The Lions trade D'Andre Swift to the Eagles!

To say I'm having the best Weekend is truly an understatement for sure. So we get Nolan Smith, and Jalen Carter, while also adding Ringo to the Defense and now this. Swift I thought could of been on the way out but the Lions are fools trading to the Eagles because are Offense is already dangerous and within the Eagles system he's going to be killer for us.

Someone thought it was a good idea to let AB run a team.

On the opening night of the 2023 NFL draft, one first-round maneuver may have flown under the radar a bit to the casual football fan.


However, more astute fans may have raised an eyebrow when seeing the Patriots trade back three spots with the Steelers, letting them draft the last of the four top offensive tackle prospects still sitting on the board ahead of the Jets.

Pittsburgh moved up from pick No. 17 to pick No. 14, leaping over New York at pick No. 15 to grab Georgia’s Broderick Jones.

After trading for Aaron Rodgers in the days prior to the draft, it was widely known that the Jets coveted offensive line talent to help protect their 39-year old quarterback.


“Bill will try to screw them [the Jets] over any chance he gets,” said another NFL personnel executive to the Washington Post. “He knew exactly what he was doing




Two front office NFL executives, in speaking with the Washington Post anonymously, believe the trade was done solely to prevent their hated AFC East division rival from acquiring a top-tier talent of need.

One general manager pointed out that the lack of compensation the Patriots received: "They should have had to give up a [third-round pick] and not a four to move up there."


With all the top offensive tackle prospects off the board, the Jets strengthened the opposite side of the ball, tabbing Iowa State edge rusher Will McDonald IV.

The Jets did invest in offensive line talent later in the draft, grabbing Wisconsin center Joe Tippmann in the second round as well as Pittsburgh offensive tackle Carter Warren in the fourth round.

I mean, yes it's well known that Bill hates the Jets organization for how they fucked him over years ago. But, and here me out Bill traded back with the Steelers because that's what Bill does with every damn pick. If there was ever a draft that the Patriots actually made all of their first round picks where they were originally set I'd be fucking shocked.

Dan Snyder can't go away fast enough lmfao, apparently he tried to get Andrew Luck out of retirement last year

 

[Daddy Deville]

The fact that any team got ahold of Luck is a shock in itself man still using a flip phone. In all seriousness on terms of Dan Snyder this is pretty timid thing. Also luck been retired how many years now? Also Irsay has very little room to call anyone out.
