NFL 2013 Off-Season Thread

[Tom Guycott]

The Browns are retarded.

Because they keep going after "high value", great white hype quarterbacks that they don't have nearly as much faith in as they pretend to have just to watch them get injured behind a garbage line they never seem to build up? Or a running game? Or WR targets besides the one guy they lucked into? And then, throw said QB under the bus and away when the new sexy emerges from college? And repeat that cycle over again?

You're talking out your ass! That's sound business strategy right there!

Jags signed Mohamed Massaquoi to a two year deal. Well, I guess we know who will be the slot receiver behind Blackmon and Shorts III now. I suppose it is an upgrade from Laurent Robinson.

[Kris P Lettus]

most underrated player in the nfl (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1593788-who-is-the-most-underrated-player-in-the-nfl)

been saying this for years

[Next Big Thing]

There's a difference between underrated and people outside of Louisiana just not giving a fuck about Saints players not named Drew Brees.

[Kris P Lettus]

so much hate

[#1-norm-fan]

Jarius Byrd is the most underrated player in the NFL.

[Skippord]

I agree

[James Steele]

Who is that light skinned mutt who plays for the Saints?

[DaveBrawl]

So apparently Joe Flacco is going to be playing Johnny Unitas in a movie called "Unitas We Stand". Only the scenes about the "greatest game ever played" 58 championship game against the Giants though.

[Kris P Lettus]

they start shooting it here monday

shooting title is "when the game stands tall"

[Kris P Lettus]

also, it's funny that #1 wwf fan and jamessteele commented on Lance Moore cause if dude played for the cowboys he'd be getting $50 mill guaranteed

[Next Big Thing]

Can we get the "NFL" in the thread title capitalized? I don't know why, but seeing it in lowercase annoys the hell out of me.

Hey now! The best four years of my life were in NOLA. Show some respect. Tulane Green Wave in the fucking building.

As a Georgia boy, I just couldn't turn on my Birds. I learned to love the city, hate the team. Kind of like a wife with mother in law you wish would fuck off and die. I'm debating getting tickets myself. I'm not a big wrasslin fan anymore, but the opportunity to see it in 'Nawlins is very intriguing.

Heard that Unitas' family wanted Peyton Manning. Honestly that would have made more sense.

Suck my balls.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pats signed Emmanuel Sanders to a 1 year deal although it won't be official for another 5 days in order to allow the Steelers to match it or not. If the Steelers refuse, they'd get a 3rd round pick from the Pats as compensation.

Pats also resigned Julian Edelman to a 1 year deal.

[Crimson]

Ravens close to signing Rolando McClain..another decent signing. if it's cheap

[screech]

I like the move for McClain, especially since there was a rumor of them getting Urlacher.

[Droford]

I would rather they stay away from urlacher, think hes done

McClain was 1 year $700,000. Id think he either does well and makes a boatload of money somewhere else or he does poorly and ends up in the CFL, UFL or something like that.

He had 99 tackles and 5 sacks in 2011. Only 23 years old....

[screech]

Well now getting Urlacher would be redundant, which is why I'm happy with this move.

[itsmeJD]

Roddy White sounded like a fucking moron on First Take this morning...just wished they'd cut to commercial, come back, and he'd be gone.

[Kris P Lettus]

you seem surprised

[itsmeJD]

you seem surprised

Had I not known better I woulda have figured him to be a Saint with that low intellect. :wave:

[Next Big Thing]

Roddy White says and tweets a lot of dumb shit. He's better seen and not heard.

We'd better leave Kris P alone though itmeJD. Saints just signed left tackle Jason Smith. Never mind that he is a bust and a waste of the 2nd pick. He's going to turn them around just like Payton coming back and Rob Ryan turning that defense from the "drizzling shits" to "mediocre at best." Let's go Saints!

[road doggy dogg]

I'm emotionally torn. I love Legatron so much, and now my Lions have went and signed their own superstar kicker. What is a fan to do?!?!

Steven Jackson and Bradford both had great seasons behind him

It's actually half funny because it's a retarded statement and half funny because I don't think I've commented on Lance Moore at all in this or maybe any NFL thread ever.

Give up. You're awful. Your desperate need to try to get other people to talk about your team because of your massive insecurity in sports fandom and probably life has officially surpassed Droford level with that horrible attempt.

This is all Falcon haters have, but it's ok. According to Roddy White, it's Super Bowl or ummmmmm, you know, uhhhhhhh, yeah, or Bust.

