It's always good to get Kevin back. One of these days he is going to retire and we will see a drop off in the talent he acquires yearly.

 

Depends on who you get to replace him.

 

No question, the next GM will be a landmark hire and they better get it right.

 

While the signing is good..... the timing was DUMB..... come on man..... announce Colbert's extension on the first day of player free agency? I think it sends a horrible message to the group of free agents.... DUMB

 

WARNING: MUSIC IS NSFW

 

Free agency starts on March 17.

 

it’ll be an internal promotion or someone you never heard of.

 

Who cares as long as they are excellent at the job.

 

Said he's going when Ben goes. I said that a couple of years ago. What I don't get is him doing one more draft in 2022 and then retiring. Shouldn't the new guy get to draft his players?

 

It'd be nice to pry Ozzie Newsome away from the Rats. He's no longer GM now, but part owner from what I understand.

 

My bad then..... my thought was today since the Patriots have made two big signings today..... I just assumed they were free agents

 

Do we know what the Cowher announcement is yet?

 

I have been hearing Brandon Hunt could be the internal hire, I forgot his title.

 

Today is the start of the legal tampering period.
