True...and just making into an NFL camp and sticking this far means you're better than 99.9% of the football players out there.

NFL Europe awaits

...Or you go back to your hometown, where the manager of your local Famous Footwear hires you and promises to fast track you. You sell lots and lots of shoes, as the men come to hear your NFL stories ("So was Aaron Rodgers really a dick or what?" he asks while you hand him his size-twelve Jordans to try on) and the women come to see if you're still as swaggeringly hot as you were in high school a few years back. You marry one of those women, become the manager of Famous Footwear. You eat well, drink lots of beer at those barbecues, get a belly, play a lot of golf with the guys from regional. They slap you on the back, drink with you, go to the strip clubs, where you get as high as a kite. You fool around on your wife with a young, impressionable female customer. Your wife takes your kids, your house, and most of your paycheck. You drink more. Your store's sales go down. Your employees hate you. You get canned. You end up at the end of the bar at China Lite Lounge, where people walk in and say "Geez, that guy looks familiar. Do we know him?" Instead of people buying drinks for you, you're buying drinks for your friends at the bar, so they'll listen to you tell that story, again, about the time Davante Adams accidentally pissed on your shoes after practice in the lockerroom. One day, you're telling that story, and the people walking in to China Lite look at you and whisper, "Geez, that's guy drunk at the bar every time we come here," and when you tell your Davante Adams story, the young kid sitting two barstools down asks you "So who was Davante Adams, anyway?" while the young beauty behind the bar rolls her eyes at you and and says, "Oh, come on, you don't look like you could've ever even have gotten a tryout in the NFL."

Have you already bought the sports car or boat yet?

They should bring that back. Or put up funds for the spring league. Just makes too much sense.

But where will Famous Footwear find their managers, then?

I need a new fridge delivered, so I'll wait until after cut-down.

Josh McCown can't play forever.

If I get to run an NFL franchise after Patler and bobble, the first guy who brings me a Patriots trade suggestion gets fired.

Or at least, surveilled and followed.

@AdamSchefter
Trade terms: Baltimore dealt OL Jermaine Eluemunor and a sixth-round pick to New England for the Patriots’ fourth-round pick, per source.

True story: I was playing the Gus Macker tourney at the Bradley Center summer of '90. One of my teammates (friend of a friend) goes up to the shoe tent and there's Fred Roberts (From the Bucks - a journeyman forward type). This guys says: "Say, I'd like to see those Addidas' over there in a size 11." Fred Roberts says: "I'm Fred Roberts" Guy says: "Well, it's nice to meet you Fred. Now can I see those shoes in a size 11."

Texans have turned Jadaveon Clowney into two linebackers and a 3rd round pick. Trade with Seattle according to Aaron Wilson.

Genius.

here's hoping that deal blows all the hell up on Seattle. There's a reasonable chance it will.

Easily worth the risk though. If he stays remotely healthy, its a Lou Brock trade. One of those LBs were getting cut according to camp reports.

Edited to add:

@RapSheet
Terms for the #Seahawks trade for Jadeveon Clowney: Seattle gets Clowney, the #Texans get a third-round pick, LB Jacob Martin, and pass-rusher Barkevious Mingo, source said.

[mraynrand]

Seattle didn't give up much at all, did they.

No and the Texans didn't get what they were asking for in position either.

Texan fan, hearing the trade details from his fiancée instead of wedding vows:
