heath miller has retired

Evan Mathis: "The Broncos team I was on would have eaten Chip alive. I don't think he could have handled the plethora of large personalities."

former players talking shit about chip kelly has been one of my favorite parts of the offseason

So does anyone else think Forte is going to go to NE? Seems to be the popular destination and really I think how good Forte is in the screen game, even at his age, I could see him at least being a good Kevin Faulk style player for them.

Strategically to me, I think I would like to build off throwing more to a back than the seam guy. It seems that clubs are loading up on DBs to combat the big wideout. I think I would be looking for a FB/H Back types in the Keith Byars, Tom Rathman, Daryl Johnson types and trying to find guys that are players that could block to do ball control running, but can be matchup headaches to LBs/DEs and could be used in the running game. I think going with a FB or second TE gives a team options to pound the rock on the ground and work in some time clock management.

texans have released arian foster. will be interesting to see what happens with him, i am sure some team will take a big money gamble

charles johnson also released. less of a dice roll than foster but will again be expensive

wtf

rgiii officially released

i would like him to succeed somewhere. ppl love to theorize about his personal failings but i would much prefer the story of his career to be that a terrible football organization nearly destroyed him but he bounced back and became the player it looked like he could be somewhere else.

well, there's certainly no way any team could treat him worse, except maybe the browns i guess

i don't know what is definite and what isn't but i read today kiko alonso + bryon maxwell are going to miami and demarco murray is going to tennessee.

calvin johnson officially retired

:'-c

wow, I guess better to retire a year early than a year late

So is there another thread where people are discussing what a piece of shit it looks like Peyton Manning is?

This is the last thing I read about it

http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/03/01/peyton-manning-jamie-naughright-1996-incident-greg-johnson-voicemail

brock to houston. denver had 2 qbs now they have none.

matt forte to ny football jets

dolphins cut brent grimes

speculation is the Broncos will pursue Kaepernick?

@mflynn3
Wow I know I'm going to get killed for this and I don't have a lot of room to talk, but this latest QB contract is unbelievable........

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 3m3 minutes ago
For Olivier Vernon and the #Giants, I'm told it's the biggest defensive end deal in history with the most guaranteed money

more sandwich recs pls

i like vernon idk if its an overpay i mean prob it is but w/e

it (weirdly) occurred to me today that i miss clinton portis

looked him up to see what he's up to and learned he filed for bankruptcy a few months ago : /

with the giant hike in the cap teams are going wild and i guess it doesn't really matter, not as much as it would ordinarily. vernon is a very good player, at least they're paying for m/l a sure thing. meanwhile, the saints are paying 7m/yr for coby fleener. and to think they used to have a TE worth about that.

damn that is a shame about portis. to run the gauntlet as an RB and stay in the league a long time, then get to this point. whatever the story that is a bummer.

osweiler... is bad

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dc-sports-bog/wp/2015/12/22/clinton-portis-sets-the-record-straight-on-his-bankruptcy-case/

sounds like he had a bad gambling problem.

Everyone in the media is ripping the Browns for letting their players leave, even though 1. we all knew that was going to be their plan going in, and 2. history has shown first-day free agents are always overpaid.

that's a spicy meatball sub

mark sanchez to the broncos!

guess there's another superbowl in their future!

SANCHIZE IV: THE HORSENING?

er, III, rather

philly it getting a 2017 conditional pick. honestly turning sanchez into anything, even a late round pick, is a miracle

i guess the broncos figure that they won a superbowl with a backup and a coatrack, why not get both for the price of one?

its not prima facie absurd no, esp. if they retool as an almost entirely run-based team

this though, idek:

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Major QB development: former Redskins QB Robert Griffin III is scheduled to visit the NY Jets later today, league source tells ESPN.

yes, the jets and the new york market is exactly the right environment for rg3 to turn his career back around

well if he's willing to sit for a year behind fitz (or more likely just wait for dude to break something) and keep a low profile it might work? Gino is toast out here.

reasonable plan if they pony up and pay fitz, but that's strangely up in the air rn. which is kinda baffling. like, dude, you worked really well in a system for the first time in a whiiiiiiiile, and...you wanna roll the dice on that happening again and keeping more than the bare-minimum-guaranteed part of the deal?

agreed; putting rg3 out there as a start-of-the-season starter under literally any circumstances is asking for trouble and any formulation that runs the risk of that happening is dumb

I'd think the Jets probably should sign Fitzpatric for good money for short years and draft a QB that could perhaps be ready to start in a year or two. It is the Jets, so whatever is the right decision, they will most likely do the opposite.

