:drool:

[Ian]

Oh fuck off.

[Spoonsky]

Well that was certainly... deflating.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why didn't Roby just slide straight away?

If they had managed to return the fumble back for 2 points :D

[Ian]

Have some of that you fucking cunts.

[Dark Soldier]

:(

[Browning]

Hope they get the TD and miss the 2 pointer.

You're welcome, Ian.

[wullie]

I thought Brady was getting another go then until I remembered that was the conversion play.

[Ian]

You're welcome, Ian.

:drool:

[Ian]

Imagine how good Denver would be if they had an offense.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Now for the Cards to dispatch Cam and his band of dickheads so they can wipe the floor with old man Manning.

http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/files/2014/10/campbell-495x345.jpg

Watching Calais destroy Peyton would be so sweet.

[Gray Fox]

What a finish. Even the Mrs is a nervous wreck. :D

[Ian]

That was a hell of a game in general, really. While there weren't many points a lot of it was because of genuinely good defense and good pass-rushing is always good to watch.

[Gray Fox]

So the missed extra point cost them in the end.

That Broncos defense is mean though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If David Johnson scores the first TD we riot lads.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Broncos owners wife looks fucking awful, less surgery lass.

Oh and I'd challenge that if I was Arians, Ginn got touched as he slid.

[Ian]

Aye, I don't think I've seen Bowlen's wife before. She's a state.

TD, though. :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Damn that was a nifty run by Ginn.

Fucking Cardinals and David Johnson though :(

[Ian]

I've a soft-spot for Ted Ginn Jr, for no reason other than that when me and my brother-in-law went to the first Wembley game we picked him as subject for a chant.

The middle-aged woman in front of us seemed a bit bemused at us chanting "ONE TED GINN JUNIOR! THERE'S ONLY ONE TED GINN JUNIOR!", etc.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What the fuck are the Cardinals defenders doing?

[Ian]

I genuinely don't care who wins (Denver are the underdogs whoever it is, I'd probably prefer the Cards) but lol at the state of this from Arizona.

[Gray Fox]

Someone go tell the Cardinals the game started nearly an hour ago.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Where are you going?
I'm going home now
..., no WHERE are you going?
Oh right, Superbowl

Dara and CJ Anderson, a perfect match for TV.

[Ian]

I liked her more in the three seconds before I heard her speak, first time I tuned in and she was on.

[Gray Fox]

Oh look, Arizona have turned up.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Patrick Peterson is a fucking mentalist for that.

What a fucking idiot.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nice one Palmer :moop:

Since he hurt his finger he's looked like when he was in Oakland and couldn't give a shit.

[niko_cee]

The Patriots offensive tackles are having a nightmare game, they might as well not even be there.

My personal favourite was the one on/near the Pats goal line when they called the snap and Miller was round the extra blocker chap before he'd even stood up out of his stance.

Some classic Manning in that game. Dat run. Dat face when he was about to get smashed.

:drool:

[Giggles]

Jesus no wonder the Packers had a chance to beat these, they're an absolute shambles.

What a bad night overall.

[Dan]

Fuck sake. What a letdown that set of games was. Go Peyton I guess, so congrats Cam, have fun posing all off-season :moop:

[The Bruce]

I wondered if the Patriots going for it on 4th down and not kicking the FG would come back to bite them in the arse. Belichick almost always has a rick in him against Peyton, the old bastard better not win it :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Thomas Davis broke his arm but he's still intending to play in the Super Bowl.

[Gray Fox]

In news that no one cares about right now we've just signed Ertz to a 5 year extension. Rumoured to be about $42m.

If we can bring in some help for our RBs on the line, we should be pretty handy this coming season. Depending on who we have under centre obviously.

[Ian]

The New England Patriots offensive line wasn’t mauled, manhandled or overpowered in the AFC Championship Game; it was simply ignored.

That's a pretty good way of putting it.

Meanwhile:

And [Brady] was subject to all manner of indignity in a 20-18 loss.

