Think it's because they want to give him a bit more confidence going into the new season, the last thing you want is for Wentz to have the contract at the back of his mind with the issues that he has already had . From what I have heard today it seems like most of the experts believe that teams that follow now with Goff & co will be paying even more because of this deal so I think it's alright. It's obviously a slight gamble but Eagles just believe in him a lot

I'm excited to see what my New York Giants can do, like many others I had a pessimistic outlook when it came to the direction the franchise was taking under the leadership of Dave Gettleman and Pat Shurmur especially after the OBJ trade. I initially wasn't sure on the Draft selection of Daniel Jones either, especially at number six when players such as Josh Allen were still on the board. But I'm willing to give this team another chance in the direction it is choosing to take, Daniel Jones is impressing from what I'm hearing from the training camps and could even start over Eli Manning. I doubt this but it would not surprise me should he displace the veteran at some point this season. My doubts are of course still there regarding the overall direction, but I'm willing to give it a chance that's for sure. It's a make it or break it season for the Giants and they have to perform to expectations.
I think the Giants have firmly lost their way right now. Not so much the OBJ trade or drafting Daniel Jones (I mean no one truly know the worth of a QB until they’re on the NFL field - we’ve seen slam dunks fail and sure fails boom) but just overall, I can’t see a strategy. For the other organisations which have gone from nothing to something in recent years, none have done it without having a clear plan. Even now, whether we agree with the Raiders or not, they at least are trying something and have an idea of what they want. With the Giants, I simply can’t see that there yet. The Giants won’t have a bad season but the result of this season is irrelevant (I can’t see how you make the playoffs in a division with the Eagles and Cowboys). Really what happens in the next offseason will really show if a plan is in place and a direction is set.
Supposedly players would accentuate a possible injury if they knew they had to line up against him the following game.
One of the most intimidating athletes to ever play the game. I’d put him up there with anyone in that regard.

Watching the Raiders on Hard Knocks is going to be a lot of fun. With some of the characters in the side, there's bound to be some major blowups.
Great about hard knocks ... but where the hell is All or Nothing?!
12 weeks till NFL . Can not wait
Sad news
He was a great owner. Alzheimer’s is awful
RIP.
Really can't wait for the season to start again. Only 2.5 months to go
We've started a Dynasty league with a few friends this time around, which turns out to be great fun. Trading picks, reading up about the rookies, breakout candidates, ... All gives you plenty of insight and makes you look forward to the new season even more. Listening to NFL podcasts on the way to work is also a great pastime.

As a Giants fan I don't have much to look forward too but I still cant wait for the season to begin. Since Eli is well passed it I expect Jones to get some games when all hope Is lost.
In a neutral standpoint I can not wait to see how this Browns team will play. Lots of potential in this team.
Also want to see how Mahomes fairs following his MVP season.
Cant come any sooner

Are we doing a fantasy footy league this year again? @Eboue think you said you weren’t going to organise this year, anyone else up for organising?
Yeah someone else can do it. I'll play though.
Don't want to organise it but I'll definitely play again as well.
Don't be a bitch
i was born a bitch and ill die a bitch and that's all there is to it
Definitely want to play. Have never organised a league before, and wouldn't know where to start.
Lots of players... but we need an organiser! I just don’t have the time sadly.
I think Eboue you did such an awesome job you might as well just do it again ...

I'd also like to play in the fantasy league again to get something to root for after the first 4 games and first 4 losses for the Dolphins this season.
I'll even play in a 2qb league again.
I just need something apart from the tank for Tua to enjoy the season

We need @Eboue to stop being such a massive bitch and run the league(s) again.
Absolutely not.
You running the leagues is what Frankie Muniz would have wanted
It needs to be dynasty
too many people will be band. the only way I would run a league would be dynasty and for money with people actually commited. but I dont think we have that
and we would need a better way to do the money. I didnt realize till too late how much PayPal are up in fees
I'm in if someone starts a league
Its gonna be funny when yous realize its not happening in week 3 of preseason.
Disappointing
What's the problem Eboue? You know deep deep deep down that you want to do it.
I would do a money dynasty league.
There's a start.
How difficult is it to run leagues? I haven't the faintest idea about starting one but I could help out in case you need help setting up a free league.
I dont need help to run a free league because I'm not going to run a free league. But it's only hard if you have unreliable people in the league. Chasing them around for the various things you need is annoying.
That's why I would only do a paid league since it will self select people who are less of a hassle.
A dynasty league sounds interesting. How much would you be wanting to buy in?
