Matt Ryan never specifically told the Falcons that he wanted to go to the Colts, but it was clear from the minute Indianapolis was raised as a possibility that he’d be good with it AlbertBreer goes inside the trade talks ↓
. And a fourth, one I hadn’t heard about until this week, is one called “continuation”—with the idea being that you just keep playing if the game is tied at the end of regulation in a sudden death format, so whoever has the ball last keeps it after the fourth quarter expires.
• The NFL’s diversity, equality and inclusion committee met on Saturday and Sunday, will again Monday and, outside of overtime, the biggest headline could be generated in that area. The league has made pretty significant progress in improving its numbers in the general manager and coordinator ranks, but continues to lag badly in head coach hiring, which promises to continue to be a point of conversation over the coming days.
And then, there’s something that’s not on the agenda that should be pretty interesting to keep an eye on …quarterback’s introductory press conference And as for the Haslams? Obviously, the comment Jimmy Haslam made about giving his daughters and wife veto power over the trade, regardless of his intention, looked like he was putting them on the hook for the transaction; and I also think that the Haslams should’ve moved heaven and earth to be on that stage in Ohio . This, for so many reasons, was a very big deal to a lot of people, and being there in person would’ve shown acknowledgment of that from the family that owns the team.
3. In a year like this, with so many big-box transactions hurtling down the pike, such patience gives older players better perspective on where the NFL will be in the fall. So it’ll be interesting to see how the Dolphins use Hill , and also whether this leads to an adjustment in how the Chiefs play. Though Marques Valdez-Scantlinga burner, both he and fellow new Chief JuJu Smith-Schuster are bigger receivers than Kansas City has had since Patrick Mahomes took the reins in 2018.
2. He’s only under contract for 2022, at $25.6 million. So absent an extension, trading for him is a for-now move, and it’s tough to make a for-now move for a quarterback who could still have lingering effects of a throwing-shoulder injury through the only year he’s signed for. I’ve heard Watson would’ve had some interest in Tampa if there was an opening there , and Wilson might have been in play, too. Which makes sense, since Tampa built its team with contracts that allowed for the championship window to remain open this year, after Brady signed his one-year extension last year.
So will this keep going? I think it will. The factors pushing the explosion of trade activity aren’t going to reverse themselves, and the expected growth of the cap in the coming years will only help facilitate blockbusters in the future. Which means … buckle up. This is probably the new normal.I don’t need to tell any of you that things haven’t slowed down even a little bit …
