Your Wednesday Evening & Another Game 7 Open Thread

NFL News: One day until the Draft

• BEN EXTEND CONTRACT!  
  • BEN STAY IN RIVER CITY UNTIL 20 OR 21.
    • BEN NOT SURE HOW YEARS WORK, BUT KNOWS 20 OR 21 IS AGE OF CONSENT!
  • BIG BEN SO HAPPY, LITTLE BEN EXTEND!!

• Also getting an extension is Ravens kicker Justin Tucker.
  • He set a record for the position, receiving a four-year extension through 2023 worth $20.45 million, with $12 million guaranteed after two years.

• Beastmode has retired again.
  • With the Raiders expected to target running backs in the draft, Marshawn saw his role declining & got out with his pride intact.
    • Also, not being a “GRUDEN GRINDER” likely had an influence.

• Rumours are that Dan Snyder is taking over the first round selection for the [Redacteds].
  • And he wants to choose QB Dwayne Haskins from THE Ohio State University.
    • Partly because they need a new QB, unless Jesus himself has fixed Alex Smith’s leg; partly because the kid went to high school with Snyder’s son, so Danny might think he can work a home town discount.
  • The last time Snyder got this involved was 2012, when he traded three consecutive first rounders to the Rams for RGIII.
    • Currently slotted at 15, they will likely have to trade up to get him. It’ll depend on how long he’s available & how long Snyder can avoid pulling the trigger and overpaying.
