I don't know about being a better option. Trading Khalil Mack is a really dumb idea.

I think he is a better coach than Pagano. I don't think he wanted to trade Mack, he tried to keep him. But he did get pretty good compensation for him. Look at the Giants who could have traded Collins, now he leaves and they will just get a compensation pick. Gruden is going full rebuild aiming for a good team when they hit Vegas.

That is not a very high bar to meet.

There are lots of head coaches who are better than Pagano.

My 9 year old grand son would be a better coach then Pagano.

I know, and that was why Colts fans were interested in Gruden. He was the biggest name at the time.

Rams announce they have agreed to terms with edge rusher Dante Fowler

[smitty46953]

Raiders re-signed DT Jonathan Hankins to a two-year contract.


Hankins started 14 games for the Raiders last year after experiencing a surprisingly quiet market following his mid-March release from the Colts. Only 27, Hankins was serviceable against the run on 573 snaps in Oakland but offered very little up the middle from a pass rushing perspective. He's ranked No. 22 overall among interior defensive linemen in Evan Silva's Free Agent Tracker.

And I mean, if we look at what he got:

Net for the 3 major Raiders trades.

Raiders give up:

Khalil Mack
Amari Cooper
2019 3rd round
2019 5th round
2020 2nd round
2020 6th round

In exchange for:

Antonio Brown
2019 1st round
2019 1st round
2020 1st round
2020 2nd round
2020 5th round

He's already managed to turn Amari Cooper into Antonio Brown

If he turns Khalil Mack into Quinnen Williams and Montez Sweat, then it's possible he's upgraded there too.

And he'd still be sitting on a SLEW of draft picks from there.

Now, yes, I will agree that it's entirely possible that he still manages to fuck it up. But right now, it looks like there could be a method to his madness.

Maybe...has he been taught that iron sharpens iron?

@JasonLaCanfora
Will be a ton of action on pass rushers this week. DET and MIA are big on Flowers. Hear IND, OAK, SF, NYJ among those courting Z. Smith. Some Ravens players think Suggs heading to AZ. Cam Wake could be in line for $10M/yr or more.
