Trent Richardson needs knee surgery.
His chances of making our roster have gone from microscopic to zero.
Justin Forsett, Kenneth Dixon, Javorius Allen and Lorenzo Taliaferro should be our four.

We'd tidied the wardrobes up so I'd forgotten about this shirt until I came across it the other day.Originally Posted by Gray Fox
I got in touch with the US NFL store about the issue and they credited my account with $10 without seeing the shirt. They said normal practice is exchange or refund but as they all went in the sale(they would being reduced from $300 to $20) they could only offer a refund. It's technically not worth all the hassle as I'd only get the $20 back I think, no shipping costs/tax. So I thought fuck it and bought some spray to put on it which supposedly removes dye that has run and then put it on a wash.
Other than a couple of tiny specks which are hard to spot it almost entirely came out. Basically gave me my shirt back. Still maintain that it's awesome, but I'll be washing it separate to everything else just in case that dye decides to run again.
It's been revealed what the mistake in Wade Phillips' ring was:
I was thinking an extra L in the name...

You can vote on NFL.com for the "best game of all time" and the top 3 are going to be put on Youtube. I don't know anywhere near enough about historic games to vote, and I wouldn't want to watch something I've already seen, so I won't bother, but seems pretty good. Hopefully something I've not seen before will make it.

Woof.
It just got slightly harder for the Chargers to build a new stadium. They now need a 2/3rds majority vote rather than a simple 51% in their favour now.

Also just in case any team wanted to take a punt on Manziel, he's banned for 4 games after essentially no showing the players union meetings(they were there to try and fight for him) involving the case.
Rolando McClain suspended for 10 games.
The Cowboys wont have shit.
Oh and Darren Waller who we (fuck you John) drafted the other year has been suspended for 4 games. He was a long shot to make the team especially after we asked him to move to TE but that's pretty much sealed his fate.
Dr. Z week on MMQB has been ace. It's all worth a read, especially if you've not read his stuff before, I'm currently reading his all-time teams.

