More fodder to strengthen my belief that Kaepernick will never throw another pass in the NFL. When a team in need of quarterback help brings in some stumblebum off the street who hadn’t thrown a pass in anger for almost half a decade over Kaep, that tells me he needs to give up football and start a new career, either in activism or politics. Kaep is the ultimate pariah no team will touch.

NFL News
- The Vikings are currently debating on whether to pursue Kirk Cousins or not given that his salary demands will be $30 million a season. They have denied that they offered Cousins a 3 year $90+ million dollar offer. The team is debating giving Cousins that type of deal as they have numerous free agents like Stephen Diggs who will command pay raises in a season or two.
- The Pittsburgh Steelers have franchised tagged Le'Von Bell again and its expected to be a show down til a deal is done. Bell does not want to be tagged again and pushed that a deal be made.
- The Chicago Bears decided to transition tag Kyle Fuller (CB). The Bears have more than $60+ million in cap room and plan to work on Fuller's deal. But this comes with a risk as teams can sign Fuller to an offer sheet and force the Bears to match it or they risk losing Fuller.
- Sammy Watkins and Allen Robinson (WR) were both informed they would not be tagged. Both men head a very weak free agent class at WR. Robinson was injured last year with a torn ACL and that will effect his value. Watkins hasn't really set the world on fire since 2015 season and hasn't passed 600 yards receiving in 2 seasons."The story so far: As usual, Ginger and I are engaged in our quest to find out what the hell is going on and save humanity from my nemesis, some bastard who is presumably responsible." - Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.

I understand Cousins is just taking advantage of the current market price for quarterbacks and whatnot, however, there is NO FREAKING WAY IN HELL he's worth $30 million a season since he has as many playoff wins under his belt as you or me. That's obscene! Originally Posted by SUPERECWFAN1

The Jets could likely pay that amount and draft a franchise QB in case Cousins doesn't work out. Originally Posted by WestPhillyPunisher

But even then I'd have an "out" within 2 seasons if it doesn't work out."The story so far: As usual, Ginger and I are engaged in our quest to find out what the hell is going on and save humanity from my nemesis, some bastard who is presumably responsible." - Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.

To be fair its only 31 Denver area Papa Johns he owned. Given that Peyton lives away from Denver I kinda expected he'd sell them at some point. As the article claims he's still gonna stay on as a spokesman and do commercials for the brand. Originally Posted by WestPhillyPunisher

Not worth that much to anyone who is not desperate. Cousins lacks intangibles that make QBs great, he just does. Decent passer as long as things are going well, but not a guy to step up and win big games. Originally Posted by SUPERECWFAN1

Robinson was injured last year with a torn ACL and that will effect his value. Watkins hasn't really set the world on fire since 2015 season and hasn't passed 600 yards receiving in 2 seasons.Every day is a gift, not a given right.

I would agree and say Carr does, too. Cousins is borderline and Stafford is terrible. Originally Posted by Gray Lensman

Sounds like retirement is more probable than not. Originally Posted by Hiromi
