The Foles v Dalton QB competition at training camp sounds epic 

and Gronk

I love how you’re already searching for a second team, trying to find some connection now the Saints cap is starting to bite hard ?

This guy is a real exciting prospect. So looking forward to seeing him play (touch wood)

8-8 is definitely a step forward.
I know AFC north play NFC north this season, so Vikings (at Cincinati), Packers, Bears & Lions will be on the schedule.

If Burrow stays healthy, at least there’s the “franchise QB” to build around, but yeah, probably another year at least before the Bengals get seriously competitive.

Looks like the Bengals have now brought their site in line. Duke Tobin obviously talks shizzle......?
But that will mean even less likely to hang on to AJ Green and given they are trying to rebuild both O and D lines, Mystic MoodHoover foresees another season of toil.
No wonder they were nowhere to be seen in the top 19 on that odds thing that was put up the other day.

It’s been announced as 182.5, first I saw was a notification from the official  Vikings app.

One thing for sure is there’s going to be a lot of upheaval in the next week or two...

My thoughts exactly, especially when JG16 and Dan Campbell are about to blow the lid off that division! 

Vikings just cut their best player ?
 

Presumably trumped only by the news that  Big Ben has taken a salary cut and "done a savage" by spreading his salary over 2 years to free up salary cap. 
Now there's a selfless gesture, so the 39 year old can dodder around for one last season...... ?

Gave it a few days to see if anyone would react to this big news, they haven’t, couldn’t leave you hanging any longer so here you go.

 

Big Ric Flair fan?

Thought I'd have a quick look on OTIB as there recent loathing of us is always good for a chuckle. Today was always going to be a good one if we signed anybody.  Turns out there's a weeks worth and it's gone full house party at Norman Bates. Here's a sample for your bedtime reading you illiterate lot. This is one post by the way.
Few observations on this:
The OP appeared to have jumped the gun- think a few were cheering early as well but anyway.
Would/should Keogh not be classed as a Football Creditor? I'd argue there might be a case but maybe that's 2+2=5? It's being appealed in any event (about the only thing that is appealing about that club).
Are they all up to date on their Tax ie on Player Wages- granted clubs will have taken advantage of the tax delays, but delay and defer is quite different to waived. EFL also decided to waive requirements for clubs in terms of Transfer Embargo if overdue taxation etc, presumably with Government blessing.
Those loans from MSD will still need repaying- along with any interest due.
Gabay's charge also still shows not cleared as yet, see Gellaw Newco 202 and Gellaw Newco 204.
Possible they have blocked the George Evans sale too.
On a side note, aren't their players generous- fancy not getting paid correctly and not only playing on but playing to win- same with Sheffield Wednesday, 13 pts from 6 games since wage issues came to light- is there a lesson??
Brighton seem generous too- would you leave a player on loan at a club when wage issues kick in at said club (see Matt Clarke). They lost £67.2m last season FFS! Why would you help out a club who have cash flow issues when you yourself made enormous (but owner covered in part no doubt) losses- I wouldn't! How much of Clarke's wages are Derby paying?
I also note Mel Morris is a CBE- he sure is...insert your own wording though, mine well and truly would differ to the official one. 
PPS- Deferred wages and this is far from a Derby specific issue, have these also been settled in full- both at Derby and other clubs. If not they represent Football Creditors and if that's the case, I question why they are not under restrictions.
Also on another (final) side note, based on DCFCFans their fans do seem somewhat- and their ranting at Matt Hughes and claims of bias on Twitter- they do at least based on a sample, seem somewhat illiterate financially speaking in a football sense. I read OwlsTalk from time to time and they do seem to have a number who know what they're on about Accounting wise, possible sign off issues- they're thin on the ground on Derby's main forum. Perhaps I'm not reading in any great depth and extrapolating unfairly.

Rooney said he only wants to bring in people who improve us. I can see him coming in for Wisdom at some point. Wisdom has been good lately but still worries the hell out of me at times! 

DCFCFans at 11pm

I really can’t see it, makes no sense from their point of view. I wonder if it’s his agent stirring the pot, looking for a better deal or a move.

I understand we did the same to Swindon with Bogle?

It has been a massive PR campaign by the club that has created the situation, they had bit of interest from a couple clubs months ago and have then set out to increase his worth by having him training with the 1st team and putting him in the squad.  The offer of a pro contract was to try to increase his value further. They have got exactly what they wanted which is to make some money out of him like they did with Delap. Not sure why you all seem to think that it is the lads with no loyalty to the club, at the end of the day Derby would sell anyone who will make them money.

This just sounds bitter

I don’t just want in, I want to be vice-president.

Dustin Melton has signed for another year, but due to the change in laws, due to brexit. We’ve had too sign the Zimbabwean fast bowler as an overseas player. 
 
Another rule change for this year is 2 overseas players allowed in all formats, so having him as one who will be available all year is a move I like.
He’s still rough around the edges, but his pace alone means there’s potential there. 

There is a waiting list, back off JJ. Age before beauty
