That's too bad Grovo San. You look mighty kawai today btw, bitch.
Side note regarding Ubisoft games: Primal is surprisingly fun. Can't wait for Far Cry 5 though.

I might if it doesn't suck. I'm waiting for the dust to settle to see what the reception is like.
That would be really strange, if true. I don't think I've ever seen a trade-up deal that didn't happen on the day of the draft. Why trade up if the guy you want may fall to you at #13? Or what if the guy you want ends up going before #8? It doesn't make much sense to trade-up now, before free agency has even started officially yet, with the draft board still in a state of flux.
I agree with effzee. This is a cap shedding move first and foremost. Any picks the Eagles get in return will just be a bonus. I'm expecting late round picks.
Man, what the hell is Von doing...

Lol one year too late.. Could of had Mariota last year. So if i'm reading it correctly, Murray and keep our 1st pick?
Pepiope, Titans has tons of picks this year so giving a 4th had a part to make the deal happen.

I don't know who hates who more, Fake Chris on Miko, or Greg on Olivia Munn
Another excellent article and insight from Les as usual.
Claims Kiko wasn't part of the initial trade talks (as I suspected) but when Miami insisted, Howie wasn't exactly opposed to it.
I really really hope the defensive moves are being made with proper consultation and input from Jim Schwartz. We are now paper thin at LB, CB, and Safety. They will need guys through FA and the draft to make immediate impact and I really don't trust Howie making all those moves/pick ups.

I feel like it won't have much replay value in late game. GAF seems to like it now, so give it a month for them all to hate it.

GAF loved Destiny during the Alpha and a bit less during the beta. It wasn't until we found out exactly how little content was in the vanilla release that people began to turn on the game.
So yeah about a month, if not 2 weeks is all it'll take.

I have it friend, I saw Relly had it too last night.
I hope people laud this move only for the salary shed and not because of the picks they get back. I am so sick of people praising picks in exchange of actual players. Considering the % of guys who amount to nothing (are cut) from any round of the draft but especially the later rounds, it drives me nuts when fans get worked up over getting picks back!
High round picks I can see but am I as a fan supposed to be excited for picks in rounds 5-7? Especially when the FO running the draft is very hit and miss? For every one quality find in those rounds, you get 5 busts who at best play STs.
If the salaries could have been reworked or just wasn't as high as it turned out to be, I would have loved to have seen Kiko and Max well still on the team over possible replacements to be found in rounds 3 and on.
I meant to say "end game" not "late game". But I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen that fast lol.
Destiny for all its flaws is still a pretty decent FPS experience content wise, and is even better gameplay wise. But for a while on GAF it became the most hated thing ever.
Division's cover system is really cool, and a lot the tactical gameplay is appealing to me. However, I'm really concerned with the content and how fast it may burnout for me. I played the beta and thought it was so so.
This is around the time where no big games are coming out so people will buy just about anything and latch onto it. That's another reason why I'm sort of waiting things out.
if I had to sign him it would be to a min deal for 1 year with a 2nd year team option.
0 bonus and 0 guaranteed.
He has to earn the trust of teams after his off season mess.
I dunno I feel like this year is disproving that. We're barely three months in and we've already had fire emblem, the witness, SFV, far cry, and have dark souls and uncharted right around the corner. I usually use this time for backlog but there's a ton of stuff out now

Sounds like Raiders are landing Osemele.
I'm bummed but that's a LOT of money for a guard...

Vikes really would benefit from landing Iloka.

I think he meant as in being on GAF and not in RL
I got SFV and FE, I haven't played that much.
Perhaps I'm just getting left behind lol, but yeah I guess you're right. I'm really into Smite lately, has me excited for Paragon and Overwatch coming to consoles this year.
Must have seen Dwayne Allens contract..
Elway would never take a risk on Johnny unless it was the most team friendly contract in the world, and even then he'd be a backup. I think his best bet if he wants to stay in football is to try to get a coaching job or something at a college, but he'd probably screw that up too
Gronk is getting paid more than Allen over 4-years (whoever said Allen was getting paid more was off), but yeah, Pats are getting a lot of fucking value out of Gronk. He's probably gonna get it, Pats cut a lot of guys without batting an eye, but he's by far the best TE in the league. Not even close.

Osmele is going to sign with the Raiders..
I would figure that the draft plan is mostly defense because that Offense is looking rather solid.
Am I wrong Raiders-GAF.. Just every draft pick on the secondary?

Ravens linked to no one. Not interested in acquiring players, only losing talent and extending Flacco.

Yeah making a move to trade up now makes no sense at all. They guy you like could easily drop down to 13 for all we know now.
Ya, but getting rid of said players to save cap was going to happen regardless, so if the team willing to take on their contracts is also willing to give up a higher pick, then you make the deal.
Increasing the odds that you get your guy in round 1 is worth it, and if some team reaches for a QB, or wants to trade up to get one, then you're in a much better position on draft day.

No its pretty much that
I think the only safety we have on the roster signed is Nate Allen
Only offensive need I can think of is a RB that can spell Murray and kick return
This assuming Osmele is playing left tackle
If not then add that to the list
Edit: Actually I'm hearing that he will be playing guard and they are in play of resigning Penn or another tackle
They will be remembered like Montana and Rice.
Supposedly Schwartz likes bigger, more physical LBs. I don't think Kiko was a great scheme fit.

Steelers appear to be letting Blake, Gay and Allen walk. That's 3 of their 4 starting DBs. Blake and Allen I can see. Blake was terrible and Allen was mediocre and is getting up there in age. He was only ever a stop-gap at safety anyway. I'm conflicted on Gay; I thought he had a great year and we should re-sign him. Maybe we still will.
But given the sudden disappearance of our starters, the fact remains that I don't see us linked to anyone either. I can't imagine we think we can draft three starters, and it's pretty clear Shamarko isn't the answer at safety, and anyone still on the team at CB couldn't beat out Blake at CB so that's telling.
I realize we don't normally dip into FA for a stud, so maybe we're gonna cherry pick some middle of the road guys a little later.
At least we don't have Failco.

Just imagine the bitch fit Brady throws if Gronk isn't there for him. I say let him walk.
