Reportedly for about $8M/year... not a bad signing, considering I've been hearing stuff like Benjamin possibly getting $7M. I'll take Jones at that price
|
@ABT water your thoughts on Marvin Jones.... I like him but that could just be "misguided fantasy hype"

You pretty much have to overpay in the NFL, especially if you've been shit the last few years. That's how free agency is designed.
The real key to winning is always to build through the draft, get a young core going that way and try to win a title while many of your top guys are in their cheap 4 year rookie contract (see: the Seattle Seahawks). But since Reese is a fucking imbecile when it comes to anything past the first round of the draft leaving the Giants devoid of depth, we now have to rely on free agents. |
Jaguars sign punter Brad Nortman to a 4-year deal. Only noteworthy because Nortman came into the league the same year as Bryan Anger, a punter who the Jaguars had drafted in the 3rd round and who is now a free agent.
Only the Jaguars could invest a high round pick in a position like punter and manage to not even draft a good one. |
Damon Harrison, welcome to the better side of the stadium.
|
Brrrrrrrrrrrock Osweiler to the Texans
|
oh shit
|
Kaepernick to the Broncos now? He seemed to be their back-up plan

Case Keenum sounds like a better idea.
|
Osweiler seems like a big dummy. Turning down the chance to be the starting QB on a team that just won the fucking Super Bowl and should still have a really good defense?
I mean surely the Texans didn't offer THAT much more. |
Didn't Denver offer 4y/$60M? Or something like that. Basically getting $3M more/year, doesn't seem worth it to go from Denver to Houston imo
|
Wonder if Peyton's late season antics and dragging the retirement decision played a role in Brock leaving.
Texans do have a really good defense and were very similar to the Broncos last season in how much they carried the team. The main difference being Texans QBs awfulness managed to be stronger than their defense. |

So the Titans got:
former Texans center Ben Jones Demarco Murray from the Eagles in a trade while swapping 4th round draft picks and Matt Cassel interesting |
Jerry Reese dealing today
|
Vernon got more guaranteed money than JJ Watt, but that's the nature of NFL free agency. Fucking love the moves today.
|
Admittedly though they might want to start planning now for the OBJ cap hit in 2 years. Gonna be insane.
|
Lol can anyone find the bit where ESPN fell for the fake Glazer tweet on a free agent signing? Can't find it.
|
Ugh. Broncos lose Danny Trevathan. He's going to Chicago.
Guy was a bulldog. Loved him. Hoping Elway is gonna keep the more of the core players around. |
Jets grab Matt Forte to replace Chris Ivory. Which seems dumb imo because he had one hell of a season. I would have given him another go.

Broncos, Jets, and Browns all interested in making a potential trade to get Colin Kaepernick. Been rumored the 49ers want at least a 1st Rd pick for any deal.
Jets already considering the strong possibility Ryan Fitzpatrick is leaving which is why they want Kaepernick for Plan B. |
Dolphins sign C.J. Anderson to a 4 year deal. But Denver has a chance to match it.
Miami grabs our RB again. |
What the fuck are the Broncos doing? This is like when both times the Marlins won the World Series I think they pretty much dismantled the team.
|
This always happens in the NFL. Impending free agents on a Super Bowl winning team are always bound to get paid big time.
|
Something like this was probably going to happen regardless of a title or not. Too many quality or high priced players they've stockpiled the past couple of years and now are at the point where they can't keep them without causing more future cap strain.
The Von Miller situation was going to cost them a couple of good players while Elway hinting he wants cheaper deals made probably going to cost them a few more in the end. |
Quote:

Ya. The Broncos attempted to get Brock back and have the ability to match CJs offer. They will right the ship and fill in the pieces they lost.

Dear Cleveland Browns,
Why hasn't Johnny Rehab been released yet? Inquiring minds are eager to know. Thanks, Clockshot. |
Patriots are picking up Chris Hogan.
Amendola, Hogan, Edelman. |
New England Racistriots

Browns make it official. Johnny Manziel is gone.
|
Whow, Kap said he wants to go to the Browns. Career suicide watch.

lol Broncos get Mark Sanchez

Response forthcoming.

I'm sorry ClockShot

Sanchez is a fine pickup imo. He has to be one of the best backup quarterbacks out there. Can't imagine they are done looking for a starting quarterback.