“I tried to lay on him a few times,” said one Broncos rusher after the game. “I tried to rub my nuts on his face.”

That dickhead wants putting down.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The fuck?

[Gray Fox]

The LA saga continues.

The Chargers have agreed a deal for a brand new training complex to be built in the LA area and have agreed a financial package with the Rams to share the new stadium, when it opens.

At the same time they have opted to stay in San Diego for 2016.

The idea is that there is a vote in June to see if the Chargers will be given $350m of public money to help build a stadium in San Diego. The LA deals are essentially a back up plan and leverage to try and force a deal through for a new stadium in San Diego. However as they've been trying to get this done for 15 years now I'm not so sure they'll get said deal.

I'll be interested to see what the Raiders do, should the Chargers not move to LA.

[Foe]

Was hoping I'd be able to watch the senior bowl. Looking unlikely. If anyone has a stream drop me a pm.

[Dan]

Missed it as well, but luckily I have GamePass so I'm just going to rewind time & watch it now :)

Sorry Foe, I haven't really helped you much here...

[Giggles]

The Senior Bowl was on Gamepass? Do you mean the Pro Bowl?

[Dan]

Nah, it was showing live on NFL Network, which you can watch through GamePass.

[Ian]

If you, correctly, think friendlies are an absolute waste of time then no. It isn't.

How long has it not been AFC vs. NFC? And was that supposed to make it less lol? If so that's a swing and a miss.

[Browning]

Only like a year or two, I think.

It's always been shit.

[Ian]

It's always good when you read "How to fix the Pro Bowl" type articles that seem determined to ignore the fact that a lot of what makes NFL an entertaining sport is removed when you do everything in your power to turn it into a series of passing drills.

[Pleb]

If you, correctly, think friendlies are an absolute waste of time then no. It isn't.

Since 2012 apparently.

Apparently the commissioner was bored or whatever and changed the setup/rules which meant no kickoffs which is lol really. Apparently no blitzing now that's taking the piss :D

Third season, they now even have a draft which is fucking televised for it.

I just turned it on, saw all the shitty rule changes that I had forgotten about and turned it off.

Must run a 4-3, no motioning or shifting for the offence, no blitzing, no kick offs, no nickel or dime defence packages etc etc.

Mike Tirico painted it as 'more one on one, best against the best', ugh.

Just a shame we don't have players like Sean Taylor still knocking about:

http://giant.gfycat.com/ZanyDenseFinch.gif

Fuck punters and the Pro Bowl :cool:

[Ian]

I get why they do that, nobody wants their star quarterback getting sat on by Geno Atkins in a meaningless game but, well, why bother?

Other than all the money swilling about, obviously.

EDIT: Didn't Ed Reed waste Todd Heap one year as well?

Nah, wouldn't be Heap. I'm sure Reed mangled somebody though.

It's because it works in other American sports, apparently All-Star games in the other sports draw bigger TV audiences than regular season games. The NFL is the only sport that gets fuck all TV ratings.

And it definitely wasn't on Heap. The only Pro Bowl they were at together was when they were both in Baltimore.

I have never been less interested in a Superbowl.

[Browning]

Same. Would love to see Peyton win but the inevitability of the Panthers smashing them and Cam posing like a cunt all 4th quarter makes me really not care.

[Dan]

Indeed. I'd much rather see Peyton doing that dance all fourth quarter than Cam doing his.

[Ian]

Is this "inevitable" bloodbath coming from those who predicted the same against New England? I don't forsee a Denver win, sadly, but I don't think it'll be a mess.

But then I said the same until That Snap two years ago, so. .

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000633154/article/manziel-under-investigation-after-complaint-is-filed

The Dallas Police Dept. announced Friday night it has launched a criminal investigation of Johnny Manziel after receiving a complaint of domestic violence assault against the Cleveland Browns quarterback.

