Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith reportedly attempted to fight a trash talker after coaching the South Florida Express high school football team.

“That’s why I get paid the big bucks! That’s why they pay me the big bucks nigga, because I do it," Smith was seen screaming after the game had ended.

Can’t wait to watch him fall on his face in Vegas.

Jalen Ramsey to Pittsburgh for Minkah.

Honestly, I think this makes the Steelers worse. Minkah was more important in that defense.
That's a great trade for Miami, depending on how much of each player's salary each team is taking on.

Ramsey had made it clear he wante out, and Miami had traded away their best safety in Jevon Holland, who had demanded top money despite falling off last year.

I reckon Dolfans will be stoked with that trade. Some good young DBs on the roster, depends on how they progress this year.

Apparently the Dolphins had already paid Jalen Ramsay $4m so far this offseason, and agreed to pay another $3m to facilitate the trade.

The Steelers will pay the remaining $26.6m of his contract.

I say good deal for the Dolphins, given that Ramsay was very vocal on his desire for a trade, he was never going to play in aquamarine again.

OK hang on, we actually traded CB Jalen Ramsay, TE Jonnu Smith and a 7th round pick for Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 5th rounder.

Sounds much more feasible, I was wondering how the Dolphins got such grat value in the trade.

Jonnu Smith had a career year last year. Set Dolphins records with 88 catches for 884 yards and 8 TDs.

Sounds great, but he was a glorified slot receiver - a liability in the run game, his blocking skills are negligible.

Interesting going forwards how the Dolphins fare at TE. If they can find a decent replacement, it bodes well. If not, they have traded away the key guy that Tua threw to when Hill and Waddle couldn't break free.

He is not worth that money, no way. Not that good.

He was a beast for the Raiders back in the day, remains to be seen whether he's got anything left in the tank as he's been retired for a year.

Didn't see that one coming!
His rap career was over before it started. He's no AB.

Gotta pay the bills, I wouldn't expect much from him. In it just for a paycheck.

We've had too many players like that recently, hopefully we can get some decent production from him.

He's on a 1 year $5 million deal, so it's not one that'll break the bank if he doesn't pan out. I believe the 6th round pick we send to the Giants for him is conditional too.

EDIT: His salary is up to $5 million, so that likely depends on playing time / production.

He doesn't want to play football, or else he never would have stopped.
Bank account just started shrinking and needed some pay.

Very talented but can be broken mentally during games, teams know it.
Worth a shot at that price for sure, huge catch radius, very athletic.
