Not to mention that you can buy 5 good OL for that price, and not upset the market in your locker room.

Or 1-2 good OL, and spend the other 3 on a true difference maker at DE, where the superstar is actually a giant difference vs the fairly good guy.

OSU didn't need seaton this year. They needed Darryl Baldwin or Josh Fryar. They need a guy like that next year, and might already have em.

As much as many in the public want to to praise Cignetti and IU for their NC. What many casual fans and observers wont pay attention to, is that they have caused a massive course correction in the sport. As fun as it will be to brag about landing that 5star in the Portal or from HS. Getting the older veteran player will be cheaper and honestly be a better payoff immediately. And the number of teams who figure this out will see the benefits. Paying Seaton can cause quite a rift in a locker room, the same players who he will play with also are seeing this tweet. And the current starter at the team he chooses, im sure will have a convo with the coach about a pay bump or he too will then want to leave. That can cause a rift. The older players from smaller schools wont be so keen to rock the boat, due to not making as much, but their maturity could also quell some locker room issues as well. No thanks to guys like Seaton or any of those high cost QBs, WRs, etc

I'll be fine with two losses (provided one isn't to the cheaters) with that schedule. I'd like to see us extend the series lead over Texas (3-2) and continue to chip away at it with USC (13-10-1).

Browns and Chargers DC Jesse Minter agree to cancel today’s 2nd interview because he feels more certain to get other HC chances​

The above is a headline from the local main Browns beat reporter for the Cleveland paper/website. You have to love this organization. However, I am sure they will spin it as a positive for the organization.

Ideally, you pair a “relatively” average QB with Stefanski and use the remaining cap to build an elite O-line to run ball, and a stout defense.

The formula is simple. Of course, the Browns fucked it up.

My friend you just described the Seatle Seahawks.

1). Average to above average QB
2). GREAT running game
3). Good defense (in the case of Seattle - really, really good defense).

The people who would pay to sit there aren't interested in the game.

Ive heard the same about both.

Side note, I recently watched the MLB Network special on TG from a couple years ago and man it sure was dusty in my living room.

Noncompetes are now illegal in the US, but I’m not sure this would qualify as a noncompete.

you sure about that? They gave draft rules on it but then withdrew them... they are very much still legal... enforceable is another matter

And I’m sure he’ll be such a hard dedicated worker when he cashes that.

And then watch the teammates question it too. No thanks.

Not to get into a legal debate here, but haven’t non-competes been ruled to be unenforceable in many cases? Hasn’t it been ruled in these cases that you can’t prohibit someone from being employed in their field?

Christ, forgot about those guys. Needless to say, I think the depth on the edge is legit.
