But, who the fuck knows. Harbaugh could coach 3 years, suck then retire. Graham could take us to 5 Superbowls, you don’t know and neither do I.
A new GM in Miami: Dolphins are hiring Packers VP of Player Personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan as their general manager, sources tell me and @AdamSchefter.
Sullivan received high recommendations from people in Green Bay, most notably Matt LaFleur, who works with him daily. Sullivan’s interview was described as exceptional, and the hiring group, including Aikman, was unanimous in the decision.
I'm told the Dolphins expect to make a decision on their new GM by tomorrow. They met with interim GM Champ Kelly on Wednesday, and the other three candidates (Chad Alexander, Josh Williams and Jon-Eric Sullivan) flew into South Florida last night for in-person interviews that are taking place today.
KC dropped to 6-7, losing to Denver not a stretch
Indy losing out after losing Daniel Jones, not a stretch
Chargers losing out will be tough BUT they have a tough remaining schedule
Crazier things have happened.

Wrote for Travis on Locked on, always the chillest dude. Huge fan and living his dream. Weird behavior to only want big dudes covering your team though.
I am sick and fucking tired of seeing a 98 pound lesbian attached to this football team.
Idc about being nice. I want a winning organization, but I also want a feared one too. This is a violent sport, I want alpha energy in every aspect possible. Give me a man’s man.
Thoughts from both sides of this deal:
Eagles: They land one of the top players available at a key position of need. Phillips is only 26 and if this works for the rest of the season, he could have a future beyond this season.
Dolphins: The right play. For a 2-7 team, they need to think future and acquire draft capital when available. If Phillips departed in free agency, they might have landed a solid compensatory pick, but that would not be better than this pick and it would not be until 2027. Good business.
