NFL 2013 Off-Season Thread
 

So with the playoffs set, what transactions do you want non playoff teams to make??

New coach??

Draft trades??

Free agent signings??

As far as the Saints are concerned, they def need to do something with Spags defense.. It seems we have the talent on every level (all 4 of our starting d-line are former first rounders) but his safe zone scheme doesn't work with who we have..

As much as I'd hate it, I can see them trading Pierre Thomas.. He has 2 years left on his deal for just under $3 mill a year.. Don;t get me wrong, the guy is a beast and is prolly one of the best screen RB's in the league, but I think we could keep Sproles, Ingram, Ivory, and Cadet..

I can also see getting rid of Devery Henderson.. He has been a great speedster and a big time deep threat for years but this was his last year on his contract and we have a younger, faster, deep threat in Joe Morgan..

Need to see if the NFL will repay any of the draft sanction they put on us, since they pretty much renigged on every other punishment they bought down..

So, what do you want yr team to do in preperation of the 2013 season??

Shurmur and Reid are done.

Bears fire Lovie Smith..

Andy Reid will go to Chicago now..

Saints need to sign Lovie as the D Coordinator..

Norv Turner and GM AJ Smith will be gone in SD

Chan Gailey gone.

Other than NFC South, the Saints play AFC East, NFC West, the Cowboys and the Bears..

Body Count:

Head Coaches

Lovie-Bears
Reid-Eagles
Crennel-Chiefs
Gailey-Bills
Shurmur-Browns

GM's

Tannenbaum-Jets
AJ Smith-Chargers

Wouldn't be surprised if Andy Reid went to Cleveland for a fresh start. Lower expectations in Cleveland and he's got some solid talent to build on.

Jets surprisingly are keeping Rex Ryan.

Got rid of the OC and GM though.. I like Rex..

Andy Reid is rumoured to be flirting with Arizona. Lovie Smith in Kansas City/Philly are possiblities.

Ron Rivera better be packing his shit up. Mike Smith in Atlanta could be the surprise playoff Termination in an ungrateful Atlanta Georgia.

I hope Dallas hires a good OC, gets the interior OL fixed, get at least 1 good safety in the draft/free agency, and get a good young QB to push Romo and prep for the future. The Cowboys have about a 5 year window (tops) with this core nucleus of guys. If Romo can't do better with a good OL and handle the pressure of a young QB nipping at his heels, it is time to move on.

I'd also like Jerry Jones to retire/die and fire Garrett, but those are both unlikely and really mean thoughts.

What You'll get, Steele, is a Romo Extension, Jerry Jones inventing a way to be immortal and run the Cowboys forever and another wide receiver in the draft.

Congratulations! Your team just became the Raiders.

:lol:

Fuck you...because it will probably become true.

lol K4L Steele.

Niners finally waive Brandon Jacobs. No team can pick him up and play him during the playoffs.

<font color=goldenrod>The Giants are obviously going to cut David Diehl, plus Will Beatty, Kevin Boothe, and Sean Locklear are all free agents. I really think the Giants need to draft an offensive lineman (preferably a tackle) in the first round this year. It's been seriously overdue.

That being said, Jerry Reese never uses his first round pick to draft for need. He always goes for the highest player on his board regardless of position. As cliché as it is to say, a defensive end in the 1st again wouldn't surprise me as a good pass rush is the heart and soul of the Giants defense. Osi will leave via free agency and Tuck could potentially be cut. A lot of mocks have Mingo from LSU falling to the Giants. I'd love that actually.</font>

I'm going to be sad to see Diehl go. Dude was great for so long.

I really want the Jets to take Barkley at 15, just for the reaction of Jets fans getting another USC QB.

Reid in Chicago makes sense. He loves airing it out and maybe he can try to be the Holmgren to Cutler's Favre.

