Get that ageless wonder to Berea.

I can't post the tweet due to profanity, but Jason Kelce is returning for another year. You can view it on Josina Anderson's twitter page.

The Steelers have a history of knowing what they are doing with LB's...Not sure I want someone with whom they are cutting bait.

Nice. And of course he got the pick against Watson and the Browns. LOL

He was one of those I really rooted for (beyond my love for the Browns) since The Return - Chud and Courtney Brown were a couple others.

I'm wondering if it's time for him to come back closer to home and do a little entry-level coaching, broadcasting. Or, does he have a season left as a back-up mentor in the league?

I wish him the very best.

Hoyer seemed like a good dude. Shanny got more out of him that year than any other coach was able to during Brian's many travels around the league. I'm not sure what his playing status is. He looked pretty bad when he last was on the field. I think he left that game w/a concussion, but I'm not positive.

Edit: This might NOT be true. I just remembered that Milk said he was starting to wonder if this Dov guy is even a real person.

He retweets what others report. Fowler reported it so I believe it.

He's real guy but as far as how reputable he is I have no idea. His report of Rodgers deal with the Jets being a done deal was actually a retweet from Trey Wingo and not his own. But it did bring about a lot of speculation. Here's an article about it and about him.....

Who is Dov Kleiman? Solving sports media’s biggest mystery

https://nypost.com/2023/03/15/who-is-dov-kleiman-solving-sports-medias-biggest-mystery/

Thanks guys.

Sorry for the confusion. I was posting this and had to take a call from a customer. I pretty much botched the entire thing.

I think this guy is the best FS in the NFL. Obviously, we won't be interested, but someone will.

Hopefully it doesn't end up being the Bengals.

Ouch. That would suck!

27 INT in the last six years... while starting every game and playing 99% of his teams defensive snaps.

Agreed. What are the thoughts on their Orlando Brown signing. Is he really that much of an upgrade from Jonah? I see Brown is a converted RT similar to Wills.

Yeah, he's a guy that doesn't get a lot of national recognition. I'm guessing because he plays in Tennessee???? But again, I have thought he was the best FS in football for a few years now. Not saying I am right and I haven't researched how others rank the FSs, but dude balls every time I watch the Titans. Great instincts. Covers the field well. Can diagnosis the play quickly. Excellent run defender. I don't think they blitz him much, but then again, why would they?

Hey Kash.

I think the Bengals want to keep both [just guessing] but as you probably saw, Jonah might want out.

Hey Vers!

I saw that Jonah might want out. You are good evaluating OL, is Brown that much better than Jonah? Was it an upgrade for them in your opinion?

I heard ideally for them, they would just slide Jonah over to RT.

If Wills' QBs had been Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, he'd probably be thought of more highly. When your QBs are magicians at avoiding pressure, you give up fewer sacks.

Orlando Brown is a fine player, but he's not someone I'm worried about. One advantage over Jonah is durability. Don't think Brown has missed a game in his career. Jonah missed his entire rookie year with a shoulder injury. He played 10 games in 2020 then missed the rest with a knee injury. Last season he dislocated both knee caps, one in week 5 (but kept playing,) the other in the Wild Card game.

Orlando Brown is definitely the more impressive specimen walking off the bus as well.

I haven't studied either guy since their college days, but I have watched a lot of their games in the NFL.

Williams is a very smooth player. He plays w/good technique. He's also very athletic and fluid for a man of that height. On the negative side, he is not very strong and doesn't have long arms.

Brown is a monster of a man. Long arms and strong as an ox. You are not running through him. He is not as athletic as Williams. His technique is poor. He plays too high at times. The crazy thing is that he has been doing it since college and is able to compensate for it. He doesn't get beat all that often.

I think both guys could play on either side. Williams played some RT at Alabama. For our sake, I hope Williams does leave the Bengals. That would be a very good set of bookend tackles for the Bengals.

Thanks for the insight Bull and Very. I am with you, I hope Jonah leaves lol

Orlando Brown is a huge upgrade Over Jonah Williams. 5 days ago I think
The Bengals had all intents to start Williams at LT. But when
Brown fells into their lap it was no question they had
To make that move. It's all about keeping Burrow clean

Williams gave up the most sacks of any starting LT last year
And that's missing 4 games. Myles Garrett abused him
Every match-up. Williams has issues with speed rushers.
The Bengals I think we're going to move him to RT
But he said no thanks
If they trade Jonah it's a win win. They get a decent draft pick
And his money comes off the books.

I remember good teams in the past, especially the Steelers, always had 4-5 DL they would rotate in and out of the lineup every game to keep them fresh all game long. The same with RB's they would rotate 2-3 all game long to keep them fresh. That's why they were always good at stopping the run and running the ball. We seem to be doing the same thing now. I'm sure we are still going to draft another DL and even a RB with a late round pick. JMO

Well..........damn!

Dang.

No idea where else to put this.

The seems to have flown under the radar.

John Elway no longer with Broncos as contract ends

Denver Broncos legend John Elway is no longer employed by the franchise, as his consulting contract ended and will not be renewed.

Elway confirmed his departure to 9News in Denver on Tuesday, saying the new ownership of the team puts the Broncos "in good hands." His contract as a consultant expired on the first day of the 2023 NFL league year, March 15.

Elway, 62, said the decision was made after a meeting with new co-owner Greg Penner, who has called Elway the "ultimate Bronco."

From 2011 to 2021, Elway ran the Broncos' front office as general manager and executive vice president of football operations. The Broncos hired George Paton as general manager in 2021, and Elway transitioned to a consultant role.

"I've enjoyed the relationship with the Broncos for a long, long time," Elway told 9News. "I told Greg I'd be happy to be a resource for him and help in any way that I can. I just wanted the flexibility. They're in great hands. I still plan on being around to watch and be a resource for Greg or George, if I can."

The move closes a storied chapter for Elway and the Broncos. He won three Super Bowls during his 28 years with the franchise -- two titles as a quarterback and another as a GM -- and is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

"I've been with the Denver Broncos for so long that it was nice to have some sort of connection, which is what I wanted," Elway told 9News about his consultant position. "I didn't want an obligation. I'm getting a little older, I want to be able to do some things I haven't done. I'm ready to have a flexible schedule."

Is it just me, or does it seem the last few years, the number of players requesting to be traded is growing?

White said he is upset w/the direction of the franchise. Bucs signed Baker. Can anyone blame him? It's like they are purposely tanking.
