I never want kids... My whole life I've been told it changes when you get older, but my stance has only gotten stronger. You can call me awful for it lol, I just don't think I have it in me. Got tons of respect for good parents, though, it's literally giving up your life to give to someone else.

Nah, I'm in the same boat. As someone who suffers from a severe anxiety disorder (and a minor depressive disorder), having kids is something I don't feel I'll ever be able to deal with.

Nah why would this be awful? Or why would you be awful for not wanting kids? Raising kids is no joke and not cheap at all. The world is overpopulated as it is and if you don't really want kids, better to recognize that and not have kids.

But for the longest time, I have wanted kids. Which might be weird to some but it is also part of the culture and area of the world I am from (South Asia). I mean it's tough as hell and at times so exhausting but for me definitely worth it. I can't imagine life without my son. And now this one coming, I can't wait!

Somehow missed giardis report on butler. He's a goner, well see what he nets us. Sucks I feel like they should've just offered Gilmore's money to butler, but whatever.

In addition to Nick Foles, Eagles also signed my just born son to a lifetime contract.

But really Nick Foles? Why? Now some jackass fans are going to call for him the minute Wentz hits a slump. I just hate the Reid coaching from afar aspects of this current regime.

In the history of football there has never been a worse backup QB signing then the eagles signing foles. He is terrible but he had a good year once in Philly. The minute Wentz slumps fans are going to be screaming for foles. this is so incredibly stupid. Whatever pick they get for Daniel it isn't worth it for the potential headache of foles.

Most expensive backup and most expensive 3rd stringer. The sad thing is managing the cap is supposed to be what Howie does bast.
Click to expand...
We had 6M of cap space going into the offseason. Howie grabbed Jeffrey, Smith, Warmack, and now Foles, spending over 20M on those guys.

They apparently also moved some of Ertz salary this year into a roster bonus to create even more cap space. It's time to stop worrying about the cap, if the team wants to sign a player, they will.

Now to hope we get some draft picks for Daniel, Kelce, and Kendricks.

At least he's better than Daniel? Kinda?

This screams "He's Peterson's buddy!" kind of signing to me.
Click to expand...
This screams they want to move on from Daniel, and signed Foles because he is familiar with what Doug is doing.

I'm just surprised someone actually wants Daniel, but apparently the Saints and Bears are interested.

Edit: Ah. Looks like Daniel wants a shot at starting and wanted to be released. He knows he has no shot here.

Chase Daniel has an $8 million cap hit this year and will count as $7 million in dead money if he's released.

The Eagles are the best.

Congrats effzee! Happy birthday Mech and Bread!

As for Foles, whatever. Clearly Daniel is getting released so Foles is the new backup. And my feelings haven't really changed. Foles, Daniel, or whoever, if they're starting it's already a lost cause anyway

Just by looking at him, I can tell he's going to be one of those "first in the gym/last to leave" types.

Might be an interesting replacement for Bolden.

If there is one ongoing theme during this off-season for the Houston Texans, it would be the support Tom Savage seems to have from inside the building. The Texans made a stronger commitment to having him in position to compete for the starting quarterback position with the move to trade Brock Osweiler.

“I have always felt good about Tom Savage. He is a very hard working guy, he’s got an excellent arm,” O’Brien said of Savage while at a Special Olympics event in Houston on Sunday. “He has been injured, he hasn’t had great luck when it has come with the health front of things. It is not because of his own doing that is just what has happened to him. We’ve enjoyed working with Tom, we are looking forward to working with him on April 17th.”
It is clear the Texans still have a vision for what Savage can be for this team and Savage has shown a grasp of the offense. The backing by McNair and now O’Brien demonstrates that Savage has a solid chance to put his name into the mix to start the upcoming season.

My QB! Only Kave can truly understand my feelings towards Thomas Benjamin Savage.

I don't know how Butler can justify demanding UFA Gilmore money when he's only played in the league 3 years. Patriots are right to tell him GTFOOH.

Even if they do trade/lose him for a first round pick, my guess is that they take a corner anyhow. Or they could kick the tires on Revis. See if his fat ass can get back in shape.

So it turns out that the Brock Osweiler trade helped get the Browns down to $69 million in cap space per @NFLPA records.

Nice

Oh shit the Chase Daniel contract has offset language. So releasing him isn't that bad, they'll save more than $1M assuming someone signs him
