Pretty fun trip down memory lane with new Commanders LB coach Ken Norton. 10 year old me thought it was real cool when he would punch the goalposts https://t.co/o4lCUBjgB8

Graziano: Salary cap situation may force #49ers to consider trading Brandon Aiyuk#FTTBhttps://t.co/1pKrfgfgiB .— 49ers Webzone (@49erswebzone) February 20, 2024
If the #49ers are really considering trading Aiyuk I have a feeling its more of a byproduct of taking the big swing on Samuel and missing and being left with a big bill there.

I’ve been saying Drake Maye won’t be an starting-caliber NFL QB. It’s time to show my work.
While he has obvious tools, Maye struggles with:
– Footwork
– Decision Making
– Accuracy / Ball Placement
– Footwork
– Off-Platform ThrowsThread of film breakdown below:
— Dynasty Zoltan (Mike Garai) (@DynastyZoltanFF) February 17, 2024
His film is littered with this. He’s late to the read, and his footwork is terrible. He falls off as he releases, causing the ball to sail high and behind the receiver – which is fortunate, actually, as he was so late to the throw, it would’ve been a pick 6 if he was accurate. pic.twitter.com/nCZevFTUcq
— Dynasty Zoltan (Mike Garai) (@DynastyZoltanFF) February 17, 2024
I keep hearing about Maye is elite off-platform. Yeah, I’ve seen the highlights. But more often, you get this – crossing his feet as he rolls to his left, relying on his arm strength rather than his core / form, and the throw goes wild. pic.twitter.com/LjtVpM7IH6
— Dynasty Zoltan (Mike Garai) (@DynastyZoltanFF) February 17, 2024
2 point conversion. Gotta have it. Oh good! The first read is wide open in the flat, easy throw! Nope, let’s force the problem and take a massive hit instead. pic.twitter.com/DumUVKDR8M

Number 54 didn’t move the entire play. I’m unbelievably confused as to how he didn’t see him. Should’ve been a pick. pic.twitter.com/iGmXq7a2fC
— Dynasty Zoltan (Mike Garai) (@DynastyZoltanFF) February 17, 2024
He has to learn how to read a defense, relearn his entire lower body mechanics and pair that with his upper body… AND somehow improve his accuracy/ball placement, which is very difficult.
He could be a good NFL QB. But it’s far from a sure thing, and I’d argue unlikely.

Here are my ratings of the top 6 QB’s in the ’24 draft that I’ve put together over the past few months of film study.
I rated them in the 9 categories you see below. To keep things as fair as I could I weighted the past 2 seasons more heavily. One key missing area is leadership pic.twitter.com/SK8jpkAOUL

Adjusted completion percentage and passer rating throwing left/middle/right (college career).
Not the greatest metrics but thought Caleb Williams over the middle/Drake Maye right side of the field stood out. pic.twitter.com/KUb6bR7clJ

: #Vikings are not willing to give Kirk Cousins a fully guaranteed contract per, @AlbertBreer
Cousins has had a fully guaranteed contract in each of his six seasons in Minnesota.

#Patriots OT Trent Brown’s contract will void today without an extension from the team, setting him up to be a free agent March 13, per source.
Team will carry a $2 million dead cap into 2024 from his previous contract.
— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) February 19, 2024
This will obviously change over the next few weeks but following today’s voids the current leader in dead money is the Titans at $31.9M. The rest of the top 5:
Chargers- $24.6M
Bucs- $21.9M
Jets- $18.3M
Giants- $17.5M— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) February 19, 2024
Ultimately the #Chargers only save $2.6M on the cap by bringing Linsley down to the minimum and letting him retire in June rather than releasing him outright. Kind of a sign of how difficult their cap situation is.