In all seriousness, I look forward to my Falcons raping Drew Brees mouth this year and sending you fuckers back to mediocrity where you belong. :wave:

The Saints' run is an afterthought already.

don't rub it in, Krispy :shifty:

I was a freshman in high school when the cowboys last won a championship..

[Kris P Lettus]

Fluke = 13 win season, retiring 2 HOF QB's in the playoffs, and knocking off the best team in the league in the SB

more flukes please

[James Steele]

I was a freshman in high school when the cowboys last won a championship..

Congrats. My sister's godchild wasn't alive when the Saints won theirs.

[Kris P Lettus]

no one but unicorns and leprechauns were alive when the falcons won theirs cause it's a fucking fantasy

[James Steele]

Fluke = 13 win season, retiring 2 HOF QB's in the playoffs, and knocking off the best team in the league in the SB

more flukes please

13 Wins in a weak division, beating past past-their-prime QB, and playing a great game against an overrated team in the Super Bowl. FFS, the QB for the Colts isn't even with the team anymore. They cut him for some rookie QB.

[Kris P Lettus]

do you read the things you post??

[James Steele]

Holy shit, the Saints ushered in a new era of Super Bowls where we saw new teams like the PACKERS, STEELERS, RAVENS, 49ERS, GIANTS, and PATRIOTS dominate the playoffs and make to the big dance.

[Kris P Lettus]

This message is hidden because James Steele is on your ignore list.

[James Steele]

Congrats! NOLA finally won a Super Bowl, but quit acting like the 2009 season is where football ended and nothing else after that is relevant. The Saints are a different team now other than Brees and (the returning) Sean Payton. They are a good football team, but they aren't the GODS OF FOOTBALL you act like they are. Based off last year, the Saints have more to prove than almost any other team in the league because of how far they fell when faced with a little adversity.

[James Steele]

This message is hidden because James Steele is on your ignore list.

This message is hidden from Kris P Lettus because he is a little bitch.

[#1-norm-fan]

That is fucking retarded.

LOL I didn't even click the story and knew nothing about the fact that Lance Moore was mentioned in it (Mainly because your opinion on the matter means about as much to me as some random shitty Saints player means to me and the rest of the country.)

Jarius Byrd is the most underrated player in the NFL.

You are even talking about it about it a week later, right now, the post ABOUT Lance Moore, that's what is causing what you are saying, right now..

i seriously think you both have learning disabilities

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm talking about it because you randomly mentioned me "commenting on Lance Moore". Which happened where? Holy shit, you seriously can't be so retarded to think you are making sense right now.

It's mindblowing how you're trying to make sense of this. You were better off just continuing to avoid it like when I first brought it up.

[Kris P Lettus]

YOU COMMENTED ON LANCE MOORE BY SAYING HE IN FACT WAS NOT THE MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER IN THE NFL AS I AND THE LINK I POSTED SAID AND THAT JARIUS BYRD IS

kinda feel sorry for you, man

you seem way too bothered by this and are trying very very hard

I'm stating who I think is the most underrated player in the NFL you fucking tool. lol

Authur Jones in car accident

Baltimore Ravens defensive end Arthur Jones was in an appreciative mood Monday morning. Jones' car ended up in a ditch after spiraling out of control upon taking a hit from another vehicle that had swerved into his lane.

"Thank you lord for saving my life today. He has a plan for me. And I guess today wasn't the day to die," Jones tweeted. "Not worried about the car. It can be replaced. I'm just happy I'm still breathing. Sooo grateful."

Fortunate that oncoming traffic was clear, Jones escaped the harrowing accident unscathed. He even participated in voluntary offseason conditioning with Ravens teammates on Monday.

"Arthur is doing great," agent Joe Panos told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Through Panos, Jones said, "I'm happy, I'm healthy, and I'm blessed."

Jones is also expecting a new baby within the week, leaving him feeling especially fortunate to survive. Now he's providing a useful reminder to live life to the fullest because the future is promised to no one.

[Emperor Smeat]

Steelers ended up matching the Pats offer for Emmanuel Sanders so they are keeping him while the Pats are keeping their third round pick.


Jets-Bucs potential trade deal involving Darrelle Revis was put on hold due to medical concerns over revis knee and the Jets wanting to make sure they can snag a good draft pick(s) in a deal.

[Next Big Thing]

The Jones brothers should reconsider this whole driving thing.

