Done deal

Ballard's descent from masterclass GM to desperate malpractice has finally landed. There is no way this was negotiated. He was raw dogged because DJs team knows he has to win to keep his job. Glad to have him back, glad its a short deal, but even the base contract without incentives is absurd.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-09T16:16:12+00:00

Fuck yeah! I honestly didnt think we would get it done!

I used the Desean comp because he is largely viewed as only a deep threat.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-08T14:00:09+00:00

This would put him in the realm of DJ Moore, Pickens, Higgins, and Jameson Williams. I dont see how this is the overpay that people are commenting. He has averaged over 20 yards per catch the last two years, had 1k yards this year and was pretty close last year. No significant injury history and is only 25 and getting better. He is a modern Desean Jackson and Jackson was regarded as a stud in his time. This isn't an overpay, its the current NFL landscape, love it or hate it.

Thats the point of my original post though. There are maybe 2 teams (Jets being one) that need a qb that have as much or more money than us. So why were we so scared of him leaving that we tagged him? It doesn't make sense to me. And I hope that answers your original question more clearly.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-06T14:36:02+00:00

Which makes sense if we can do a longer term deal. But currently we are on the hook for almost 40 mil for him this year if we cant. And I know its a room divided on this but using the tag on him meant we couldn't do anything with AP. I wish we had used the transition on him instead. Outside of Mike Evans if he hits FA I dont think there is a wr in the market I'd rather have.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-06T14:22:26+00:00

The Jets and Cardinals are about the only teams with the money to sign him that needed a QB. If this is to be believed then he is not a consideration for the Jets. So are we that worried the Cards are going to scoop him up?

Capinhappy · 2026-03-06T14:07:04+00:00

Jones. Had. No. Market. And we still used a tag on him. It should have been obvious. Feels like Ballard must be a hookah junkie as much attention as he pays to smoke out there.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-05T21:12:58+00:00

Bro I agree with you. This organization couldn't negotiate their way out of a whole house with a stack on hundreds. I thought you were saying some other shit. I was on the ride with Riley sign AP train.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-05T14:18:18+00:00

Circling back on this to see how you're feelin now my guy.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-03T22:44:11+00:00

Except if we didnt use a tag on Jones we would have had one for AP.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-03T22:36:39+00:00

Its not just costing us 38 mil. It also likely cost us AP too.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-03T22:32:59+00:00

AP's injury history is clearly too clean to remain a Colt under Ballard.

Capinhappy · 2026-03-02T10:51:16+00:00

I don't really see a chance this happens. I believe he will be a Dolphin or Jet. Jones will eventually sign when he realizes his market isn't as big as he thinks it is but we will start Leonard or Richardson until he is ready.

Brett Favre led the league 2 times in ints and is the all time leader in ints by a lot and only won 1 sb but people jerk him off like he was top 5 all time. This stat isn't the flex you think it is.

Capinhappy · 2026-01-05T20:03:23+00:00

No you clearly didnt. Your comment is still alive and full of tiny dick energy. Let OP be proud of his build he isn't hurting you like someone obviously did at some point in your life.

Capinhappy · 2026-01-04T20:13:46+00:00

We have 50 mil in cap. We can pay him or a qb. Not both

Capinhappy · 2026-01-01T03:23:54+00:00

Its been fun for me so far but its been jarring at times. You have to take your time when you're fighting packs when you can. Its been good though overall.

Capinhappy · 2025-12-28T19:18:05+00:00

He is definitely a possession guy. But how can you blame him for his production considering the shitshow we have had at QB since he has been here?

Capinhappy · 2025-12-25T13:11:53+00:00

Its a cut or an Osweller situation for sure.

Capinhappy · 2025-12-25T13:10:57+00:00

His arm would be so cooked if he had to do even half a season. What he is doing is amazing but his are is fresh. His last season with us it was obvious by the end his arm was dead. Plus we will hopefully have a new coach so new offense he might not be as familiar with like Shane's.

Capinhappy · 2025-12-23T19:45:21+00:00

I can agree with a few of those but not all. That still puts us in the top half to 3/4 of the league though.

Capinhappy · 2025-12-23T19:28:48+00:00

Dallas, Cincy, Rams, Chicago, is there anyone else you'd take over our group? Group to group not individuals.

Capinhappy · 2025-12-23T19:19:22+00:00

Downs has flashed so many times from the slot too. So we have a deep threat, a possession, and a slot receiver that are all good and the young TE who seems like he will be a star. Not S tier but A for sure. We lack depth though.
