Jason Witten reported to ESPN he is retiring, again, will sign a 1 day contract with the Cowboos in March after his Raider contract officially ends (beginning of new league year) so he can retire a Cowboo.

First ballot Hall of Famer.  Missed only one game his entire career and that was because of a broken jaw.

Right?

There's already a huge social media reaction about how if this was a black athlete he would already be destroyed as well as calling for black players to fuck up this guys world for the rest of his career. Lots of push on him being white with a black girlfriend.

I have news for you folks, the dude was a 3rd stringer playing on league minimum and wasn't going to be back next season. Was likely destined for a practice squad. THAT is why it isn't headline news YET. Because no one knows who this fucking guy is.

If it was some high profile white guy it would have been known around the world in 20 minutes. Relax Dez. Fucking chill man. Don't need to play the race card and beat that dude's ass card the second you find out.

There could be an argument that the Jets or Jags should trade for Stafford as a rental to help develop their new draft pick and to get their teams on track, then trade him off in a year or two.

I'm not sure how many teams I'd expect to shop for him.

The teams I would expect to be OUT on his market based on existing rostered QBs are:
Bills
Cowboys
Ravens
Browns
Bengals
Packers
Titans
Bucs
Falcons
Chiefs
Chargers
Cardinals
Seahawks

That's 13 teams.

The teams who seriously need QB help and are drafting outside the top 5 are:
Patriots
Giants
Eagles
WTF
Steelers
Bears
Colts
Saints
Broncos
49ers

That's 10 teams.

The 9 teams I haven't mentioned yet are:
Dolphins- Tua?
Jets - #2 overall draft pick
Lions - Duh
Vikings - Cousins may not be the answer, but moving to Stafford doesn't make sense.
Texans - Watson franchise drama.
Jags - #1 overall draft pick
Panthers - How do they feel about Teddy?
Raiders - Carr has questions, but I'm not sure Stafford makes sense here, either.
Rams - Stafford is better than Goff, but the contract situation doesn't work.

So who are the 12 teams that called so far? The 10 teams in my second list and two of the iffy teams in my last list? Or are there surprises?




Maybe not super likely, but the Jets or Jags could be calling just to see. They may for some reason conclude Stafford + whatever haul of picks they could get for their #1/#2 is a better option than a top QB in the draft. Unlikely, but worth the phone call to find out IMO. Plus a couple other of those iffy teams it makes sense to call.


There could be an argument that the Jets or Jags should trade for Stafford as a rental to help develop their new draft pick and to get their teams on track, then trade him off in a year or two.


That's an idea, but poor Stafford....

I was thinking more along the lines of the Jets specifically going "Hey, we've got the #2 pick and a young QB who is still on his rookie deal (who has possibly been hampered by Adam fuckin' Gase, but if he plays the same this year he's probably going to lose any hope of trade value). We also need help at more than just the quarterback position, maybe we look into turning what we already have into multiple pieces that could benefit us more."

What's your draft pick value chart say they should get for that #2 pick? What could they get for Darnold? What if Darnold was part of trading for Stafford? Maybe somebody like the Colts are willing to give up a decent haul of picks/players for that #2 spot. For the most part, the Colts really are just a QB away and while I don't think the Colts have crazy cap trouble, a QB rookie deal is going to allow them even more flexibility in resigning their players or bringing in FA's to replace the lost picks/players.

I can understand wanting to draft a young QB and take advantage of his rookie deal to put talent around him, but even with the cap room they have FA is going to eat that up pretty quick if they actually try to fill all the holes, and using their picks means it's going to take longer to complete the rebuild. The next best thing IMO is a solid veteran and load of ammo to put young talented players around him. Stafford probably has enough good years left to make it worthwhile. You know he's good, you know he can take advantage of the talent put around him, and you know he can also elevate some of the talent put around him. You can only hope your rookie QB does that, and they've just been through this with Darnold.

I took a peek.

31st in kick off return yard average
31st in punt return yard average
25th in TB%
24th in punt yard avg
30th in net punt yard avg
29th for total number of punts downed inside the 20

Outside of Mason Crosby it looks like their special teams were pretty shit. Much lower than their defensive rankings.

