Talking NFL and NHL
Seahawks and Canucks Centric

That Mcduffie deal is HUGE money for a CB. Rams have a lot of needs this restricts them this offseason to 19 million in cap. With corner still being their biggest need this will have to be solved. Expecting them to save some cap for resigning Nacua/Young/Turner/Avila next year.

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

It took all game. But the #Packers defense finally got Jameis Winston.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

The Darnold deal with Seattle has no dead money after year 1, an absolute steal if Darnold doesn’t work out for Seattle. An absolute masterclass by John Schneider.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

Love the Bears mindset going into this offseason, get OL pieces and bolster the DL. Ben Johnson is being aggressive, putting a team around Caleb Williams to help him succeed.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

Also worth noting Darnold's deal with Seattle includes 55M guaranteed out of 100.5M with a AAV of 33.5M. If the deal isn't panning out after 2 years, Darnold could be a cuttable option. The deal is low risk, high reward.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

The Seahawks got a steal at QB. Sam Darnold is comparable to Geno, he is 7 years younger making 10M less and still gives the team a chance to compete for a playoff spot. Even if Darnold doesn't pan out the team can draft their QB of the future. #Seahawks

The Chiefs place the franchise tag on G Trey Smith, the tag will be over 26 million. The best free agent guard will not hit the market.

[Vancouver Canucks @Canucks]

Canucks G Thatcher Demko will not return to tonight’s game.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

Demmer :(

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

Pelicans are in “advanced discussions” to land Brandon Ingram as per Chris Haynes.

Would be huge for the Raptors.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

The new Warriors starting lineup looks much improved:

PG - Stephen Curry
SG - Buddy Hield
SF - Jimmy Butler
PF - Draymond Green
C - Trayce Jackson-Davis

I like the aggressiveness by the Warriors to give Steph a reason to resign and a means of competing.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

The NBA has been crazy this deadline, but nothing crazier than the Butler- Heat Saga that has been brewing since the start of the year. Butler has been suspended by the club twice for breaching the rules and he finally finds a place to play.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

Marcus Pettersson signs a 6 year deal for 5.5M AAV with the Vancouver Canucks!

The Canucks lock up their newest defence-man long term.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

Jimmy Butler has agreed to a contract extension with the Warriors, two year - 121 Million dollars.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

The Golden State Warriors have just traded for Jimmy Butler

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

Full trade details:

Spurs Receive: Deaaron Fox and Jordan Mclaughlin

Kings Receive: Zach Lavine, Sidy Cissoko, 3 first round picks, and 3 second round picks

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

Deaaron Fox has just been traded to the San Antonio Spurs in a 3 team deal involving the Spurs, Bulls, and Kings. The Kings land Lavine and 3 first round picks, more details to come.

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

@heer_jaideep 100% 😂

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

How do you trade your franchise player without even letting him know?

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

@heer_jaideep Yeah, doesnt make too much sense unless Lukas injury concern is THAT bad

[Rahul @RahTalksSports]

Mavs GM had “injury concerns” with Luka, so he went ahead and traded for Anthony Davis…. 💀

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

MASSIVE THREE-TEAM BLOCKBUSTER TRADE! 🤯

The Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick.

The Jazz will receive Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2025 Clippers 2nd, 2025 Mavericks 2nd.
