I was never a Sapp fan. He's annoying on and off the field.

Didn't even like him when he was a Raider

Raiders and Derek Carr agree to 5year/$125M extension, making him NFL's current highest paid player.

moving to Vegas saves him some serious cash as well.
Hope he left some cash for Mack.

Not a bad deal assuming it's an extension to the current year remaining on his current deal, making it in reality a six-year deal worth just over $126 million.

Stafford is next in line to be the highest paid player. That deal should come during this summer.

Maybe?

The Supreme Court ruled that an Asian had the right to trademark a derogatory term directed at Asians.

That has little to do with Snyder and the Redskins' rights.

I sure wouldn't call it settled by any means.

No, this case has everything to do with Snyder and the Redskins rights. They ruled that a law that bans trademarks on disparaging terms infringes on free speech and is unconstitutional. This means it's almost certain the Redskins will be able to keep the trademark to their team name, which had been deemed offensive by the trademark office in 2014. If the Supreme Court had upheld the law the Redskins could have lost the trademark on their team name and the protections that go along with it.

Ummm that's exactly what it means lol. It's pretty settled as it's the law of the land now and the trademark office has no legal leg to stand on to deny the Redskins that trademark. It's over. Snyder won.

Stafford is not as good as Carr

It's not about how good a player is, it's about leverage. Stafford is entering the final year of his deal and if the Lions franchise him after the season he'd be due $26.4 million in 2018. The Lions surely wouldn't want to cap number that high. Stafford also has leverage because unlike Carr he's already filthy rich. While Carr has made a little over $4 million in his career Stafford has made over $100 million so he's already set for life and he can afford to play out his current deal if he's not happy with the Lions offer.

Also Stafford's wife is smoking hot so there's that.

Not a bad deal for the Raiders and Carr.

We need to win one while we have Zeke and Dak on rookie deals.

[fatediesel]

Odd timing for this to happen after the draft and with the success the Chiefs have had making the playoffs in 3 of Dorsey's 4 seasons:

Ian Rapoport‏@RapSheet

A shocker: The #Chiefs and GM John Dorsey have agreed to part ways.

The Chiefs released a statement that they mutually agreed to part ways because the Chiefs wouldn't be extending Dorsey's contract past 2017. Andy Reid signed a contract extension today so maybe there was some sort of power struggle and the team chose to back Reid.

Edit: Adam Schefter says it wasn't a mutual decision and Dorsey was fired. There has to be more to this story because the timing makes no sense.
