Double standard in Houston Plus why Cars

If you're reading today's newsletter under 17 blankets, don't worry, you're not alone. That's because everything I wrote today was from under 17 blankets and let me tell you, writing from underneath 17 blankets isn't easy. However, our country continues to be blitzed by an arctic cold front that is probably the worst I've seen since I watched "The Day After Tomorrow" for the first time, so I had to use the blankets.I live in Nashville, which might as well be Norway right now, because there's ice falling from the sky and I haven't left my house in three days. If it's snowing in your neck of the woods, please have as much fun as po sible Trent Williams Jersey , but also, please try not to pull an (This joke will make way more sense once you get to the end of the newsletter). To get to the end of the newsletter, though, you have to get to the beginning, so let's get this thing started. As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to do is . 1. Today's Show: Is there a double standard in ?I'll be honest, I never thought a 4-12 team would be dominating the headlines this offseason, but that's exactly what's happening with the . With Bill O'Brien out, I a sumed that they would try to put together a quiet offseason so that no would make fun of them, but it turns out I was wrong.The Texans remain a talking point in NFL circles and that's mostly for two reasons: doesn't want to play for them and they cut J.J. Watt. For today's episode of the podcast, Will Brinson was joined by CBS Sports NFL Insider and the two spent some time talking about whether there was a double standard in Houston with the Texans honoring Watt's request to be released, but not Watson's request to be trade. With Watt now a free agent, Brinson and Jones decided to discu s a few po sible landing spots for the former Texans star. The two also spent some time debating where Watson might end up and Jones mentioned a surprise team that might make a hard play for the Texans quarterback (Spoiler alert: That team is the ).To listen to today's episode -- and to subscribe to the podcast -- . 2. What's holding up a trade?In the days leading up to the Super Bowl, there was a report that a Carson Wentz trade . Well, it's now been 10 days since the Super Bowl and we still haven't seen a trade go down, so what gives? Glad you asked. The race for Wentz seems to be down to two teams and those two teams are Indianapolis and Chicago. Right now, the are to land Wentz, but the hold up is that Wentz would prefer to play for the , which has created two i sues.First, if Wentz wants to play for the Colts and the Colts know that, that gives them some leverage. The Colts have reportedly been for C.J. Beathard Jersey Wentz, but a deal hasn't gotten done, because the are hoping to get more compensation in return, with many reports suggesting they . If the Colts are willing to budge with their offer, that will likely get a deal done, but Indy has no incentive to improve the offer because they're basically competing with themselves (If the Eagles had gotten a better offer at this point, they probably would have taken it).The next i sue is that Wentz seems to have a desire to play in Indy. If the Bears have the best offer on the table, they might be hesitant to move forward with the deal if they think that Wentz doesn't want to be in Chicago. Everyone on the Bears' coaching staff is on the hot seat and if they trade for a quarterback who doesn't want to be there, that could lead to a poor season, which could lead to everyone getting fired. Although these trade talks have dragged out for nearly two weeks, don't expect them to drag out much longer. With free agency starting in exactly one month (March 17), it's almost a certainty that Wentz will be traded by then and likely before the end of February, so you'll definitely want to keep your eyes on this NFL San Francisco 49Ers Jersey situation. 3. GM calls out team's 2020 first-round pickIt's not easy to be labeled a draft bust after just one year, but that's where is headed after one of the ugliest rookie seasons in NFL history. When the Titans selected Wilson with the 29th overall pick last April, they were hoping the tackle would be able to anchor their offensive line for years to come. Instead, he had one of the ugliest rookie seasons of any first-rounder ever: Wilson only played in one game the entire season and that one game involved four snaps.Wilson's career in Tenne see got off to a rocky start and that was before Week 1 even kicked off. In the lead up to the season, he was given a trespa sing warning , which is even more notable, because he wasn't supposed to be attending parties due to the pandemic. In September, Wilson was , which only added to his mounting i sues. Wilson for "violating team rules." At this point, Titans general manager Jon Robinson sounds kind of fed up with the situation. During an interview on Tuesday, Robinson said Wilson is going to have to decide he he actually wants to play football. Robinson also noted that he hasn't spoken to the offensive lineman since December."We put him on the reserve/non-football injury list and ," Robinson said. "He's going to have to make a determination on whether he wants to do what it takes to play pro Richard Sherman Jersey football. That will be on him."After drafting the 6-foot-6, 350-pound offensive tackle out of back in April, the Titans thought for sure he'd spend years blocking for -- but that doesn't seem like it's going to be the case. "We did a lot of work on him, leading ," Robinson said. "The player that was here in the fall in Nashville was not the player we evaluated."4. Ranking free agent wide receiversWith free agency starting next month, now seems like a good time to take a look at players who will be available. Since I don't want to overwhelm you by listing every player who will be a free agent, we're going to do this in an organized manner. I'm going to list off the top players by position and today, we're going to start with wide receivers.Our Tyler Reuben Foster Jersey Sullivan put together a list of the top-10 receivers who will be hitting free agency. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. T.Y. Hilton9. Corry Davis10. A.J. GreenIf you read his piece, Sullivan went into more detail about how much money each guy will be able to command in free agency, so you can get an idea of whether your favorite team will be able to afford any of these players.

By all accounts, Lawrence's in the 2021 NFL Draft. With that in mind, let's take a look at Pete Prisco's latest mock draft. If you're thinking, "Man, I thought Prisco only did power rankings and then took six months off," I also thought that, but it seems he will also be doing several mock drafts between now and April and this is his firs
