Don't know much about him. He's spent two years being healthy after a rookie injury. Was a starter last season for the full 17 games. Looks like maybe he's hitting his stride as a middle-of-the-road tackle football player. Can't complain about a marginal starter or solid depth at that price.

But you wish I was

I dove in a little deeper a few days ago. I won't bore you with the whole conversation, but this part is pertinent, AI gave me an answer with some vague terms, so I asked for a little depth...

explain: "minor predefined offsets over five years as per the policy structure"

"Minor predefined offsets over five years as per the policy structure" refers to how some NFL player injury insurance policies spread a small portion of the cap relief across multiple future years, rather than applying the entire amount in one lump sum.
​
Policy Design
These policies often include a clause where, after the primary credit hits the next league year's cap (e.g., 2026 for Watson's 2025 miss), the insurer amortizes a remaining balance—typically around $5 million annually—over five years to match the contract's guaranteed money structure and avoid overwhelming a single year's cap.

It also explained that these terms must be in the original policy. Teams cannot arbitrarily decide how to spread the payment after the fact.

5 years x5 million =25 million
Then...
25+17 (the reported lump sum) =42 million

I mean, I guess this may be a strong possibility?

YOU are the one that raised the whole issue over some brain-dead assumption:


I would be surprised if you could cross a street without a crossing guard.

That's their job to report.. Geez, Trump really wants to control the media.

I recently heard the Elgton Jenkins in his rookie yeare took over for an injured Bikatiari and played LT making the all rookie team.

You don't take a QB just to take one, but if there is a guy you like no matter what round you should draft one. We don't know who will be available next year and which QBs will improve next year, going into this year this was considered to be a really good QB draft but guys like Allar, Klubnik, and Nussmeier didn't develop as hoped and guys like Manning, Moore, and Sellers decided to return to school.

Yeah, I've been seeing the issue as well. I'm still trying to nail down the cause; every time I take out one issue, it seems there's another.

The bulk of the most recent (the last year+) issues were a result of bots & crawlers on the site overwhelming the Who's Online table and crashing it. I can't actually stop them from doing that (they have to choose to respect my bots.txt file), so I'm left with trying to manage it and keep that table cleared and clean, which I have tasks set up to handle this.

In the end, I may have to just transition the site to different software, but I really do not want to do that, ever.

He is solid and needed . Welcome back!

I just pulled this up from YouTube. I know it’s a highlight reel. I just wanted to point out his quick feet.

Watch his pulling ability, we had nothing close to this last year.

Not necessarily. I read a little thing that he's waiting for the market to dry up and specifically for another tackle to get paid, then start responding. That article said $25MM/yr is what he's after minimum. Lots of buyers, few viable tackles. We'll see how it shakes out.

Donald Trump Gifted Matching $145 Shoes to His Closest Advisers After Guessing Their Shoe Sizes: Report

Top White House officials are "afraid not to wear" the shoes gifted to them by the president, according to one staffer

President Donald Trump has reportedly found a way to unite his top advisers during a controversial moment in his presidency: matching shoes.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, March 9, that the president has taken to gifting his top Cabinet members and political allies pairs of his favorite dress shoes. The footwear, from an American brand called Florsheim, reportedly cost just $145 a pair and are paid for by the president himself, according to the outlet.

“All the boys have them,” one female White House told the Journal.

It seems to be true. In recent photos, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff have all been seen wearing matching shoes.

“It’s hysterical because everybody’s afraid not to wear them," another female official said.

Other recipients of Trump's favorite shoes reportedly include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, White House communications director Steven Cheung, deputy chief of staff James Blair and speechwriter Ross Worthington, as well as Fox News personality Sean Hannity and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Trump, 79, has also reportedly developed an affinity for guessing the recipient's shoe size in front of them before he orders their pair.

"He asks an aide to put in an order and, a week later, a brown Florsheim box arrives at the White House. Trump sometimes signs the box or attaches a note of gratitude, according to people familiar with the ritual," the Journal reported.

According to a recent photo of Rubio, however, the president's guessing may be slightly off. Following the reporting on Trump's shoe shopping, an image of the secretary of state went viral, showing him seemingly wearing loose Florsheim dress shoes with a noticeable gap between his heel and the back of the shoe.

Trump's preoccupation on the shoes being worn in the White House didn't come out of nowhere. Back in December, Vance recounted a "behind-the-scenes" Oval Office moment he said he would "never, ever forget."

The vice president told right-wing commentator Benny Johnson that he, Trump, Rubio and another unnamed politician were discussing a serious policy issue — until Trump abruptly shifted the conversation to their footwear.

"The president kind of holds up his hand and says, 'No, no, no, hold on a second. There’s something much more important. Shoes,' " Vance recounted. Trump then "peers over the Resolute Desk" and declared, "Marco, JD, you guys have s----- shoes. We gotta get you better shoes."

Trump then allegedly asked the men in the room for their shoe size. When one unnamed politician answered "7," Vance said, Trump apparently "leaned back in his chair and joked, 'You know you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size.' "

Maybe trump is trying to prepare himself for life after the presidency. In stead of a guess your weight booth at the fair he will open up a guess your she size booth?

And BTW- Florsheim shoes are primarily manufactured in China, India, Cambodia, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.

Just remember to tell your Doc

It's Bidens fault!

Just some minor confirmation.......

Well according to PFF his run blocking grade was worse than Blake Whiteheart's last year who was our #3 TE. We will be Stoll's 4th team in 6 years this coming season. MEH

I think he means that he will be removed from office but that will never happen. To impeach a president, which pretty much amounts to an accusation only needs a majority vote in order to move forward to the senate. To remove a president from office takes a two thirds majority vote by the senate. That's not going to happen.

I had NO idea he ranked anywhere near that high

FYI- Spotrac's website says it is $41M for the Browns' total dead cap.

You would have thought after this people may have taken the hint. But NOOOOOOO!

Watch out for a record in 2026 for QB release time against the Browns...I don't know what that record is, but every coordinator should be scheming for that game right now.
