Last week, Bill Barnwell of ESPN described how in a lottery-like draft "t he most efficient strategy is to be able to win more tickets." The RG3 trade may be the best illustration of that to date, however the losers of Madden 23 coins the deal appear to be willfully ignoring that lesson. Perhaps it will work however the Rams should have a better idea.

The Chargers could trade Philip Rivers, but they'd probably screw that up too.

LaDainian Tomlinson suggests that the Chargers should sell Philip Rivers. According to Tomlinson, the Chargers are in rebuild mode and need to trade Philip Rivers instead of ruin his entire career. Are they realistic?

It makes some sense at first glance. The Chargers are, again the absolute worst team, losing three games in excruciating way by blowing lead in the fourth quarter. Rivers isn't part of the issue. He's completed 68 percent of the passes he throws, 7.8 yards per effort and has 1.110 yards. He also scored seven touchdowns and only one interception.

The Chargers signed Rivers to a four-year extension of $83 million in the year, but his structure in the contract does not make it a prohibitive option for him to be traded. The cap hit doesn't top $22 million until the end of the year, which makes it possible for a team to escape after 2018.

However, the Chargers really, really need every bit of support they can get ... something that they don't have much of following their recent losses including the Bosa standoff, and the threat to alienate fans with the relocation thing. If they could sack Mike McCoy and make the necessary changes in this offseason they might be back in the game sooner than you think. It's a big chance for the team that hasn't produced any good things, on the field or off.

The reason Madden NFL 23 players approved the new CBA despite its apparent problems

Madden NFL 23 athletes voted in favor of the collective bargaining initiative by the owners by the narrow margin of 1.019-959 votes. The majority of Madden NFL 23 players did not cast a vote. Nonetheless, the CBA that will run through the 2030 season was approved by a voting majority. It's what I've been expecting all along but the margin was astonishing.

The agreement was approved in spite of a vocal group of mut coins madden 23 former players on social media and in the union. I'm aware of discussions about players choosing to vote in light of the current situation with coronavirus and the panic in the stock market however I find it difficult to believe. I'm convinced that this CBA was probably always getting approved. Here's why.