The Courage the Cowardly Dog mega scream does not apply here. Simply this: Whiskey..........Tango............Foxtrot. Elway, what the fuck? The tattooed man, Robert Griffin the has-been, and Ryan "The Beard" Fitzpatrick were all out there. 2/3 legit options (RG3 is either a boom or bust at this point), all could use a fresh start. And you go and trade for the artist formally known as The Sanchise? Quote:
God damn. When I saw this news on my phone, I was literally gonna be sick. My only hope is that Elway pulls a Brian Cashman and does some sneaky move to get a name in before the season starts. Because I don't think ANYBODY wants to come play in Denver with Mark (hey I got to a couple championship games with the Jets) Sanchez at the wheel. C.J. Anderson should just go to Miami now. Rant over, wall punched, :fu:, will try to calm down now. |
Butt seriously. This is a bad move.
|
Johnny Manziel cut wow. He wasn't even a bad player he was young and wats learning. It was just a prime case of the media destroying a kid for stuff off the field that he was allowed to do and many other players do. Despicable
|
Honestly Fitzpatrick would have been the smartest pick-up for a one or two year stop-gap until they could figure out wtf their long term plan was

Colin Kaepernick coming to Brown's baby

Vito, Amukamura is coming to Jax. Thoughts on his play? I think he's good if he can stay on the field.
|
He's a good player, but he's just injury prone as fuck. That he only got a one year deal in this market is likely due in no small part to the fact that he missed 13 games over the last 2 seasons.
Nice guy though, hopefully he plays well and can cash in again next year. |
Martavius Bryants suspended for the 2016 season
Lol steelers |
DeMarcus Ware takes a pay cut and agrees to a restructured deal to say in Denver.
Love ya, man. Bright spot to end the week from a sad start. |
Agents are being told to reject all contracts from the Rams at the moment, as the contracts all say
“The parties hereto acknowledge that this Player Contract has been negotiated and executed in Missouri; that should any dispute, claim or cause of action (collectively ‘dispute’) arise concerning rights or liabilities arising from the relationship between the Player and the Club, the parties hereto agree that the law governing such dispute shall be the law of the State of Missouri. Furthermore, the exclusive jurisdiction for resolving Workers’ Compensation related claims shall be the Division of Workers’ Compensation of Missouri, and the Missouri Workers’ Compensation Act shall govern.” California has a much more pro-employee stance when it comes to things like worker's comp claims, so they were trying to avoid their contracts being governed by those laws. Just in case you had forgotten that Kroenke was a piece of shit. |
How could that even hold up in court if nothing about the team is based in Missouri anymore?
Could see if it was a temporary thing because all the legal paperwork for the moving isn't done yet or something like the Giants/Jets operating in two states but neither is the case with the Rams. |

I know Fitz had a decent year but he can't be asking for that much money right? Dude was a bum for so many years. What the heck is he thinking?
|
Last best chance to get paid. Number of teams need a QB and he had a decent year with a not so decent team.
|
B.J. Raji retiring. Was relevant enough to get into one of those annoying Rodgers Discount Double Check commercials.
|
Ravens sign Eric Weddle. While I'm happy with what the Giants have done this offseason, Weddle's still a guy I was hoping would be brought in.
|
Might be a good move
|
Two big things happened recently in the NFL.
The first being the NFL admitted for the first time there are legit medical links between CTE and football. Previously the NFL would downplay the claims and/or fund pro-NFL research to disprove any definitive links between the two. Quote:

AZ gonna have best defense

Imagine the browns offense Colin at QB and big fast physical receivers in Gordon Pryor and Bowe. Along with Barndige at TE it's gonna be lit

Miami is bringing in Chris Johnson for a visit since they lost out on C.J. Anderson.
Ha. So glad he's still in Denver. |
I like the move. Makes a lot of sense on a 1 year deal.

I said if they get colin kaepernick you fucking cunt. Brown's keep letting people go they better not fucking let josh gordon go or there will be he'll to pay

Brown's will probably draft one of these can't miss QBs only to have them miss repestedly
|
Saints sign James "Lil' Animal" Laurinaitis.
Not a bad signing after leaving the Rams as the all-time leading tackler. |
Broncos beef up the o-line and sign Russell Okung.
Nice move, Elway. |
After missing out on both Okung and Penn I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants wind up going O-line in the first round for the 3rd time in 4 years (and the 2nd year in a row using a top 10 pick on the OL).
Really underwhelmed by most of the OL prospects though, would prefer to just go with another defensive upgrade or even WR and look for OL help in the 2nd or 3rd. |
Miami wasn't interested in Chris Johnson. He's back in Arizona on a 1-year deal.

Some NFL news with one being pretty bad at the moment.
Quote:
Chiefs proposing for NFL owners to vote on a new rule after it failed to be considered by NFL's competition committee. It involves QBs no longer allowed to throw passes if they fall to the ground regardless if they were touched or not. Being dubbed as the "Peyton Manning Rule" due to how it swung a playoff game between the Steelers and Broncos last season. Quote:
Ejections for two personal fouls in a game rule ended up getting passed by the NFL's competition committee for vote during the upcoming owners meetings. Proposal itself got water downed on what counts towards the ejection requirement for fouls though. |
I don't think the owners want their players off the field.
|
The Ravens want eligible players to have to wear vests over their jerseys to indicate theyre elligible. I know the refs fucked the Ravens over twice in those calls but that has no chance of happening and is honestly stupid.
|
Ravens still crying about big bad Billy
|
Why is it that QBs inspire these new rules?
|
Droford...criticizing the Ravens? Move the Doomsday Clock to 11:58.
|
The Colts had already said that nobody would wear #18 again after Peyton left the team, but now Irsay made the number retirement official and a statue will be built outside of Lucas Oil Stadium.
