It is a reasonable deal. Team friendly and a nice bonus for Bate. A win-win.

We might not agree, but I understand what you're saying. I just think he'll eventually pull one out. I'd hate to think that a guy with so much talent would never at least be in a Super Bowl game. Granted, he has his flaws. They all do. But this coming year might actually be his best opportunity yet to reach the big game because of all the talent around him. Time will tell.

Really glad to hear this. Locking him up while he's entering his peak years is the smart move. He's been a good team player too.

Well the comparison is interesting but it's premature. Look how long it took Elway win a Super Bowl. Jackson is only just beginning the middle part of his career.

Well I really don't know who Harden is. Had to look him up. But, he appears to be an exceptional basketball shooting guard. Is that what you meant or did I miss your meaning?

I don't have Snapchat or other social media stuff either. Can you cut and paste what he said?

And swing passes and screens.

Good stuff so far.

He can be used in situations where he is gonna be the guy with the ball until he learns better blocking. It took Hill some time to learn it too. Although, to be honest, I'm not sure that Keaton has enough bulk to stop a blitzer.

That sounds like a smart move.

Yep...Mitchell is reported to be moving fast and cutting sharply, as he did when he was a rookie. He was a sensation back then, averaging over 8 yards per carry! He'd be a terrific change of pace back to supplement Henry and Justice. I just hope he can stay healthy. He had moves like I haven't seen since Gayle Sayers.

Maybe they're reluctant to send both out in patterns, preferring to hold one in to pass block or be a safety valve. Just a guess.

He has the right attitude and ability. He just needs more opportunities. If he can stay healthy I think this is his year. Ideally he should get an extension before the season starts. Then he has to stay healthy.

I think we get Kolar cheaply too. Likely is the key guy to keep. Andrews has been a classy guy. I hope, and think we will, treat him that way whether he's here or elsewhere.

If they might want him for the upcoming season and think we'll let him play out his contract here, why not trade now?

Yeah, I think they keep Likely. Not sure about Kolar. There might still be time to trade Andrews but I think they'll let him play out his contract here as you suggested.

We have a plethora of riches at tight end: Andrews, Likely, and Kolar. All in the last year of their contracts. We can't afford them all so who do we keep and who do we trade? Take your best shot.

It's a really stupid idea just from the point of view of potential injury. Shoot, Ar'Darius tore his achilles while conditioning last week.

I don't have a good feeling about this. I like the current idea where winning the division has meaning. And, I don't like it that if team A has beaten team B that the latter could be seeded above the former.

Well that would be good if we get Urban back. Still not so sure about Jenkins.

Um, 35 years old...is he just there to take up space? I don't know a thing about him...And why didn't we re-sign Brent Urban?

I'm looking at it as a 12-5 schedule but that is as of now. I want to see what we've got in camp and pre-season before going all-in.

It has the makings of an exciting schedule...and there aren't any gifts in that list.

I have faith in Pagano...as long as nobody else in the secondary gets a long term injury (gulp!).

Yeah I do think it puts too much strain on the players and it is not really necessary. TV is what sells the $$$.
