NFL 2021 Season

[Donoghus]

I guess since the new league year technically starts next week with free agency, its time to get the new season thread up & going.

Stickied also.

Is the Chiefs dynasty already over?

Losing key anchors of their o-line, a weakness Tampa exploited

[Moranis]

Brees officially retires

Brees officially retires

Good for him.  Why stick around at this point?  He can have a nice cushy job as a broadcaster / talking head, without having to have his body further destroyed.

Looks like Tampa Bay runs the NFC South for the foreseeable future.

This is not going over well in Chicago.

Hilarious stuff. Their back-up is making more than our (maybe) starter!

Did you see what the Bears offered for Russell Wilson?

According to Dan Patrick, it was three first rounders, a third rounder, and two current starters.  It sounds like the Bears weren't thrilled with having to sign Dalton, either.

yeesh, that brings back the nightmares when Snyder forced that god-awfully lopsided deal for Washington to draft RG III.  Killed the Skins for the better part of a decade.

Big trade today.  Gonna think Jimmy G is gone.  That's a good haul for MIA.

Filed to ESPN: Dolphins trading No. 3 overall pick to the San Francisco 49ers for the No. 12 pick, a 2021 third-round pick (SF’s comp pick for Robert Saleh hiring) and first-round picks in 2022 and 2023, per sources.

Blockbuster deal with massive ramifications for years to come.

It's crazy that the top 3 players drafted are probably gonna be quarterbacks. Has that ever happened before?

Dang.  Two firsts and a third to move down nine slots?  Yes, please.

Yeah, you can't pass that up from a value standpoint.