Can't believe Zimmerman had the stroke so long ago. He used to be the one writer I'd look forward to every week. Time absolutely flies.
Brady suspension stands.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...ains-suspended
I'd let it stand, they'd lose to the Cards even with Brady and then their next few games are winnable even without him.
This afternoon is the deadline for franchise tagged players. If they don't sign by 4pm ET then they either have to sit the year out without pay, or play at the one year tender rate.
Players still not signed:
Kirk Cousins
Von Miller
Alshon Jeffery
Eric Berry
Justin Tucker
Muhamamad Wilkerson
Trumaine Johnson
By the sounds of it only Miller is close to signing. And signing for $114m and $70m guaranteed by 2018 at that.
I hate this thread because it reminds me my LOLphins still exist
Tucker is off next season unless they offer him a deal today.
Tom Brady has also given up and will serve the ban.
He's still not admitting any wrong doing either. Not that I ever thought he would. His ban is basically the entire of September plus 3 days of October and in that time, he is allowed no contact with the team. Might be a little rusty his first game back but that may be wishful thinking.
The Cousins and Jeffery situations are interesting. The Redskins are still to be convinced Cousins is the real deal despite finishing the season on fire and aren't too keen on handing him anything long term until he proves it next season. We'll see how he deals with that pressure.
Jeffery though is a known quantity. His ability says he should be getting a good pay day, but his being likely to be injured by a slight breeze would suggest most of his offer wouldn't be guaranteed. I don't think they'll end up agreeing.
His game back is against the Browns, he'll be fine.
Miller and Broncos have agreed on 6 years $114m. $70m guaranteed.
And yeah, RIP in pieces, Browns.
Ravens and Tucker have come to a 4 year $17m deal with nearly $11m guaranteed.
Chiefs and Berry have failed to agree. The Chiefs wanted Berry to pay for a disability policy that named the club as beneficiary. He said no.
Good deal that, best kicker in the league and we've locked him up for not too much.
No surprise that the Miller deal got done. It'll probably stick in Elway's craw a bit given this is the first big negotiation with the Broncos where he seems to have felt the need to back down but it was the right thing to do so at least he's not a total control freak.
Arian Foster to the Dolphins is happening.
Just seen the Packers and Bears are doing the colour rush thing in October
I've actually liked the colour rush uniforms.
All 32 are doing it this year I've just read. If this chart is correct there's some strange colour choices too.
http://mweb.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...ust-get-leaked
That signing might make them a little bit watchable.
Why have a 'colour rush' and put us in fucking silver.
This had better look good.
Le'Veon Bell is looking at a 4 game suspension for missing a few drugs tests. That'll change some drafts up
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...011-sf31516011
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...ded-four-games
Josh Gordon has been reinstated, albeit after he has served an additional 4 games out. He last played in December 2014 and he'll be back on October 9th. I wonder how long until he's caught again.
Also a few players have decided to retire:
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...ement-from-nfl - Phil Loadholt
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...ement-from-nfl - Eugene Monroe
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...seasons-in-nfl - Darnell Dockett
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...nfl-retirement - Greg Jennings
However one retired player is coming back:
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...-reinstatement - Anthony Davis.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...l-ot-jake-long
We've signed Jake Long which is a great move, assuming it's for close to the veteran minimum. The geezer has talent when he's not injured.
Also, Randy Gregory is facing another ban:
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...nal-suspension
He was already set to miss the first four games of the new season for failing a drugs test.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...eyear-contract
Fitzpatrick has gotten a contract. One year $12m with a chance to make another $3m.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...elease-request
Nick Foles has been cut by the Rams.
Andre Johnson is doing a tour of the AFC South by signing for the Titans:
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...nnessee-titans
Jags next season to complete the set.
Also Jake Long wont be joining us as he declined to sign the injury waiver.
"This is the healthiest and best I've felt in probably about five, six years," Long said. "My knee's back. I've just been working out, feeling good and ready for the opportunity when it comes along."
Clearly he knew he was chatting bollocks or believed it was only a matter of time until it gave out again.
That's my number 1 pick in the draft sorted then. Andre Johnson can't let me down again!
DeAndre Hopkins has gone on official contract holdout. In other words, he wants a new deal and wont take part until he gets one. Some would say he deserves one after being a top 5 WR last season. However Brock Oswieler and Lamar Miller have both signed for good money so the Texans might not really have all that much left to play with. This could all lead to a trade but it wouldn't leave the Texans with all that much to throw to.
I didn't even think he could get one as a 2013 rookie.
He's contracted to the end of the 2017 season and could potentially be franchise tagged after that if the Texans played hardball. He's due $1m base this coming season and I'd imagine the leap up to what he wants would be something like $13m a season. I think he could end up being disappointed.
Still, he gets fined $40k per day he misses so he'd better make up his mind soon.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...6year-63m-deal
Chiefs have given Eric Fisher a 6 year deal worth $63m with $40m guaranteed which is fucking nuts.
He was wank in his rookie season and hasn't been much better in the previous two years. He's now being paid top 8 in terms of average per year and top 5 in total contract value.
Those were in his rookie season.
PFF graded him as the 36th best tackle last year.
They won't trade him. He'll end up going back.
Apparently RG3 is taking all first team reps in practice for the Browns.
If they actually make him the number one for the season
Griffin leading the Browns to the playoffs
He was never going to sit behind McCown in fairness.
Are there any preseason games on Sky or are they all on game pass?
Why would you want to watch a pre-season game? They're awful.
I thought RG3 was essentially confirmed started when they gave up their draft pick in the 1st round.
Was going to say exactly that. Pre-season in every sport is shit but especially in the NFL.
It's a shame but it was to be expected. Trent Richardson has been waived.
Was always going to be a struggle for him as we had 4 solid options and then drafted a 5th.
Is there genuinely going to be a RBBC in Baltimore? Surely it's still Forsett and then the others.
Well obviously there's a lot of smoke and mirrors, as is the case in the pre-season.
It wont be a committee but I also don't see Forsett carrying the load like some RB's. We will work in the other 2/3 that we keep around, I can see Buck Allen and the rookie Dixon getting a decent number of touches in the season. That's primarily because the coaches don't know who will be the guy after Forsett.
