Procedure went off without a hitch. Now I'm just sitting here with this ugly guard lens over my eye with my head in the clouds til the rest of this sedative wears off.

Congrats. Remember to purple drizzle every cactus before getting sleeping wet.

Glad to hear. Rest well fellow NFL-Gaffer.

If the Fins trade for Maxwell they will have $32m for next season committed to just 2 players on defense.

 

[Colasante]

All I want from FA is the Pats to resign Hightower, Hicks and Collins to long term deals. I don't mind losing Chandler Jones next year.

Pats need a WR and depth to the o-line, cb and d-ine.

I'm not worried about the extensions, save Hicks, who I'm sure will get an offer above where the Patriots are willing to go. Jones probably won't get extended and will net them a 3rd or 4th round compensatory pick when he leaves next offseason.

For my Patriots shopping list, I'd love for them to sign one of Dwayne Allen/Ladarius Green and Matt Forte/CJ Anderson. Beyond that, they'll throw their usual veteran WRs and CBs at the wall and see if any stick. Getting a legitimate backup left tackle would be nice but probably out of their price range too.

They could drop him/restructure easily for 2017 with no hit, it would be 9.7 for this year and if we cut Grimes it pretty much washes it out (he's due 9.5 I think)

If the Dolphins are gonna pay 10 mil they might as well keep Vernon at that price.

Not saying they should do either of those things tho.

Yeah I'd rather let both walk and we just draft a DE in the second.

 

[Hindl]

Oh god Howie versus Chip in a bidding war for a player. Eagles desperately need to sign at least one guard if not 2.

Eagles won't target him. No point he's going to get much more money than Howie will commit. Expect Jeff Allen, or maybe Boone

Is Maxwell a big upgrade over Grimes?

So, a Miami reporter on WIP is saying it could be Brent Grimes going to the Eagles

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Why did the Colts release Freeman?

Less than 20 Taco Bell locations in Indianapolis.

Assuming Google Maps is not lying.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Is Maxwell a big upgrade over Grimes?

At this point yes, Grimes isn't a number 1 guy anymore and his wife isn't worth putting up with for his current production.

 

[greatestjediever]

Watching them set up for Peyton's retirement conference. A wild Brandon Stokley appeared on screen.

It seems like several players stick around Denver after joining the team in their twilight years. I think both Welker and Joel Dreessen stayed in Denver, my guess is Stokley did too?

 

[jbug617]

Eric Weddle wants to play for the Pats but I don't think the Pats have an opening at safety.

Unless the Eagles are getting Miami's 2nd round pick too, that makes no sense.

Excellent. Did you get the pirate's eyepatch? Go around and do the pirate voice all day! Y'arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I definitely don't think he'd be an upgrade over Chung, never mind McCourty.

 

[yankeehater]

Maxwell's cap hits this year is 9.7m, Grimes is 9.5. This would be such a weird deal.

 

[Hindl]

Yeah if Eagles get a 2nd I'd be alright with it. Otherwise that would just be a bad deal for the Eagles

 

[Syrinx]

Nah, just this clear plastic piece of crap.

 

[Himynameischris]

lol no way, 5th at best, maybe 4th since you're taking Grimes anything more and the Dolphins are idiots

Spoiler

so yeah probably a 2nd ;_;

Yep, there it is :lol

You gotta get on that skull-&-cross-swords eyepatch.

Lovie Smith is the new head coach of the Illinois Fighting Illini.

 

[Colasante]

I definitely don't think he'd be an upgrade over Chung, never mind McCourty.

He might be an upgrade on Duron Harmon when they use their 3 safety packages, but I don't think there's a real fit for the playing time and money he's probably looking for.

 

[LyleLanley]

James Develin is coming back to the Pats on a one year deal.

 

[jbug617]

James Devlin is back

Was JUST looking at that tweet lol

c'mon bruh

 

[yankeehater]

hmmmmm

Matt Lombardo ‏@MattLombardo975 2m The#Eagles trading Maxwell would open cap space, but I had heard Howie Roseman was higher on signing him than Chip Kelly was. #NFL

I'm told WR Darrius Heyward-Bey and the #Steelers have agreed to a multi-year deal. Had multiple suitors but believes Pittsburgh is special.

hmmmmm

Could be Schwartz doesn't think he is a good scheme fit?

How ugly do you look?

Good for you that it went well. You deserve some much needed rest.

 

[sf2fanatic]

What is Kubiak chewing on?

 

[effzee]

Yeah outside of the Falcons game he was fine. I think a lot of it was Billy D inappropriately using him. I think he could do better in Schwartz' scheme, but I figured he was probably going to get cut next year anyway. Considering this is a rebuild season of locking in young talent and cutting fat, I could see Maxwell going. Maybe they're hopeful Hargreaves falls to 13. That would allow Rowe to slide into Safety too

Thing is I don't think this is a rebuild year, especially with them bringing back Bradford at what seems like an above market deal.

Could use the money to re-sign Nolan Carroll and Walter Thurmond, meaning Rowe doesn't necessarily have to shift back to safety. Also, JaCorey Shepherd was supposedly very impressive in camp.

I'm not buying into any camp stories until I see it in actual games plus he tore his knee.

I'm not in love with Maxwell nor do I think he was great. Of course he is over paid but Carroll and Thurmond are FAs, Rowe struggled but showed promise, and now if you trade Maxwell you really have no starting CBs on the team.

If they trade him I hope its cause Schwartz doesn't like what he saw on tape not because its a salary cap move.

Way overpaid and I think he wasn't loved in the locker room. MY guess is Howie wants the pick they lost in the Bradford trade and to free up cap space

Never heard any attitude or locker room stuff with him.

Only way I'd be happy with this is if it is because of Schwartz and how he thinks Maxwell fits in his system.

Twitter buzz the Eagles are targeting Texans RG Brandon Brooks.

You got 7 minutes to pay the man Rick! Do it!

Is he the top G available? I thought the Ravens G hitting FA was the top guard this off-season.

 

[JABEE]

Kubiak is boring.

 

[Lonestar]

Movie Time BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Tom Penny]

If the Pats can land forte megatron mario williams and a few good olineman that would be a successful offseason.

 

[MechDX]

Most call him very underrated, just doesnt get a lot of attention but has come along nicely since being drafted and only 26. Expected to get around 8 million a year

 

[yankeehater]

$8m a year would put him at the very top of guards salary. If a team is going to pay him that he better be really good.

 

[JABEE]

Peyton is already crying.

 

[BannedEpisode]

Wallace and Vikings are about 2 million off on a restructure. Likely to be cut.

Phil Loadholt restructured his deal to around 2.5 million one year with incentives. Down from high 7 million cap hit.

Confirmed they have contacted Iloka and are in the hunt.
