This was just published 36 minutes ago, so I figured it deserved its’ own thread.

They can want all they want. Ben gets his choice, and there’s far better options than a team that isn’t even sure what it’s name is.

Falcons would be a desirable spot with Kyle Pitts, Bijan Robinson, and Drake London–just need a QB.

Chargers have a QB and plenty of talent. They might be the best available job.

Seahawks aren’t mentioned in the article, but that’s been a historically good franchise and the Allen family has money to burn.

Washington is a solid landing spot. They don’t have a lot of bad contracts and they have a good amount of draft capital, not to mention the #2 pick. He would be able to hand pick his QB to build around in a very good QB class. They also have a solid WR set to build off of with a young QB.

I think the Commanders is a great opportunity for him. They just hired a solid personnel guy, they will get one of the top QB’s in the draft and there is no pressure to win “now”. It would give him time to come into his own as a HC.

And they have a couple of extra draft picks to build on from the Young and Sweat trades.

NSFW BUT FUNNY

So to me this is such a huge statement…not many to go around and getting and developing a great one is not easy or predictable

I think it’s amongst the best opportunities. Lynch gave Kyle a lot of rope and I imagine Peters learned patience from that experience.

Rumors floating Belichick ends up with the Falcons.

Dianna Roussini said that Arthur Blank was of the mindset of going big here so that would fit the bill.

Hoodie plus Cousins in that situation is probably a 10-11 win team. Their schedule is going to be tougher next year.

I thought they should’ve moved to ‘continentals’ based on the continental army from the revolutionary war and would make sense considering washington was the commander.

  • No 2 pick
  • Extra 2nd
  • Extra 3rd
  • $75m cap space (no 1 in the league)
  • Snyder gone

Washington is maybe the best vacancy out there.

They should change their name every year, till they figure it out.

Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Great Falls, etc. Some of the nicest suburbs in the country are outside of DC.
