NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Pretty motley crew, eh?

And that's not even all of them! Does the name Johnny Manziel ring a bell? Tyrod Taylor? Clipboard Jesus?

 

BWW was talking about fans relating to their team's Quarterback play. Dont play stupid, Gid.

 

Author of one of the NFL's most indelible images as he raced toward the end zone to score on a Super Bowl XI interception, Raiders legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Willie Brown has passed away at the age of 78.

A defensive back who played 16 seasons -- four to begin his career with the Denver Broncos and the final 12 with the Raiders in Oakland -- Brown was a nine-time Pro Bowler, five-time All-Pro selection and 1984 Hall of Fame enshrine.

Remember that pick. I think that he retired after that game

 

Yeah he did hang em up he was a 3 time SB winner RIP in that game the Raiders beat Vikings in everyway it was embarrassing

 

It was so bad that the raiders stuck Blanda in to finish the game. A 45 years old back up QB & kicker

 

Another move today...



The Seahawks are getting some help at the safety position.

Quandre Diggs has been traded from Detroit to Seattle, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The trade includes Diggs and a 2021 seventh-round draft pick going to the Seahawks, with the Lions getting a 2020 fifth-round draft pick in return.

Diggs has been an important part of the Lions’ defense, playing 66 percent of their defensive snaps, the most of any safety on the roster. His departure likely means more playing time for safeties Tavon Wilson and Will Harris.

The Seahawks’ defense has struggled this season, and they likely see Diggs as a player who can step in as an immediate contributor. They need help, and Diggs should provide some.

A 2015 sixth-round draft pick, Diggs signed a three-year, $20.4 million contract to remain in Detroit last season. He’s under contract through 2021.

Ah, the Pats aren't even in the same conference as the Falcons, let alone the same division.

Do what you think is best to improve your team (long-run, in the Falcons case), and don't sweat what other teams are doing.

 

Kerryon Johnson went down and Detroit just said "Fuck it let's get rid of the Diggs contract."

 

Per, PFT...

Lions General Manager Bob Quinn has made some out-of-the-Honolulu-blue moves at the trade deadline before.

But suffice it to say yesterday’s deal that sent starting safety Quandre Diggs to the Seahawks (along with a 2021 seventh-round pick) for a 2020 fifth-rounder was not something his teammates were expecting.

Via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the deal of the popular-in-the-locker room Diggs was not received well.

“WTF,” tweeted cornerback Darius Slay, before following up with: “This some bull s— here.”

“Wowwwwwwwww no way,” defensive tackle Damon Harrison added.

Harrison came to the Lions last year in a midseason deal, so he knows things can change in a hurry, and because Quinn has a New England pedigree, players shouldn’t be surprised to find out they’re viewed as replaceable parts.

 

I still don't understand the move by, Bob Quinn. DB's are getting paid well these days and he practically gave Diggs away.

i guess. to me they don't need any help as defending SB Champs. I would've shopped Sanu elsewhere if I could?

Fletcher Cox needed a gun to fend off a attempted burglary last night. It probably wasn't Aghulor. He can't hold onto anything ! haha.

 

Best defensive play Cox has made in the last couple weeks.

 

I’m sure if Atlanta had received a better offer from another team, they would have taken it. I mean, it’s not like they said “hey, let’s do New England a favor.”

 

The Falcons were not going to get nearly as strong of a return from any other franchise.
