That's paper wealth. Ranked 28th and only from the team.

Okay.....I don't care if it's beaver pelts and ivory. 1.3 Billion is a lot of capital. And more than enough to pay a roster and expensive coaches.

How is it the teams around them can afford good coaches but they can't? By hiring McVay's assistants. LaFleur, McConnell and Taylor.

That's easy to say when the Rams have one of the wealthiest owners in the league.

Yeah, the Bears could get better. But that's what happens when you have an old clueless owner and idiot kids.

Literally.

It's kind of amazing these original owner/families who got in for practically nothing and now the NFL is a multi-billion business.

Cool that Thomas Brown gets a chance to be HC...

Good question. There’s nothing else to prove. He should be hanging with his 24 year old girlfriend and playing the grumpy uncle roll to the Manning boys on ESPN Monday nights from his beach house. Not working 100 hours a week teaching college boys.

He got spoiled having Brady as an on field assistant coach AND Hall of Fame player.

He's doing it to get his son a head coaching job. No one is looking his way any other way. Nepotism at its most blatant and shameless.

That being said, I think it was Bill I heard about that said he would teach his college kids NFL football. He all but guaranteed his players would be far more NFL ready than any other college program. It'll be interesting to see if he delivers, and I've always wondered how an NFL structured program would do in the college space. With the NIL, I suspect getting closer to how the NFL is played (and managed) should be expected.

Unless he no longer cares about breaking Shula's record, i have a hard time believing this will happen. Maybe he's decided he doesn't care or maybe this is some kind of leverage...
