NFL Random Thought of the Day

The Chiefs got banged up in one practice. Head coach Andy Reid said in his post-practice press conference that Hollywood Brown suffered an ankle injury, Xavier Worthy “banged his head,” and Skyy Moore exited with a hamstring injury.

Several initial reports stated that he claimed to be an NFL player. Despite claims in his suicide note suggesting he suffered from CTE due to playing in the NFL, investigators and city officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, have clarified that Tamura was never an NFL player, After doing some additional research, I found that the only organized football he played was in HS in California.

Report: Cowboys, Micah Parsons talks “have gone backwards”
Published July 30, 2025 09:18 AM

At a time when they should be making progress, the Cowboys and linebacker Micah Parsons are not.

Adam Schefter of ESPN.com said Tuesday that the two sides are moving in the wrong direction.

Via Leocciano Callao of Yahoo Sports, Schefter said the player and team are “further away from a deal in late July, early August than [they] were in late March, early April.”

“The two sides have gone backwards, not forwards,” Schefter added. “I don’t think they’re speaking very much these days, if at all. This negotiation, when it was a negotiation, has gone sideways. It’s not a negotiation right now. There’s really no conversation about getting a deal done.

“That could change next week. It could change shortly before the season. We’ve seen how long Dallas sometimes waits on some of these deals. See CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott last season.”

It could be something that happens as the clock strikes 12 on the 2025 regular season. Or it could be this: The Cowboys have an offer on the table that won’t be changing. Parsons can either take it or play under his fifth-year option of $24 million and then resume talks after the season.

My own prediction/guess is that, ultimately, there won’t be a new deal until 2026.
 
Miami Dolphins cornerback Kader Kohou suffered a partial ACL tear during training camp practice on Saturday. This injury will require surgery and will cause him to miss the entire 2025 season...............................ACL #5.
 
All initial reports were that Jones was carted off with a leg injury. Now it's been changed to hear-related. The Browns players evidently don't know what real heat is! :chef:

Dawand Jones exited practice due to an issue with heat
By Myles Simmons
Published July 30, 2025 12:07 PM

Browns offensive tackle Dawand Jones exited Wednesday’s practice early, but there isn’t major reason for concern.

Via multiple reporters, Jones left practice due to issues with the heat.

It’s been hot in Northeast Ohio this week, with today’s high expected to reach 87 degrees and a heat index of 92.

Jones, a fourth-round pick in the 2023 draft, is returning from a fractured ankle suffered midway through last season and appears in line to start at left tackle this season. He has started 17 of his 21 appearances in his two seasons in the league.

Jerry doing Jerry things. And then next year, it'll cost him $6-7 mil per year more.
 
The Cowboys are getting desperate. After losing four offensive linemen the past week. Tyler Guyton (knee), Rob Jones (neck), Matt Waletzko (ankle) and Hakeem Adeniji (concussion) will miss time, and a fifth, left guard Tyler Smith, left practice early Thursday with knee soreness..............they are going to work out Olineman La’el Collins tomorrow. Collins spent 7 years with the Cowboys since 2016 when he was picked undrafted. He has not played a snap in the NFL since 2022. :popcorn:
 
Tyler Smith has been now given the diagnosis of knee tendonitis. Recovery from knee tendonitis can be prolonged, with a full return to activity potentially taking a month to several months in severe cases. The one thing you don't want to do is take any short cuts in this type of injury. Doing so would risk tearing or rupturing the tendon.

All of that is contingent on signing him to a $200 mil extension BEFORE season starts. Can we afford that with CJ and WA coming up?

I realize it's a bit of a pipedream. Definitely going to be difficult to manage the cap and will turn into a top heavy team, not sure how we would alleviate the cap or supplement the roster once payday comes for everyone

Micah is a stud, but the one area we are not lacking is DE. Got to keep some money for our own coming up. Current guys will destroy teams without Micah. Just keep him in the NFC please

They will have to choose who they want to let walk vs who they want to keep.
 
Just some quick numbers:
Parsons turns 26 this season compared to 5 years older TJ Watt with the latter signing a 3-year extension for 123 million at AAV of 41 million with a total $ 108m guaranteed. IRC, it is the highest for a non -qb.

I think Parsons will stick it to Jerry for $50 million x 4 years but not necessarily Houston for the same. Here is a thought as I put on my Nick Caserio hat:


** Trading Hunter saves just over 12 million cap but also leaves a 8.2 million dead $ hit. $11 m current space + $12 from Hunter leaves a lot of room to work with.

A likely approach would be {also as we did with Collins and Stingley} to use Parsons 2025 season to spread a large signing bonus over 4 years.


$45 m x 3 years $135 million Parsons newest highest paid Non-qb. A $40 million signing bonus puts a smile on his and agent's face. That can be prorated over the 4 years and still be under the current cap space. That would leave Houston with the 12 million from Hunters trade.

Anderson and Stroud are off the table until after this season to negotiate an extension. As stated above, I expect the NFL to explode the salary cap to get certain concessions from the NFLPA such as an 18th game and a few other concessions. I know the NFL wants to cut the percentage for the players Union.
