Raiders expected to fire offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave and promote QB coach Todd Downing as their new OC. Main reason appears to be due to Musgrave not willing to go more heavy in rushing attack when the team started to struggle on the offense after Carr got hurt.

Vance Joseph is the new Broncos head coach.

Jumped in here to see if anyone cared that the Chargers were moving and got to read thru Fan hammering Droford about the Ravens lol.
I see Droford is just as blind a homer here as he is in the mlb thread |
I don't like the Chargers moving to LA but I completely understand. If San Diego doesn't want to build a stadium then it their loss. At least the Raiders won't be in LA now. Hopefully they can get a stadium built in Oakland although I do like the sound of Las Vegas Raiders.

I'm not a huge football guy. I know that they've been trying the last number of years to get a downtown deal done, and even went as far as trying to add on a waterfront property as part of an extension of the convention center to benefit comic con.
Little did I know they've been on a year to year lease for 16 years. That's ridiculous. Especially when the NFL has made it clear they would bring the Super Bowl here regularly should a new stadium be built. The biggest clash was ownership wanted downtown and public officials wanted to rebuild on the current property. It sucks since I am a casual charger fan but looking at it objectively it's the city's fault and more so the publicly appointed officials for consistently not budging and calling ownership's bluff. Now they have egg of their face. But of course fans are blaming ownership. There's also this silly claim that the Chargers won't have a fan base in LA. Even though up to a 3rd of their season ticket holders reside in the Orange county area. No reason to think they won't maintain that part of the fan base moving forward. |

Chargers biggest break was Raiders deciding they'd rather be in Vegas than LA for relocation. Was rumored a bit the Chargers might have considered moving to Oakland if the LA option was closed. |
I'm guessing this means Philip Rivers will announce his retirement in the near future.

Rams hired Sean McVay as their new head coach and new NFL record for youngest head coach ever.
|
Quote:
I've heard they need to rebuild starting at quarterback anyways. |
Besides hiring a new head coach, Rams also hired Wade Phillips to be their new defensive coordinator today.

Quote:
|
Good. Didn't want him to go to Washington.
|
Damn. There goes that Broncos defense.
|
Why did he leave Denver to go to the Rams for the same job?
|
Money I guess? Though I can't imagine why Denver wouldn't break the bank to keep him.
|
Quote:
Yep. Bad enough that we let Mike McCoy crawl back to us to be the new OC. Unless we grab a genius like Dick Lebeau or Mike Nolan to run the defense, that mile way wall is getting knocked down to a white picket fence. |

Pats keeping Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator for next season. Was supposedly a big candidate for a head coaching job next season but only the 49ers job remained left and he didn't want it.
|
Broncos promote Joe Woods to defensive coordinator.
Pfft. |
49ers rumored to be naming Kyle Shanahan as their new head coach but can't officially hire him till after the Falcons season ends. Only other real option was Seattle's Tom Cable but Cable rejected the offer and wanted to stay in Seattle.
NFL currently rumored to be fining the Seahawks a draft pick due to the team failing to properly report injuries on the team. Quote:

Pats might not be the most despised team in the NFL anymore based on a recent report about the NFL being livid the Chargers decided to move to LA.
Turns out the NFL never actually wanted 2 teams to be in LA this quickly even though it was implied they did during the talks involving the Rams, Raiders, and Chargers. Might have been a huge reason why the Chargers/Raiders shared stadium never had strong support with the owners as an option. Also gave them the most money to stay out of the 3 teams even though it wasn't close to bridging the gap of money needed. Rams struggling in their first season in LA in terms of support was a huge reason why things quickly went sour for the league. Quote:

Steelers might be getting in trouble with the NFL due to the league thinking they didn't properly disclose Le'Veon Bell health status for the AFC title game. Basis seems to involve Bell revealing he's been dealing with a groin injury for weeks while Steelers coach Tomlin put him as a healthy scratch for several practices.

