if Taylor Decker gets his wish, only 1 starter from the Lions' 2024 cavalcade of o-line ass-kickers will be back for 2026.
with minimal cap space & having traded away both the team's 3rd round picks, well, unpleasantness may ensue

DJ Moore's yards per route run as a Bear:
2023: 2.31 (13th out of 102 qualified WRs)
2024: 1.43 (57th/103)
2025: 1.21 (63rd/94)
he was, somehow, at his best with Justin Fields and Tyson Bagent as his QBs. but he's only about to be 29 years old so... yeah it might work for the Bills
for the most part. occasionally you'll get a team jump in last minute to top a trade offer or wade in without a deal in place, but then they're ceding a lot of leverage to the player in negotiations after the fact (this was a Bill O'Brien specialty)
Stefon Diggs was the NFL's fourth-most valuable WR in terms of total EPA. his importance to the Patriots & Drake Maye was worth a $26.5 million cap hit. but felony strangulation charges and the specter of an age-related decline forced the Pats to change plans

using the Belichick draft trade model, the excess value Les Snead got in last year's Rams-Falcons trade was equal to a late 1st round pick
today, Snead acquired a 25-year-old cornerback who has been an All-Pro half his seasons in the league... for a late 1st

Bengals freed from long-running nightmare of having a competent pass rusher

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room
doing what I can for US hockey by watching the Madison Capitols in their miracle on ice uniforms in honor of Bob Suter
yep, that's him alright
i always knew @espnbillc.bsky.social was a wise man
well at least now he's got an excuse not to hand out the checks we knew were never coming
anyway, go tell the people who matter how you feel about them. tomorrow isn't guaranteed
oh no. Wes covered a rival but did so with incredible effort, attention to detail and the ability to translate the idiosyncrasies of Tennessee sports in a relatable and enlightening way. if he's gone, we're all worse off
Insane levels of sportswashing and dipshittery going on here
i cannot think of a worse feeling than losing a gold medal game, then being forced to watch your rivals celebrate while Pharrell's "Happy" plays over the loudspeaker
Wisconsin hockey is gonna roll into the NCAA tournament with 4 different gold medalists on the roster:
Caroline Harvey
Kirsten Simms
Laila Edwards
Ava McNaughton
good luck, everyone else!
yelled loudly enough my daughter thought she was in trouble
man, the absolute confidence you have in your face-off to pull the goalie during a stoppage. phhheeeewwww buddy
