Re: Around the League
 

Browns proposing allowing trades with picks up to 5 years ahead. This feels a bit like heading towards madness. How long before a team gives up their whole future draft potential to just win now. Little surprise the Rams are in support. I'd definitely be a buyer in that scenario ("sure we'll have those picks, at the rate you're going, that's a whole slew of #1 picks you're giving up"), but I would be very reticent to gamble away so much draft capital, and then be unable to plan a recovery. GM's living by the sword...

Yeah, I don't agree with this idea. A single mistake of trading away that much could cripple a team for years to come, which could make the division less fun.

The current attack against the NFL’s antitrust division can go in several different directions. Some good, some not so good. Some disastrous.

The league could potentially be ordered to stop selling game packages to cable, satellite, and/or streaming providers. The league could possibly lose its entire antitrust exemption, ending the NFL’s ability to sell broadcast rights in a block.

The end result could be chaos for the NFL. Chaos in the form of some teams earning many millions more for their home games than other teams. Chaos in the form of the end of TV revenue sharing. Chaos in the form of the implosion of the salary-cap formula.<<<<

The nfl loses their antitrust exemption, football becomes like baseball. The nfl is altered forever.

Though Dallas who likely be the top earning team; still couldn’t buy their way to a championship.

I love the idea. Didn't know there was a limit. Frankly I like the idea of 20 years in the future.

Trent Williams just signed a 2 year extension. Remarkable that he’s played at such a high level for so long. Man, how nice would it have been to have him in DC his whole career. Just awful how things ended here.

AJ Brown likely being traded to Patriots post June 1:

Re: Around the League
 

BTW, Aaron Rodgers is the biggest diva in the league. He's not gotten around to deciding whether to play next season or not, and it is being reported that he's leaving the Steelers wondering whether they'll have a starting QB up to and through the draft. That he hasn't decided by now -- 2 days before the draft -- only serves to underscore what a selfish a-hole he is. I hope the Steelers move on from him -- "Hey, sorry Aaron, but we didn't hear from you, so.... Enjoy retirement."

I will admit I thought there would be a bigger reaction here about the Dexter Lawrence trade. I am happy with the result.

The Bengals completely screwed over the other 3 NFCE teams. Absolutely atrocious decision by Cincinnati. Giants fleeced them. Chance for the Giants to add two blue-chip caliber players in the 1st 10 picks. I hope the Bengals suck this year.

It's a win for you guys for sure

WOW! Rams traded Jared Verse to Browns for Myles Garrett and draft picks.

This is definitely an interesting trade for Rams. Giving up a young rising star for a proven HOF player who only has a few years left, 1st round pick that can be easily top 10 picks, 2nd round pick, and 3rd round pick. I think Rams won the trade, assuming they draft right players with those picks. If they whiffed on all of those picks then Browns won the trade.

Rams all in on a Superbowl in their home stadium in February. And this move definitely helps. They're loaded. Good deal for CLE too -- another young foundational piece for their D and 11 draft picks next year, and 2 in round 1.
