Baker Mayfield traded to the Carolina Panthers for a conditional 5th round pick.
Very cheap for the Panthers as Browns are paying part of the salary plus Baker has agreed to take a pay cut.
Crazy to think that the first and third overall picks from the 2018 Draft, both quarterbacks, are now on the same team, a team that neither was drafted to, whilst both are still on their rookie contracts.

The Browns will be paying Baker Mayfield $588K in Week 1 to try and beat the Browns...

@KiwiMurph just looked at Gamepass. It's now $325NZD. That's getting up there ... but gets all the games. May just sign up with Sky or Spark again, and take the lottery on what is showed - along with all the other sports as well of course.

Well I didn't see this happening.
Despite the no trade clause it actually should make it easier to trade Jimmy G as his salary is now lower (he can wave the no trade clause).
Whilst in theory this gives the 49ers a very strong QB room again - it's tough on Lance who will have to be looking over his shoulder all season.

Expensive insurance policy. I still see the 9ers giving Trey plenty of rope to grow into the position. It probably screws up a few teams who could have used Jimmy to strengthen as well

Allen and the Bills off to a fast start here. Allen has it on a string.
Apparently Allen is the shortest price favourite to win player of the year heading into the start of a season.
-
Dominant second half defensively by the Bills. Allen did his thing passing and even carrying the ball, but I thought the Bills defence really took care of business.
Bills win 31-10

Bears upset the 49ers in the wet.
A bit of a revenge game for the Bears with Fields proving a point to the 49ers who didn't draft him and Dante Pettis (former 49ers second round pick who was cut) scoring a huge TD.
The loss wasn't solely on Trey Lance but this will do little to quell the drama with Jimmy G sitting there as a backup.

interesting first week
Bills show why they are under the most pressure this year. That is a hot team (goddam how good is Vonn still?) and need to win.
Bengals lose week 1 as well
the fucking Giants win!
Kansas City torch the Cards and their wildly overpaid QB
GB has a shocker to openIf MNF goes the way i want it to there will be two Divisions with no winners

At home, in the most Bengals way ever. Two missed kicks to win; a PAT and a 30 yarder. Just insane.
I didn't see the whole game - did Burrow stay upright?
-
Some amazing results to start the season and the NFL and broadcasters will be pretty pleased. Eight games decided by 6 points or less.
@nzzp I do love a good US anthem rendition at their sporting events.

@ACT-Crusader Bucs look classic Tom Brady. Ruthlessly efficient.
-
oh look, the Broncos top side doesn't play a snap in preseason, turns up Week 1 and look rusty as fuck. 3 or 4 red zone entries for nothing from the Broncos.
Lose by a point to a gutsy but limited Seahawks. Great redzone D.

Two turnovers from a yard out, and then the long FG miss. Felt like they should have tried to get closer - second longest FG in history is a big call right?