Casino mogul who is the main reason why the Raiders are moving to Vegas recently pulled out of the deal he had with the team.
Apparently its due to recent terms the Raiders proposed for the stadium which would have meant less power and money for Sheldon Adelson. Raiders now need to come up with an extra $650 million in order to honor their side of the stadium deal made with the city. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...move-las-vegas |
No way Raiders are gonna pick up Adelson's end. Don't think they got the cash.
Mark Davis ought to call Wynn or MGM and make a pitch. One of 'em is bound to bite. |
lol
|
Another big investor recently pulled out of the Raiders' Vegas deal with this time being Goldman Sachs bank. Now the Raiders owe even more money on the new stadium unless they can find a new rich investor or group soon.
The bank was meant to be a backup plan in case the stuff with Adelson fell apart but since they have very close financial ties with Adelson, they decided to leave the Raiders than risk future business with Adelson. Quote:
|
Deal's pretty much dead now.
Might as well withdraw the relocation paperwork at this point. |
Will the fans even accept them back after this?
|
Current trade rumors regarding Tony Romo tease at Bills and Chiefs being the teams likely to get a deal done for him.
Meanwhile Browns are interested in a potential trade to get get Pats Jimmy Garoppolo. |
Ladies and gentlemen my Patriots are once again super bowl champions
|
Why don't you just say you are a fan of all teams? Would be easier for you.
|
greatest SB ever imo
|
The past decade has been littered with great Super Bowls. Only one full-on suckfest (DEN/SEA), and DEN/CAR was kinda mediocre too.
But the rest of these games have been tighter than my asshole. |
I would be ok if Carolina and Seattle stayed away from the SB for a good while
|
They will
|
PATS WILL....NOT
|
Watching the SB, it was around the beginning of the 3rd quarter that I sighed and signaled the start of the comeback. I knew it was going to happen, but not as magical looking as it turned out to be. Good on them for destroying the Falcons who should have never been there in the first place<-- bias GB piss
|
fuck the pats browsn ftw, go cleveland.
|
Giants released Victor Cruz with the reason related to cap issues. Had they kept him, would have been a $9.4 million hit on the cap and by releasing him, they save $7.5 million for other needs.
|
Could see the Ravens going after him
|
Seahawks escaped the Wrath of Goodell in regards to them hiding legit injuries from the league. Got off with just a warning instead of the potential loss of a 2nd Round draft pick.
NFL found out they were hiding a serious injury Richard Sherman was suffering and were listing different injuries and/or reasons for his official status in order to stay eligible for games. Only noticed the deception when the Sehawks suddenly changed his injury to something different one week. Quote:
|
swahawks probably sucked Goodell's dick
|
Yeah they must have had to do it hard. Goodell has been limp since the SuperBowl.
|
Cut my music
I hate the Seahawks with a passion for rivalry purposes, but I respect if Sherman puts his life force on the line to win some games. We don't give enough props to the ones that tough it out. The game is getting too soft to have some crap like this floating over their heads. |
Darrelle Revis facing a possible NFL punishment to go on top of the big legal mess he's currently involved.
Got into a fight recently leaving two guys unconscious resulting in him getting 4 felony charges and 2 misdemeanor charges including terroristic threats. |
They fought him in Pittsburgh is the new "they shot me in Denver" from joey porter

Some recent NFL news:
* Jets released Darrelle Revis although team states it was due more to costs reasons than his recent legal mess. * Jets rumored to be interested in signing Colin Kaepernick once he opts out of his deal with the 49ers. Browns were also rumored to be a possible team interested but they ended up deciding to look elsewhere for a new QB. * Chris Long is leaving the Pats after just 1 year with the team. Pretty much said its due to him achieving everything he wanted to do there with going to the playoffs and winning a ring. * According to reports, Pats are keeping Jimmy Garrappolo for at least next year and Belichick wants to raise his trade value price to a kings ransom level. * Both the Vikings and Raiders are currently interested in signing Adrian Peterson. Vikings are only interested if they can get him for less than what his previous deal was paying per year. * Steelers resigned James Harrison to a new 2 year, $3.5 million deal. |
Vikings resigning him does make sense. Paying AP $18M made no sense at all. Wouidn't be surprised to see him back
|
So that James Harrison contract will take him through his age 39 and 40 seasons. He's found the fountain of youth.
He spends like $3k a day rehabbing his body during the season and it shows. |
$3k a day for steroids is a lot. I hope they paid him well.
|
Raiders move to Vegas may be salvageable. They found a new financing partner in Bank of America to cover the portion Sheldon Adelson was supposed to pay before he backed out.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...-vegas-stadium |
Ravens might get Torrey Smith back if they cut Mike Wallace. They'd probably save a few million and get simular production so it seems smart thing to do.
|
Brandon Marshall :love:
|
Now that is a way to fill Cruz's spot.
|
Pats-Colts trade ended with Pats getting TE Dwayne Allen and a 6th Rd pick while Colts got a 4th Rd pick in return.
Pretty much is replacing Martellus Bennett who is gone baring some sudden changes for the Pats. |
The Ravens are getting ravaged..its not funny. Wagner to the lions
Juszczyk to the 49ers.. Why the fuck do the 49ers want to give a FB 5million a year when they will run an offense that uses a FB even less than usual. Dumervil released They did sign Tony Jefferson so they'll have 2 of the top safeties in the league..Might help if they did something for the offense though |
Don't worry, the Ravens will repeat this year with the best qb on the planet, Flacco.
|
Danny Woodhead replacing Juice. Seems like a decent lateral move but they're also cutting Ledarius Webb.
|
Kirk Cousins wants out of D.C. Went to Snyder to ask for a trade.
|
Brock Osweiler to the Browns lol
Texans are going after Romo. Good luck with that. |
Why would the Browns even want to do that deal?
Texans not only managed to get rid of Osweiller, but they also freed up $16 million for a potential Romo deal. Only real loss was having to give away a 2nd Round pick to the Browns. |
Browns are desperate, and had the cap space.
As long as my Broncos are not anywhere near the Romo talks, I'm happy. |
Why do you not want Romo? If he stays healthy dude is a beast. Unless you want Cutler back ><
|
If Browns still want Jimmy Garoppolo, being rumored the minimum price from the Pats is the #1 pick this year and a 2018 1st Round pick.
|
Quote:
Nope. Don't want Cutler back. Unless some sucker team picks him up, he's got zero value. I wouldn't mind taking a risk on Kirk Cousins. But his price will be too high. So, unless John Elways works some magic, I'm content with Trevor Siemian back behind center. Unless Paxton Lynch beats him out during the pre-season. |
I'd take my chances on Romo staying healthy. If he does, Denver is way better than they would be with anyone else under center.
|
I dunno man. Romo seems like the best option for a team with superbowl potential.
|
Best QB riff raff since Manning. Not to say Romo is anywhere close. It's still all about the Pats.
|
Actually, very little of it is about the Pats since neither Romo or Manning ever played for them and they have had minimal action so far in free agency.