I'd think SF would be the place for RG3, considering they got one of the coaches that developed that style of offense he played at Baylor.

Classic free agent Mexican Standoff going on as it looks like everyone is waiting for the first team to make it so on the mediocre QB line. I like the idea that Kap would go to the Broncos, but he want them to beat Cleveland's offer. Fitz is 33 and holding out for the only big payday of his career, as he figures he is better than a couple of these guys that got paid (and he might have a point). I figure once those two go then where RGIII goes will happen. Same thing happens with baseball and NBA free agents more often.

There needs to be a 'replacement level' like term for the top of the bottom of the barrel like there is 'elite' in the QB mouthpiece ranking system.

dbrickeshaw ferguson retires cos he watched Concussion

"Since seeing Concussion, I can’t avoid wondering if I am in danger of experiencing some degree of brain injury when I am done playing. It couldn’t happen to me, right?

"... Though I cannot remember ever having a concussion, I now know as an offensive lineman that it is the frequency of collisions that can ultimately lead to brain injury. It’s a different conversation when you are involved in the story and not just watching a movie about it. I fear the unavoidable truth is that playing football has placed me in harm’s way, and I am not yet sure of the full extent of what it might cost me."

you forget that these guys are in their twenties and this shit simply hasn't occurred to them

which is to say "one forgets", not calling you out spottie

Yeah it's crazy and I don't blame them for retiring b4 it's too late. Get that money be smart with it and get out

the way the game is played is necessarily gonna change if/when 75% of the players opt to play three years and bounce.

Pay college players imo

cosine

it is kind of amazing that i knew more about concussion protocol last year than an o-lineman in the nfl did tho

Probably one of those "I really don't want to know" type of things. Ignore it til you can't ignore it anymore

http://deadspin.com/former-saints-defensive-end-will-smith-shot-to-death-in-1770120005

From the Deadspin comments: "This is really messed up. I'm on the corner where it happened. People are saying it was a fender bender that got heated. I was here when they took his wife away on a stretcher. She was yelling for Will. Really tragic."

Fuckin hell.

Omg

Unfuckingbelievable. tragic beyond words.

this rams trade for #1 pick is frankly bizarre and imo the most weird but also cynically brazen attempt to sell tickets based on a high profile trade

I hope it blows up in their faces. So stupid. Why not wait for a qb in the next two years in the draft whos actually worth trading for?

guy from north Dakota moves to la and hilarity ensues

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cgb5BlAUMAAZEYk.jpg

better choice than christie imo but not by much

the eagles are a garbage team that do garbage things

Browns trade down to 8, get 3rd, 4th, 1st and 2nd round picks.

perfect timing there

2016 4th swapped for 2017 4th, so on balance a 1st, 2nd and 3rd across 3 drafts to move up 6 spots.

great move for cleveland

Browns picks for 2016:

1st Round (No. 8 overall)
2nd Round (No. 32 overall)
3rd Round (No. 65 overall)
3rd Round (No. 77 overall)
4th Round (No. 99 overall)
4th Round (No. 100 overall)
4th Round (No. 138 overall)
5th Round (No. 141 overall)
5th Round (No. 172 overall)
5th Round (No. 173 overall)
6th Round (No. 176 overall)
7th Round (No. 223 overall)

all quarterbacks imo

can't believe two teams have paid bounties to trade up in this draft

Brian Billick ‏@CoachBillick 32m32 minutes ago
The real winners today? Goff and Wentz. Both avoid Cleveland which has become the QB graveyard.

i read that piece on ESPN today about the browns passing up Roethlisberger in the draft and it made some good points but if Ben went to Cleveland i imagine he'd have been a physically and spiritually broken man by the end of his rookie year.

is this dude from north dakota actually good

apparently josh norman is a free agent now??

