And it is free agency season
Some big moves
Kirk Cousins to the Falcons. Vikings signed DarnoldKing Henry to the Ravens is interesting. Their running back plays QB
The Commanders just gave Marcus Mariota $6m for a year??
Jimmy G got released
Barkley to the Eagles
Some of the QB names linked to the Broncos are gross

love Henry. Almost got his jersey. His highlights reel is off the charts, an insanely good player, wasted in a shithouse team.

I'm not triggering you mate, but who is that? Haven't had my eye on it.
Wilson to the Steelers seems solid for both of them. Good luck - will see what they can get out of him

We were interested in Darnold, but thankfully his price went too high. Zach Wilson has been mentioned
Thankfully Jameis Winston has already gone to the Browns
The way the team is at the moment is completely fucked. Getting a proven failure in for a couple of years seems a waste of time. The rebuild is not only behind, but hamstrung by the Russell fucking Wilson deals. Burn the joint to the ground and start from the very bottom. With Mahomes and the Chiefs in our division (and the possibility of the Chargers making use of their gun QB) we're playing for 2nd for a while yet anyway. It is purgatory!

Good move. Veteran presence as a former no. 2 overall pick himself will be a great sounding board for the rookie QB the Commanders select at 2.

Kirk has one AWESOME manager. Guy just keeps getting paid
Not just the manager though. He keeps taking short term deals with front loaded guarantees from desparate owners.
And the QB market economics are broken.

The Bears trade Justin Fields to Pittsburgh. Good outcome for Fields. There is a significant chance he will get an opportunity to start either this season or next, strong coaching setup, time to develop. I'm not totally convinced he's a bust, the coaching setup in Chicago was a dumpster fire

lets see how well this goes down

@bayimports Seems to be the swivel and landing on legs that is banned. Not unreasonable. I don't watch much NRL, but don't hear much noise about it being an issue.
I saw on an NFL subreddit it described the tackle as 'rare' - when all conditions are met.
-
it was surprising how many tackles of this nature did occur last two years. This was arguably because the NRL were trying to clamp down on it, so if it even looked like a hip drop tackle it was declared one, even if it technically wasn't. Not many this year but I would also imagine players largely have got the message.
In saying that, if a player tries to barge past you, your natural instinct is to pull them down, whether your reaction includes actually thinking about being ok to use body weight, but not accidentally/deliberately landing on the legs, is not always possible.
It does reduce the injuries that occur though which is good
