Teams have allegedly reached out to Derek Carr, who says it would take a special situation for him to return but admits his career is likely over.

Just shows how bad the QB situation is across the board in the NFL.

 

[Aragorn]

I don't believe that there aren't 32 QBs good enough to be NFL starters. Rather, there aren't 32 teams capable of evaluating QB talent. And then there are the teams that are so bad they'll ruin the QB no matter how good he is or could be.

I don’t know. Having watched the CFL and UFL, I’m not sure there are many people who can do the job.

There simply has never been enough QB’s at a competent level for every NFL team.

Local media is reporting that the sale of the Seahawks is down to two private equity investors with the primary shareholders being foreign individuals.
Yeah, that's gonna go well.

A group led by San Francisco 49ers limited partner Vinod Khosla has agreed to purchase the Seattle Seahawks for $9.6 billion, says Adam Schefter.

Time to start exploiting Seattle and the state of Washington for billions for a new stadium!

Yup.
Woke up to the news this morning and immediately thought, "It's Ken Behring all over again".
Expect decades of mediocrity.
Also, this man is 71 years old, I don't expect him to live much longer, then we'll be doing this again in probably less than a decade.

Like the Texans?

And I'm a loyal Texans fan. Oh well......

And I don't think playing musical chairs on the offensive line like they did this offseason (and last offseason as well) is going to help. DeMeco Ryans has built a world class defense without an offense to compliment it. My prediction is the playoffs again this season for the Texans with the usual early exit.

Like the Texans?

Well the Texans ruined David Carr but DeShaun Watson ruined himself. Wasn't Matt Schaub pretty good? Jury is still out on CJ Stroud.

When you think of QB-killer teams, the Jets and Browns are always at the top of the list.
