2020 NFL Off-season

I just read a crawl that a new negotiated CBA is up for approval by players association.

 

Chargers announce end of Philip Rivers era, say he'll enter free agency

 

Turns out to be a six-game suspension for Garrett.

NFL reinstates Browns' Garrett from suspension

 

I thought that was always going to be the case. Making it indefinite at the time was the NFL's way of giving itself time to see how public opinion would go. If the outrage over Garrett's behavior didn't go away, maybe they extend it. That didn't happen, so they can reinstate him now.

 

Did he get an apology Senator?

 

"A proposal to alleviate the pain of being a Bengals and Browns fan has gone up in smoke.

Being a fan of the NFL's franchises in Cincinnati and Cleveland does not meet the condition requirements to purchase medical marijuana, an Ohio medical board committee ruled Wednesday."

I have no idea where the FA QBs are headed - I do think Brady will want to take the recruiting trips just to remind the NE fans he had other options when he chose to return. Brees isn't leaving NO. But outside of that, it's a weird deal - you have a few mid-career FAs and few a year or two away from retirement - it would be a lot easier if the draft was first this year and teams could find a "mentor" type if they draft a qb - or go for a Tannehill, Bridgewater or Dalton if they plan on tanking to get a franchise type in the draft in the next year or two.

 

Going to make the last week of regular season a lot more interesting, resting the starters for a glorified bye or worry about position.

 

They just don't get it. The more you expand a playoff, the more you dilute the regular season and lessen its importance. They were the one league that seemed to grasp this concept.
