The #Titans and All-Pro Jeff Simmons agreed to a deal making him the highest paid DT in NFL history, per me & @MikeGarafolo.
The 3-year, $105.8M extension with $100M guaranteed and was negotiated by Todd France and A.J. Stevens of @athletesfirst. Confirmed on IG by @toddfrance_
I think the Eagles should pay Jalen Carter, but IF they were hesitant to pay him and wanted to include him in a Maxx Crosby trade, here are some trade ideas:
Trade 1:
Eagles Receive: EDGE Maxx Crosby
Raiders Receive: DT Jalen Carter
EDGE Nolan Smith
Trade 2:
Eagles Receive: EDGE Maxx Crosby
Raiders Receive: DT Jalen Carter
EDGE Nolan Smith
2027 3rd round pick
Trade 3:
Eagles Receive: EDGE Maxx Crosby
Raiders Receive: DT Jalen Carter
2028 1st Round Pick

@JeffPassan Dombrowski at the Trade Deadline:
"You know, if you think about it, we made some pretty serious acquisitions. We brought in Derek a few weeks ago, we'll have Adolis back fully healthy. Those are some big moves that will really help this baseball team in the second half."
I still believe in Painter, because no way what we saw 2-3 years ago wasn’t real. Unfortunately the year after injury always felt like a potential dud, but I didn’t think it’d get this bad.
As much as I've been opposed to sending him back down, it needed to happen.
7.06 ERA and just gave up 6 in 2 innings against the Marlins.
Will be interesting to see how they decide to replace him in the starting rotation
Following today’s game against the Miami Marlins, the Phillies optioned RHP Andrew Painter to Lehigh Valley (AAA). A corresponding roster move to replace his spot on the 26-man roster will be made tomorrow.

In all honesty, this is the best path forward. Youre not going to get anyone who can contribute at the same level as Paul George in any trade.
The biggest issues with the Sixers have been depth, health, and forward play. Draft a solid forward at 22 and bring in good depth
