That nickname may stick!

Milkshake night for the LombardoDudes! 🐄

I’m always inclined to give an added edge to Andy Reid disciples. Nagy’s also really well regarded inside league circles. Feels like as close to an ideal hire to develop Dart as they could have made.

The pass rusher market is going to *explode* in free agency

A name I keep hearing from teams, who’s flying a bit under the radar, is Arnold Ebiketie. Several teams expected to be involved, and there’s a strong belief in league circles that he’s an 8-10 sack per year guy who was underused in Atlanta

And folks wonder why the Lions can’t build a defense …

Firing Kristi Noem is the closest thing to an admission that this administration pushed the envelope too far in places like Minnesota, and proof that the Cardinal sin in TrumpLand is being dogwalked by Congress, on national television …

I think a lot of that, and really how big any of their swings will be, hinges on what the cap landscape looks like after a Linderbaum deal, which I think is tippity top priority.

I feel like if I were an NFL player and found out some rival team listed me as a “stick figure,” that would be all the motivation I’d need to try to kick their ass whenever they were on the schedule.

That one would irk me

Initial thoughts on Buffalo Bills’ blockbuster trade for DJ Moore. #NFL #BillsMafia #Bills YouTube video by Matt Lombardo

Quick thoughts and initial reaction to the Bills dropping DJ Moore into Josh Allen’s supporting cast after blockbuster trade with the Bears. youtube.com/shorts/orUBN...

The one thing this trade does for the Bears is not just clear the way for Luther Burden and Rome Odunze to take on expanded roles around Caleb Williams, but Chicago now has major cap space to fill some glaring needs, not the least of which at center following Drew Dalman’s retirement …

NEW: We filed a motion to prevent the Department of Justice from accessing New Jersey voters' personal data.

Yup.

And also, Luther Burden, Colston Loveland, and Rome Odunze are all rising and all cheap.

10,000%.

And Rome Odunze. And cap space.

From an NFL Scout to me, just now on the Moore trade: “Really good move for the Bills. I don’t know why Chicago would let him go, but he’s young and has a lot of talent.”