Eagles move seems odd. They usually are pretty tight on money, so they probably have room in their cap to carry 3 qbs. Bradford being signed might be a good trade bait either around draft, end of training camp if rookie looks good or next year if they switch during season.

norman to the washington football team where he gets to cover obj twice a season

anyone else watching the draft

Goff gonna be legit.

chip kelly is a joke

Best Browns draft in years.

well it's easy when u have all the picks

this tunsil shit is fucked up

That statement from his sgent was... not good.

agent

Chip Kelly just traded up to draft a guard. Is there anything funnier than sports?

c'mon how could the Tunsil pick be any more a classic Dolphins pick?

it's too funny to even hurt anymore.

Each panther represents more than one thing. One represents the offense, the other the defense. And because of what they are and who they’re standing next to, they represent North Carolina and South Carolina. And then you take all three of them together, and I think of them as three panthers because Mr. Richardson is definitely a Panther.

topiary shrubbery ftw

needs more panthers imo, what about west carolina?

anyone watching HOF ceremony?

this from debartolo's speech was <3 <3 <3

He said about a week after he was selected for this Class of 2016, he received a package in the mail from Walsh's son, Greg.

Inside was a small 49ers helmet with an inscription from Walsh. It read: "I knew it was just a matter of time. Congratulations on your election. Love, Bill."

yeah that was p great

favre talked for nine years about his dad & his family & didnt hardly thank any of his teammates & i wasnt surprised but it still annoyed me

also from the speech his dad sounded like duvall in the great santini & it made me feel kinda sorry for him & explains a lot if even 10% true

i wish there had been a speech for stabler. i didnt realize madden couldnt make it :/

Well done, Canton.

Like what the MLB did to Ron Santo, it is total b.s. to put in Stabler right after the guy died.

Browns are trading the sixth overall pick from the 2013 draft, LB Barkevious Mingo, to the New England Patriots, per source.

it is hard to tell within the context of the browns but he is a m/l acknowledged bust at this point, but who knows? very curious about what is going the other way

that's a Key and Peele name isn't it

Browns got a fifth round pick and got rid of a fucking terrible player. Score!

glad you are so upbeat about getting a pick at the bottom of the 5th as a return on the 6th overall from 3 years ago.

5th rounder is an actual cost tho, hopefully this won't be another guy brought in and cut before the season starts

busted qb or nah I'm glad kaepernick is being vocal about his support of BLM. the fallout is...exactly the shit show you'd expect, sadly

Trevor Siemian is the only QB w/ 0 career passing attempts to take over a defending @SuperBowl champion in Week 1.

kaepernick is having a hard time speaking intelligently about what he's trying to do but god bless him for trying

What is Kaepernick thinking right now? He already was toxic in the league because of the relationship stuff and how he handled his injury. This is such a bad time for him to do this.

not to cast a gimlet eye on what he's doing, i am into it... but he hasn't been happy there in a good while & given that context it sure feels like something from the Randy Moss "get me outta here" playbook

but simultaneously smarter & dumber? if that makes sense?

idk

Even before this went down, there was talk that the Niners might cut CK, I'm sure this is now a more complex PR situation for all involved. And for CK, I'd sadly think there are going to be few clubs that will take a chance on him going forward.

I'm sure his heart was in the right place, but in the end he is just sadly sacrificing his career in vain.

i don't know exactly how good kap is as a qb, maybe dead average for the league. at the very least you've got to think there's 10 qbs who he's an upgrade over. this is going to hurt him but it is not going to make him unemployable in the hardest position to fill. it'll be one more thing ppl use against him if he plays badly but it'll be forgotten about if he plays well.

The one tweak CK could have done to his protest that I think would have perhaps worked better was for instead of sitting on the bench would have been to knealt down in prayer for peace and change during the anthem.

