OTAs Begin Today

I’m sympathetic to the National media because they don’t get all the context and this is a prime example.
JJ is very well liked in the locker room.
Everyone knows he has to earn every rep and it’s an uphill battle.
His comments were refreshing… it was real and honest, not… https://t.co/l7IFza3BhG

I felt when the Murray deal went down it was time for JJM and his agent to ask out and get him a fresh start somewhere. The last thing KOC wants come fall is if things are going well and then KM has a bad game and he has fans and media haranguing him about it, i.e. a QB controversy. There's no upside for either party imo.

It is why I said JJ will be traded before week 1

I believe full well that JJ has that locker room. I really do feel that. Maybe it was worth the 1.6 million to get out of your number 10 pick what you expected. It will be interesting, because I feel the team backs JJ.

That’s obviously not the best, but the literal last thing he wants is for either JJM or Murray to leave and do better on a different team than the QB that stays here.

Can you imagine the media if they ship JJM to Pittsburgh or somewhere and he turns in a Drake Maye 2025 type season, meanwhile Murray, Wentz and Brosmer rotate because of injuries and get booted from the wildcard game after a limp effort?
