that way... it's hard to argue.

I assume you meant his career has landed him with another cursed franchise?

Plus, assuming he doesn't "figure it out," he could easily have around 5 or so more years of backup play. So maybe 25 or so million added to all that.

Figuring it out is never going to happen, from a monetary standpoint Fields has done quite well.  Accomplishments as a player?  Not so much.  Nevertheless, I wish him well.

Bills land Joey Bosa, 1-year, $12.6 million.

Looking forward to seeing him in officially licensed gear on the sidelines, ha

He seems to be one of many players that just can't hold up against injury

I saw a comment that said keep him in bubble wrap until the playoffs. lol

I'm definitely happy for Fields. He gets another chance to prove himself and start - more than most QBs get in the NFL. He was decent with the Steelers, definitely not "as good" as his numbers may have shown, but certainly took a step forward from where he was with the Bears. But, he was also clearly a limited QB - limited enough that one of the best coaches in the league benched him when he was running a 4-2 record. 

I wish him the best and I hope he fully figures it out.

Why on earth would Houston do this? 

The podcast I listen to said he wanted to reset the T market again with an updated contract (he is signed through 2026 at $21MM per year. (He got his $50MM signing bonus with the extension)

There was some chatter about his locker room presence being a problem (maybe projecting it if he doesn't get his contract). 

They said the value of the picks combined is equivalent to a first round pick, but they won't be able to get a plug in T with what they got back.
