Yes and Baker Mayfield re-signing with Buccs. Interesting move by Buccs to run it back with a mediocre team.
reply
Woj doesn't waste time on re-signings.
I was interested in Baker for the Raiders, if he could be had somewhat cheap.
reply
You shouldn’t have been
reply
Out on Baker?
My thinking was that he's the best QB who wouldn't upset our QB plans. We could still draft one early and have them compete with Aidan for the starting job. Also, Baker's enough of a known commodity that he could be traded if he doesn't win the QB competition.
reply
I don’t mind him as a stop gap. I wouldn’t be counting on Baker to take you anywhere.
I know a lot of people are down on JJ McCarthy because that team was built on D and running game but I like winners and I like that he was coached by Harbaugh. I think he would be a good fit with raiders
reply
I heard enough of this "winner" talk from you when we picked up Jimmy G-string.
I am intrigued by McCarthy though. I like guys who are being counted out for seemingly dumb reasons.
reply
Haha. Did I say Jimmy was a winner? Damn what was I smoking?
Thanks for sharing this. Good to know. It seems they are more based in Europe. Wondering if there are some similar organization based in Canada or US.
reply
Yes most of the events seem Europe based. I don't see why one couldn't create a North American chapter.

Super awesome! BTC FC shares this sentiment and it would be fantastic to connect!
