Looks like the Chiefs are also trying to handle the salary cap problem downstream of drafting a wunderkind QB.

 

Only part of the story.  It's the consequence even more of 4 straight trips to the AFC championship game, along with of course a SB loss and win as part of it.  That means EVERYONE wants to get paid.  Hill just passed both Adams for average salary, and may have been smart in going for 4 years.  He'll be 32 when this contract expires;  he may well get another $$$$$ contract for, say, 3, maybe 4 years.  

 

Chiefs are about to get hammered the same way the Seahawks did a few years ago.

As PFT noted, this could be an interesting press conference to watch.  

 

And, yeah, the Haslems are being pretty much gutless here.  But hey, it's hard to believe anyone's opinion of em will get lowered by this......

The NFL enacted diversity measures Monday, including a requirement that each team have a minority assistant coach in a significant role on its offensive staff.

 

The new minority offensive assistant requirement comes as part of an initiative that will be partially funded by the league. The coach must have at least three years of college or pro coaching experience and must work closely with the head coach and offensive coordinator.

NFL Live is discussing this;  replay's on right now.  Marcus Spears' point:  it won't make any real difference as long as the owners are locked into not doing it.  It's going to be more lip service and nothing more.  History shows he's very likely correct.

Still alleged, we have to remember, but none of us are all that surprised, are we?  Plus more investigations into workplace misconduct.  I'd say it's still unlikely, but the specter of a forced sale is taking shape.

 

In other news today, 2 more coaches have joined the Flores case, along with more of what looks to be very strong evidence.  It may not hold up, sure, but taken prima facie only, it's pretty damning.

Can you even Imagine if Shaq had played football? Who could cover him? I am thinking Tight End the "normal" place for a B-ball player....

 

He could have been a specialist in blocking field goals and extra points.

 

That'd have to radically alter any opposing team's game plan.

Spoiler: It's the heir to the Walmart fortune. :sick:

 

Report: New favorite emerges to purchase Denver Broncos at record-setting price

 

Technically?  It's *one of* the Walton heirs, and in fact, the story's get some details wrong.  It's not Robert, it's Robson.  Sam, the founder, had 3 kids...there's Alice and JIm.  Who are each worth *more* than their older sibling.  Yeah...the trio is worth about $200B combined.  

 

Downside?  Walton is 77.  Setting aside the political angles...that's relatively old.  How long will it be before the franchise is right back in this position?

 

Flip side:  if the offer is $4B, that in itself highlights the major bar to entry for finding minority owners.