That I think would have perhaps gotten as much coverage but perhaps would have taken out the 'disrespecting the flag' angle.

but he didn't want to do that

i think more telling than the protest is the response of garbage white athletes i've never heard of (and jim harbaugh).

i know it's hard to believe but maybe CK is just doing something he thinks is important regardless of how it will impact his career?

yup

@murphPPress
You could hear a pin drop on field as Bridgewater was tended do on ground -- silence only broken by several F-bombs players screamed#Vikings

that sounds bad

Kaep's career is going to be fine, stuff like this always gets blown up in the preseason because there's nothing else to talk about. As Roberto mentioned there are a bunch of teams with bad/unproven QBs, and even though he's been garbage lately there was a time not too long ago where he was spoken of on the same level as Russell Wilson. QBs get a ton of chances in this league...look at Matt Cassell. Or hell, even Tim Tebow.

kaep has been garbage at basic QB stuff for like a year and a half now, not just 'lately'.. it's like in "rookie of the year" where he injured his hand again and goes back to being a scrub. idk, he looks completely over his head. and he's the last qb you'd want out there running chip kelly's offense. basically setting him up to fail.

he was so fun when he had his confidence and nothing to lose

yeah the dropoff has been quite remarkable but I would guess a lot of teams are banking on the hope that he just didn't mesh well with Chip in 2014 (as a lot of players didn't) and that his shoulder injury in 2015 was worse than we thought. I think he can still be successful with the right coach but I also feel you gotta simplify the playbook a lot for him.

he didn't play with chip in 2014

and he had a good relationship with Harbaugh iirc

shit. I got my teams confused. Ignore that post. I forgot Harbaugh was still there in 2014. And Chip was still with the Eagles. I'm dumb.

either way someone will take a flyer on him

Minnesota may have a vacancy

more like deadknee bridgewater

do other teams have players threatening to kaep? there's a maybe-practice team player who has been saying he'll sit in the upcoming game and philly media has been reporting it as a breaking story.

Bridgewater's injury sounds pretty horrific.

Good stuff on #VeteransForKaepernick

So other than NE, who is going to be any good?

I can't really tell at this point.

green bay probably most promising in the nfc. i think vikings still have a reasonable chance at a wildcard but that division won't put up any resistance otherwise. seattle will still be a force, they do appear to still be declining from their heights but still it is only one year they've had off from the superbowl. i guess carolina have concerns with their secondary now, no josh norman and no safeties. arizona are probably the closest to gb/sea if palmer stays alive.

afc looks generally the worse of the conferences at the top again. hard to know what to expect from denver. pittsburgh i guess? them and the bengals from the north, the ravens seem to have real problems still. maybe one of the teams in the south will be good???

Colts maybe? Second Pitt. Figure Hawks should be decent again.

oh shiii

that's actually from several weeks ago. if he had done it after getting all that attention for the national anthem thing, i'd have rolled my eyes

washington hatcats will be super good this year.

that name still makes me happy

where to buy kaepernick's socks?

After the head of a national police organization blasted Colin Kaepernick on Thursday for wearing socks with cartoon pigs in police hats, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback said he didn't want the apparel to distract from his protest of racial inequalities in America.

On Instagram, Kaepernick said he wore the socks in practice to make a statement -- but did so before he made a public stance by refusing to stand for the national anthem at preseason games.

According to USA Today, Kaepernick has reportedly worn the socks as early as Aug. 10, but he had not been asked about them. Images of the socks were posted on social media Wednesday night and quickly created a stir.

"It's just ridiculous that the same league that prohibits the Dallas [Cowboys] football club from honoring the slain officers in their community with their uniforms stands silent when Kaepernick is dishonoring police officers with what he's wearing on the field," Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, said, according to USA TODAY Sports.

"I think the league is in a downward spiral regarding their obligations to the public under [commissioner] Roger Goodell, and this is just another example of that."

MAKE NFL GREAT AGAIN

i had an hour long argument with my conservative mother in law about this

Relatives that watch a lot of Fox News seem to really enjoy arguing. It's like a cult.

