nfl offseason transactions, fired coaches, general nonsense 2012

I'm not sure that Matt Moore can not be servicable, especially if the defense is there and they can run the ball some.

This is a valid point. I think Moore is slightly underrated among the non-elite qb class.

course now look who he has to throw to

I just realized that my Brandon Marshall jersey was the last one I had of a player still on the damn roster. goddammit.

I own the following Dolphins jerseys atm:

Ricky Williams
Channing Crowder (lolz)
Joey Porter (GEE THAT WAS A GREAT DECISION)
Brandon Marshall (blah)
Chad Pennington
Ronnie Brown

I'm not buying any more ever.

okay, let's say you're the GM of a team that desperately needs a franchise QB after years of failure, how much would you give to acquire a guy like Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford, or Cam Newton, someone who could be the face of the franchise for the next 10 years? between 3-5 first rounders? i dunno, just saying I see where the Skins are coming from in this trade, even if it's monumentally stupid (it only looks "okay" next to the Carson Palmer trade)

i would probably give up completely different amounts for aaron rodgers, matthew stafford, and cam newton. and another different amount for rgiii

on the one hand i really hope it's not the broncos but the ensuing mania over tebow's future would be HILARIOUS & AMAZING

best case is this happens and then manning is forced to retire after a season

okay, how much for Cam Newton?

on the one hand i really hope it's not the broncos but the ensuing mania over tebow's future would be HILARIOUS & AMAZING

taking contracts into account kind of messes up the entire exercise (if cam is as good next year as he was last year, he might be the most affordable player in the NFL) but i'd trade A LOT of picks for either of those three guys

Lions reached agreement with WR Calvin Johnson on a seven-year, $132 million extension that includes $60 million guaranteed.

wow, good news for lions fans. at the risk of sounding like a terrible cliche, CJ really is one of those "once in a generation" guys

the NFL is so lame

or at least it's free agency is so lame

since the game is so risky, everyone just takes the most money. obviously, you can't blame the players in the least for doing that, but it kinda takes the fun out of it. it's like, you can just see who has the most cap space and put the top players on those teams.

also since all the contracts are worth like 40% of what the amount is and basically any player in the nfl can be cut at anytime and the team gets a minimal penalty, the entire exercise is pretty stupid.

ultimately that's what leads to players hiding injuries and not reporting concussions, so yeah I would love to see that changed

bucs steal carl nicks!

and by steal i mean make him the highest paid guard in the nfl

real impact signizzzzzzzz

bills steal mario williams, now boast handsomest QB and DL in league

http://www.celebs101.com/gallery/Mario_Williams/335493/Mario_Williams_Picture.jpg

wow

you know he is going to get injured and leave buffalo having only made 5 or 6 starts. it has a cosmic inevitability about it.

my punching you in the nose has a cosmic inevitability about it >:[

I think it's a rule that if your last name is Williams and you play DL, at some point in your career you have to play for Buffalo.

this deal will lead buffalo to major playoff success and they def won't be discussing cutting him in three years

According to PFT, Dolphins are giving Flynn a low ball offer which should send him right into the waiting arms of Seattle.

WTG Dolphins! Matt Moore or bust!

he looked like a buff businessman in the PC yesterday. that buffalo DL is gonna be insane-o this year

i'm not gonna get mad about the dolphins "low balling" matt flynn until the contract numbers come out

seattle is the team that gave $50m to sidney rice last year, so we'll see what happens

Miami should just change its name to the Fiddlefucks now :/

i'm not a huge jeff ireland fan but i think ppl are getting too apocalyptic over the QB thing... there's no way they were gonna get griffin, and peyton didn't work out but *shrug* -- matt flynn may be good, but if the best case scenario is that he ends up as matt schaub... well dolphin fans could certainly find plenty of reasons to hate matt schaub

and i said before, if philbin turns into a great coach then that's good enough... they'll run into a QB eventually

yup, i do not envy the team that picks up matt flynn

and if the dolphins are actually low balling matt flynn with his old coach on staff, that might give you a hint into what kind of nfl qb flynn is going to be!

brandon lloyd and lolron landry might be going to the pats..

are they gonna be able to find pads to fit laron?

i know right!
he seems kind of nuts. but played really well for washington when he was healthy (when...)

NE also went for reggie wayne apparently but he decided to stay with the colts. burn.

lolron is the newest Jet!

of all the teams to sign with. damn. i hate the jets

the jets needed another lunatic

so glad he didn't end up on the pats, he suxxx

fins sign garrard

oh c'monnnnnn

oh lolphins

Pretty much leaves Jax and Jax alone as Tebow's landing spot, though.

i am still expecting a surprise team to come out of the woodwork to compete for him. vikes? browns?

Browns have publicly expressed disinterest.

interest will come depending on the price -- if they're willing to trade him for two fifth rounders or something i think you'd see some teams think about taking a flyer on him just to have him compete in training camp

Do players get a cut of their jersey sales? Because, like, every single person in Denver and most of Florida bought Tebow jerseys, right? Now he can start from scratch in a new city.

gregg rosenthal has buffalo in the lead, which kinda makes sense considering they signed brad smith to a $13m deal or something http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d827b36c8/article/tim-tebow-stock-watch-where-will-he-play-in-2012?module=HP11_hot_topics

Florio postulates:

1. The Rams.

They volunteered to play in England in part because they believe that it will make them like the Cowboys and Steelers. It won’t.

Tebow could.

Throw in the ongoing struggles to sell tickets (sellouts undoubtedly come from owner Stan Kroenke buying up the unsold seats at 34 cents on the dollar) and a possible move to Los Angeles, and Tebow makes plenty of sense wearing horns from a creature other than, you know, the devil.

2. The Vikings.

Speaking of horns, Tebow could help maximize local interest during what could be a lame-duck season in Minnesota. The Vikings are getting no closer to getting a new stadium built. Tebowmania could be the thing that gets it done.

3. The Bengals.

Wanna sell those empty seats at Paul Brown Stadium? Put Tebow in orange and black.

He’s relatively inexpensive, and he’d help owner Mike Brown shed, to some extent, the perception that he isn’t interested in doing something bold.

4. The Saints.

What better way to push the Bountygate mess off the front page than to give coach Sean Payton a unique weapon?

Once, of course, Payton’s likely suspension ends.

5. The Eagles.

If coach Andy Reid can’t turn Tebow into a traditional passer, no one can.

Given what Reid did with Mike Vick, the Eagles may make the most sense of any team.

6. The Cowboys.

America’s Team can’t be America’s Team without the most popular NFL player in America.

They’d have more than 100,000 for every home game — assuming they can get enough seats installed in time.

7. The Steelers.

Offensive coordinator Todd Haley would surely love nothing more than to be the guy who finds a way to get the most out of Tebow.

Especially since his nemesis Josh McDaniels got fired before he could really try.

8. The Colts.

Concerned that fans won’t show up to watch a crappy team? Add Tebow. They’ll be there.

9. The Buccaneers.

The Bucs bought several big-name (and big-money) free agents in order to fill up a half-empty stadium.

For a lot less money, they could sell the place out every week by adding Tebow.

10. The Chiefs.

Spurned by Peyton Manning an developing a penchant for taking quality players cast aside by division rivals, why not give Tebow the chance to return to Denver once per year?

I could kinda see the Colts thing, actually.