The complaint stems from an alleged altercation between Manziel and his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, who told Fort Worth police that Manziel struck her "several times" during an argument on Jan. 30. The Dallas Police Dept. would not confirm to NFL Media who filed the complaint, but WFAA-TV in Dallas reported Crowley has given a statement to Dallas police and wants the district attorney to press charges.

:harold:

Aaron Hernandez will finally have someone to throw him passes on the prison team.

When Ryan Leaf is offering support you know you've gone wrong.

[The Bruce]

I have never been less interested in a Superbowl.

Oddly I'm the same and I can't work out why.

[Ian]

Is it because even compared to other Super Bowls the aftermath is going to be pretty unbearable regardless of who wins?

[The Bruce]

Could be. Coupled with my not wanting either team to win for the first time, I'm not even going to stay up for it this year. :(

[Gray Fox]

The Broncos winning is best for aftermath purposes. Peyton will retire and it will become a lot more bearable. Cam Newton walking away with a win will be the talk of every game, ever, until the Panthers crash and burn next year(if they do).

[Gray Fox]

You know that someone somewhere will take a punt on him.

Deserves fuck all of it though. He must have had about 50 chances in Cleveland.

[Ian]

Deion Sanders basically said Manziel's "issues" with his girlfriend are partly her fault.

It's hard to tell with Sanders sometimes whether he's just trying too hard to protect anybody who's got problems or if he's just a genuinely unpleasant person.

[Browning]

He will go to Dallas and be the starter week 3 when Romo's collarbone explodes.

[Giggles]

There's a headline could be taken another way.


http://i.imgur.com/gWWnxI7.jpg

[Gray Fox]

Any one here keeping up on the draft news?

Next week sees the combine start and we get to see how good everyone is on paper. The No.1 pick is almost unanimously going to be OT Laremy Tunsil, so long as the Titans keep it. They're in a great position to make a trade should they wish. Browns are pick #2 and they will be taking a QB(Most likely Jared Goff). There are 5 teams behind them in the order that need a QB and Goff being likely the best of the bunch, they could throw things at the Titans to snag him.

Who does your team look like taking?

To me the Ravens are the most interesting pick. They're Taz style false position in this draft, with them basically losing their entire team through injury at some point last season, even still narrowly losing about 6 games from winning positions. They could really pick up someone on the way to a play off push this coming year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We'll pick a pass rusher or some secondary help I'd imagine.

If Jalen Ramsey slips to us we'll take him, if not Joey Bosa. I'd imagine if both are taken (highly unlikely) Newsome will either take whoever is the best player at the time (even if we don't have a need for them) or trade down.

[Ian]

Denver needs offensive linemen (I'd happily see us trade up if there was one further up the first round they loved), maybe a running back or a tight end.

Talk is that there are teams sniffing around Osweiler who are prepared to give him more money than I'd want Denver to so hopefully that being the case they'll try and keep the likes of Malik Jackson with the money instead, and in terms of the D just see if there's anybody who drops kindly in the draft. There's work needs doing on the offense but depending on what free agency has in store it really ought to be a draft where Denver pick the best available player and don't reach for positions too much.

[Gray Fox]

Seems to be split opinions on what the Eagles are doing. We stupidly went out to win our last game and have ourselves at #13 instead of #10.

Unless we pick up a FA QB before hand, we'll have to franchise tag Bradford(lol at that) and look at picking up someone like Carson Wentz or Paxton Lynch and ease him in through the season. We could go all out for a 1st round QB but it's risky. If the guy we want happens to be taken we're left having to bring in someone for the sake of it.

If we do pick up a FA QB then we are probably looking at a DT, if not OT. Much help is needed at CB in the off season though. Our secondary was terrible last season, despite possessing a mean run defense.

[Ian]

The Eagles are one of the teams rumoured to be interested in Osweiler if he hits the market.

[Gray Fox]

If he goes and Peyton hangs it up, what will the Broncos do at QB?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

[Foe]

If he goes and Peyton hangs it up, what will the Broncos do at QB?

Tebow is available.

