    The Eagles have indicated to reporters that they aren't going to Franchise Tag and then trade Nick Foles as previously indicated, they will let him become a free agent instead.

    I guess that's what's best for Nick, but I seriously would have kept him. I don't trust Wentz and Nick's plainly been a better QB for us. I think this is gonna end up burning us in the long run. I wish the best for Nick and I hope another team treats him right.

    Yeah, at the very least, you think the Eagles would have tried and trade him. Now they'll get nothing for the former Super Bowl MVP. And there are plenty of teams that need a quality QB that will snatch him up.

    ESPN is reporting that the Jags are going to sign Foles.

    The local news down here has been theorizing that for weeks.

    Broncos Propose Alternative to Onside Kick, Chiefs Propose NFL Overtime Rules Overhaul

    By Emily Caron - Sports Illustrated




    The Broncos have proposed an alternative to onside kicks as one of the nine rules changes submitted to the league's competition committee for consideration for 2019, the NFL announced Friday night.

    Denver's proposal would give teams trailing in the fourth quarter one opportunity per game to remain on offense after a score if they can convert what is essentially a fourth-and-15 attempt instead of an onside kick. The proposal is similar to a rule in the Alliance of American Football which offers teams the chance to convert a fourth-and-12 from its 28 if it is down by 17 points or more in a game. The rule also applies if a team is trailing by any deficit with five minutes or less remaining in the fourth quarter.

    The Broncos proposal would have each team start at its 35-yard line instead of kicking off.

    The Chiefs proposed a change to the current NFL overtime format, suggesting instead that both teams be guaranteed at least one possession in overtime, regardless of whether or not a touchdown is scored on the first possession. As the overtime rules currently stand, a game ends if a touchdown is scored on the opening overtime possession.

    Kansas City's proposal would also abolish overtime in the preseason and eliminate the overtime coin toss. Instead, the Chiefs propose that whichever team won the pregame coin toss would choose whether it wanted to start overtime with the ball or on defense.

    Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has been vocal about his desire to alter the NFL overtime process after his Chiefs lost to the Patriots in overtime of the AFC Championship in January. New England won the overtime coin toss, then drove down the field for a game-winning touchdown drive. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes never took the field in overtime after the Patriots won the toss.

    The seven other proposed rules changes involve expanding replay review, which has also been a topic of discussion following the 2018 NFL playoffs. The Redskins made the most dramatic proposal, submitting that all plays be subject to coaches' challenges.

    The committee is scheduled to meet later this month to finalize its recommendations for the 2019 NFL season. Votes from 24 owners are required to approve any rule changes.

    I'm fully on board with the change to OT. I've always thought it was asinine to not give each team an equal shot at winning the game. It's only slightly better now than it used to be, but very slightly. It's BS that a game could go to OT and you could lose the game without ever touching the football.

    DeSean Jackson wants to come back to the Eagles. Dude, you're 32 and not nearly as fast as you used to be. It won't be a "reunion" since everything's different now. All of the old guard have left since you last suited up in Eagles' green. Retire.

    Looks like it's a done deal. Nick Foles has agreed to sign with Jaguars for $88 million over 4 years, with roughly $50 million guaranteed and could be worth up to $102 million with incentives.

    I'd also be fine with a 10 minute overtime, play it out. Or each team get a possession from the 40. Still tied? 60-yard field goal attempts.

    The onside rule sounds dumb, as were the restrictions on it last year.

    Personally, I'd rather see a full quarter played in OT, played exactly the same as the rest of the game. Fuck 'em if they get tired. For as much money as they're making, they should be happy they're not being made to play in tutus. If they don't like it they can give up the game and go make an honest living at a regular job like the rest of the people in this country not blessed to be able to play a game for ridiculous amounts of undeserved money.

    I agree, and they're lucky they don't play MORE, not less. God the NFL players are the biggest babies sometimes. Look at hockey players. 82 games a season, sometimes back-to-back games, playing 3 or 4 games a week. And those guys go ALL OUT every game and take every bit as much as a beating as the NFL players do, for a lot less money overall.

    The Giants have traded Odell Beckham Jr to the Browns. No word on compensation.

    The Bears restructured Khalil Mack's contract to open up $11M in cap space.

    No indication who they are going after with that money.
