If he goes and Peyton hangs it up, what will the Broncos do at QB?
If we somehow manage to keep Osemele it will be a fucking brilliant offseason for us.
Sadly he's probably the best guard in football right now (well behind Yanda) and one of the top left tackles too.
Tebow is available.Originally Posted by Gray Fox
Find an available, semi-competent quarterback. Just won a Super Bowl with a really shit one so if one can be found he won't cost a fortune and isn't an idiot then it'll do in the meantime. I'm just not convinced by Osweiler.
Tebowmania running wild.
Osweiller would need to be on a hoyer/mallett esque contract, maybe 3-4million. He's not actually done anything yet, so there's no way someone should be throwing $10million+ at him like his agent will no doubt be demanding.
From the little research I've done it looks like both of those being taken is pretty much a certainty. The Chargers will likely take Ramsey and the Cowboys Bosa, and if one of them falls the Jaguars will snap them up.
I've seen a lot of mocks suggesting we take one of them.
The Cowboys will probably take Myles Jack (or Jerry will go full retard and demand that they pick some player he loves) and I'm not convinced that the Chargers will look to lock up secondary help with their first pick, their secondary isn't too shabby and I can see them trading with a QB hungry team to move down some spots.
Oh and the Jags want help on their front seven apparently, they'd take Bosa but I doubt they'd take Ramsey.
I'd assume that he's there just for the offseason whilst Forsett is still recovering and he'll be cut as soon as Forsett is ready to practice.
There's not a chance he's getting ahead of Forsett, Buck Allen or Lorenzo Taliaferro.
Oh and in better Ravens news:
http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/...b-75817071d887
Head Coach John Harbaugh and General Manager Ozzie Newsome have made it clear.
The Ravens want Kelechi Osemele to be their left tackle.
Baltimore is putting its money where its mouth is, offering Osemele a deal that would, according to multiple reports, make Osemele the second-highest paid offensive player on the team behind quarterback Joe Flacco.
Now it’s just a matter of whether Osemele will accept.
“It’s a really aggressive deal,” Harbaugh said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. “I think it shows a lot of respect to K.O [Osemele]. It shows him that we really want him here, and I hope that he takes it.”
If he accepts it, then by christ have we had a fucking brilliant off season.
We've also slapped the tag on Tucker.
Watching the combine now (I'm not sure why I do but I always watch a little bit every year just so I know more going into the draft) and I really like Tunsil, he seems like a thoroughly nice chap.
I'm sure there must be a less interesting part of the NFL season than the combine but......... nope. Can't think of any.
It's more for the talk surrounding the players.
I find even the draft fucking boring, to be honest. I tried to sit up for it once and just didn't care one bit.
We're supposedly willing to take trade offers for DeMarco(he wants back to Dallas). Which is royally fucking stupid. We have 1 good WR. We need to make proper use of our great RB department. It's all we've bloody well got.
We've got to be looking at free agency here. Someone like Doug Martin or maybe take Forte for a year or two. Either way it will cost us $13m in cap space to cut him before June so it makes no sense unless we got a seriously good deal, which we wont due to his 2015.
Forte will be going to New England.
It's like the perfect matchup for the team and player.
New England isn't perfect for any RB. He'll be a star one week and sat on his ass the next. But I agree, it's his likely destination.
I used to be semi-interested in the draft build up until it became increasingly apparently that the Combine is a waste of time and most of the 'experts' just don't know much more about these guys than I do.
Forte in Green Bay
He wont, that happened to Jonas Gray because he missed practice.
Keep in Belicheck's good books and that sort of stuff doesn't happen.
Matt Forte is the best pass catching RB around, Tom Brady will wank himself into a coma at the prospect of him going over there.
New England with a backfield of Lewis and Forte would be pretty tasty for them to be fair.
It's happened with every New England RB since the beginning of time. Belicheck just has no consistency.
Kevin Faulk would disagree.
I've never even heard of him, so yea.... but certainly since I've been watching Patriots RBs have been avoided like the plague in fantasy leagues because they can't stick to one.
Edit- "Since the beginning of time" was clearly an exaggeration, especially if Faulk only left in 2011but yea... I still wouldn't trust any RB with Belicheck as the head coach, even if it was Forte.
Had to unfollow NFL.com on Facebook as my timeline was just full of people running, jumping and chatting shit. Also some older videos of good players running, jumping and chatting shit.
Is it September yet?
