New #Patriots QB Cam Newton is in New England to complete his physical & finalize his 1-year, $1.75M contract that’s worth up to $7.5M. The team is confident in his condition & no issues at all are anticipated on his physical. It’ll take a few days to complete, but this is a go.

Slightly off subject, but a pet cat I'll be watching in another training camp is UDFA WR Dan Chisena.

I'm reviewing Penn State games to chart one of my 2021 draft pet cats, Tight End Pat Freiermuth, and this kid Chisena keeps flashing. Might be one of the best gunners I've seen in a while. Good size (6-3/202) and crazy fast (4.32 40). He only played two seasons of football at Penn State, coming over from the Track team. He ran the leg on the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams. In high school, he won state (Pennsylvania) titles in the 2015 PIAA Class AAA Outdoor 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100 relay...Ran a 10.52 in the 100, 21.29 in the 200 and helped the 4x100 team run a 42.01.

With as frontloaded as we are at WR (Amari Cooper Michael Gallup, & CeeDee Lamb), I would love to have a back-up WR like this to develop and play on Special Teams. If Minnesota messes around and lets this guy go, I'd be all over him on cutdown day.

the qb market reset everybody has been waiting for

 

[Doomsday]

the ersatz qb market reset

FYP

 

[Maveric]

the qb market reset everybody has been waiting for

And we thought the money numbers from Dak's camp were ridiculous now, just wait...

I thought the 10 year deal was a joke or fake tweet

Turns out it’s not

That’s fucking crazy

So far the only details I have seen is $140mil injury guarantee

Nothing else has been released that I have seen

[Scot]

$140mil injury guarantee and $450mil total

Holy shit
$45mil per year for 10 years

Ouch

Final Patrick Mahomes’ deal: 10-year extension worth up to $503 million. It includes $477 in guarantee mechanisms and the ability for Mahomes to have outs if guarantee mechanisms aren’t exercised. Mahomes was represented on the deal by
@chriscabott and @leighsteinberg

 

[Scot]

One of those mechanisms is to guarantee that his salary always equals a specific amount of the overall teams salary cap

So as the cap goes up every year

So does his salary

Brilliant move on his agents part

It sounds like the chiefs said ok Pat, what do you want?

And whatever his agent asked for they gave him

 

[icup]

so i guess they think this mahomes guy is pretty good

kamara in the video is saying look at his tape, and 1 of the games he references is to look at his dallas tape

then a bunch of trolls began showing his stats against dallas and it was not good.. people are also sharing the video of jaylon smith blowing him up in that game after a screen pass

even dallas CB jourdan lewis tweeted "Dallas??? Really?"
