2016 NFL offseason news and sandwich recommendation thread

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

preseason red zone......exists

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

ffs rodney harrison

rodney...

bummed about teddy, sounds like it is serious.

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