[Ian]

If he goes and Peyton hangs it up, what will the Broncos do at QB?

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.


Tebow is available.

Tebowmania running wild. :drool:

[Foe]

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.

[Browning]

We'll pick a pass rusher or some secondary help I'd imagine.

If Jalen Ramsey slips to us we'll take him, if not Joey Bosa. I'd imagine if both are taken (highly unlikely) Newsome will either take whoever is the best player at the time (even if we don't have a need for them) or trade down.

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.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

Mahow

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and in better Ravens news:

http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Ravens-Offer-Kelechi-Osemele-Aggressive-Deal/8b589dda-247a-4dec-b27b-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.”

:cool:

If he accepts it, then by christ have we had a fucking brilliant off season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

[Ian]

I'm sure there must be a less interesting part of the NFL season than the combine but......... nope. Can't think of any.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's more for the talk surrounding the players.

[Browning]

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.

[Gray Fox]

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.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Forte will be going to New England.

It's like the perfect matchup for the team and player.

[Browning]

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.

[Ian]

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.

[Giggles]

Forte in Green Bay :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

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.

[Gray Fox]

New England with a backfield of Lewis and Forte would be pretty tasty for them to be fair.

[Browning]

It's happened with every New England RB since the beginning of time. Belicheck just has no consistency.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kevin Faulk would disagree.

[Browning]

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 2011 :D but yea... I still wouldn't trust any RB with Belicheck as the head coach, even if it was Forte.

The Eagles have increased their offer to Bradford, lol.

Although I guess it is better than any other option or tagging him.

[Gray Fox]

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.

[Gray Fox]

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.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIGc2LooeFs

I know it's a Youtube video but by christ could we use someone like that in the secondary.

[Foe]

Kirk cousin has been tagged, $20 million smackeroonies for him.

Sam Bradford also has 26mil in guarantees in a 2 year 36mill contract.

Lord.

[Gray Fox]

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.

[Foe]

18 a year. How bad is your mental arithmetic? :D

[Giggles]

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.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000640677/article/joe-flacco-baltimore-ravens-strike-extension

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.

[Gray Fox]

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.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

[Dan]

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.

[Gray Fox]

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.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and Arian Foster is gone from the Texans.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

[Gray Fox]

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.

[Giggles]

Free agency is worth fuck all. They'll still be shit in 12 months.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

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.

[Browning]

Isn't he the guy from the old Tekken games? If so they should sign him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Peyton's $19m base salary for the next season becomes fully guaranteed on Tuesday.

Peyton's $19m base salary for the next season becomes fully guaranteed on Tuesday.

What's the hit if they cut him?

[Browning]

I really don't get the Manning situation. People are saying "If he doesn't retire they'll have to cut him", so if that's the case, why did they not sign Brock ages ago?

Also you'd think if it was certain he isn't going to stay in Denver, he'd just hurry the fuck up and make his decision so he can try and find a new team.

[Dan]

Apparently they've offered Osweiler a deal now. (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000641536/article/broncos-offer-osweiler-3year-deal-worth-up-to-45m)

[Ian]

I really don't get the Manning situation. People are saying "If he doesn't retire they'll have to cut him", so if that's the case, why did they not sign Brock ages ago?

Because Osweiler's agents will also have wanted to see a) what the Manning situation is if a decision came early and b) what his value in free agency is likely to be.

I'd expect/hope any deal we might come to with him to look big but be relatively light on guarantees.


Also you'd think if it was certain he isn't going to stay in Denver, he'd just hurry the fuck up and make his decision so he can try and find a new team.

I'm fairly convinced that Denver are just giving Manning the chance to pretend the decision is his own before cutting him. If it approaches the deadline and he's still pissing about Elway will pull the trigger.

[Foe]

There's no way the Broncos don't cut manning. I imagine it's just a bit of cat and mouse to see if the Broncos can find a trade if manning doesn't want to retire.

[Gray Fox]

Supposedly to be announced tomorrow.

