I said something big was coming. Trust me you'll know when it breaks.
Tyron Smith? Would be reminiscent of the Whitworth signing, a big name veteran presence to lock down the blind side is nice and shouldn't break the bank.

I'll add Khalil Mack's cap hit is ridiculous unless that gets mitigated with a trade (I'm not an expert in that area). Danielle Hunter is about to get PAID given what Brian Burns just got. Neither one of those options seems realistic imo.

Oooh. If we are guessing, let me throw one out there:

AD wants to retire after playing a season or two with the Steelers. He had also gone from, "absolutely I'm back" to silence and rumors with Jourden. The Steelers are low-key going for it with the acquisition of Wussel at the league minimum. So, the move is trading AD for a haul and using some of that haul to get Mack and/or Surtain/Sneed.

Don't think it's happening, don't want it to happen, but if we're just throwing ideas out there that MIGHT happen ... ;)

Would you take picks 20 and 51 for AD?
Personally? No. I would like to keep AD until he retires, and I would like his retirement date to be sometime in the 2030's.

Would Les? I still doubt it. Maybe those two picks plus next year's first? I still would hate it, but it is just interesting to try and read the tea leaves of Jourdan's comments on AD mixed with the head office's silence and Jake's "Big News Coming".

I still hate the thought of losing him at all.

I thought this as well when news broke of him wanting a trade. Seems like a very Les Snead move. But now with DWill back, idk - seems unlikely.
Good point about DWill but I just got this feeling that the Rams want a lock down corner.

Even if nothing else happens, I consider Jonah Jackson a huge move. I love a good Oline as much as I do a good DLine.

I watched one of your later shows Jake. I watch the usuals, Cowherd, Eisen, etc…. I don’t watch much else. I thought you did a good job on reviewing the signings. I liked your offensive and defensive free agency fit lists videos too. Don’t let anyone here discourage you. Keep plugging away. Your last name isn’t Simms so you have to do it the hard way.
I'll throw in Clowney to the pot too. I think he still has a big name and had a very good season last year.
‘Clowney to the pot”- Was that intentional or a Freudian slip?

Still feeling confident in this?
Big Jake.

I can appreciate how difficult it would be to sift through all of the good intel/bad intel in order to decide if a storyline is worthy of publicizing. I can also appreciate not wanting to air out details prematurely possibly upsetting sources. But with your posts on this storyline you caught some serious interest from this forum. As a result - this forum would like to request an update as to the deal you were following to let us know if it passed or if it’s still breathing (without any expectations of revealing more details ails at this time).

This big thing is happening and we should see it tomorrow. I cant say what I cant even say what kind of move it is. But it is happening tomorrow.

I hope the big thing is not the Noteboom decision. That would be pretty lame. Even a Stafford restructure is rather predictable with the amount of money they have left to spend.

But seriously I’ve been happy with our FA to this point. We needed to get bigger, better and tougher up front. I also like the re-signs.

Bottom line should be making life easier for Stafford so he can do his thing and we’ve done that.

Can you say if Donald's IG post yesterday is any indication?

Seriously, I for one believe you; and I am excited. Looking forward to the next day or two.

But, if something big does not happen, @OldSchool, @dieterbrock and @Loyal will be paying you a visit. Those are "Serious Men"; and one of them is border-line psychotic. Just to let you know.

I don't see anything from Donald's IG yesterday. What was it?

EDIT : I see what your are talking about on the 2024 NFL Thread.
