That's the thing, if they trade him before June 1 they lose over $7M in cap room, where as if Crosby is dealt the save over $36M in cap room, so that's more likely to happen if a deal happens with anyone, it's Crosby that gets traded, just not sure why the Vikings would even deal Jefferson, makes zero sense, they'd have to be blown away by a trade offer to eat over $7M in cap room when they're already $48M over the 2026 salary cap, which is if it was only $295.5M, now that we know it could be as high as $305M then that's $9.5M more that they'd be over by, extra $7M makes it around $64.5M if the cap comes in at $305M, just unlikely IMO.
As with Crosby the Raiders already one of the top teams with available Cap space this offseason so why would they worry about Crosby's $36 million in a salary cap dump unless he forces their hands.
Exactly, I don't know why they'd deal their best player unless as you said he forced their hands, he could sit out, but he losses a s**t ton of money by doing that, but it's possible he does, but Idk if they just give him away, they'll want a Khalil Mack like package, as Crosby is better at this point than Mack was IMO, and Mack was/is great.

Still remember them laughing at us for not running Gore at the end of our SB, only for them to lose the SB to the Pats not running Lynch.
Unfortunately if the refs don't get involved I don't see a way Seattle loses to that Pats team. Pats just lucky to be there with all the top teams in the AFC having key injuries or having off years. Seattle had the health and the talent…sucks.
And there is a big difference not running Gore from the 5 or 7 yard line (I forget) as compared to not running from the 1 yard line. Seattle literally gave that super bowl away. They run on either 2nd, 3rd or 4th down and the super bowl is theirs. It has gone down in history as the most heartbreaking super bowl
loss.
I do think the Patriots win this game. I just don't think Darnold will have a good game away from Seattle. He choked last year away at the Rams and this will be his second test playing away from home in the playoffs. I do think Halloween comes early next Sunday in Santa Clara as the ghosts come out yet again for Sam Darnold. Book it!!!
The Baltimore SB irritates me, Harbaugh & Roman refused to run the ball at all on the final 4 plays, no Kap or Gore, just throw it to Crabtree who was a sorry ass receiver as Sherman said he was, even thought it hurt when he said it, he was right, love that guy, miss him.