We've come a long way when a 4,000 yard, 3:1 (TD:INT) season is "bad looking"

But I get you. It was his 2nd lowest yardage total in the last 10 seasons, and his lowest TD total in 10 seasons, but was still good enough for a top half QB season last year.

Well, we have come a long ways, but what looked bad was really how things looked while achieving those stats, not necessarily the stats themselves.

I watched 2019 Brady in New England. He was not himself. His numbers ended up being decent (don't ask me how), but he looked "off." After seeing how things turned out this year in NE, I'm going to say the optics were different in spite of him, not because of him. In other words: he had a lot less to work with.

Also, I said it last year and I'll say it again: had Antonio Brown not got himself kicked off the team, it's very possible that Brady would've won last year's Super Bowl. Remember, they were 8-0 at one point and had the league's #1 defense. Home field advantage and all that comes with it...and AB.

He's 65 years old, has been coaching for over 4 decades and he's never been a HC at any level.  Hell, the only time in his career he was even a coordinator was in the late 80's when was the OC for Texas El Paso for two seasons.

The Texans seem to be really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

If you looked at the two in a vacuum, you'd have to choose Bell.

All Bell wanted was a pay day. He got it, did some time in purgatory with a bad team, and now that bad team is paying him to play for a contender. Not bad.

AB screwed three different franchises, assaulted and stiffed/robbed a truck driver, and maybe raped a woman. There's no upside there.

In the same sentence the Packers announcer called Rodgers “A Rod” and then emphatically claimed the Rodger’s INT was actually caught by the WR and needed to be corrected by his partner.

Hard to say which part of the sentence made him sound worse.  Probably the “A Rod” part.

Everyone else (at least from what I seen) words it with something like what team he'll be on for week 1.  By having it be what his "next team" will be instead and not having the Lions on there they ensure that if Stafford stays with the Lions they win every single bet placed.

Unless of course they have a stated caveat like "must be on team other than the Lions for action."

Which means if Stafford stays with the Lions they can easily claim every single one of the bets placed on other teams loses.  And since people can't bet on the Lions for this bet that would mean the book wins ALL of the bets.

Then again this is just a tweet.  Maybe they spell it out in detail on their site.

Like I said, you're the gambler. I wouldn't know. It would seem odd that they're refusing to take bets on what another bookie is offering as the 4th most likely spot, just so they can push all the bets if that's what happened.

Pretty shady or smart (depending on how you look at it) of Bet Online to not have the Lions up there.  If Stafford does stay with the Lions then they win every single bet.

The Lions are his current team. How can they be his next team?

Everyone else (at least from what I seen) words it with something like what team he'll be on for week 1.  By having it be what his "next team" will be instead and not having the Lions on there they ensure that if Stafford stays with the Lions they win every single bet placed.

Unless of course they have a stated caveat like "must be on team other than the Lions for action."

You're the gambler. Are bookies in the habit of using imprecise language?

I don't see any "imprecise language."

Neither do I. Seems to me they're giving odds to take bets on Stafford's next team.

Which means if Stafford stays with the Lions they can easily claim every single one of the bets placed on other teams loses.  And since people can't bet on the Lions for this bet that would mean the book wins ALL of the bets.

Then again this is just a tweet.  Maybe they spell it out in detail on their site.

An offshore betting site thousands of miles away from almost all of the customers potentially doing something slightly shady?

- A new GM that comes from an organization that hasn't drafted a Pro Bowler in 7 years.

- A 65 year old HC in his first gig after only having been a coordinator for two years in the 80's for a small college.

- No draft picks in the first two rounds.

- $18.3M OVER the 2021 cap.

- Coming off a 4-12 season despite having a top 10 QB play every game.

- A pissed off franchise QB that wants out.

Might have to be an Elizabeth Warren-type situation.

In the same sentence the Packers announcer called Rodgers “A Rod” and then emphatically claimed the Rodger’s INT was actually caught by the WR and needed to be corrected by his partner.

Hard to say which part of the sentence made him sound worse.  Probably the “A Rod” part.

We've done the A rod thing before. It's not an uncommon thing.

If it's not imprecise language, what's the issue? If you think he'll be a Lion then don't bet with them

You're right.  It's not uncommon to hear "A Rod."  It's just that for pretty much every sports fan that's not also a Packers' fan "A Rod" means Alex Rodriguez.