[Gray Fox]

Yep, he's done.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000641561/article/broncos-quarterback-peyton-manning-to-retire

[Ian]

Now to get Tebow back and we'll be good to go.

[The Bruce]

:wave:

Thank fuck for that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Dolphins are trying to make a trade for Byron Maxwell which is proper lol if they give up anything of significance. He's average but got a mega contract from the moronic Eagles after a good couple of years in the Legion of Boom. Actually, it's especially lol as the 'cornerback class' in the draft is supposed to be really strong.

RG3 has been officially cut and the Broncos have risked losing CJ Anderson. They've given him an original round designation tender, that means that if a team comes in with too high a contract that they're not prepared to match the offering team wont have to give up a single draft pick. They've placed a second round tender on Brandon Marshall which is a damn shame, I was hoping the Ravens might make a play for him.

In Ravens news we've resigned Shareece Wright who, after a shaky debut against the 49ers, was great for us last season and we've also re-signed long snapper Morgan Cox which is clearly the biggest news this season.

With Wright signed I'd imagine that we'll pick Ramsey if he is there at 6, if not we'll either trade down or take Ronnie Stanley. I just can't see us taking a pass rusher that early seeing as we always seem to identify great guys in the later rounds. Such as Za'Darius Smith last year, Jernigan the year before, Upshaw a couple of years before that, McPhee the year before that etc.

[Gray Fox]

We're short(of quality) in the secondary so I'd hope we could take some corners, but Maxwell is on such a laughably high contract that we should really trade him away. Wouldn't mind if we got some kind of value out of him but it's time to build some depth in our pass defence.

[Giggles]

Griffin surely ends up in Dallas.

[Foe]

Griffin surely ends up in Dallas.

Or Houston.

[Giggles]

Or Houston.

True, I forgot about them. He'd probably start there.

[Gray Fox]

Houston are crying out for any kind of semi-competent QB. See their play-off loss for confirmation.

[Browning]

Houston are, but RGIII is exactly the kind of player you could see Jerry Jones investing everything in. Supposedly he was in love with Johnny Manziel at some point, wasn't he? That said, he could just go out and get him, I suppose.

[Gray Fox]

Emotional Peytons' retirement speech.

Dallas could do with taking a young QB, maybe even Manziel, and keep him under Romos wing for the next year or two. That said, all predictions thus far have them taking a DE at No.4. Maybe wait and see if Lynch drops into round 2 or take Cook.

EDIT: I've just noticed Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to hit free agency. Houston could do worse.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Houston are, but RGIII is exactly the kind of player you could see Jerry Jones investing everything in. Supposedly he was in love with Johnny Manziel at some point, wasn't he? That said, he could just go out and get him, I suppose.
Yes, his son and Jason Garrett spent most of their time in the draft room telling Jerry to shut the fuck up as he was wanted to draft Manziel. I think he claimed that Manziel would have guaranteed the Cowboys relevance for the next decade or something equally as mental. He's still apparently mad that they draft Zack Martin instead who has been fucking immense on the line for Dallas.

[Ian]

Apparently the Raiders have a shitload of cap room dollars they need to spend so as not to fall foul of the bargain agreement. Tens of millions of dollars. Not a chance they don't do something lol with that.

My money's on $30m guaranteed to give Ryan Leaf his shot at redemption.

[Giggles]

Fitzpatrick would be a better option than Griffin.

[Foe]

Bring back JaMarcus Russell. As a Nose Tackle / QB hybrid.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck JaMarcus.

Jared Lorenzen has a ring having played backup under Eli:

320 pounds of awesomeness.

[Giggles]

He had some really good numbers in college too if I remember right.

[Browning]

Looks like Houston are going to make a move for Brock.

[Ian]

I'd forgotten about Lorenzen. :D

Let Brock go and get him in!

[Gray Fox]

Dolphins are getting Maxwell and Alonso apparently.

We're willing to let all of our RBs go too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Demarco Murray to the Titans.

Can't wait to see what they do in the new season.

