    We've got Sproles back for another year. 528 yard this season and he enters the top 5 in history for all-purpose yards.

    I love a bit of Sproles. I'd have had him at Denver any time.

    He's signed with the Vikings, sadly, as has Holton 'Cypress' Hill. They've also grabbed a few nice WRs in Jake Wieneke, Korey Robertson & Jeff Badet, and an RB in Roc Thomas.

    Some other notable UDFA deals:

    Loads more, obviously, but those were the ones that stood out to me.

    We’ve poached JT Barrett off the Colts. He’s not going to be the long term answer at QB, and he’s probably not even going to beat out Taysom Hill, but he’s a fantastic locker room guy & he’d be a solid option as another weird, Sean Payton gimmick guy. I bet he’s already planning some insane play with Barrett, Hill & Kamara all on the field at the same time.

    We got Dimitri Flowers (RB) via free agency, was he one of the ones that had HYPE?

    Yeah, Matt Miller loves him so much he was actively texting teams while doing the BR stream telling them they should draft him.

    I'm not an expert, but that doesn't sound good.

    The real kicker will be Jameis winston. If he gets handed levels like that the market is broken.

    Rodgers will be able to buy most of wisonsin when he gets paid.

    Matt Ryan & Kirk Cousins are probably third tier QBs at best. If they’re getting $30m a year then Rodgers & Wilson should be getting at least $35m.

    Jameis ought to be having to beg for Brees money ($25m), but he’ll no doubt end up getting more.

    How do we feel about Jameis & Mariota, actually? Worth being the first two picks of their class? I just went back to see who else was there & it was a horrendous class, so maybe, but good enough relative to other top QBs like Goff & Wentz? Maybe not.

    Winston is just wild, absolutely wild with the ball. He's got the leadership skills but you need to back it up with talent. He's good, but he's an andy dalton good.

    I think if tampa have another shitey season it'll verify that.

    Yeah, I don’t think either have really progressed from where they were when they entered the league.

    Mariota is maybe more down to injuries & being on a shit team with a bad coach who runs an offence that doesn’t suit him, but Winston just seems to have not ever evolved past being an above average QB who will make a couple of horrific throws every game.

    This is definitely the big season for them though - they both need to show actual improvements if they’re ever going to become proper franchise guys rather than chilling in the Dalton Zone that puts your team in purgatory for a decade because you can never quite justify paying up to properly replace them, but they’re never good enough to get you where you want to go.

    Winston just wants to try and win the game with every throw. It's like how I used to play Madden when I knew none of the rules.

    It'll be interesting to see what vrabel does with mariotta. He's such a defensive minded coach I can only imagine he'll dig into the "what did I think was a nightmare to defend against him twice a season" and then push that as a basis.

    Ground pound is likely, particularly with derrick Henry and bo Scarborough.

    We’ve binned Fleener & the Panthers have signed CJ Anderson.

    Pretty sure Fleener’s properly finished with concussion issues, so it was really smart of us to pick up a TE in the draft. Oh, wait

    Benjamin Watson will have 60 catches this season. Either that or we’re just going to make Brandon Coleman play TE, which actually might not be a bad idea.

    I really don’t think Kamara is going to be an every down guy, and if he is he’ll be far less effective than he was last season.

    He might get a few less carries for a couple of weeks, but they work best when they split the job.

    Eagles have cut Mychal Kendricks for some reason:

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...chal-kendricks

    I'd love us to take a run at him but I reckon the Steelers will throw money at him.

    The timing of the release is especially strange:

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...cl-during-otas

    Paul Worrilow has torn his ACL so will be out for the season.

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...akland-raiders

    Hackenberg has gone to the Raiders for a 7th round pick.

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...-use-of-helmet

    Kick off changes have happened and they're basically trying to make them as pointless as possible. Oh and a helmet hit can see players get ejected now.

    Am I misunderstanding or do some of those kick-off changes actually help the returning team for once? Like, if the kicking team get less of a run up as the kick is taken doesn't that help the returner?

    Well that one absolutely sucks. Basically every fantasy analyst was wanking about him this season so I look forward to a week of ‘RIP HH’ podcasts & articles.

    Eagles have been trying to get rid of Kendricks for a year, so it’s not too much of a surprise. LOL at someone giving anything for Hackenberg though. Of course it would be the Raiders, who seem to have gone back to the Al Davis days of just stacking up on physical specimens who can’t actually play football.

    Hype because Adonis Alexander has declared for the supplemental draft and is expected to be the first drafted since Isaiah Battle in 2015.

    Yeah, saw that this morning. Being academically ineligible is always a good sign for your ability to learn a complicated NFL playbook, but to be fair he does sound like he’s got his shit together a bit.

    He’ll probably be a second or third round supplemental pick, which would be the highest since Josh Gordon in 2012, if I remember rightly.

    How “academically ineligible” do you have to be to not get into a college if you’re an NFL ready CB? Surely someone would make an exception to get him in.

    He could transfer to some shit school probably but he'd have to sit a year out. May aswell leave and just try and go pro. Unlikely that shit school would help your draft stock anyway.

    Not quite as bad as Winslow, but another Buc in trouble.

    Jameis has been suspended for three games for the Uber grope incident, apparently. They still have Fitzmagic, right?

    Fitzmagic is the best QB in the league (2 is McCown and 3 is Hoyer) so this is an upgrade.

    Hopefully our defence is as good as least season. He should have fun escaping our pass rush.
