And it's a great one, isn't it?
And it's a great one, isn't it?
Finally shows up, even though we all knew, that it's not all about on-field performance. No matter how much the committee bleat on that it is.
There's a rookie that will apparently be drafted this year who will come in quite high on the most mental NFL name list.
Takkarist McKinley.
I honestly have no idea what that first name is meant to be.
I just pray that Kobe Buffalomeat makes it to the big leagues.
Victor Cruz & Rashad Jennings have been cut by the Giants.
Matt Elam won't be back with the ravens, and he's decided to make free agency as much of a challenge for himself as he can.

Top work.
There wasn't a hope in hell that he was going to stay. He was lucky to get last season at the club.
He's been fucking horrible since Day 1 after being labelled as 'The Next Ed Reed'.
Adrian Peterson is hitting free agency.
To the Texans please.
The cowboys don't need him any more and I think he fancies Texas.
Eric Berry 6 years, $78m which makes him the highest paid safety and gives a nice 'ending' after beating cancer.
Eddie Lacy thinks he might be staying in Green Bay, he clearly loves the cheese.
Antonio Brown has been given a 4 year extension worth $68m.
Browns have given Isiah Crowell a second round tender which should see him stay.
Giants have tagged JPP, he said in January that he wouldn't sign a 1 year deal so could expect some resistance there.
Steelers have tagged Bell.
Panthers have tagged Kawann Short.
Jamaal Charles AND Adrian Peterson?How lucky are the GM's right now that can choose from either from them?I just hope "my" Seahawks pick either one for veteran status.

Browns better not make a play for one.
Can see the Niners paying a crapton for one of them.
Jamaal Charles will be forever my number one fantasy pick that I didn't want to pick in the first place
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...n-kirk-cousins
Cousins has been tagged but with the exclusive one so no one else can negotiate with him unless they get permission from the 'Skins. So it looks likely that he'll be there for another season at least.
$23.94m for the season.
Can Cousins pull a Josh Norman and refuse to sign it in order to listen to offers?
Both Charles and oAP hitting the market could tempt some into biting. I'd love to see Jamaal with us for a season or two. Doug Martin and Alshon Jeffery are also tipped to be let go. The latter is already being linked to the Colts.
I don't think a player can refuse an exclusive one.
Franchise tag deadline is up.
Some good names have not been tagged. Stephon Gilmore, Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Williams, Terrelle Pryor, Donta Hightower and Dontari Poe are all going on the market unless a deal can be reached by the 9th.
From an offensive standpoint, Pryor is an interesting option. He can cover many positions and looked good, playing with shit, in Cleveland. He also wont really command a massive paycheck compared to say, Jeffery.
We were never going to tag Williams, we don't have the cap space to designate the tag and then negotiate.
We're either signing him or we're not.
I hope we keep him but I don't see it sadly.
They've just done the coin toss for 14th/15th pick. It landed in favour of Vikings so we get 14th pick in round 1.
Howie Roseman loves a good trade too, so we may well move about a bit before the draft actually starts.
I'd love it if Brandon Marshall comes to Baltimore.
You're favouites for him as it stands and we're looking into Brandin Cooks.
He's another player I think Brees makes look good, but he's fast as hell and would give that deep ball we need. Only sticking point is the Saints apparently want a 1st round pick for him.

