Many people around the league were irate on Tuesday. Plus, a framework for a Justin Jefferson extension, Justin Simmons landing spots and more.
I hate it, and I know coaches and front-office folks do, too. I also think the players would if it were put into practice—and in particular players with children.Boo hoo, the millionaires have to work year-round and can’t dictate time off!
But there’s always been the one respite in there, and that’s that the league mostly shuts down from mid-June until mid-July. It marries up with the end of school, and it’s always been when guys can actually unplug and recharge for the seven-day, round-the-clock schedule that gets going right after the summer break. It’s why pretty much everyone working in the NFL has their anniversaries and even some kids’ birthdays in that window.
My guess is, if you were them , you’d be pissed too. And I think, in time, the players would come to hate it as well.Will the proposed changes in OTAs help improve offensive line performance? I keep hearing lack of practice time is to blame and was hoping to get your thoughts.The problem with offensive line development now relates as much to the practice rules as it does to the time the players are in-house. Linemen, for obvious reasons, do need some level of contact to develop.
Jefferson’s got $19.743 million coming on his fifth-year option this year. That means just to match what St. Brown landed from the Detroit Lions, the Minnesota Vikings have to get to $80 million over the first three years of a new contract. Now, you consider that Jefferson is a better player. And maybe you consider Nick Bosa’s numbers, as he’s the NFL’s top-paid nonquarterback. Bosa had a $17.859 million fifth-year option for ’23. He got $98.
The Baltimore Ravens are the other team that makes sense to me, if only because they’ve been big on acquiring smart, professional third-contract vets over the past half decade or so.Dak Prescott. I think eventually the team will buckle, though it is starting to feel to me a bit like Jared Goff in Los Angeles in 2020.
He’s expected to be cleared July 1. If everything goes smoothly, I could see the guy rushing for 1,000 yards and catching 40 or 50 balls from Bryce Young.Matt, yes. I’m gonna go back to my old rule: If a team is strong on the lines of scrimmage, it should be in just about every game, and that success should be sustainable.