Shaun Hill has had one of the stranger yet very long careers in football. It's even different than someone like a career backup like Don Strock who pretty much always played for the same coach and whose career straddled between two Hall of Fame starting QBs.

http://www.nfl.com/player/shaunhill/2504833/profile

Basically the guy was a back up for 5(!) seasons and only threw 1 ball then was a backup in SF. I really only first remember seeing him play that year he played a bunch for the Lions, don't really remember him on the Niners but they are rarely on TV around here and were not very good at all those years.. Odd thing is that he has been kinda effective in some ways at least compared to other long lasting backup QBs. I mean 62% comp. percentage and his QB/Int ratio isn't horrible nor really is an 85.2 career QB rating. I guess the knock is that he took a bunch of sacks, but that is better than throwing an INT I suppose.

Bradford to the Vikings for a 1st and a 4th...yikes!

That's pretty much saying to me, they are not sure Bridgewater will come back and some stories said it might take two years for him to do so since the knee came apart.

Vikings are built to win now as the defense is there and AP isn't going to get younger, so I can kinda see the gamble.

It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Eagles probably weren't going to be there this year anyway, those picks kind of make up some for the haul they gave away to get him from the Rams.

my first two thoughts

a. oh no chase daniel starter

b. congratz mcleod bethel-thompson!!!

wow what a mind meltingly stupid trade for minnesota. is bradford even an upgrade on shaun hill, especially minus an off season?

have iggles undone every kelly roster move now?

except obv for not rehiring mccoy jackson + maclin :(

Eagles might finish with worst record in the league, and... THE BROWNS HAVE THEIR PICK!!!!!

Chase Daniel always looked ok as Alex Smith's backup.

Numerous caveats there obviously

Shaun Hill was generally okay for the Lions. Bradford ain't exactly an upgrade

I think the reality is the young players the Viks drafted over the past couple years are going to be running into end of rookie contracts, so they are gambling on the now rather than wait till next year.

Is Bradford an upgrade...maybe, if he is healthy.

it's such a bad situation for bradford to go into - starting for a 3rd team in 3 years and w/ zero time to practice + develop chemistry w/ the offense before being thrown out there. it's almost not his fault if he can't put it together but there's only so many chances the guy gets before he's written off imo. wouldn't be surprised for this to blow up big time on the vikings. meanwhile philly must just be writing off this year bc chase looks like a mess and after a few losses fans will be demanding wentz go in.

i am torn between wanting to bitch about how i think this is the first season in a decade that I'm going to only casually watch and wanting someone to start a week one thread

One thing I heard on the radio this morning driving was that part of the deal why Bradford was chosen was that he had already played in the style offense that Norv Turner runs both in St. Louis and with the Eagles this year.
The Vikings didn't throw the ball that much last year as, they were 32nd in passing attempts. Turner is going to run the same offense he did with the Cowboys over 20 years ago, give the ball to AP 25 times a game and run play action passing. I'd figure Bradford would be way better suited to running that offense than that Star Trek crap that Chip Kelly was trying to run last year.

They gave up a 1st and a 4th. I don't think it was quite the Herschel Walker deal. 1st round picks are a crap shoot even for good clubs. I give them some credit for making it happen "now" and not waiting. I think to some extent they over play how 'complex' all this stuff is to some extent. Sure working with people over time improves things, but their D is built to win now, so I give them some credit for trying to go for it.

Sounds like it would at best be early next season until Bridgewater would be ready anyway and some reports state he might be out two seasons as since his knee gave way, it's going to be a bit more dicey to heal.

Think about the Browns a couple years ago that had a good D, solid O-line and the worst QBs in football...only thing they got was fired. Same deal with Rex with the Jets and the Bills a few years ago. Free Agency means clubs turn over every 2-3 years.

10/23 with the Vikings in Philly is going to be interesting now.

Being a Bears fan and watching Urlacher and Briggs play with so much scrub QB play, it would have been nice if the McCaskey's would have made the deal to get a QB when those guys were in their prime. Criminy they rode sexy Rexy and Weirdbeird into a NFC title game and a Superbowl... By the time they finally made the deal for Cutler, everyone was either gone or old.