Oakland/Las Vegas are wanking furiously.
A WR has taken 0.02 seconds of CJ2K's 40 yard dash time at 4.22.
6ft 3" Tight End, Evan Engram, who is 234lbs, ran 4.43.
Only 4 WRs and 2 RBs posted an equal or better time than that. By all accounts he's blown people away across the other disciplines too.
Him and DeShaun Watson have shot to the top of their position, at least until pro days. McCaffery also put himself towards to top of the RBs. Maybe ahead of Fournette now.
Christian macaffrey is absolute mental as a player. He's a nightmare hybrid between wr and rb.
Bellichick is probably creaming at the thought he drops to them. He was quality at Stanford.
Hopefully he doesn't end up at the browns. I loved joe Schobert at Wisconsin last year and he went 99 to the Browns which was all intensively career over.
Didn't realise Denver had so much cap room to play with. Glad Elway doesn't have a reputation so far for being held to ransom by guys he doesn't really rate.
I don't think he drops to the Patriots, especially after this combine, he's probably RB 1 off the board. If you look at everyone picking top 15, only the Jags, Saints(maybe) and Eagles you can say don't have a guy they can fully trust at RB, while the Panthers could well use this opportunity to add a quality RB like the Cowboys did last year.Originally Posted by Foe
The rumour is that the Patriots will trade Garoppalo for the Browns #12 pick. If that happens it probably means Brady has told Bill he intends on playing at least 2 years more. However if I was the Browns I'd be rubbing my hands together. They traded the chance at Wentz away last year to get the extra picks this year. They need defensive help and not another in the endless QB line. Myles Garrett is by all accounts the best player in the draft and they should take him first 100%. They then have another go only 11 picks later. For me they should jump at the chance at taking another top defensive talent, whether it be someone like Hooker or Peppers.
Their offense is okay. Not great, but not the worst. But they also have a massive $100m in cap space free. If they add the above players to rookie contracts, they'll still have all that cap space. They'll have added quality in depth that is also young and can go about turning that $100m into a serious return. First priority needs to be getting Pryor back or finding someone in free agency who can fill that gap.
They could go a long long way to fixing the team this off season or they could be the Browns and trade it all back for yet another QB.
When is the draft anyway? Years of following the Packers has made me completely switch off in the offseason and just see what they turn up with in September.
Around the last weekend in April usually.
You're doing the right thing Giggles. The draft and all of the build up to it is utter shite. It takes them all night to do 32 picks of players you haven't heard of.
Everything between the Super Bowl and week 1 is utter bilge, outside any dealings that directly effect your team. And even those are mostly boring at the time (big name signings aside, I guess) unless you're an absolute snore.
I bloody love the draft process. If you spent any time reading NFL news in march then when April rocks up and its draft day you basically know the guys that are going and pretty much when. It just takes a tunsill, manziel or qb trade moment to make it.
I regularly rewatch the 2015 and 2016 draft I have recorded.
Jesus.
I'll watch a draft but re-watching it? Bloody hell.
You should watch the TTH fantasy draft, Foe. It's even more exciting & unpredictable than the real one.
Featuring such exciting selections as Pleb, taking Gostkowski in the 3rd round and using an "all the Chiefs" strategy. I can't see how he came last really.
Exactly. You'd never see that in the real one. Except maybe from the Browns...
Brandon Marshall has signed with the Giants. Garcon to the 49ers expected tomorrow.
The Giants have a pretty potent passing attack.
Just need to add AP now to give them some sort of semblance of balance.
Apparently the Bills want 3 of our players. Wagner, Juice Check and Aiken.
That passing attack just has one pretty big weakness in it.
I don't think they should add through free agency at RB. Although I thought they were drafting lower than #23 when I was typing that. If they could sneak themselves into the mid-teens with a trade they should absolutely take a RB. Whether that be McCaffery, Cook or Fournette if he's still there. Beyond that there's maybe Kamara and not much else you'd be risking a top pick on. They already have a great team everywhere else and it's a pretty young one too.
There was a report kicking around yesterday we were looking at giving the Saints our #14 pick for Brandin Cooks. I know Howie loves a trade, but there's no way in hell that should be entertained.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...d-right-tackle
Lions will sign Wagner at an average of above $9m a season.
He was predicted to get around $8m a year. Bulaga is currently the highest paid RT at $6.7m a year so they're smashing the market to get him.
We've also cut Shareece Wright and Kendrick Lewis which is amazing as they were a shambles and counted a lot against our cap.
Webb, Dumervil, Pitta, Watson, Zuttah, Arrington and Wallace need to be dealt with next.
We need the cap and I imagine that we'll do deals with Pitta, Arrington, Wallace and maybe Webb or Dumervil.
I also don't like that Torrey Smith was cut by the Niners, there are rumours that he will come back but he's shit.
There's also rumours that your lot are interested in Torrey Smith.
Whoever 'wins' his signature will lose.
I'd take Smith over losing our 1st round pick, if it comes to that. Even given how shit he is. I'd much rather be working on Pryor right now, but we don't have a great amount of cap room.
Roma's getting jettisoned.
Romo to the Jets or god forbid Bears.
The Texans should be interested. But yeah $72m.
They'd start romo, he'd get injured and replaced by osweiler who would subsequently be benched for tom savage.
Hoyer to the 49ers. The Bears are going to have to sign a back-up and resign Cutler or go QB at #3.
Dumervil has been cut.
Right decision although I thought they might keep him. He's been on the slide and injured a lot recently.
Patriots are trading for Dwayne Allen from the Colts.
Depending on what they pay, that's a good deal.
He's skilled but has underperformed which is a formula that works for the Pats.
