I'm not sure what Houston is doing, however I'm not sure who got the better deal...Seattle or Miami.

What I mean is...Miami now has to actually draft players that don't suck...they haven't been too successful at that, except perhaps Tunsil...and he's now gone. If you guys hit on all three picks, it'll be worth it though...and it'd be the better trade if that happened.

Seahawks, on the other hand gave up pretty much nothing in return for Clowney. We got rid of Frank Clark and turned that trade into 12 picks instead of 4, and we netted a pretty good draft this year. Lastly, if we don't sign Clowney after this year, we get that 3rd round pick back as a comp pick. I love our GM, Schneider...the man is a wizard!

Well in the next 2 drafts, Miami has four 1st, four 2nd, two 3rd with another potential 3rd comp pick. So I like their chances on hitting some studs. Lol

Miami is going all in on tanking and Houston desperately needed someone to protect Deshawn Watson.

Miami gets a bunch of draft picks and Houston gets one of the best left tackles in the league and a receiver who is mostly a distraction with his social justice stuff. I think Miami is ecstatic about ridding themselves of Stills.... they probably made Houston take him if they wanted Tunsil.

Miami will be horrible and Watson will finally have some protection so they both got what they were after.

And Josh Rosen is going to be two-for-two. Two years, two teams - both picking a QB at #1 with him sitting there.

Tunsil is by no means one of the best tackles in the nfl. He’s never been graded better than average and never made the pro bowl. He is above average in pass blocking. Below average in run blocking. Obviously he’s young and could still improve, but damn, Houston WAY overpaid.

Think of it this way, Miami got franchise qb compensation for a left tackle. Stills was just a throw away. He was out of Miami next year anyway. Two first round picks and a 2nd.

I do feel bad for Rosen.

in this particular cases, it's all hype. Yeah she made a 50 yarder, but she was taking a 5 step run to the ball, which is way too long for the NFL where they are using a 3 step approach Max.

Could a female kick in the NFL, Yes, but not Carli. She's old, and committed to the National Team next year.

If finding a Soccer Player to kick Field Goals was easy, there would be Tons of Male Soccer Players doing it.

and they only have to pay $8Mil of Clowney's Salary. Great Move by Seattle, horrible move by Houston!

I think Antonio Brown is done in the NFL. Can’t imagine any other team wanting to sign him, and I think the raiders are going to suspend him. To save some of that money

And it's official he's suspended.

Likely his contract is ended and the guaranteed money revoked. Teams will sign him, however not with a massive contract like what he had. The question becomes will he sign for a team for far less money and likely guarantees he shows up, etc. That means walking back to the league with the tail between the legs...and I'm not sure he'd do that.
