Aaron Donald has retired.

Good point. Maybe also pushing chips in to try to move up too. 11 & 23 is a good start if you're trying to get ahead of some teams that you're worried will try and take a QB you like.

You don't see trades like that this far ahead of the draft. Usually they happen when the player the team wants is still there.

Okay I now agree with UEFA's knockout seeding proposal for next year. Seems outrageous one of those 4 clubs in the top half will be playing at Wembley. And it'll probably be Barcelona who have been in decent form of late.

There's the big QB trade we've been waiting for!!

He saw what Favre did to ruin his reputation and took it as a challenge.

There's been a couple of those sprinkled in where I'm just like "okay this is annoyingly hard". On a side note the volume of mini games in this one is incredible. You could spend dozens of hours working though them all.

There are thousands of NPCs who should all be avid QB players. Do the right thing, SE.

Bears basically blew it on any return for Fields by waiting this long. Wouldn't be shocked if he backs up Williams.

Patrick Queen, who only looked like a viable starting LB once he was paired with Roquan Smith, is headed to Pittsburgh to bring them down from within.

I read the group stage pots are based on coefficients. Basically ensuring you get a marquee matchup each matchday (as I believe pot 1 teams have to face two other pot 1 teams). Seeding would then be somewhat influenced by coefficient but I suspect it's the two "group winners" or 1-2 in the overall group stage. I bet they get coefficient in there at some point as a tiebreaker that will likely not be used.

Now to clean up that o-line.

Good for Baker. He earned that type of deal.

Chapter eight start

I think the complaint I have here is that above all it creates a gray area on something that is an actual safety concern for players (studs in the chest). I think I heard the ruling was that it wasn't a penalty because both were playing the ball and the contact was "unavoidable". And while that is a fair interpretation of what happened (since I do agree playing the ball doesn't necessarily require touching the ball first), it seems to me that it rewards a risky, unsafe play by Doku.

That was a great stonewall penalty for Arsenal. They have to be delighted with it. Huge win for them today.

Going to be the classic 10 minutes of stoppage time in this one, eh. Luis Diaz has to make one of those two.

That goal looked very clean to me, well played by both Ake and Stones with a perfect placement on the ball from KDB. I think the look was to see if the ball curled back in to the pitch? Don't think there was anything else to look at.

Chapter seven end

For all the hype he still carries, Jeudy has never cleared 1000 yds in a season which is typically something top WRs manage regardless of QB.

That knockout was vicious .

A somewhat busy week ended with a real blockbuster.

I didn't mind him in Remake, thought his dorkiness was charming. But, man, you cannot escape him in this game.
