They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

I do understand who Shedeur Sanders is as a QB, and he put all his positives and negatives on display.
What I don’t understand is what Cleveland seeks to accomplish with this competition: www.theringer.com/2025/08/12/n...

Where Does Shedeur Sanders Stand in the Browns’ QB Battle?
There were some good moments in the rookie’s preseason debut. But has anything changed for Sanders in the NFL’s weirdest quarterback competition?

Desperation can acquaint you with strange bedfellows. Pittsburgh needs a new identity on offense, and Aaron Rodgers needs a chance to wash the stink off of his reputation.

This partnership in Pittsburgh could be the NFL’s best redemption story. Or it could all go up in flames.

Kansas City’s defensive coordinator is a maestro when it comes to attacking opponents. He could be the not-so-secret key to Super Bowl LIX.

OSU’s 2024 defense is gonna be interesting to place in the modern era convo.
Super talented, but won’t join 2021 UGA, 2018 Clemson, 2013 FSU, 2011 Bama, 2008 USC and 2001 Miami.
I think this is as good as it’ll get in the Transfer/NIL era, though. High water mark for sure.

That was a textbook example of a dangerous offensive play from Javonte Williams.

It’s early, but that scoring drive was exactly what I had in mind for Baltimore this postseason. When it’s time to control the pace of a game and take the stress off of Lamar in the pocket, the only answer they had was Lamar as a runner.
Now they have Derrick Henry to hand out body blows, too.
