2025 Opponents Set/Offseason Notes

[HoosierCat]

Space in the LB room seems pretty tight. If they keep 6 like last year, then 4 spots are already claimed by Wilson, Burks, Knight and Barrett. And they seem to like both Heyward and Njongmeta. I suppose you could sneak one of those guys through to the PS, but even then who does Pratt play over? Given his paycheck you can’t relegate him to teams. I think the die has been cast here.

My guess is they are attempting to trade Pratt but will dump him soon.   He's not at voluntaries, I doubt he's apart of TC.

Pratt’s over here right now sealing my driveway.

I thought it was the 14th.  Neither here nor there to be honest.
Nothing more than seeing if and when they have primetime games.
I really don't care about the rest for the most part.

This is actually pretty funny.  Drumroll please.  The league just announced they’ll now be announcing the international schedule of games on May 13th!!  Hold the fucking presses.  The rest of the schedule will be announced on the 14th.

Looking forward to the announcement that explains the announcement at the draft when Laura Rutledge and complete smoke show Colleen Wolf announced the schedule release date was just an opportunity to allow fans to save the date in their calendars.  Also, that announcement had a build up that had me thinking the NFL had cured cancer or something.  It was comical.

Jadeveon Clowney is available if anyone wants him.  Dude is still essentially getting paid for one play he made in college.  Has a cousin playing for one of the North Carolina schools named Demon Clowney.  Yes, they named him Demon.  Anyway Jadeveon has been a high level good player, probably has a few miles left on him.  Jadeveon Clowney for the win.  Alright chums, let’s do this.  LEEEEEEEEROOOYYY JENNNNKINNS!!!

I dont see any reason why Golden wouldnt just sit down with Pratt over a nice steak at the Precinct and basically tell him this is a new start and I want you to be part of it

Demon Clowney.

I don’t know why, but the first thing that popped in my head was the movie Spawn. That character is hilarious. Played by John Leguizamo.

For those keeping track:
Fairchild, Carter, Rivers (who the fuck is that) and Brooks have all been signed to their rookie contracts.

Another day, another non-update update on Trey, this time from Rapoport.

tl;dr a deal will get done eventually. Which, again, we already knew.

Because he's washed. That's why there's been no trade interest, either.

Stewart and knight both on site for rookie minicamp but not participating since they aren’t under contract yet. Taylor wouldn’t say if he thought they would be done by Monday. FO did a good job getting everyone else signed before rookie minicamp, but still would be nice if they stepped up and got these done too.

We didn’t get the Spain game.  I’m disappointed, won’t be heading over there to watch these scrub teams, Washington and Miami.   

[ArmyBengal]

Hadn’t heard anything about it yet.

Neither here nor there though.

Yes get the rookies signed now !!
