Texans out on Caserio in exchange for the Patriots dropping the Tampering allegations.

New England goes absolutely ham to keep Caserio in house despite Billy B basically being their GM. Makes you wonder.

Caserio as a clause in his contract that he's not allowed to interview for other teams.

His contract is over in 2020 though (so end of this season). Going to assume he's a hot commodity next year, unless the Patriots somehow extend his contract. (I somehow doubt he wants to though given how this Texans thing went and how long there was indecision, despite the fact he has that clause. I'm thinking he hoped the clause wouldn't be invoked or wasn't as ironclad as the Patriots felt.)

Training camp report dates

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Fun random training camp tidbit but I went to college at the Bears' old training camp site when they used to cross north of the border for training camp.


Also on Tyreek Hill, he's going to be meeting with the NFL this week. But the assumption is he'll be back with the Chiefs in time for training camp, which would mean he's not banned for the entire season.

AAF being part of this thread title is a hilarious timestamp.

No idea what you are talking about...

Ugh that's even worse.

[Crissi]

oh god, who let the madman be in charge of title changes?

[eschatological]

Man, I'm hoping the XFL flops even harder than the AAF. I actually wanted the AAF to succeed.


Just thinking about Vince McMahon makes me ill.

[Northern Goblin]

I just tasted a bit of vomit in my mouth.

This feels wrong.

There seems to be a consensus that nobody wants filthy XFL polluting the NFL thread.

Then let's vaccinate ourselves with NFL injuries!

Bengals first round tackle Jonah Williams is expected to miss the 2019 season following shoulder surgery.

I remember being absolutely terrified the Packers would take him at 12, glad the Bengals stole him.

Man, you guys used to have a sense of humour. What happened?

Might as well put a joke about national anthem kneeling if XFL is your humor.

Man, you guys used to have a sense of humour. What happened?

I thought we were joking. I'm all for more football, even if it won't be quite as good.

But ugh, McMahon.

[draynay]

The XFL was good for a laugh back when it was just a trashy failure, but now that its setting itself up to be the Make Football Great Again league... I see no humor.

Marquise Goodwin won the "40 Yards of Gold" $1 million tournament as fastest player in the league.

Ted Ginn Jr., who had inspired the competition with his boast that he would race anyone for $10k, was a no-show to the event he was supposed to headline. Alvin Kamara stuck to his pledge to attend even if he never stood a chance at winning.

I'm still confused about the prize money for this. I've heard that it goes to charity and that it's just straight into the player's pockets, both, and it can obviously only be one. Would significantly alter how I feel about this thing.
