@Jett129 the draft will be the key. I can’t make any predictions until I know who’s going to be where. Also, draft trade scenarios should be considered.

[Matt]

@Nocturama I think it’s an immediate boost but ultimately not sustainable. The sketchy team management will get in his way.

What’s the view on Rodger’s trade to the Jets…over the hill, or are we going to be winning SB LVIII next Feb? Or, more realistically, do we have a chance of a winning season, for a change…?!?

It’s the fucking Jets,what could go wrong. They have a pretty tough schedule. AFC West for starters. If the wheels don’t come off and he stays healthy,anything is possible.

Of course I hear about it on here first lmao. I'm relieved and stoked he's still with us. I just bought his jersey year and a half ago too I would've been pissed. His announcement [video](Of course I hear about it on here first lmao. I'm relieved and stoked he's still with us. I just bought his jersey year and a half ago too I would've been pissed. This video of his announcement is worth the short watch @Matt

Edit: "Jackson will become the NFL's highest-paid player, agreeing to a $260 million contract that tops the $255 million deal Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts signed on April 17"

Was hoping he'd end up in the other purple jersey(Vikings)...

[Matt]

@Oaktavia of course I watched it.

They have OBJ,and they just drafted a wide receiver. Maybe now someone will get open and he won’t have to take off and run so often,which should definitely contribute to his longevity.

@Jett129 alas

@Oaktavia i gave myself a no current players jerseys rule a few years back, ordered a Khalil Mack jersey, had it shipped to my us address and before i went to get it he was traded to the bears.
anyone want a brand new never out of the bag Khalil Mack jersey?

[Oaktavia]

One of my former students, Jordan Addison, just got drafted to the Vikings last night. Pretty wild...I remember when he was in one of my art classes years ago. I feel old now but in a good way.

[Oaktavia]

Here he is in our local newspaper.

Cool story @Oaktavia !

Did he wear that jacket and glasses to school?

Haha that pink suit was something else. He was actually a pretty quiet kid, kept to himself.

Probably true for a lot of us.

Not me...I was a total shitass in school, was always getting myself into trouble. Nowadays, though, I'm cautious to a fault. Drives my wife crazy lmao.

…might be a good thread topic. Quiet and reserved vs. careless and fancy free. How we’ve changed or have we….