A better o-line with Mariota, Murray, Delanie Walker, Dorial Green Beckham and Kendall Wright.

That's looking quite tidy.

[Gray Fox]

At least Murray shirts will be on sale...

I wonder who we'll take at #1 next year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Word is that the Raiders are offering Osemele 'in excess of $10m a year'.

He'll be gone within the first couple of days of free agency officially opening :(

[wullie]

Megatron now.

[Giggles]

Megatron now.

Retired?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yep.

Also, Osemele has indeed gone to the Rainders.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000642210/article/raiders-kelechi-osemele-agree-in-principle-on-deal

Terms of the cannot be finalized until Wednesday, but NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports the contract is expected to be worth more than $11 million per year, according to a source informed of the deal.

That's top left guard money by a long way and the only O-Line people making more than him would be Cordy Glenn ($13.7m a year), Trent Williams ($13.2m), Tyron Smith ($12.2m) and possibly Joe Thomas ($11.5m) and Lane Johnson ($11.25m).

This probably means we'll make a play to keep Upshaw, more than likely wont cut Monroe and we'll be picking a lineman at number 6.

[Browning]

Stafford is going to have to learn to see his open receivers now then rather than having 3 people running free and still chucking it to a triple covered Calvin.

[Foe]

Stafford is going to have to learn to see his open receivers now then rather than having 3 people running free and still chucking it to a triple covered Calvin.

The "find Calvin" play call scheme just became slightly less effective.

[Browning]

It was so frustrating when I went to the Wembley game and had Ebron in my Fantasy team. Almost every single play Ebron would get open and Stafford would ignore him and launch it down the field to Calvin and miss him by a mile. I can't believe there was a time people rated Stafford.

[Browning]

Alshon has been tagged, to the surprise of no one.

[Browning]

Malik Jackson signed for the Jags. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

From the Superbowl to Jacksonville.

I hope he's getting paid a mountain of gold.

[Ian]

Well it was a great move for Julius Thomas.

[Browning]

JPP staying in New York.

[Gray Fox]

Megatron :(

Would have been nice to see him go somewhere with one final shot at a ring.

[Gray Fox]

Ravens have taken former Saint TE, Benjamin Watson.

Eagles sign Leodis McKelvin. Bills CB of the last 8 years.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Guess we needed a TE seeing as Boyle is suspended for 10 games (moron) and still no word on when Pitta will be back. Had a good year last season and he seems like a decent bloke.

We've also given Aiken a second round tender so it looks like he's staying too.

Oh and the Vikings have cut Mike Wallace, I wonder which stupid team will take a punt on him next.

[Browning]

So when Pitta is back they'll have him, Watson and Gillmore.... that's all 3 of them being avoided in Fantasy then.

Owen Daniels is free if they want to add another....

[Browning]

Super Mario has signed for the Dolphins.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

6 years, $90M; $42M guaranteed is what the Jags are paying Malik Jackson.

I guess he did indeed get a mountain of gold.

JJ Watt was given a 6 year deal for $100m with $51m guaranteed so Malik isn't far off. The Jags run a 4-3 too so fuck knows why they're paying a 3-4 end that kind of money.

[Gray Fox]

6 years, $90M; $42M guaranteed is what the Jags are paying Malik Jackson.

Jags have now signed Ivory. A good addition to the offensive line or two and their offense is pretty much set.

[wullie]

Fucking hell, didn't realise how bad this actually was:

https://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/lockette1.gif?w=650


I didn’t really realize how serious it was until it was over, because the doctor told me my skull was—all the muscles, all the ligaments that connect my vertebrae and the cartilage, in between that. So, the cartilage was out, the ligaments torn. And he said, if I were to have stood up then, the weight of my head, left, right, front, back, I would have died. If one of my teammates would have came over and pulled my arm, just barely, I might have died. If the returner at the time would have broken a couple tackles, and they would have moved and fell on me, I would have died on the field. But what saved my life was the trainers.

