Why? Boldin was a UFA signing, him leaving fulfills the imbalance.

No it doesn't. It's all about when a player signed. Something about the Free Agency window. Any player added after a certain date doesn't count.

I'd sign Stevie and hope there's a decent WR that gets cut before teams have to get down to 53 players.

They need a deep threat

RIP Jerry Lewis: I used to blow railroads of coke with that man. He was a vacuum cleaner. One weekend after a binge at the McAllister Hotel in Miami, he inhaled almost an entire eight ball by himself, and wound up eating the entire buffet by himself.

They tried to have it both ways with acquiring picks and maintaining talent. McDermott said at the podium the day after sammy left that it would be a hard sell to the team, and he was right. Morale on that team must suck. I'm sure they saw themselves as a bubble playoff team, now with tyrod looking like garbage without sammy, the team has probably packed it in. Mathews is gonna try to play the first game and tyrod is gonna get him killed and then he'll be in and out of the lineup with injuries all year

Team execs did this to themselves.

Talking Kyle Williams into coming back
Signing Boldin
Then trading Watkins and Darby?

You sold two of the most respected guys in the league BS and lied to their faces. It's not a good look.

With the Cap, I think it'll be hard to trade McCoy or Dareus mid-season
Idk if teams would be able to fit them
But yeah, trade them whenever possible

- jdfitz77

Can't trade Dareus this year or next. Period.

It's a dead cap hit of 20 mil

I need advice on a potential bold move

I'm in a 4 keeper dynasty. When you draft, you're basically drafting in the 5th round. Each team can keep guys for that draft year + 3 years.

I won the league last year, can keep Beckham, Bryant, Hopkins, and Murray.

I have first pick and Bell goes back into the pool.

Do I take Bell or McCaffrey for the next 4 years? Bell is the obvious choice, McCaffrey is the future stud

Not saying it would have 100% happened but if Pegula doesn't buy the franchises, are either in Buffalo anymore? Sabres probably, but the Bills, not sure about that.

With your keepers, I think you are still in the win now window, but don't think you can go wrong with either option. If it were me, I think I'm taking Bell now and try to repeat.

Yeah I know, but he's not gonna be 100% for the first game and tyrod has a habit of throwing guys into trouble. One big hit over the middle and the dude is in big trouble

I think so too, but it is my last year with Beckham and Hopkins.

I'm trying to retool on the fly.

I think McCaffrey is going to be a stud this year and going forward.

I'm torn

IF you torn about not taking bell, who is 25 and the #1 ppg RB the last two years he played for a late 3rd/ 4th rd talent in mccaffrey you shouldn't be playing fantasy football.

I won 2 out of my 3 money leagues, and was 2nd in the 3rd league.

Bell is one failed test from a 10 game susp, and in a contract dispute. Oh and playing with a 35 yo QB who is likely to retire after this year

Nhl top 20 centers has Eichel at 14 and O'reilly not even on the list. Matthews was listed at 4, then Malkin, Crosby and at 1 McDavid.

They did say Eichel should climb to the top this year. I predict Eichel makes a push for number 3 this year. Give him speed and talent and he'll get there, his line will be...

NYLANDER (The Body) Eichel Skunk (Reinhart)


Don't let me hear anymore Joel Ward crap or Pouliot is better suited (for now). The Body is ready, loosen the reigns and let the thoroughbreds run.

I was reading Ward's stats wrong btw. I thought i was reading his stats from last year, but it was his career playoff numbers. I would still trade girgs, but i was WAY off. I thought the guy scored like 60 points last year lol.

Pouliot is better suited to the 3rd line
