He wants to own part of the team he plays for. Yeah, right. Dream on.

That's such an insane request ,  I think in the history of the NFL maybe Brady could of made that kind of request and nobody else?

Maybe instead of what they paying Mahones(30m/yr?) they can defer it to ownership %.

During the 2024 season, kickers will continue to kick from the 35-yard line, but the other 10 players on the kickoff team will line up at the receiving team's 40-yard line. At least nine members of the return team will line up in a "setup zone" between the 35- and 30-yard lines. Up to two returners can line up in a "landing zone" between the goal line and the 20-yard line.

No one other than the kicker and returner(s) can move until the ball hits the ground or hits a player inside the landing zone. Touchbacks will be marked at the 30-yard line, and no fair catches will be allowed. In the event a team wants to attempt an onside kick, it will have to inform officials of its intent and would then be allowed to use the NFL's traditional formation. No surprise onside kicks will be allowed.

Really they just need to get rid of kickoffs, you win the coin flip and either you take the ball or let the other team take the ball, through the years they have neurtered the kickoffs for safety reasons and that's fair but there is no reason for kickoffs anymore.

It's weird that they've done everything to the kickoff to eliminate it except get rid of it. The kickoff is already dead in the NFL and yet it's still around like a relic.

Jayden Daniels just had his guaranteed rookie of the year winner moment vs the eagles. 

[bustamente]

Eagles are pretenders without Hurts, can't lose a game when you get 5 turnovers doesn't matter who your qb is. Also their kicker can barely hit a 50 yarder when other kickers are pounding them thru at 55 plus.

[HardCoreBlue]

Watching the Eagles Packers game, starts with a vicious and I mean vicious head shot commentator says great hit on the ball. Not what I saw.

[Goalie]

No upsets so far. Would Tampa over Washington be one? Maybe records wise but Tampa win their crappy division 

[Goalie]

Good bye Vikings. What an embarrassing game for them. 

[SpeedFlex27]

I guess that puts to bed whether to keep Darnold over McCarty.