<font color=goldenrod>Since I'm really bored, here's my take on the Giants' impending free agents:

UNRESTRICTED
-WR Ramses Barden: He actually showed some promise in the Carolina game but then wasn't really given anything to do the rest of the year. He'll go to another team and will probably get more playing time.
-T Will Beatty: Would like to keep him, but admittedly I don't really know what other offensive tackles will be available in free agency.
-TE Travis Beckum: Gone. Had a long TD against Green Bay last year. That's basically the only contribution he made in his entire Giants career.
-TE Martellus Bennett: Would like to keep him. Supposedly he'd take a discount to stay. Nice red zone threat, also he could recruit his brother to sign as well. As a bonus - he gives hilarious interviews.
-DT Rocky Bernard: Could go either way. He's not particularly good but depth along the defensive line never hurts. I imagine he's only looking for a 1 year contract.
-LB Chase Blackburn: I love Chase and will always appreciate his interception in the Super Bowl last year. That being said he seems much better suited to special teams. Not sure who else is available to fill the hole at middle linebacker though.
-G Kevin Boothe: Would like to keep him, he can play several positions and is pretty solid all around.
-QB David Carr: I'd keep him. Why not? They're probably fucked if Eli ever gets hurt, but I'd rather have a veteran in an emergency instead of some rookie.
-WR Domenik Hixon: Fair play to him for staying healthy. He's certainly not a bad guy to keep around for punt returns, but offensively his impact will be scaled back with Randle now clearly the #3 WR.
-T Sean Locklear: He brings a nice veteran presence, I wouldn't mind keeping him around.
-RB Kregg Lumpkin: Gone. Was only brought in for an emergency.
-TE Bear Pascoe: Wouldn't mind keeping him just because he has an awesome name.
-S Kenny Phillips: Unfortunately he's probably a goner. He's been maligned by injuries but is probably still in line for a big payday. Not sure he's in the Giants' price range.
-LB Keith Rivers: He was decent when he played, but he just couldn't seem to stay on the field. I seem him ending up on another team.
-DT Shaun Rogers: Forgot he was even on the roster. He might just retire.
-RB Ryan Torain: Gone. Same exact deal as Kregg Lumpkin.
-CB Justin Tryon: Most likely gone. He's not really anything more than depth. Got completely burned every time he was forced into the game.
-K Lawrence Tynes: He doesn't have that strong of a leg, but I'm still pretty sure the Giants will keep him due to lack of options. Just can't see Reese drafting a kicker.
-DE Osi Umenyiora: Easily gone. He's been asking for a significant pay raise for years and despite his age he'll finally get his chance to get it from another team. He came across as a huge asshole at times, but I'm still going to miss him.

RESTRICTED
-RB Andre Brown: Proved to be a solid goal line back, so he's worth keeping. Assuming Wilson is given more work next year, it could be a fun 3 RB system with Bradshaw, Brown, and Wilson.
-S Stevie Brown: What a find this guy was. No way Reese doesn't keep him, especially with Phillips probably departing.
-WR Victor Cruz: Slam dunk keeper here. He proved that 2011 was no fluke. I know the Giants' cap situation is tight, but I really hope they find a way to give him his much-deserved pay raise.</font>

Will Andy Reid keep Kevin Kolb?

And if so will that finally push Roxer and DaveWadding over the edge?

What is this bullshit? Season's not over, fuckheads.

K now the season's over

Congrats Droford, screech, and Rock Bottom on your team's big win.

Also on behalf of Christians everywhere, I apologize for Ray Lewis' antics. We're not all like that. Some of us are actually quite nice.

you mean you don't all seek out cameras to cry into?

sounds like bullshit to me

All things are possible.

With God, I mean.

All things are possible with God.

Without him... well you saw the game last night.

Bunch of heathens from New Orleans and a bunch of super heathens from San Francisco get together. That blackout was no accident.

Eagles set to sign Dennis Dixon very soon, according to local radio.

Guess that squashes the Alex Smith rumors.

If I were Alex Smith, I'd be pushing for a trade to KC. The fan base would be welcoming, Andy Reid is the coach and there are some pretty good offensive weapons with Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe (assuming he reups or is franchised).

I could see him doing well in KC, also.

Pointless post kinda, but we sell stylus pens now and I wanted to test one. Works!

-Colts trade for Darrell Revis

Jets should trade Revis to the Niners for Alex Smith and 2nd round pick. Now. Please. So I can stop crying.

-Saints sign Revis and Reed

I think the Ravens will probably get flacco to sign a back loaded contract in such that they'll be able to keep ed reed and boldin
