Oh and also his absolutely dragging Adam Schefter.

couldn't have happened to a more deserving fanbase. Though I have seen writers speculate not to discount Roseman, he has a plan.

I would find it hilarious if BAL lost him after multiple seasons of trying to get a deal done.

Read a post from Barstool (trash) earlier today that CIN was sh-tting the bed in FA .. hours later they lock up Orlando Brown for four years. Much needed protection for Burrow.

God this sounds so on brand for the Raiders, McDaniels

Kelsey Plum went there.

The Las Vegas Aces guard had a savage response about why the Raiders traded her husband, Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller, to the Giants on Tuesday.

The surprise move drew some criticisms on Twitter, with former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III writing: “Darren Waller JUST GOT MARRIED to Kelsey Plum of the Las Vegas Aces and Josh McDaniels’ wedding present was to trade him to the New York Giants. McDaniels is NOT a romantic.”

Plum – who tied the knot with Waller on March 4 in Las Vegas — responded to Griffin and made a witty joke (or a slight jab) about the Raiders’ head coach.

“Prolly cause he wasn’t invited to the wedding lol,” Plum wrote.


Plum then took to her Instagram Stories and shared a screen grab of Griffin’s tweet over a photo of her and Waller on their wedding day.

“Actually couldn’t be better, we’re so excited, NY let’s get it,” the All-Star guard wrote, adding a blue heart emoji.

Plum’s tweet came just a few hours after The Athletic reported that McDaniels accidentally leaked the news of the couple’s wedding earlier this month to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

The outlet also reported that Waller was upset with McDaniels when the Las Vegas Review-Journal posted a story announcing his and Plum’s wedding date days before their nuptials.

Waller and Plum — who’ve reportedly been dating since last year — had not publicly shared their plans to get married.

Prior to the trade, McDaniels said the 30-year-old Waller “will be a big part of what we’re going to do going forward.”

However, the Raiders were shopping Waller for more than a year, according to NFL Network.

Plum — an All-Star guard who helped the Aces win their first WNBA title last season — is preparing for the 2023 campaign, which begins in May.

The Giants sent a third-round draft pick (No. 100 overall) to the Raiders for Waller.

He is under contract with the Giants for the next four seasons after signing a three-year, $51 million extension with the Raiders in September.

Four years, $25 million. If your kid wants to play football, tell him not to be a running back.

They can wait & see if NYJ cave to their comp demands.

Cincinnati unloaded some defense but the offense should be better, although they also lost Hayden Hurst.

yes I am aware of that, which my point is it's silly to keep putting set times on this. It happens when it happens.. which is GB's timeline, when they're asking price is met.*

I’m a little surprised trade terms weren’t hashed out before the Jets brass even met with Rodgers.

Right?! One would think it would have been. Joe Douglas is a pretty good GM and I don't think he'd leave much to chance so that kinda tells me it's GB that's the hold up.

Maybe they have increased the asking price, that's what i would do if i was the gm for Green Bay.

The fact that the Jets already started on Rodgers shopping list without actually getting him yet shows how wet under the ear they are with this stuff. What's to keep the Packers from asking for their next 4 years worth of first round picks, what are the Jets at this point going to say, no?

The "wish list" thing was debunked yesterday by Rodgers himself, so it wasn't even a thing. They were targeting Lazard anyway since he is a big bodied WR that knows Hackett's system, can block like a MFer and is a good red zone target.

GB cant go totally crazy either cause they cant get stuck with rogers $60m if NYJ do find something else to do.

It was a thing.
He said that schefty/russini called it a "demand list" but they never called it that.
Its just a list of players he would like for them to try & get & it has other names on it too.

I guess we agree to disagree then. For all we know, the "report" on the supposed list could have come from Hackett and guys that he has coached, knew his offense and would work well within it. Anyway, he said said that when they asked him about Lazard, he was effusive in his praise and added "...why wouldn't I be, the dude is awesome" or something along those lines:

"From what I've seen, it's like I had a sheet of paper when I met with the Jets, and I said, sign these people," Rodgers said. "And that's not the reality. So ridiculous.

"It's so stupid to think that I would do that number one. Now, did they ask about certain guys I've played with over the years? Of course. Did I talk glowingly about teammates that I love? Yeah. Why wouldn't you?"

And then he painted a ridiculous picture of him in "ceremonial regalia" handing over a piece of "hand-written" parchment with a list.

He compared the conversation to any team trying to get intel on players.

"I think objectively, a lot of people can look at Allen Lazard and go he's a really good player. We would love to have him on our team," Rodgers said. "And then anybody with a brain would maybe call me on any team and go, 'Hey, what kind of a locker room guy is Allen Lazard? What's his work ethic like? And I'd say he's a f**king great dude. Anybody would be lucky to have him in the locker room."