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...o-sam-bradford
The Eagles have increased their offer to Bradford, lol.
Although I guess it is better than any other option or tagging him.
Yeah we're basically stuck with him.
He's in for a decent pay day if he realizes this too. Our only other option at this point would be to try our luck in the draft, but in likelihood we're looking at maybe 3/4 QBs going before it's even our turn.
News is that the Chargers are willing to trade, would help the Ravens for a team with a glaring QB need to jump in there.
Well if we stay at 13 there's almost 0% chance of Goff or Wentz being available, and they're the two you could probably put in straight away.
You're looking at a QB definitely going at 2 and probably 7(with noises currently about Kaepernick), with potential for one to go at 3 and 4 too.
If we're serious about taking anyone that isn't Lynch we need to move on up. I'll be interested to see what we'd have to throw at those teams in order to move up. Quite an odd situation to be in 2 years running, I didn't think we should do this last year for Mariota, but this time around I don't know.
I know it's a Youtube video but by christ could we use someone like that in the secondary.
Kirk cousin has been tagged, $20 million smackeroonies for him.
Sam Bradford also has 26mil in guarantees in a 2 year 36mill contract.
Lord.
So $13m per year. I expected worse than that to be honest, but that's still high. And it's about the safest play we could have made. Strong case for taking Lynch at the draft if he's still there.
18 a year. How bad is your mental arithmetic?
$13m a year guaranteed I'd say he meant.18 a year. How bad is your mental arithmetic?
This. I've no idea what bonuses in there so can't go on that.
Considering Osemele hasn't signed the 'aggressive deal just yet', one would assume that he's going to wait until 10th of March and see what other teams are offering him.
He apparently wants to the highest earning guard in the NFL, which is currently Logan Mankins on $8.5m a year. Considering we came out and said that we view him as our left tackle now, plus with a Flacco restructuring deal almost in place surely our 'aggressive offer' is possibly around $9m a year. Perhaps we might still have a shot even if he does test free agency.
Oh and that Bradford contract is pretty good, especially so if it involves a get out after a year.
You don't want to sign him to a big, long deal but they pretty much need him this year because there's fuck all else for the Eagles.

Word is that Flacco's cap number has gone from $28.6m this season to just $9m.
An extra last push for Osemele now please.
I read it had been cut by $9m and wasn't actually $9m. That's still impressive though.
I'm surprised to see Flacco is only 31. I had it in my mind he was 35/36 for some reason.
Yeah, NFL had worded it badly before. They've changed it now, it's still a damn good deal for us though and hopefully it will mean we keep Osemele.
Yeah, it says it's a $9m cut, rather than a cut to $9m.
In cut news, the Patriots have cut LaFell & Chandler, the Bills cut Mario Williams, and Alex Mack has voided his own deal with the Browns, but the headline cut is that Roddy White is gone from the Falcons
Also, Jerry says Dallas won't be taking a QB at 4. Guess they fancy Kellen Moore to be up for 8-10 games next season when Romo breaks his clavicle again.
Dallas will be taking Bosa at 4 then.
I still have no idea where we are going yet, but the WR position does need some addressing. Give Bradford someone to throw to besides Matthews.
We've cut Daryl Smith, it's only saved about $2.6m in cap.
We might be looking at a MLB at the sixth spot now, although I hope we're going to pick Smith back up. He's 34 and had a down year last season but we've not really got anyone else. Arthur Brown has been a huge disappointment, McClellan is more of a special teamer and Orr, whilst he flashed some promise last year (he played a lot on third downs in place of Smith) is an undrafted guy who has yet to start a game.
We've also let Canty walk so that's another $2m free so perhaps we're really trying to keep Osemele.
Oh and Arian Foster is gone from the Texans.
The Jaguars having close to $90m free, it's absolutely insane.
With a good free agency and draft they could be pretty fucking good next year.
They wont because they're the Jaguars but still.
They have $90m free?
Jesus, they already have massive potential in their offense with the 2 Allens, Bortles and Yeldon. I hope they spend it wisely.
Free agency is worth fuck all. They'll still be shit in 12 months.
More than likely.
I can see them spunking huge amounts on fairly mediocre players.
There's talk of them being interested in Malik Jackson, Olivier Vernon and Bruce Irvin.
The first two are brilliant but Irvin is so fucking overrated and can only really rush the passer, he was selected so highly in his draft because he ran fast.
Isn't he the guy from the old Tekken games? If so they should sign him.
