Pats make their first big splash in free agency

About time.

 

[Dega]

#Texans expect to sign OL Jeff Allen, more offensive help with a lot of holes to fill.

Who the hell replaced Rick Smith?

BoB

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

Kaep, Oz and RG3. What a lovely bunch to pick from.

 

[Colasante]

Bill's seriously going to troll Patriots fans like that? A special teams linebacker is the day 1 splurge? Good stuff.

 

[Fitts]

Ugh.... I wanted Brock to stay in Denver. Absolutely do not want Kaep or RG3 stinking up the division and don't want to see them on my TV twice per year. Is Fitz still available? He's got that Bills cloud following him, but it beats the alternatives until they develop a young QB, IMO.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Thanks for helping us get that number one seed Brock!

hmmm

 

[rokkerkory]

*waves hello to BG*

Good for him, Browns are a mess as an org

 

[Colasante]

Holy hell, 5 years and $45 million for Mark Barron? I'm glad he's staying in LA since that should be a really intriguing linebacker corps, but damn. He really rehabilitated his career last season.

 

[Godslay]

Heel Slay is best Slay.

Not being a heel.

He helped us to get to that Superbowl.

If he can't live in the shadow of Manning or Elway, or is butt hurt over being benched for a living legend on the final ride...then he can cry into that money down south. I'm fine with that. QB play wasn't the reason the Broncos won much of anything last year.

 

[Tom Penny]

He usually signs nobody until the weekend so that is a big move.

 

[Emarv]

Found the real guy the Broncos are considering for QB.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

No. He will just replace Manning with another broken QB and win back-to-back Super Bowls.

As a fan of a team who also responded to winning an Owl by blowing up the team (did it both times in fact!), I can say with great certainty that this kind of shit does not lead to back to back Owls.

Hell, the time we kept the QB we not only didn't get a repeat, we didn't make playoffs.

 

[KingBroly]

So...the Broncos tagged Miller to try and sign Osweiler, but couldn't. Now what do they do?

 

[Futurevoid]

Chargers:

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 1m1 minute ago
Terms for Travis Benjamin and the #Chargers: 4 years, $24M with $13M guaranteed. $18M over the first 3 years

That's pretty nice for both Benjamin and the Chargers.

 

[ampere]

Brock be ballin' out, just like Kobe

So.. do we start bets on the Texans' record next season?

 

[Line_HTX]

Brooks has walked?

FUCK!!

 

[friskykillface]

Pats will get no one, no oline , want Brady to die

 

[greatestjediever]

Found the real guy the Broncos are considering for QB.

Who wouldn't be a fan of a 6'5" 230lb quarterback with a laser rocket arm?

 

[Dega]

Uncle ricos dream finally coming true.

 

[Colasante]

They're fine on the offensive line. All they need is another developmental swing tackle to eventually replace Vollmer.

One Free Agent player texted me "I need to get to Oakland Bro, they not playing around". #PlayersTakingNotice

[DrForester]

Wow, fuck you Brock, you ungrateful ass.

 

[Crisco]

So...the Broncos tagged Miller to try and sign Osweiler, but couldn't. Now what do they do?

They can still, and should, sign him to a long term deal. He hasn't signed his tender yet, they have until the summer to negotiate a deal.

 

[chuckddd]

Chargers:

Everyone is leaving the Cleve. New Browns theme song.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

We signed a tackle today.

Brady is saved

Wow, fuck you Brock, you ungrateful ass.

Lmao

What should he be grateful for? That the team prefered Peyton his corpse over him?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Wow, fuck you Brock, you ungrateful ass.

Come join me in heralding the arrival of the Kaepernicus Era!

 

[KingBroly]

They can still, and should, sign him to a long term deal. He hasn't signed his tender yet, they have until the summer to negotiate a deal.

It's going to limit their options if they do that.

 

[LyleLanley]

"Patriots LB Dane Fletcher is choosing to retire, per a league source." - @cpriceNFL

Huge news.

 

[jello44]

They can still, and should, sign him to a long term deal. He hasn't signed his tender yet, they have until the summer to negotiate a deal.

18M is ludicrous for a guy who played 7 games and was benched for a broken down Manning.

He was just decent in those games, far too early to tell if he is worth that.

I guess we'll see what he does down in H-town.

Good thing we signed Humper!

 

[friskykillface]

Kaep > RG3

one QB run from winning the superbowl
sign him Elway

 

[bigosc2k]

You mean trade for him

 

[chuckddd]

HAPPY NEW

Spoiler

NFL

YEAR!

 

[friskykillface]

oh, thought he was a free agent

hmmmm 49ers might be trolls and ask for a lot for him

 

[PanicFreak]

It is disappointing that Denver is now without a QB but I don't think that Brock will live up to that deal. I guess we'll see what happens in the future for now I think that the Texans will end up regretting that one.

 

[gutshot]

Adam Caplan @caplannfl
From @AdamSchefter and I: Chase Daniel agreed to a 3-year, $21m deal with $12m fully guaranteed with #Eagles.

Daaaaamn Daniel.

 

[Line_HTX]

I said... Are you ready for this???

 

[jmdajr]

Our QB history is 1 big regret.

 

[squicken]

Lotta money for Chase. Guess Pederson will play him w/o hesitation. Kinda wonder if Howie wanted Bradford back and Doug wanted Chase?

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Everyone is leaving the Cleve. New Browns theme song.

Correction. This is our song

And I should be getting a shave soon..

 

[h1nch]

Feels like a betrayal, though the guy is free to chase the money all he pleases.

Fuck you Texans. I hope this contract winds up hurting you the way Jay Cutler's ridiculous extension hurt the Bears.

 

[gutshot]

Lotta money for Chase. Guess Pederson will play him w/o hesitation. Kinda wonder if Howie wanted Bradford back and Doug wanted Chase?

There's been a bit of speculation amongst Eagles beats that Bradford may not actually remain an Eagle for long. Seems unlikely, given they had a press conference and everything, but you never know.

18M is ludicrous for a guy who played 7 games and was benched for a broken down Manning.

He was just decent in those games, far too early to tell if he is worth that.

I guess we'll see what he does down in H-town.

I remember a time when the Bills traded a high draft pick for Rob Johnson who only started 1 game for the Jaguars. That pick of course ended up being Fred Taylor. Johnson is my 2nd favorite Jags QB behind Bortles.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Our QB history is 1 big regret.

Just by virtue of having a ring, Brock's already the best QB they've ever had

 

[CrocMother]

I mean we joke about it and all, but Bradford is injury prone.

Even if he misses 1-2 games that could be enough to kill their playoff hopes

 

[Hindl]

Adam Caplan @caplannfl

Daaaaamn Daniel.

Huh that's a lot more than I was expecting. Probably a bigger cap hit than Sanchez will be too

 

[yankeehater]

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
The #Eagles signing G Brandon Brooks to a 5-year, $40M, source said.

And there's the guard we needed.

That is a great move.


Holy shit at the money Brok got. Texans better pray that Bob really is the QB whisperer.

 

[Officerrob]

While I don't think Kaep is all that good, I actually think he would be better in Denver than Osweiler

As for Brock, that's a TON of money for a guy with 7 starts
