Dee Ford was fucking dogshit until last season, and even then he single handedly ended the season for us. He's trash and I'm glad they didn't pay him. Justin Houston has been hurt garbage ever since he got paid. I wish people would get off this narrative that the Chiefs D is worse without them. You could have plugged any old scrubs into their positions over the last three seasons and got basically the same results. Fuck'em.
I wouldn't even say they created a need by trading Ford. He was a square peg in Spags scheme. He used Kiwanuka as a strongside backer in the 07 season but that's only to get the best players on the field. Strahan, Tuck and Osi at end. It was a great move to get value for him especially for this draft.
Wow Gould demanding a trade now, wtf happened between him and the niners??
I think they're finally over the afcc game and re-emerging.

Same place the other Dallas fans pop out of when the season starts
RIP
... again
I don't blame him. The highlight of the last two years was him dancing on the sidelines that one time. He's ready to move on.

Good to know playing football is more important than taking care of his sick wife. What a guy!
Yep, they definitely didn't discuss it between them and he's definitely left her completely on her own.
I don't think there's ever been a question about Staffords commitment personally but.. there are lots of noises about work ethic and commitment coming out of The Lions now that are refreshing after last year. A nice change from who is and isn't "buying into" Patricia..
As for Kelly, as someone who has helped loved ones through surgery before I can almost picture exactly how the conversation went. He's probably desperate to be there for her. She's desperate to do right by him. And at this stage of her recovery, there's probably almost nothing he can do for her and is probably starting to fuss a little. Realising the support network they have, she's probably told him to get his ask back to work and to get his head back into some sort of normality and routine. I think it says more about the internet that some folks go straight to "should be there for his wife!" and spin this into a negative.
Did he even talk about retirement last season or this off-season?
If the Cards pass on Murray I'm pretty sure the 9ers will be elated.
They can trade down a few slots (maybe Giants or Raiders?[I don't know how sold Gruden is on Carr]) and still pick up a top pass rusher. That is of course if Allen is still no the board at 6.
Tucker's reaction to getting 23 mil/4 years with 12 mil guaranteed:
I was thinking that. I'll be ecstatic if we trade down with Raiders #4. Allen/QWill and extra picks.
Not if Raiders trade up because one of the big 3 (Q, Allen, Bosa) are the priority targets and Jets take whichever one is left.
In all honesty, while trading down has kind of become a meme at this point I think we're likely to do so — especially if Kyler doesn't go number one. And I don't even think it'll be to add to this year's capital so much as it would be to fleece someone for their 2020 first rounder.
We already have 2. That's decent enough leverage to get whatever the QB target is next draft, but add a third first round pick and there's almost zero questions. You land your franchise QB and generate a ton of hype going into Vegas. Of course, that hinges on Derek not being able to rise back to his ceiling this year, but I'm fairly certain this is the ideal insurance policy for the position and there's a good chance it's something that Mark Davis is pushing for behind the scenes. Worse comes to worst you stick with Derek and you still have 3 first rounders to build with next season which ain't no bad thing.
As long as I have somewhere to post expletives when we fuck this up I don't care.
Edit: and I think something that doesn't get written about enough in the clickbait articles and hot take tweets is Mark's desire to make a splash in Vegas impacting roster decisions. There was some damning stuff coming out about it when the Mack deal happened, but it was easier to just write "lol Gruden" so shit got buried.

It's actually symbolism, just need to know how to look for it. We Raven's are subtle...
This was a few weeks after Winston's W thing went viral and the Ravens blew out some team so his teammates dared Flacco to do it in the post game presser
Derek Carr's replacement:
Imagine going from the second most handsome QB in the league (behind Jimmy G) to young Conan O'Brien.
Skins have a ton of holes so of course snyder would package picks to move up.
Sorry, but the two hottest QBs in the league both reside in Los Angeles.
The Matt Ryan experience > The Viking Experience
And that's a shoot!
