# -Subject to coin flip

I'm gunna pick the Colts this year guys.

LOL Diesle, did you intentionally pick two of the ugliest cheerleaders you could find to put in your sig?

Rams are going to win the NFC West this year.

giants definately need to sign asante samuel but they will probably sign jordan babineaux or something. Giants prediction: 6-10

Samuel got a tattoo that says GET PAID or something like that, so yeah I can't see the Patriots putting the franchise tag on him and signing him.

K screw that guy, dont like him anymore

Redskins 16-0

Colts stand to lose Cato June and Nick Harper. Freeney is getting tagged for sure if they cant reach a deal, but i think they'll reach a deal. I dont think they want to lose June and i'm not sure June can get alot more money or not. I mean the Bills paid Larry Tripplett a ton so maybe someone will pay June. June is a great tackeler and a great LB for our system. Harper has become one of my favorite players, but i think we'll lose him. Unless he signs for less then he's worth to stay. Marlin Jackson is ready for a CB spot which makes Harper expendable. I dont like it, but thats business i guess.

I want the Colts to sign Odalius Thomas, but Corey Simon has us so capped strapped, i doubt it.

I want my Cowboys to sign Steinbach or Leonard Davis on the o-line. That or go after Hamlin at safety.

Dominic Rhodes is a free agent also. That sucks. He's probably gone.

Not really a huge load of free agents to choose from this year. I suppose the story of the offseason will be when and where Randy Moss gets traded and the continuing of "musical quarterbacks", with Bledsoe, Garcia, Rattay, etc. find a place to play a year before they go to their next team. Sounds kind of boring to me at this moment.

I can see the Colts repeating next year, especially if Dungy and that coaching staff stay in place. Colts and Bengals look to be two teams to watch out for already come next season.

What what u talkin bout. They are finer then the Colts cheerleaders. :y:

KC should resign Huard. If this is Green's last year maybe he could take over the reigns? Also, Randy Moss to KC? If not maybe Keenan McCardell or David Boston.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre has asked the team to consider acquiring Moss.

Dominic Rhodes will be wearing Green next year. :-\

I don't really know what to think about the Jets here, they are way under the cap apparently though. The Jets really need some depth up the middle. Vilma played his little heart out last year, and the rest of their linebackers kind of stink. Poslusny from PSU is a possibilty in the draft. Kind of dreaming to, but I had a preminission that Warren Sapp will come to the Jets. I dunno if he is a free agent but I definitely see him wanting out of Oakland obviously. New York might be to cold for him though :(

The Jets secondary is decent, it always seems it isn't to hard to find a guy who can play well imediately.

I am already looking at travel plans to Arizona for next February :cool:

-thanks stimes

Also Jets better freaking get Brian Leonard from Rutgers. They never get anybody from New Jersey. He'd be like Hoover in Carolina

<font color=goldenrod>Giants are most likely gonna release Carlos Emmons and sign Lance Briggs (who is best friends with Antonio Pierce).

They are also gonna need another RB. I'm hearing Michael Turner's name alot</font>

Lance Briggs OK, not as good as he's made out to be plus he flourishes in the Bears scheme but I can't see him being that bad. I thought LaVar Arrington was best friends with pierce :shifty: :-\

and yeah michael turner. i dunno. he will probably be really expensive. i really want jacobs to start but i seriously have no idea how he will do.

They were discussing it on Detroit sports talk radio today that the Bears need to get rid of Grossman, but cannot due to the lack of QB free agents that they can acquire

I'd think the Colts would be alright with losing June, you're right he does have good speed at the LB position (which you need in that system) but he seems to miss a lot of tackles. I don't think it would be a huge loss

I hope you are wrong about Briggs going to the Giants, I was kind of hoping the Patriots would take a look at him (I haven't heard anything about that) the dude made like 13 tackles last night.

Brodie Croyle

Also can someone fill me in on why Pats are picking 2 spots ahead of the Chargers even though they beat them in the playoffs?

They got the pick from Seattle I believe.

Thats just dumb to not sign Samuel when you're well underneath the cap and he's just now becoming a big time player. That would seem borderline arrogant. I assume Daniel Grahm is gone too?

I dunno if they feel he is a big time player though, I mean he had a lot of INTS this season but that is not all that goes into it. Its not like he's Champ Bailey out there or something, a lot of teams throw at him...a lot. I mean I would rather they kept him since he is real good, but he got a tattoo that says "GET PAID" so I really don't think he is going to want a reasonable amount of money

Graham will probably be gone aswell,but pretty sure that was part of the plan since they drafted David Thomas in last year's draft (as well as Garrett Mills who was on the practice squad last year)

I am gonna be seriously bummed if the Bengals cut Odell Thurman this offseason. As long as he is on the field there is no way he wouldn't become a top 10 defensive player in the league and he really doesn't seem like a bad guy. He's just a stupid kid who made some bad decisions. He's still ridiculously good at football.

Assman...you from DC or do you just like the redskins....my prediction. Falcons get a season changer in the offseason and go 11-5. 4-2 in division with losses to Tampa Bay and Carolina.

No AssMan hates the Redskins, and for some reason always flips out about how everyone always predicts how good the Redskins are going to be (I dunno who these people are, maybe the voices in his head or something) so he says Redskins 16-0 as a "joke"

I think he is making fun of ESPN or something cause they always say the Redskins "won" the offseason

Well they sign a lot of good talent every year

I really don't think anybody is picking them for the Superbowl

I hope they go 0-16 this year....I used to like them but since they lost to the Giants the Falcons were out of the playoffs.

They do the same thing every year. They go out and spend money on players, but for some reason that organization never equates it into on the field production, ie W's.

If there was no cap they would be the New York Yankees of pro football.

I remeber when assman said "man steve spurrier took the redskins to the super bowl twice man" lmao..and my friend told me at school that the raiders were gonna try to get Vick...if thats so...Trade him for #1 pick or draft Troy Smith 2nd round or earlier and Trade Vick for moss......even if Vick leaves I'll still be a die hard Falcon fan. and the Giants....7-9 my prediction

Anybody know where you can find cap figures? I only know the Jets are way under because Bob Costas said so

Shut up.

The reason I hate the Redskins is because every fucking year they make some huge offseason move and everyone around here acts like it's God's gift to the earth and that the Redskins win the superbowl. There are always columns in the Washington Post by the big sports writers predicting 15-1 seasons.

They are fucking retarded when it comes to their team, too. They made Adam Archuleta, a run stopping safety, the highest paid safety of all time and forced him in to a Cover 2 where he naturally blew (how could they not have seen this coming and figured it out once it did???). They sign more and more good players every year and make them suck, and they just get huge signing bonuses and a smaller salary so everyone wants to play there. Does anyone realize they went 5-11 this year?

Their players are huge assholes too. I dunno how anyone can really like Sean Taylor if they arent a Redskins fan, and I think Chris Cooley is about as hatable is JJ Redick. I think the only player I enjoy on their team is Jon Jansen. Their team just seems really dirty to me.

But their fucking owner is the worst fucking owner ever in the history of sports. He is the greediest bastard I have ever seen. Like parking is seriously like $50 at their stadium. Everything about their team is terrible. I can't explain this anymore.

lol yeah a few years ago the Redskins seriously took every single restricted free agent the Jets had.

Lavernious Coles
Randy Thomas
John Hall
and at least 1 more, and they ended up trading Coles back to the Jets anyway.