NFL dealing with another lawsuit by former players this time regarding teams purposely being aware and active in the abuse of meds in the league.
Some of the allegations include teams purposely withholding info from players on how addictive certain drugs were, some team doctors not having legit medical certificates for certain drugs being prescribed, and some team medical staffs caring more about making sure players kept playing than their overall health. Also lots of violations regarding Federal drug laws. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...d10_story.html |

According to ESPN, Cowboys are rumored to be pulling Tony Romo off of the trade market. Main reasons are due to nobody else really wants to take on his contract unless he took a huge pay cut and Cowboys honoring Romo's request of only being tradeable to a few teams.
Once Texans backed out of possible trade talks, made it almost impossible for a trade to happen any time soon. Only other major team was the Broncos but were not as interested in doing a trade since they rather grab him for free. Fox Sports also trying to convince Romo to retire and sign an announcer deal with them instead. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...tion-tony-romo |
Quote:
did the Browns seriously take Osweiler jesus fucking christ Cleveland |
They did. Rumor is they already want to cut him lol
|
From the sounds of it they basically just did it for the 2nd rounder as a salary dump for Houston, which makes a little more sense
Still, jesus fucking christ Cleveland |
DeMarcus Ware calls it a career.
Thanks for everything from a Broncos fan. Best damn tag team partner Von Miller ever had. |
DeMarcus Ware was even better than he will get credit for. He should be discussed with the best of all time. Glad he got a ring.
|
Ware was frustrating as hell to watch the Giants have to play twice a year. Definitely headed to Canton eventually.
|
And that was while the Cowboys defense was just awful. You really only had to worry about Ware and he was still a nightmare.
|
Yeah, Ware was the goods
|
Digging the Rams offseason so far!
|
Glad to see the Cowboys not re sign their secondary. Have hated that group for a,while.

Oakland submitted a new plan to the Raiders to help sway the team to stay instead of leave for Las Vegas.
Basically the stadium would cost less than the Vegas planned stadium but Raiders wouldn't need as much money on their end for the deal and don't have to worry about sharing the new stadium with the Oakland As. Only problem is the new stadium wouldn't be ready till 2021 at the earliest and league is still expected to pick the Vegas plan. Even offered a reduced relocation fee to keep Vegas on board with the plans. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...n-keep-raiders |
Sucks for Oakland. That shit is rigged. The NFL wants a team in Vegas. They wont let Oakland keep that team.
|
Pretty fitting the system is rigged. Games in Vegas will probably be rigged for the house.
|
City of Oakland had all the time in the world to provide the Raiders & Athletics with a new stadium. Or even a plan to overhaul renovate their current stadium. Not a baseball or football season goes by where you don't hear a horror story about pipes bursting in the locker room or sewage flooding the dugout at O.co Stadium.
Raiders want out, Athletics are looking for a way out. It's not rigged at all, in my opinion. Cities these days just not gonna play ball (no pun intended) with sports teams. Others are are willing to complement them. This is just another one of those cases. |
How much money does the owner of the Raiders have?
And what services would be cut for this deal to work? It's a bloody con game. Hell, Atlanta has been conned twice here recently by this horse shit. |
Owners have approved a Raiders move by a 31-1 vote. Miami was the lone dissenting vote.
|
Nice.
