data-mm-id=”_z2yr8v8le”>Today on Get Up, Mike Greenberg said that "dollar for dollar this is probably at this point the best contract any player in the NFL has," in regard to the contract extension DeShaun Watson just signed. Ryan Clark then said that Watson got the deal he was supposed to get because he earned it. Clark added that Dak Prescott wanted this deal, but was the wrong person to get it. "Dollar for dollar, this is probably at this point the best contract any player in the NFL has."—@Espngreeny pic.twitter.com/2cY0Za6xlR— Get Up (@GetUpESPN) September 7, 2020I just don't get it. Not that Watson did get the deal, but that Dak didn't. Watson is young and talented and the Texans clearly want to build around him. That's all fine and makes co…

data-mm-id=”_xmr3dftbh”>The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not been quite as good as we all thought they would be heading into the year. Yes, they're 3-2 and looked great in their wins while their losses were close games. The injury bug has hit the team's skill position players harder than most, which is saying something considering how widespread key injuries have been in the NFL this year. It just hasn't been the effortless dominance that was presumed after Tom Brady joined Bruce Arians, Chris Godwin, and Mike Evans. The biggest reason for this is not that Brady is getting old, although he may or may not have forgotten it was fourth down last Thursday. It isn't that the team needs time to mesh, even if there are moments where it's obvious training camp would have …

data-mm-id=”_6yivxnv1o”>While the Jets haven't made a decision about the future of Sam Darnold yet, they're reportedly fielding trade calls on him. That doesn't mean they'll move the former No. 3 pick, but it's certainly a signal they're strongly considering the idea as the quarterback trade market explodes like a meme stock. So where could Darnold head to next? Here are the most likely trade destinations for the former USC star. Indianapolis ColtsWhile rumors of Andrew Luck coming out of retirement led us to consider his future destinations, the more likely scenario is Luck remains retired and the Colts need to find another starting quarterback following the retirement of Philip Rivers. The Colts could sign a free agent like Jameis Winston or Ryan Fitzpat…

data-mm-id=”_zq3b9f6ix”>The College Football Playoff National Championship game is being played at SoFi Stadium for the first time Monday night and things have gotten a bit weird. Georgia is blowing TCU out on the field, while fans are being rained on in the stands. In case you're wondering, yes, SoFi Stadium has a roof on it. The geniuses who designed the stadium put a roof over the playing field and stands, but left the sides open to the elements. Currently rain is blowing into the stands sideways. It’s pouring rain outside … and it’s blowing into the open air sections of SoFi Stadium. #godawgs #CFBPlayoff pic.twitter.com/FDwzd7YC6m— Alison Mastrangelo (@AlisonWSB) January 10, 2023SoFi is open air stadium. While it’s covered it’s cold and the rain blowing in sideways…

data-mm-id=”_7a4xtok5b”>On Wednesday, the New York Jets announced they had restructured quarterback Aaron Rodgers' contract. That's not an unusual occurrence and would have passed largely unnoticed around the NFL if not for the numbers that were released. Rodgers wound up taking a pay cut of roughly $35 million to help the Jets out. The Green Bay Packers have to be furious at that news. When Rodgers was traded from the Packers to the Jets this offseason, he agreed to move a $58.3 million option bonus to 2024 to help the Jets fit him under their salary cap limit. That meant he'd be owed $107 million in 2024. That was untenable, so something had to change. Today that change was announced and it's mind-boggling. Rodgers and the Jets have agreed to a two-year deal with …

data-mm-id=”_pr6c02jle”>The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday, a victory that should be extremely theraputic for Vikings fans everywhere. Instead, the win is overshadowed by the huge loss Minnesota suffered as Kirk Cousins is feared to have torn his Achilles on a non-contact play in the second half. With Kirk Cousins feared to have torn his Achilles, a prolific season appears headed to a frustrating end. https://t.co/3bZnTQ3JpJ— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 29, 2023The Vikings started very slowly this year but were in the process of turning it around; the Packers win marked three straight to move their record to 4-3 on the year. The last two wins have been particularly impressive given they've come without Justin Jefferson. Now, thou…

data-mm-id=”_lhofzhctk”>Brace yourself, folks, because this is the big one we've all been waiting for. Reports are coming into the newroom that suggest 34-year-old Travis Kelce kissed his 34-year-old girlfriend Taylor Swift when the clock struck midnight last night. In public! Where people could see!And sure enough, a somewhat authentic-looking video of the lip-locking has found its way onto the internet. Extended video as it lasted much longer🙃😄pic.twitter.com/3bjDkEzLdy— Taylor Swift Updates 🩵 (@swifferupdates) January 1, 2024ZOMG. Celebrities really are just like us. Once that calendar flips over to the next year, the carnal urges take over. The Guardian felt solid enough journalistically to categorize this bout of tonsil hockey "passionate.&#…
