NFL Off-season 2022

Bears must be going full rebuild.  Probably makes sense, although as a fan it sucks.

I think they have to.  Aging defense.  By the time the offense finally got good, the D would've blown.  Might as well just tear it all down.

Yeah.  Seems like they’ve been rebuilding for 35 years.  Devin Hester was fun, I guess.  Urlacher was great.  It’s been a tough run though.

AFC West getting thicker and thicker...Khalil Mack to the Chargers, to team up with Joey Bosa. Are they copying the Rams blueprint?

Josh McDaniels is going to have a tough few years with the Raiders. One could argue they overachieved last year, and the AFC West has gotten tougher over the past few days.

Toughest division on paper. 

Heck, the AFC as a whole is pretty stacked right now.

No charges for Watson; QB vows to 'rebuild' name...

Seahawks, Steelers and Panthers are rumored to be interested in trading for Him.

Hate to say it, but unless the Pats make some big moves next week it's kind of hard to see them faring too well in what is now a pretty loaded AFC.

Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs, Bills, Bengals, Colts & Steelers IF they get solid QBs, Titans, Ravens (if everyone's healthy).

Yeah you could probably argue the Pats are at the same level as a few of those teams, but either way the AFC is stacked and it's possible NE isn't even a Top-6 team in the conference as constituted. Love Mac, but they need to improve in a lot of other areas especially defense and also finding a true WR1. Also, sorry but I'm still confused with how their coaching staff is constructed. Even with Belichick there... like why Matt Patricia and Joe Judge and no true coordinators.

I’m really hoping the Pats trade for Brandin Cooks. He’s 28, so I can’t imagine him being part of the Texans rebuild. 4.3 speed and he had successes with NE in the past. They need a receiver that can spread the field, a true deep threat.

I wouldn't mind. I have to look though because I think I actually remember a time when he said that if he got traded again then he'd probably retire. Because he's been traded a TON especially in the last 4-5 years lol.

Cowboys are finalizing a trade to send WR Amari Cooper and a sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for a 2022 fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick, per league sources.

Who needs Cooper when we have Agholor and Jonnu Smith... it’s infuriating how much those two are being paid for virtually no production.

I'm honestly fine with not getting Cooper. He has a 22M cap hit the next three years, and I feel like he tends to disappear in games when they really need him. Idk, it just felt like if we did get him he'd probably be another Agholor. Makes a few plays here and there but in the bigger games, mostly a non-factor outside of maybe opening things up for others (which Agholor does, and allows Bourne + Meyers to get open) but that's not what we need clearly.

I don’t care about Cooper but getting a legit #1 makes the receiving core pretty dang good.  I like Bourne, Meyers, Agholor, Henry and Smith.  Some nice guys out of the backfield too. White back.

Yeah, it’s a lot of money, but so is Cooks. Cooper is 6’1 with a 40 in the 4.3’s who has had multiple 1000+ yard/5TD seasons for both Oakland and Dallas. He’s still only 27. Id take him over the below every day of the week.
