pretty much lol, just get a QB that doesn't fuck up and get the #2 seed and the defense will do the rest
Damn sweet. Thought we were gonna get Jeff Allen but glad we got Brooks. Higher than I was expecting but I need to see the details
Late, but the Megatron news was somewhat expected. I was hoping the longer he didn't announce plans the better chances he'd have of coming back. Thanks for the memories Megatron looking forward to him being an ambassador for the Lions. Not going to lie his letter to the fans had me teared up a little. It was a pleasure and honor to watch him play all these years.
Of course you'll read or hear the Lions wasted two great careers in Barry and Calvin but NFL fans should get used to players retiring in their late 20s, early 30s.
And I love Bob Quinn's first signing, Marvin Jones from the Bengals. He's going to be a great addition opposite of Golden Tate, Eric Ebron and Theo Riddick.
From what I've read he has an extremely low drop percentage, he's young and has produced with decent/average QBs in Dalton and AJ MaCaron. Only concern is ankle injuries, but that's a concern with any player.
This means we don't have to draft a WR in the first round or even the first few rounds.
I really think Bob Quinn drafts DL with the #16 pick or possibly trades down and if LaQuon Treadwell is available we could pick him up.
Obviously no one can replicate what Megatron did but with the extra cap space created I'm looking forward to seeing who else we can sign.
And say what you want about the Bengals but they've been pretty damn good at drafting players these past 4-5 years.

So basically 2 yrs at ~18M/yr with 2 more voidable years tacked on. Still too much for Brock but it's not a bad deal for the Texans.
Heel Slay is best Slay.

I was just thinking this too, everyone was going to compare him to Peyton forever if he stayed with the broncos.

Still too high for my tastes. Good on him for getting that money.

I wager that's smoke to keep the cost of getting Kaep from SF from going up.

More info on Marvin Jones. Now the question is do we keep Lance Moore, a solid veteran WR, or potentially go out and get Anqoun Boldin on a veteran deal.
You can never have to many offensive weapons.

Bronco's gonna be hurting this year on offense 
Good for my Raiders.

Not even necessary. They just need to wait for Chip to leak stories about Kaep being in a gang and then cut him.

PATRIOTS SIGN A FREE AGENT!!!!
Looks like a back-up though.

LOL if living in Peyton's shadow is going to affect him, he's fucked as a starter. I think it probably had more to do with the coaches benching him.

So the Texans backed up the truck for Brock? Good grief. And now the Broncos start over on offense. Watch Peyton come back.

I personally wouldn't have given Brock even $13-15m, but that's just cause I didn't see him as a QB that could win you games, especially since that money could've meant the difference between signing a key defensive player this year or next (when a few more come for FA).
Has Trevathan agreed with Bears yet? Depending on how much he makes, I'd sign him back. The difference between an all-time great defense and a solid defense can be a single player or two. Seattle's all-time great defense took a significant step down from 2013 despite signing all their key players but losing depth.
More okay with Malik leaving since this year's draft is supposedly filled with talented DLs (though I don't follow college closely so can't say for sure).
I'd retool offensive line, and let Siemian or a rookie take the reigns of an offense that only passes like 15 times a game.

Can't be worse than last year's offense.

Apparently SF might want too much for Kaep. Don't overpay!
Denver sports radio in absolute panic! This isn't the end of the world. Man my hometown is dumb at times...

depends on who's gonna pass the ball? Kap?
18 MIllion a year. Crazy. He's getting paid more than Alex Smith, Tony Romo, Carson Palmer. Not saying much but still.

No. He will just replace Manning with another broken QB and win back-to-back Super Bowls.So...is Elway going to beg Manning to come back for one more year now?

I heard the Broad Street Line had job openings they could apply for though, so at least they can stay in Philly.

Good for the Texans. I mean it looks like it's an overpay and I'm not a fan of Brock, but they did something. They always seem to waste good talent with shit QBs, at least they invested in one.
Plus, what was the alternative? Kaepernick? LOL