They did it perfectly by the book. The way they held my neck. All the training saved my life, because if they had gone too far to the left or moved me without stabilizing this or that then I would have been dead. So I thank God that I’m here and thank you guys for the work that you do and if there is anything I can do to help you save another life, me, my teammates, my family are your workers

[Gray Fox]

Chargers sign Travis Benjamin.
Janoris Jenkins signs for the Giants.

Romo is having surgery on his troublesome collarbone. He's having a plate inserted to help apparently.

EDIT: The Alonso/Maxwell to Miami trade is on hold.

Maxwell finished last season on IR(shoulder injury) but told the Eagles he was fine at the end of the year. Turned up for his medical today and told the Miami team he was unable to do press ups or bench anything.

Deal is apparently important as it would see the Eagles move up to #8 in the 1st round of this years draft.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bruce Irvin to the Raiders.

Him on one side with Mack on the other.

That's pretty swish.

[Gray Fox]

Dolphins have signed Mario Williams and decided to keep Cameron Wake over Olivier Vernon.

Considering most of the FA DE have re-signed with current teams, he should be hot property.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The Dolphins are playing this very wrong.

They've gone for the names in signing Williams and keeping Wake.

Williams has a terrible attitude problem, is on a severe decline and decided he couldn't be fucked with the Bills last season. Wake is 34 and coming off a torn Achilles injury.

They must feel that Vernon is going to get top dollar though.

[Gray Fox]

Considering the money flying about already, he's almost nailed on for a big pay day.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Indeed and apparently by pulling the tag they can get a compensatory pick when he signs with someone else.

Apparently the Osemele deal was 5 years for $60m, so $12m a year so that makes him the 4th most expensive offensive lineman.

We've also restructured Yanda's contract giving us just under $4m more in cap room.

[Gray Fox]

Maxwell has cleared a 2nd medical. Trade to go head. Dolphins have spent some $$$ today.

Eagles(#13) and Dolphins(#8) to swap places in Round 1 of the draft.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000642656/article/broncos-expected-to-chase-kaepernick-if-osweiler-bolts

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that Denver is expected to come after 49ers passer Colin Kaepernick if forced to start over under center, per a source informed of the team's thinking.

"If they lose Brock Osweiler to the Texans ... expect the Broncos to turn their attention to Kaepernick, to try to work out a trade with the 49ers," Rapoport said on NFL Network's Free Agency Frenzy. "There have been several teams sniffing around Kaepernick the last several days, but it is obvious that Osweiler is the big domino to fall here."

I will cry tears of joy if that happens.

[Gray Fox]

From one of the greatest QBs to ever play, with a promising kid at back up to... that. It'd be some change.

I think us taking the move up to number 8 pick takes us out of the running for a QB or RB in round 1.

[Ian]

If that Kaepernick move were to happen I'd never have hated a Denver player more.

Get Jake Plummer in.

[Gray Fox]

As if to confirm my thinking for me, we're flying in Chase Daniel. He must be Dougs secret son or something.

We're also signing Rodney McLeod for $37m, $17m guaranteed.

[Giggles]

I haven't checked yet, but I presume I'm safe in saying the Packers haven't signed anyone.

[Gray Fox]

I haven't checked yet, but I presume I'm safe in saying the Packers haven't signed anyone.

You'd be correct. Not really showing too much interest in anyone either.

You'd be correct. Not really showing too much interest in anyone either.

He probably won't take a look until next week at the earliest.

[Gray Fox]

To be fair, there's not a great deal that was out there for them today. A lot of players being able to pick their move for the money.

[Browning]

Remember, Alex Smith can win you games but Kaepernick can have confetti falling at the end of the season.....

Either that, or they're trying to sign the only player in the NFL that would make winning a Super Bowl even harder than having Manning last year.

[Gray Fox]

Doug Martin is staying with the Bucs to the tune of $35m over 5 years.

EDIT: Forte to the Jets is apparently on.

