Final details of the Cincy deal not out yet… but it’s supposed to be somewhere around 20mil for 2 years and the 3rd year highly incentives based. Reunion with Pollack his Oline coach in Dallas with whom he had his best years is huge. Bengals haven’t had even a somewhat decent oline since we let Whit go. This is an incredible signing along with 2 other solid Oline players that they didn’t overpay for.
And there’s this ??

Looks like Cincy finally got the hint that they should protect their franchise QB instead of letting him get mauled.

[Rapaport] The #Falcons fielded trade calls the last few days centered around QB Matt Ryan, sources say. Today is a deadline to make a decision, as Ryan will earn a $7.5M roster bonus from ATL if he's on the roster at 4 pm. It'll be either a trade or back to ATL, possibly with a sweetener.

Rumor mill says the Colts are in on it.

Seattle has been calling the Falcons too. As of now, Ryan is still a Falcon and very well may remain as such.

'The most toxic environment I've ever been a part of': Inside Urban Meyer's disastrous year with Jaguars

Coaches, players and staff stating that Meyer was belittling, demeaning and led by fear. Would threaten to fire coaches and cut players. Was unfamiliar with who NFL players were. Would insult people to their faces.

One story in the article: A player missed an assignment during a preseason game. An enraged Meyer, in a room of multiple people, "And do you know what would happen if I cut you guys? You couldn't get a job paying more than $15 an hour."

A veteran player, "I lost all respect for him after that."

Jaguars WR John Brown and Trevor Lawrence stayed after practice to run a route they had messed up. Reportedly Urban Meyer came up and said to Lawrence, "Trevor, you've got to slow it down for him. These boys from the South, their transcripts ain't right."

Multiple sources told The Athletic that coach Urban Meyer was unfamiliar with star players around the NFL, including, Deebo Samuel, Jamal Adams and Aaron Donald. "Who's this 99 guy on the Rams? I'm hearing he might be a problem for us."

Tony Buzbee, the attorney for the 22 women who are suing Deshaun Watson, told ESPN that not one NFL team reached out to him or his clients in the course of their efforts to research Watson as a trade option.

"The Browns organization did not reach out to me. I didn't expect them to do so, and can understand why they didn't. But, knowing what I know, they probably should have."

Cuz they don't give a shit Tony!

The Al Michael's Amazon deal is done. An official announcement is expected as early as this week. Still expected to be around $2M per game.

So we will have Troy and Joe on Mondays, Kirk and Al on Thursdays.

NBC is trying to keep Collinsworth to pair with Tirico.

Blocked by paywall. Anyone have the full article?
Only been able to find bits, not a full copy yet.

Some other bits though:

...according to multiple sources in the meeting, Meyer said: "I hate scouts. Scouts are lazy." It was an especially jarring comment given that scouts were also in the room.

...After the season opener, Meyer had confidently told his team he had never lost two in a row. But after the Cincinnati loss, one source said Meyer looked "shellshocked" in the locker room.

...Multiple sources said Meyer went from position group to position group telling players that the woman in the video tried to lure him onto the dance floor despite Meyer's refusal.

...Meyer, who still had four years left on his contract, seemed to blame his behavior on losing. It "eats away at your soul," he told Dakich and said he "went through that whole depression thing to where I'd stare at the ceilings."

Remember, if the Falcons don't have it done by 4pm EST, they owe Matt that roster bonus. 7.5M reasons why the deal should be done soon.

I feel bad for guys that pour that much time into a franchise just to get traded away in their final season or two.

I mean, the guy's socked away 9 figures, so I don't feel that bad, but still.

Assuming the Colts are taking on all contract obligations, they will have Ryan for two years, $51.75M cash due. $23.75M in 2022, $28M in 2023.

The Falcons will carry an almost $40M dead cap hit.

Good trade for the Colts, 3rd round pick for a veteran QB at aprox $25M per year with no dead cap obligations. That would put them around 15th for annual QB salary obligations.

Going through Combine/FA/Draft season without a GM is incredible. Long term, it might even be worse than going into the regular season without a QB.

For the price of a single 3rd round pick the Colts jumped from 35/1 Super Bowl odds to 25/1.

Not too shabby.

I guess we'll find out if Ryan has anything left in the tank. Indy has a good OL and a decent scheme, so there won't be the same excuses for his decline in ATL.

Seattle and Atlanta are not in on Baker. Leaves Panthers and I find it unlikely they make that move after the Sam Darnold move last year.

Puts Cleveland in an interesting spot. Baker is on his 5th year option. It's $18.9M fully guaranteed. Cleveland has to pay him that full amount if they can't unload him. They have zero leverage in trying to deal him.

Cleveland may keep Baker for a year so they have a QB while their dream child is on suspension

However if you believe reports, Mayfield won't play another snap for Cleveland ever again. Same declaration Watson had made for the Texans (ironic).

$65M in cash they will pay out to Watson and Mayfield in 2022 and they could both end up not playing a down.
