    I would hope the average doctor would make more than $5k per week.

    According to the league, each player gets a salary of $50,000 plus a weekly housing stipend of $400, which starts at the end of training camp and lasts for a minimum of 10 weeks.

    Robert Tonyan has signed with the Vikings. Next year with the Lions and he'll have completed the cycle.

    LOL it could happen. He didn't exactly light it up last year in CHI, did he?
    I'd rather have Ben Sims. At least there might be some upside there.

    Actually I forgot Tonyan was actually signed by the Lions as an UDFA in 2017 but never played a regular season game for them.

    That tells me all I need to know about the competition level of the UFL.

    Luxury Automobile resigns with the Bears.

    Coming back for his age 40 nineteenth season in the league. Dude definitely wants to die with his boots on!

    I’m surprised nobody has taken a flier on Bakh yet.

    Bahk won't be signed until after week 1. Then his contract isn't guaranteed.

    Unless a big name goes down in training camp, then he might get signed.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    So when Allen actually hits a guy wearing his teams jersey instead of the others, it can get dropped.

    I still think Bak will never play another snap. He is going to want 15 million and that would still be locked in if he gets injured. I also think he isn't a fool and doesn't want to damage his body even more for money he can't spend.

    You very well could be right.

    I have to agree; given my theory that he had an infection that caused him to have two additional surgeries, odds are strong that knee is never back to full strength, and he should just enjoy the ching he got from GB
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    NE VP of player personnel Eliot Wolf hired ex Packer scout Alonzo Highsmith to a high position in the Pats front office. They were both young bright lights for the Packers Hope they don't start a Packer East

    Just read somewhere this morning that Randall Cobb is taking a job as a college analyst but also says he has not retired. Is he keeping himself available if the Jest need a guy later in the season perhaps?

    Nope. He is hoping to sign and retire as a Packer and possibly get a SB ring instead of a watch.
