(+) Yeah! (+)

I wouldn't take the Washington job without knowing who the new GM is because this wouldn't be the first time Bruce Allen has been "relieved of duties" and wormed his way back in.

---

Well I saw one tweet yesterday that said rivera negotiations were progressing more slowly than expected so maybe he won't
---

In fairness all Allen was was Snyder's yes man to begin with. If he comes back it's because Snyder couldn't find another one.

No one in the organization wanted Haskins except for Snyder.

Many people inside of Washington thought he was a third round pick at best. The people actually paid to evaluate talent had Daniel Jones much higher than Haskins, as just one example. Snyder had no interest in even listening to his own staff about it.

I wouldn't take that job unless there were absolutely no other options.

Though yes, Allen's had some beyond awful draft classes one after the other, but it's a place where the coach and GM cannot properly do their jobs at all.

Ron Rivera deserves better than that job, and Ron Rivera himself has to know that, right?

---

Maybe he wants to continue to live in the mid-atlantic area? idk
---

Well considering he's pretty bitter about how his previous owner treated him, you'd have to think that working for dan friggin snyder would be an instant turn-off, but who knows.
---

And here's a Jerry Jones reminder:

Jerry really wanted Manziel. He was determined to pick him and let nothing get in his way, because Jerry gets what Jerry wants.

He had so much backlash in his organization, and so many people tell him how big of a mistake it would be to take Manziel, that he actually listened to his people and didn't make the bad pick.

As much flak as Jerry gets sometimes, he's absolutely a better owner than Snyder and whatever puppet of a GM he's playing with at the time.

---

Also jerry pledged throughout the season that he would let garrett finish the season and unlike many others, he actually stuck by it, so good job there even if it didn't work out. At least he didn't do the bull**** where he says he won't do a thing and then does the thing.
---

Redskins hired Rivera today.

Watch them make the playoffs next season while Carolina stupidly trades Cam and winds up tanking for Trevor after Allen commits 20 more turnovers. For the armchair critics on Facebook who claimed Kyle was the future, it'd be absolute karma.

---

Question ZSig, since iirc you are also a panthers fan, how would you feel if somehow tua fell to us in this draft? Would you take him?
---

With the injury he just got in college, Tua might be a bust, not to mention Alabama hasn't produced a successful NFL quarterback since Ken Stabler. On the other hand, getting him and having him recuperate while Cam plays might not be a bad option.

Biggest focus should be fixing our offensive line. Otherwise literally any quarterback is running for their lives behind ours.

---

I'm not convinced Tua was more than a flash in the pan that exploded for a year or so.

Combined with the injury I'd be weary of him.

And he just signed up for being fired in 2-3 years for reasons that will almost entirely not be his fault.

"Why"

Watch out guys, the Giants hired FOUR computer people today.

---

Dorsey left the Browns, so they once again are starting all over.

---

So this means Gettleman still isn't fired I guess.

I wonder many of these computer folks are relatives of Giants' employees that got pulled out of their basements.

IIRC, they said they're keeping him soooo

Marrone and Caldwell are staying. Because of course they are.

Stolen from twitter:

2017:
Shad Khan: We can't trust Caldwell and Marrone to make decisions, so I'm going to bring Tom Coughlin in to oversee things.

2020:
Shad Khan: Gotta fire Tom Coughlin. He's the real problem. Now let's give the reigns back to the people we didn't trust in 2017 who have done literally nothing sense.

Jerry said he's not in any hurry to figure out the coaching situation despite the fact that there are two other teams in the same division who are looking for new coaches.

Don't do this, Jerry.

The Bears have committed to Trubisky for 2020

Good luck Chicago fans as the franchise spends the next several years thinking he's so close to making the leap so they can't give up on him yet.

One other team. Washington hired Riverboat Ron today

---

Well yes, but he said this yesterday and the fact that they can't even interview Rivera now is dumb

Given what they traded for him it's either some bad attempt to save face, or they're still not smart enough to realize he's just not good.

The NFL has found no wrongdoing by the Patriots on the sideline filming controversy.

Damn, those "this is literally spygate and we should execute the entire Patriots staff" people, of which I saw many on the internet, and a few to a much lesser extreme of course in here must be in shambles right now.

sounds like the check cleared!

the cheating never ends

oh yeah

Cowboys have decided that Garrett will no longer be part of the organization
