Texans trade a 2nd rounder for Brandin Cooks & a 4th rounder

While I like that deal, it would look a whole lot better with Hopkins still on the team.

I'm dying laughing at how many have been bagged by the fake "Colin Kapernick to the Jets" signing.

One would think luminaries like Donna Brazile, Kasim Reed, Ellen McGirt, and Toure Nebett might be sharper than to fall for a Twitter account by "Dr. McCockiner", but I guess not.

That's a terrible trade, Cooks has a bad contract right?

Well, it's not players, but Tessitore and McFarland have been demoted off MNF. Replacements TBD.

What took them so long?

Agree. To use the Barkleyism, they were turrble.

I’ve liked Tessitore for a long time. He always did a great job with his horse racing gigs. But on MNF, it always seemed like he got overexcited over the mundane, and that starts to get weary.

Tessitore was great on Holey Moley. On stuff like the NFL which requires more gravitas, he's dreadful.

The 49ers sign TE George Kittle to a five-year, $75 million extension through 2025.

The Chiefs sign TE Travis Kelce to a four-year extension through 2025.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the deal is worth "more than $14 million" per season and includes "just under" $25 million in guarantees. Kelce still had two years remaining on his previous deal. He had been set to make $8 million in 2020.

[chancellor]

Interesting...so the two best TE's in the league have set the market at about $15 mil/year for the top tier. I thought they'd get more.

[madducks]

The 49ers sign WR Tavon Austin pending a physical.

[madducks]

Packers sign NT Kenny Clark to a four-year, $70 million extension.

The deal includes a $25 million signing bonus and makes him the league's highest paid nose tackle.

Giants sign K Graham Gano.
