They are wheeling and dealing today, also picking up an offensive guard from the Browns.

Wow, more bold moves involving one of the best defensive players in the league. This is the second time this season it has happened. So far, the previous deal (Khalil Mack to the Bears), has worked out well for both teams.
Sometimes teams have to muster the courage to make moes like this. Trading two first rounders is nothing to sneeze at and losing your best player isn't either. So we'll see if Ramsey can play well enough to re-balance the Rams' defense, though we won't be able to see the full affect until Aquib Talib, but I admire the courage town by both teams.
At least they're going to go down swinging...
Whoever it is will be getting the ever loving snot beat out of them every week behind that porous line, better it be a vet at the end of his career than a young QB who could be a decent backup for years to come.
I'll be surprised if Rosen is even on the roster next year.
Patrick Mahomes out of the game vs. Denver with a knee injury.
Madden Curse strikes again?
That #72 O-lineman Bolles is an idiot. 9 holding penalties this season and 2 already tonight. He should be permanently benched. Fangio won’t do it, though, because he was personally drafted by jolly old Saint Elway back in 2017. 
Mahomes suffered a right kneecap dislocation. They will have an MRI done to check for ligament damage.
So what, the kneecap slid off to one side of the knee?
So what, the kneecap slid off to one side of the knee?
Yep. I've had a patellar dislocation and my kneecap was about 45° out of place to the outside of the leg.
Incidentally, I damn near passed out when I saw it - not from the injury but from the sight of it.
In your case, were the ligaments torn, or just stretched? How much would one of those knee braces with the hole in front help Mahomes if he were to try playing in a week or two?
Partial tear - no surgery beyond the procedure repositioning the kneecap. Rest and rehab torture followed.
My injury was in the late 70's and I had a bulky brace during rehab. I don't know how the modern braces would affect Mahomes' mobility and performance. They are a lot lighter than the one I had.
MRI on Mahomes is in and it's negative. No breaks or ligament tears. Just a dislocated patella (kneecap), basically. Painful, but not catastrophic. "Best case scenario", the doctors are calling it. He'll be back in 3 weeks or so. Here's wishing for a speedy recovery.
I hate that he isn't a Dolphin, but the game definitely needs more players like Patrick Mahomes. Hope he's back on the field soon.
Nothing will be funnier than the Bears trading a whole boatload of draft picks to move up one spot, from 3 to 2, to draft Trubisky, despite knowing that Trubisky was seen by the rest of the league as easily the 4th-best quarterback in the draft, at best. They already knew that San Francisco was sold on Solomon Thomas, so they didn't need to worry about losing the tittie-kisser to them.
