Like Aaron's "presentation" must be absolutely amazing. Was it in Powerpoint or was it a collection of YouTube videos? You said this "needs to be a conversation," Aaron, share your knowledge with us!

Found it:

ROCK FLAG AND EAGLE, RIGHT, CHARLIE?!

It'll be the new Packers cadence when Kaaron is back on the field.

Kaaron Rodgers forever.

So it looks like OBJ was released without a modification of his contract, so he is pretty likely to be a free agent. No idea where he will go now.

Not sure where you saw that but I don't believe it's correct.

Pretty sure this year's money was hardly touched and following years were lopped off.

The only logic I can think is he wants to hit FA this year and sign up another big deal. I guess it's to ward off any teams with cap space who thought they could claim him and control his rights after this year.

A weird team could still pick him up and franchise him if they really wanted to. But probably doubtful. He's already pretty much telegraphed 'I'm a pain in the ass for any team I don't want to be on'.

Not even sure if he has a preferred destination really or just another big contract.

I swear every time Red Zone switches to a Browns game, I see OBJ dropping a pass. Is he even good anymore?

Cleveland is using OBJ... weirdly.

At his best in NY, OBJ was a YAC machine. His first 3 years in the league, he ranked 9th, 3rd, and 3rd in total YAC.

His YAC has disappeared in Cleveland, as they have increased his average depth of target to new career highs in each of his 3 years there. At 14.3 average depth of target this season, the only guys ahead of him are pretty much all deep threat specialists - Emmanuel Sanders, DJ Chark, Nelson Agholor, Hollywood Brown... the criminally negligent motorist who shall not be named...

Everything about his usage in Cleveland just looks... off. I don't know why they've cast him into this role, other than the fact that Jarvis Landry obviously is a YAC receiver himself, and they haven't had anyone else to fill that role (until maybe now with Peoples-Jones).

You know, there was a time when I sighed and wished that the Bucs had drafted OBJ instead of Mike Evans.

That time didn't last long.

I don't think I ever saw Cleveland run dual slants with Landry and OBJ. Who could stop that?

Much like you haven't seen Chubb and Hunt out together much. Guess it's hard to do when you're always trotting out two TEs...

Christian McCaffrey is active from IR.

Sam Darnold passes concussion protocol.

Sorry, Enix

Wait a minute, is it pronounced "Choo-bah" Hubbard and not "Cha-bah"?

Also, what an ugly a** first quarter of football in Carolina.

Wow. The Ravens defense is awful.

And Trevor Lawrence is down.

And now I am once again watching a QB that went between my teams: BEAT HARD.

He’s back! Jaguar Jesus is risen!

… and former 49er Carlos Hyde coughs up the ball for a turnover on Trevor’s 1st play back in.

JOSH ALLEN SACKED JOSH ALLEN

It happened!!! Let’s all celebrate by getting Jags jerseys!

And Baker throws a 60 yard TD bomb to Peoples-Jones to help make me look smart.

Hey Darnold is seeing ghosts again.

EDIT: And again. Yikes.

What's going on in Denver? Did Dallas send the scout team?

McCarthy somehow decided to take Cooper Rush out of the lineup.

Denver still shutting out Dallas with 3 min left in the 3rd y'all. Game of the week indeed.

This sequence just happened in the Jags game:

4th and 7 from Buffalo 24: Jags line up for field goal, kick hits left upright. Flag on the ground, false start on the Jags, so dead ball foul, kick attempt didn’t count.

4th and 12 from Buffalo 29: Jags line up for field goal, kick misses to the left. Flag on the ground, running into the kicker on the Bills. 5 yard penalty, repeat 4th down.

4th and 7 from Buffalo 24: Jags line up for field goal, kick misses to the left.

JOSH ALLEN INTERCEPTED JOSH ALLEN

Hey Darnold gets DJ Moore destroyed then throws a pick in the end zone. lol

I would find that far more interesting if it wasn't such a blah name.

Out of context this makes a Josh Allen look really bad at football.