Osweiler is going to the Texans(sorry Ian). That should kick start everything QB wise.

[Ian]

Anyone but Kaepernick.

[Gray Fox]

Your options are really; Kaep, Fitzpatrick, RG3, Manziel or trade up to take one at the draft. Not exactly spoilt there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kaepernick :nodd:

[Gray Fox]

The Texans are also getting themselves Lamar Miller. Not too shabby. 4 years @ $26m.

Our condolences Ian.

[Gray Fox]

Eagles now signing Brandon Brooks. 5 years @ $40m.

Not doing too badly out of today methinks.

[Giggles]

Your options are really; Kaep, Fitzpatrick, RG3, Manziel or trade up to take one at the draft. Not exactly spoilt there.

Fitzpatrick from that. He'd have the least meltdowns and his ceiling is still an upgrade on Manning.

Though I still can't bring myself to completely give up on Kaepernick.

[Ian]

Kaepernick still has a couple of weeks to be passed unfit so the Niners can't cut him without more of a hit. Hopefully he breaks an ankle this week.

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/quarterback/

What a selection. If it's to come from free agency I think I'd take Fitzpatrick for a year and then draft somebody and hope they're looking up to snuff next year.

[Gray Fox]

Osweiler is to get a 4 year, $72m deal.

[Giggles]

Osweiler is to get a 4 year, $72m deal.

Was hoping the Ravens might have a chance at replacing Osemele with him.

Mathis or Boone are the other good options.

Damon Harrison is staying at the MetLife but is trading his green jersey for a blue one.

NFL Media's Rand Getlin reports that Harrison's deal is worth $9.25 million per year with $24 million guaranteed and $30 million over the first three years.

[Gray Fox]

I like what we've done today. Essentially shifted that Maxwell contract into getting McKelvin and McLeod, with a little spend.

I'm still not sold on shifting DeMarco on, but that depends on who comes in. Ryan Matthews should still leave though.

[Gray Fox]

Someone on my Facebook has gone BANANAS over this Osweiler bloke moving to whoever he supports. Are we talking about a once in a lifetime talent here or is he just being a buffter?

Young promising Quarterback(not really done anything yet) has decided he wants to move for big money, rather than play for less 'dolla' at the winners of the Superbowl just gone.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Actually, he has more than a good shot at being their best ever QB.

David Carr, Tony Banks, Dave Ragone, Matt Schaub, Sage Rosenfels, TJ Yates, Matt Leinart, Case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett, Brandon Weeden.

Those are the QBs who have started a game for the Texans and it's not a great list.

[Gray Fox]

I had no idea it was that bad. Speaking of Schaub, he's gone to the Falcons.

[Gray Fox]

Bid deal time. Olivier Vernon to the Giants. He'll be the highest paid DE of all time. $85m over 5 years with $52m of that guaranteed.

[Browning]

That's insane money. No wonder he was let go.

And getting excited over Brock at this point is silly, he's proven nothing yet.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bid deal time. Olivier Vernon to the Giants. He'll be the highest paid DE of all time. $85m over 5 years with $52m of that guaranteed.

lol.

Although if JPP is 'back to his best', they've got a pretty tidy front four.

JPP - Harrison - Hankins - Vernon.

I was wondering why they went for Harrison as he and Hankins are both nose tackles so they wont have any QB pressure from the middle but those 2 will draw a lot of blocks, JPP and Vernon could both have big years.

[Ian]

Vernon is really good for his age but that's proper shit-or-bust stuff.

[Gray Fox]

If they could improve their o-line or take a RB, they should be nailed on NFC East champs with those 4.

But yeah, a lot of money there.

Citing improper contact with wide receiver Jeremy Maclin prior to the start of free agency last March, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent informed the Chiefs on Wednesday that they will forfeit their 2016 third-round draft pick and 2017 sixth-round draft pick for violating the league's Anti-Tampering Policy.

Massively lol. If they looked into it all enough and did the same with all teams they may as well cancel the draft completely.
