Really interesting re: David mayo ....shows one that a player can really improve as a pro in the pros with the right surroundings ...and yes I was shocked that pro football focus would tout a white player like it has ...pff has long been blacked . As a giant mayo will indeed put up bigger numbers ..I reckon he is pro bowl material ..all going well ....presuming playing time and no injuries

Great to see Detroit sign amendola for another year ....he still has it ...once he is used regularly enough as an option .........and I am thinking if I was tom brady.....stay in New England ....bill will surround you with talent and one more super bowl ...then retire ....
I reckon the Titans and mike vrable will want to keep tannehill ......tannehill was just damn good last season ....shows you what confidence on top of talent with a trusting coach can do .......Titans should nail hunter Henry to a contract right now ...a Sean lee and or Schobert ...then I will become a Titan fan ..

The NFL and NFLPA agreed to a new CBA. Looks like the league will become further diluted - 1 more regular season game, 2 more playoff teams. Active rosters for gameday will increase from 46 to 48 and practice squads increase from 10 to 12 players for this year and to 14 in 2022 - so it will likely mean more jobs for magical upsiders as the practice squads have done next to nothing in terms of giving white athletes a fair opportunity. It also sounds like the NFL is letting pot use slide. No major penalties or lifetime bans for anabolic steroid use. Sounds like more of the same. The NFL will also continue to adjust the game making it easier and easier for offenses to play.
Good summary. The cutback in pro days this year and fewer pre-season games along with how bad this year's Combine was will make the league blacker than ever. The XFL's offensive lines are a preview of what the NFL will look like in a couple years. The o-line and QB remain the main battlegrounds now that Whites have been effectively purged on defense (unless they have superstar potential). Tight end is a bit of a stronghold but you can bet that won't be allowed to stand for long.
Good news -- Tannehill just re-signed by Tennessee.

Also less padded practices. More diluted mediocre defense with piss poor fundamentals.

Good to see you posting! I am not aware of any white CBs in the NFL, CFL or XFL. There are a handful of white CBs on Division 1 football teams.
white is right

Daniel Sorensen played cornerback for a few plays here and there over the last few seasons for the Chiefs, I recall that he was listed on a Sunday NBC game as a starting cornerback at the beginning of the broadcast. Also Anthony Cioffi was maybe a slot corner back in the CFL. Don't quote me on this as I haven't watched a full CFL game in years but I did notice him possibly playing that position while casually watching a game at the gym.
PS, Andrew Sendejo was listed as a slot corner by rotoworld so he is another guy who has played corner back in a pinch......https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/9655/andrew-sendejo

The Packers have signed oft injured linebacker Christian Kirksey to a two year contract for $8M a year. Kirksey played 2 games last year and 7 the year before.
And they prefer this over Blake Martinez, Joe Schobert and Nick Kwiatkoski? At least these guys were on the field, not to mention being equal or better players on the field.
2 years for $16M for a an oft injured player who only played 9 games the last two years? Black privilege.

Nice post Extra Point. I hope this signing comes back to bite the Packers. The Packers are also supposedly interested in another upsider LB as well. The new GM has purged the white talent from the organization. Schobert, Kwiatkoski and Martinez all deserve to be starters and get paid top 10 LB money.
The only team I can find linked to Kwiatkoski right now is the Broncos. Fangio is a total caste stood - Wolfe and Gostis are both FAs and likely won't be back. Fangio has also not allowed Josey Jewell to take over and command the defense in the middle. I hope Nick makes a better decision than going to play for caste clown Fangio.

Just saw the Cardinals traded David Johnson for Deandre Hopkins - this solidifies Isabella being a screwed over 4th or 5th WR on the Cardinals. Ideally he is cut and is able to find a competent team that will utilize him.
Austin Hooper to the Browns - at least Mayfield will have an upper tier TE to throw to now.
Mega bust sumo ereck flowers just got a big time pay day from Miami.

Raiders signed former-Bears LB Nick Kwiatkoski.
Kwiatkoski played 57 games for the Bears after they selected him in the fourth round of the 2016 draft. He set career-high marks in starts (8), pass deflections (4), sacks (3) and tackles (76) in 2019. It's a solid addition for the Raiders after they finished last season ranked 26th and 24th in yards per play and points per game allowed, respectively.

I like the Raiders signing of Kwiatkoski as they need LB help and the new regime started two rookies last year -- Maxx Crosby and Hunter Renfrow, who both did very well.
The Johnson-Hopkins trade is a puzzler, must be more going on there than meets the eye as Hopkins would seem to have far more value than Johnson at this point in their respective careers.
Nice payday for Hooper, ensures he'll be the starter and has a good chance to excel if Cleveland gets their act together enough to take advantage of Mayfield's talent.
Blake Jarwin also received a nice payday from the Cowboys -- 3 years, $24.25 million. That's starter's money which is good to see as he's fast and athletic. Jason Witten had an all-time great career but it's time for him to either retire or be a backup.

Rumors are that Rodent Nagy/Bozo Ryan Pace are targeting Teddy Bridgewater.
Hayden Hurst goes to the Falcons in a trade.

Rumors with the Raiders are that they are looking at two black quarterbacks (Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love) in the draft and may attempt to jettison Carr. That would put a big time dent in any interest I have in them. Hopefully they are all rumors. Gruden has never won with a rookie/young QB and has preferred veterans. But then again the offenses are so dumbed down now they could plug in one of those qbs that makes one or two reads on one half of the field - its just a matter of how simple Gruden's offense has become.
As for all of the rumors on Brady - I think he will return to New England. He's going to be 43 this season - not the ideal type of QB for most other franchises. The Bucs make no sense as they are never contenders and Arians is a blowhard. All signs point to Rivers going to the Colts.
Guys ..firstly thanks re: Infos on cornerbacks ......interesting stuff ....leonardfan just wondering if you could name a couple of the D 1 corners ..to look them up ....and white is right thanks for letting me know re : Sorensen .....I always felt he was suited to playing cornerback ....also a free safety at the bengals name Fejalem ( I think ) ......saw him in action several times really athletic guy with wheels to boot ! .....hopefully Titans will get whiter ...with vrable it's possible and in Tennessee ...yeeeeehaaaw ...
Also I am sure kwiatkoski will get some good playing time under gruden ( who isn't afraid to play white talent ) .......one question for you guys .....who is going to be the most productive QB next season ......,( all stats ) ...taysom hill ? ...

Dat upside, once he's healthy he'll reach his true potential. Gutenkunt is purging GB of its pale faces. Martinez, now Lowry and Lancaster are next. This new regime is pushing me further away from my team. I hope Packers suck next year.
Firstly ..white is right ...you are spot on with Anthony cioffi ...I have quoted you ..
....also an ex track athlete ( Rutgers) .......this guy ran down the Blackmore Ravens corners while running track .....obviously talented to have played for the raiders as a safety ...not black enough to play at corner .....I just do not understand it ...

If this happens, the bears will become the least rootable team in the league as their only white starter would be Guard Cody Whitehair. They'll probably get white TE help but if hes healthy Trey Burton will start
Also ...Bucky .....watched a wonderful documentary about the 66 packers .....Paul hornung and Jim Taylor .....Jesus Christ these guys were absolute studs ....hornung had he not been a Pro ball player ,,,he had the wheels to run elite track ......
