Dez Bryant joins the Saints. Hopefully a good addition and not disruption.

Three scores in about 26 seconds of game time to open the Steelers destruction of Syferus' beloved Cam and the panthers. Mad.

Juju is a bit special for such a young receiver.

Cam is and always will be a flake.

That didn't last long.

Cardinals were making a game of it against the Chiefs into the 4th quarter. Chiefs have pulled away now.

Carmen Stateside

What can the Browns do to screw this one up? They have looked good

Capt Pat

Browns should be safe.

Patriots are suffering a walloping in Tennessee.

Now to Brandon Marshall. Get him wrapped in bubble wrap

So Le'Veon Bell will miss the entire season after failing to report and sign tender, you would wonder what advice he is getting.

Perfect advice. Only need to look at Ronald Darby with the Eagles to see the risks associated with non-guaranteed contracts.

You are the I think the only one I have seen that agrees with his stance, he was guaranteed $14.5m this year if he signed the tender. He will not earn a penny this year. Explain that one..........

He also turned down $33m guaranteed in the summer

I don't think he's entitled to FA next year either.

No he can hit free agency in March, a year older and down $14.5m

How does that work with the transition tag though?

Yeah or get the 15 million a year guaranteed that he is entitled to. The Steelers low balled him and he has called their bluff. Can't wait for Conner to mess up in Foxborough.

gallsman

Why would you enjoy Conner experiencing something of a downfall? He's been brilliant and gets paid relative peanuts.