Can't wait for tonight's schedule release. My mate and I are planning a road trip for September so gonna plan where we go around which games we'd like to see/stadiums we want to visit.

Ravens/Steelers is usually a primetime game once a year anyway..plus its close enough for some emboldened ravens fans to make the trip..

Panthers got the hardest schedule followed by the Lions while Broncos got the easiest followed by the Chargers.

49ers ended up with the hardest in terms of home games and Broncos for easiest. Rams got hardest for road games and Chargers for easiest.

Pats end up with a harder road than home schedule for next season.

[Kris P Lettus]

The Atlanta Falcons are pushing the pause button on contract negotiations with Matt Ryan.

The quarterback is entering the final year of his deal and due $12 million in 2013. The Falcons don't want a Joe Flacco situation with Ryan playing without an extension reached. But it's time to focus on the draft, general manager Thomas Dimitroff told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's D. Orlando Ledbetter.

"The situation is, as we've mentioned, both parties, we're in a very comfortable situation," Dimitroff said. "We are focused on the draft again. After the draft we'll continue to discuss (Ryan's contract) and I'm sure both parties, Matt and the Falcons are feeling good about making sure that this gets done at the right time."

The organization has been cutting salary this offseason in anticipation of a mega-deal for Ryan. He's started from day one, was named the 2008 offensive rookie of the year, led the team to the NFC championship last year and the Falcons haven't had a losing season since Ryan was drafted.

The deal is expected to surpass Flacco's $120.6 million contract.

"There is no time frame on it right now and I don't want to keep you hanging on it, but I feel confident things are going to be taken care of when the time is proper," Dimitroff said.

Like Flacco, it's not a matter of if - just when and how much.

The Green Bay Packers had the No. 1 scoring offense in the league in 2011, the No. 32 total defense and were bounced from the playoffs in the divisional round. General manager Ted Thompson went out and drafted defense with the first six picks of the 2012 draft.

The New Orleans Saints could be in a similar position. The Saints ranked No. 3 in scoring offense, No. 31 in scoring defense and No. 32 in total defense last season. They missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

The need is clear.

"Certainly we're looking closely at our defense, and that would be a priority," coach Sean Payton said on WWL radio in New Orleans, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. "I would say this: When you start getting into that selection and you see magnets both offensively and defensively that are close to each other on the grade line, it's easy then - if you feel real close about the players - to go with one side of the ball or the other."

The Saints are switching to a 3-4 scheme under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and need help at virtually every position. There's an emphasis on the front seven and a pass rushing linebacker is probably the top priority.

But there's danger in drafting for need only.

"The challenge is when you see the magnet that sits up there much higher than the defensive player," Payton said, "for instance, and then are you just strictly trying to draft a need player as opposed to maybe the best available player. And I think the key is just, what's the gap?

"And so when a player falls or you feel like you have a real high grade on a player, you have to pay attention to that."

The Saints have an offense built to win now. Those offensive prospects better rank much higher if the Saints pass on a quality defender. Ryan needs pieces now, not in 2014 or 2015. Drew Brees, 34, isn't getting any younger and the organization can't afford to waste a season while the defense rebuilds.

RG3 in trademark dispute with, well, RG3

Posted by Mike Florio on April 20, 2013, 9:27 AM EDT

The hottest brand in the NFL has a bit of a problem. Robert Griffin III (better known as RG3 or RGIII) was preceded by Research Group 3 (also known as RG3), a company that makes motorcycle suspension parts.

According to the Washington Post, Griffin and the company are trying to negotiate a “coexistence agreement,” which would allow both to use RG3.

Likelihood of consumer confusion becomes the legal standard in cases like this, and we can’t imagine anyone mixing up the two brands. Unless Griffin starts endorsing motorcycle suspension parts or RG3 comes out with a football-themed product line.

Regardless of how it works out, the situation provides even more proof that Griffin has quickly become a major phenomenon, both in NFL circles and beyond.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The RFA window has ended and Victor Cruz never got an offer. His choices are to either sign his tender from the Giants, sign a long-term deal with the Giants, or holdout.

I would hope he doesn't holdout but you never really know. A holdout might hurt his currently spotless reputation and wouldn't even give him any extra leverage.</font>

Depending on what they do with the two 1st Round picks (#9 & #13), they could end up winning the trade deal in the long run.

Then again this is the same team that once drafted a player solely to prevent the Pats from having him. End result was that player (Gholston) became a big bust for them while the Pats "plan B" pick (Mayo) ended up becoming a cornerstone of their young defense.
