Twenty quick-hitters from preseason Week 3.

quote:




6. As with Bortles, some of the shine on rookie Titan Zach Mettenberger comes from his playing in the Land of Mop-up. Judging by Atlanta-Tennessee highlights, Mettenberger seems as confident on the field right now as any rookie quarterback. His 22-yard line drive on a post route to Justin Hunter was a big-league throw. Looks like the Titans got a big bargain, landing Mettenberger with the 178th pick.




Also, a Patrick Peterson mentioned in his Factoid of the Week section:

quote:

Patrick Peterson signed a five-year, $70-million contract extension on July 29, with a signing bonus of $15,361,000. The bonus came in a lump-sum check, not direct-deposited.

He has not cashed the bonus check yet.

He told me, “I just haven’t gotten around to it.”

That is crazy. Don't most all banks offer a service where you can just take a picture with your phone and deposit it that way?

I'd be as nervous holding that ... as I would a winning powerball ticket.

Yep, with a 6% APR, the monthly interest on $15M is $75,000. I wonder if I could offer to deposit the check for a measly fee of one month's interest.

I'm sure his financial people are looking for the best way to deposit that check. Multiple accounts, investments, etc.

Looks like Mett is still 3rd on the chart, but pretty good write up here: LINK

Anyone with half a brain knew mett was a big league arm and Manziel was not. I said it then... Mett was the best QB available in last years draft. Funny how underrated our guys have been as of late.
