News just leaked that NBC has signed Brees to a contract for when he retires with the Saints. Presumably to replace Collinsworth. Good get for NBC, they beat out ESPN.

"When Brees retires from the Saints, he is expected to start as a game analyst on Notre Dame football and as a studio analyst for “Football Night in America.”"
From a NY Post article that someone quoted on twitter.

CMC gettin paid https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/sta...90515140231169
The last 4 RB's since 2012 that got PAID like this were traded or cut within the first 2 years of their new contract...
We'll see how CMC works out, but, hard to imagine the Panthers staying relevant while paying their RB, WR money (even if he is a slot WR to them as well).
Would have been around $9m on the 5th year and $14m on the franchise tag, how much better would things look for the Rams if they had gone that route? Anyways, Hurney is notorious for excessive RB contracts, the Williams & Stewart deals from his previous tenure were horribly structured and impossible to escape, I figure the same will be true of this one.
/s
Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever pay a RB.
Jeez.
CMC is maybe equal to 3/4ths of a WR as well, so this is less bad than say, the Gurley contract or the contract Henry is gonna look for, but it's still a bad contract.
Thing is, CMC is like the only super star on Carolina, they are on a rebuild mode, no other guys will get paid like that so it is ok, CMC can also work as a receiver.
Tbh last year there were some games he carried Carolina all by himself, JAX game was a example, he did so much during that game.
Hmm lets watch how much Saquon will get paid lol.

That's even less of a reason to pay him. It's clear Carolina is in full rebuild. They're aiming for a high draft pick this year, then maybe bringing along a rookie QB in years 3-4 of CMC's contract. They have no window in this 4 year contract to win. You're just paying a guy to be run into the ground for the next 4 years while you hope you hit on a QB, not even this year, but next year.
And if you don't run him into the ground, and he continues to be great......you're just back to right where you were a few days ago......pay him an insane contract, or find another RB somewhere with some worth in a mid-to-late round.
Our 3rd round RB from last year was already the most productive back we've had in some years. He averaged like 5 YPC last year, and his stats would have been better if our coaches didn't insist on running Frank Gore up the middle at least 10 times a game. But mark my words, in 3 years when his contract is up, I'll be advocating to let him walk, and just draft another one. RB is so easy to find depth at, in the middle of the draft.

At this point they'd probably need someone to pass on a QB if they want to get one of the Big 3. Since the expectation is Burrow, Tua, and Herbert go to some combination of the Bengals, Dolphins, and Chargers.
Second round maybe. I know for some reason mocks are having as many as 5 guys going first round, but I think in the end it's 4 at most. Someone will probably fall to them in the second, question is if it's someone they like.

Well, I didn't even know Carolina was that far up the draft board.
7 is plausible to take a QB, but if Herbert is going before 7, idk who you'd take who wouldn't be considered a massive reach. The Chargers claim that they're fine with Tyrod at QB, but I guess that doesn't mean they won't groom one. That'd be their best bet for hoping someone passes.
