Your “Whatever You Say, Man” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News:

• The Bucs have inked Ndamukong Suh to a one-year deal to ply his wares in pirate country.
  • This will mark Suh’s fourth team since being drafted, having played for the Lions, Dolphins, and Rams previously.
  • To use nfl.com‘s assessment, Tampa released the 2010 #3 overall pick (Gerald McCoy) so they could land the 2010 #2 overall pick.
    • FYI – the top pick in 2010? Oft-broken & released Sam Bradford.

• It has to save them money, because Suh was paid $14 million by the Rams in 2018, and McCoy was scheduled to make $13 million in 2019.

• OTAs have brought down another star, as Nick Bosa has injured his hamstring.
  • He limped off the training field under his own power.
    • Somewhere deep inside Bristol, Mel Kiper screams “I TOLD YOU SO!”

• Because you don’t leave the cult until the cult lets you leave, Julian Edelman has agreed to an unspecified multi-year extension with the Patriots.
  • His deal was set to expire after the 2019 season, but what Tommy wants, Tommy gets.
  • Because it never gets brought up, he was drafted in the seventh round in 2009.

• The Bills have allowed Senorise Perry to use #32, as the number has not been retired.
  • He wore the number in college at Louisville, and when playing for the Bears.
    • He had to wear #34 in Miami because Kenyan Drake wanted to keep the number.
  • The previous user of those digits had some opinions on the matter:
    • “Whatever they do is fine with me,” Simpson told [The Athletic]. “That’s how I feel. When I played there, I tried to honor the team. Since I left, I always tried to honor the Bills. And, to be honest, it’s not something I think about. There’s too much else going on in life.”

• Ben Roethlisberger acknowledged that he “lacked in leadership” during the 2018 season, and admits that might have been what helped drive away Antonio Brown.
  • “I never really saw any of it coming. I would have loved to have had the chance to talk to him. That’s why I said yesterday, whatever I did to offend him, I apologize for it. I tried to do that in person, talk to him. He wouldn’t allow me to.”
  • AB84’s response?
