Some of us have been trying to nicely point that out, while waiting for someone to lay-the-hammer-down.

KC is the rumor I’ve been hearing.

Also Buffalo. I kind of see the 2022/2023 Bills as a version of the 2021 Rams in that they are loaded with talent, and are aggressive with acquisitions and signings, trying to get to and win a Super Bowl right now.

Not sure how their roster and salary cap will be situated in 2024 and 2025 but if the Bills don't at least get to a Super Bowl, it will be viewed as a disappointment ... maybe, even a failure.

EDIT:
I just checked Spotrac and Over-the-Cap. The 2023 Bills are tight against the cap right now, as are the Rams. However, unlike the Rams, Buffalo is projected to be well Over the cap to start the 2024 off-season. Very early; and lots of room for manipulation but things could get tougher for the Bills after this season.

So what’s everybody’s take on Tiyon Evans? A thicker, tougher runner for a change.

If he's an improvement over Malcolm Brown, then he'll be just fine.

If Allen stops trying to be the tough guy hero and Diggs quits pouting and contributes more consistently (especially during playoffs) they have as good s chance as any team to win a SB in the next 2 years.

If he can show dependable vision and grind out the tough yards there's probably a role for him in this offense backing up Akers. Because we're gonna need that bellcow element covered on the depth chart.

But if the other Evans shows he can do both then Tiyon might have a hard time making the roster. Because that 4th job might not be there due to needing a returner element. So if say one of the WRs win that role that 4th RB job might be the one that suffers for it and they keep an additional wideout.

Either way if I'm a depth RB this year my ass is out there catching punts and at least trying to show some flexibility in that role.

NFL Fans Are Convinced Raiders Will Cut Jimmy Garoppolo​

The NFL conspiracy theorists are out in full force on Sunday. The latest rumor? The Raiders will cut Jimmy Garoppolo before the season even begins. But there's more to it than meets the eye.

Garoppolo, the former San Francisco 49er, reportedly failed his physical with the Raiders all the way back in March. Las Vegas, as a result, apparently has the option to cut Jimmy G if he doesn't pass a physical before the start of the 2023 season.

Tom Brady tops list of Raiders QB options if Jimmy Garoppolo gets cut due to his foot injury

Tom Brady tops list of Raiders QB options if Jimmy Garoppolo gets cut due to his foot injury​

The Las Vegas Raiders might want to start putting together a handy list of all the available quarterbacks out there, because there seems to be a chance that they might need to add a QB before the start of the season.

Their current starting quarterback is Jimmy Garoppolo, but there's no guarantee he's going to be ready to play in 2023. When Garoppolo signed with the team in March, he technically failed his physical due to an injured left foot, but the Raiders gave him an injury waiver and signed him anyway.

As noted by PFT, the two sides added an addendum to Garoppolo's contract that allows the Raiders to cut him at NO COST if he can't pass a physical. On the other hand, if he does pass a physical, Garoppolo will still need to play in at least one game without re-injuring his foot before the rest of his $22.5 million salary for 2023 becomes guaranteed.

Garoppolo, who underwent surgery in March, originally injured the foot while playing for the 49ers in Week 15 (Dec. 4) last season and almost six months later, the injury is still lingering.

Garoppolo's injury isn't a huge issue for the Raiders right now, but if we get to late July or early August and he's still not on the field, then it becomes a problem. If the Raiders have to look into adding another QB, there aren't many options in free agency, but there is ONE GUY.

Here's a short list of QB options the Raiders could look starting with Tom Brady:
  • Tom Brady. The seven-time Super Bowl winner is in the process of buying a piece of the Raiders, which could actually complicate things if he wants to return to the NFL. If Brady becomes an owner, he'd need the other owners to unanimously approve him as a player before he could suit up. Also, there has been a report that the owners might include a stipulation in Brady's purchase that would forbid him from playing as long as he owned a stake in the the team. This essentially means that if Brady gets approved as a part owner, it will become very difficult for him to play for the Raiders. However, he hasn't been approved yet and he could simply drop out of the purchase if he was serious about playing another season. Also, let's not forget that Brady actually WANTED to play for the Raiders at one point. Back in 2020, Brady to Vegas was apparently a done deal, but then Jon Gruden decided at the last second that he didn't want to go through with adding Brady.
  • Carson Wentz. If the Raiders can't land Brady, they could turn to Carson Wentz. The former Eagles QB hasn't been great over the past few years, but if you're in the month of August with no quarterback, he becomes an enticing option. However, the Raiders could shy away from Wentz because, like Garoppolo, he has a long history of injuries, including last season when he missed multiple games due to a broken finger. If Wentz plays in 2023, he'll be on his fourth team in four years.
  • Matt Ryan. The former NFL MVP is now working with us here at CBS Sports and although he's not retired, the Raiders would probably have to make an extremely generous contract offer to lure him back to the NFL.
  • Teddy Bridgewater. The former first-round pick has already spent one season in the AFC West (2021 with Denver) and he'd likely jump at the chance to do it again if the Raiders came calling.
  • Make a trade. If the Raiders can't find a QB they like in free agency, they could look to make a trade for one. The Panthers might be willing to part ways with Andy Dalton once Bryce Young officially wins the starting job. Also, the Raiders could call the Commodes about possibly making a deal for Jacoby Brissett, who spent his rookie season in 2016 with Raiders coach Josh McDaniels while both were in New England.
The Raiders do have three other quarterbacks on their roster right now in Brian Hoyer, Chase Garbers and rookie Aidan O'Connell, but it's highly unlikely they'd feel comfortable going into the season with one of those three guys as their starter.

The Raiders probably wouldn't start calling around for a quarterback until July and that's only if Garoppolo's foot isn't healing as fast as it should, but this will definitely be something to keep an eye on.

I think they made a mistake with Garoppolo. Regardless of whether they keep him around or not. They're gonna be QB'd by the rookie O'Connell most likely, whether it's game one or ten. At some point he'll end up getting a long look.

Also if they do that it's possible they end up quite high in the draft. I think the Broncos will be better with Asshole Face taking over. Chargers are loads better at QB. KC will be on top again. So the Raiders are gonna be in the cellar this year.

They may be one of the teams thinking about tanking. Would not surprise me, with bowlcut running the operation and under him Patriots disciples. So my guess is they wiggle out of Garoppolo's contract, start the kid, lose a ton of games, and maybe end up with a top 2 pick which will be a financial windfall or a possible QBotF.

Garoppolo will be cut by the Raiders. Then, to the surprise of everyone will sign a one year deal with the 49ers right before the first game because the 49er quarterbacks will look like shit in the preseason.

After a few games of Shanahan running Lance like a fullback Lance goes down for the season.

Jimmy GQ becomes the starting quarterback. Only to go down for the season by week 13.

In comes Purdy. Fans go wild. He flops with 4 INT's in the first playoff game as the 49ers go one and done.
