maybe but the fact that he has to begin on the practice squad gives a pretty strong signal

this is the first/only year teams can add longtime veterans to the practice squad, so it's smart not to use a roster spot if you want him to have more than like two practices before he starts.

or if he does suck they can just cut him.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.

The second Chargers/Chiefs game should hopefully be a good one!

And going 0/8 in Third downs on the last game as well. Must have been near perfect a couple of games back!

Xavien Howard has probably a single season worth of "elite" games all together since 2017, in among a bunch of missed games and games where he's recovering from a knee injury and/or knee surgery.

How much is 3-4 quality games a season worth? How long is his knee going to hold up and allow him to give you those games?

I mean, the Dolphins did give him a 5 year contract with guaranteed money into 2023.

I don't think it's a bad signing, I just think the best case scenario is that dez ends up being what alshon jeffrey is at this point in his career, a dude who can reliably soak up a bunch of contested catches underneath and not much else

Unfortunately, most non-QB players age like bread. Yeah Dez may only be 31, but, hell, just look at AJ Green.
During the XFL's first iteration in 2001, a non-QB player was interviewed mid-game on the sidelines (might have been the season opener). I don't remember why the interviewer said it, but he tells the player "you're only 27". The player responds with "you've never played football for a living, have you".

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
The Ravens signing Dez feels like the Pats signing Steven Jackson in 2015.

17.5mm cap hit if you trade him makes me think you're not moving him unless you're seeing a 1+3. Miami's love affair with the 2021 and 2022 drafts might prove their undoing, unless they can pull a rabbit out of the hat ala Jackson and Kindley

by DVOA its the nfc west, all 4 teams are in the top 11.


Think it's really close, but i'd lean NFC west too. I think Steelers and Ravens are better than the Seahawks & Rams, but the browns & bengals are clearly worse than the 49ers and cardinals.

At -43.9% they rank 11th. Here is the top 10

e: that 2005 49ers offense was coached by none other than mike mccarthy and had a total of 3587 yard of offense. Their average drive was 4.5 plays and lasted 2 minutes.

How were the 2-14 2009 matt Stafford lions worse than the first 0-16 team in the 2008 lions?

Opponent adjustments. If memory serves the lions played a pretty hard schedule that 0-16 year.

And Matt LaFleur got hired after coordinating the 23rd-ranked 2018 Titans offense (-5.8% DVOA) 🙃

That said I don't think that's actually the worst offense of all time, it just happens to be the worst on that list of 10 worst total DVOA teams. I'm pretty sure there have been some teams with worse than -40.4%; 2018 Arizona had -41.8%.

edit: here we go, the '05 49ers are 4th worst all-time. Arizona 2018, Seattle 1992, and Houston 2002 were worse. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2020/historical-dvoa-estimates-revisited

Yeah the full list of worst/best offense/defense/st/teams is here on football outsiders and doesn't require a subscription. The worst offense is the 2002 expansion texans.

If we only consider modern era teams then this year's Jets are in the top 10!
