Texans are having a rough offseason so far. Had to give away a 2nd just to be rid of a guy which really sucks, then losing guys like AJ to a division rival. I don't get why they didn't franchise him.
I am not two time super bowl champ Jimmy Garoppolo.
Sometimes I wish I was though.

It's OK Floyd. Give in to your baser instincts. You don't need to deny it.

I feel this happens often. Guess Eagles can't take everyone.
Molly Qerim. YUM.
At home today so watching me some SAS, MAX, and forgot Molly was on this show now.
Anyway, I get the whole collecting as many picks as possible and building the Browns like Moneyball or the Sixers "process" but I really don't see those systems working in the NFL.
Most rosters are a great or franchise QB away from being relevant or competitive. Who cares if they have 22-25 picks in the first 3 rounds between this draft and next if they can't hit on or acquire a QB?
So yeah keep blowing up your roster, trading or cutting veterans, and stock piling picks but what's the payoff? Watson? Some QB(s) down the pipeline 2-3 years down the road? You get that QB and then you have to develop him for another 2-3 seasons.
So at best they might be competitive in 3 seasons? I just don't see the need for this elaborate of a rebuild. In the NBA yes. NFL? No teams go from worst to first every season.

Its actually a positive, credit to the coaching staff and front office.
Amazing thing is Simon was claimed from the Ravens practice squad and he should garner a 6th round comp pick. Bouye was an UDFA and will get them a 3rd round comp pick

Grossi is now angry about all the Browns moves because he dosent think he can get Jimmy.
Edit: even before yesterday I was pretty sure Grossi would call the whole offseason a failure if they didn't get Jimmy. He actually said he would haha

Getting Panthers O line leftovers. Thats always a great strategy right?
EDIT: Talk coming out now about O'Briens and Osweilers relationship. Basically: not good. Almost came to blows a couple times. Players didnt discuss it with media but osweiler not the most liked person there
hmmm
At least your team is attempting to go and get new OL, where as it appears the Bucs have made no attempt to beef up their line which needs replacing/moving 3/5 of it
Only the best protection for glassbones romo
Also get another 6th for Demps. WHo was signed off the street two years ago during training camp
None of the FA losses are that damaging in all honesty. Losing a talent like Bouye hurts but when the season started he was 4th string and moved up because of injuries
It's a bad year in FA and the draft to need OL help. Nothing really to go around. That alone should make teams like the Cowboys, Raiders, and Titans competitive for the next few years

Well, at least it's only one year. One bleak, depressing and suicidal year. But only one year. It's still a fucking stupid move, though.

There seemed to be a couple decent LT's available and anything is an upgrade over Donovan Smith at the position, he needs to be playing RT. Mangold is out there at Center and it avoids making Marpet move to center which has been a rumor.

His face is very punchable.. is that what you mean? He's too pretty.. hit him with a steel chair or something
Is that what you mean?

Wouldn't doubt that the Ravens still have A Ray Rice version up for sale.

Is Snyder still so butthurt at shanny? Jesus

To be fair, the Cowboys have an amazing line and he still got killed.
ProfessorMoran

Snyder is just extremely bitter, he knows he fucked up with the cousins extension and has no solution at QB, bad move firing Mccloughan though.
To be fair, this year he got injured scrambling
Duxxy3

Exactly. It doesn't make a difference with Romo. He's just injury prone.
ProfessorMoran

And it's a freak injury, it's not like a bad knee or hip.
The video was more for fun but it didnt reference the respective O lines but the quality of pass rushers he would face.Good thing we still have this savage at QB:
Sexay.
According to Matt Miller it wont be Kizer:

I'm not a fan of Kizer.
Didn't like his low effort combine. Lacks consistency. I'd stay away.

Once we get Captain "All Heart No Height" back we'll have the band back together again

the package begins with the #2
can't see us turning down a trade if its good enough, but snyder would rather just let the town burn than give him up for trash
he'll give him a third franchise tag for the lulz

Nfln had a great idea last night. They said cousins should wait until the day before the season starts to sign. Either the Redskins pull the offer because they need to use that money, or he gets to do the minimum for a team that is fucking him over.
Not bad. Wis did alright. This means Kelce is definitely gone though. Between LG and C, we now have Kelce, Barbre, Wis, Seumalo, and Warmack. And I assume they want to start Seumalo and have Warmack push to start. Barbre and Wis can function as swing backups. Kelce just doesn't have a spot anymore

How did this rift with Kirk even start ? Money?

I believe the Niners will get him for less but it will be for a few picks. Shanahan gets his QB.
Sounds like the party's about to get started:
@AdamSchefter
Washington QB Kirk Cousins signed his franchise tender this morning. He is now tradeable.

Trade Cousins, or don't. I don't care anymore. I've moved on to someone else and they make me happy.

He was in Jacksonville last season. One year deal.
