The #Packers just loss a key player TJ Lang to a division rival. Now Pass-rusher Datone Jones is visiting #Vikings today, source said.
I don't really follow enough to know but based off of Rap Sheet's mentions, seems like not a huge potential loss for the Packers/gain for the Vikings?

Eh.
They're heavily invested in linebackers already.
And he didn't give a shit because he was playing for such an awful team.
He wasn't good the year before either. He's lazy or toast or both.
Report: Physical altercation between Brock Osweiler, Bill O'Brien prompted trade
Damn I must be really behind on news. What the F.

Reminds me of when he yelled at Brady. Brock deserved more respect.

I thought he was OK in 2015.
I'm not saying the Pats should sign him to a big contract. Honestly I'd be surprised he got an offer for 5 million.
Sometimes i feel you dont even try anymore.
Another Howie masterstroke

Hello friends.. happy birthday Mech and Bread. Congrats Effzee..
BG.. we getting complimented on NFL Network for our Oline editions.
We getting serviced BG..
They can get Derek Barnett if he falls to him and solve their need for a pass rush and still find a suitable DB later in the draft.

Not necessarily..

You know the details? This Foles signing mystifies me, but if they can get out from under Daniel's contract it will help.
From my understanding, offset language just means if a new team signs him, that money comes off the Eagles dead cap. So if the Eagles cut him, they owe him $7M. But if another team signs him for $3M, that gets taken away from the Eagles hit, so they would only owe him $4M
His 2013 season was one of the greatest of all time. He is due to repeat after being terrible ever since that year!

Eh, I hope they don't sign him. As I said yesterday he's downhill only, and part of the reason they let Timmons leave was because he lost the speed he had at the beginning of his career.
Also eh. Davon House is visiting, and the biggest problem with the Steelers secondary last year was two rookies starting, not lack of talent. If house signs, Cockrell will be let go, and the Steelers will either sign a slot corner or draft one.

The guy that drafted him didnt even want him back. Reid just let him walk, Foles is 100% finished in the NFL. He just gets to steal a little more money on his way out.
Pretty sure that was sarcasm
I mean sure but they did lose two starters and Brandon Carr is a still a FA too.

Howie is obsessed with OL and backup QBs for some reason. I don't mind his OL addiction, but his backup QB addition is ridiculous.
How about you sign a veteran corner Howie? There aren't many options left.

Claiborne can freely walk out of the door, nobody wants him back. We found a nice CB in the 6th last year, Dallas has opportunities to draft a good player. As long as Carr is retained I'll be happy since Church and Wilcox left

Howies crystal ball has assured him that the best CBs will all fall to the Eagles in the draft and they will all be impact players day one.

Funny how that worked out for Nick. Now he is lucky to even have a job. Crazy he got $5.5m per year.

It's almost like he's thinking "Well we won a few games with no CBs last season, so we can do it again, right?"
I just want one veteran CB signing and I'll be satisfied. I don't think his moves have been bad this offseason other than that glaring omission. Then they can draft 2 CBs and an RB in the first three rounds.

Foles gets $11 million but BobGriff can't get a phone call? Racist much, NFL?

1) That's the thing, his stats/performance isn't going to be that hard to replace. The last two seasons, I think Bryan Hoyer would have given as much as Flacco did. For a lot less money. I understand being in QB purgatory is hard, I'm a Ravens fan, we've been in QB purgatory since Testaverde, but I think the difference in performance isn't as substantial as it should be for the potential difference in money.
2)I don't recall saying I don't give Flacco credit for that win. He was magical and it was a run by him he's never matched since. Never been close. I don't know why I'd expect him to have such a spike in performance, outlier performances, for a run like that again. The real question is, how powerful was that Ray Lewis last ride mojo that got Flacco to that level.

Bob probably tore something while picking up the phone and hasn't been able to return his calls.
Yeah I dunno it's a lot and pretty dumb

How happy must Nick have been to get that call. To go from being out the league to getting $11m.

Source: the Eagles turned $3.225M of TE Zach Ertz' base salary in 2017 into a guaranteed roster bonus, creating $2.58M in cap space.
Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 13, 2017
So the Eagles freed up $2.58m this year but that gets pushed back the remaining years.
So according to Sportac the Eagles are still $8m over the cap, plus they need to clear an additional $5m for draft picks. Gotta be some more cuts coming.

My god at the 9ers being $80m under the cap, how the fuck are they going to make it to the floor?

Hmmmm, can I keep the movies?? I'll give up everything else?
Make it 11 billion and maybe.
That shit is just dumb, but the girl didn't seem too upset about it. We'll see
There's still a ton of cuts coming. At the very least, Daniel, Kelce, Ryan Mathews, and Kendricks will most likely be gone soon

I thought that they couldnt cut Matthews due to it being an injury settelment and that his money still counts against the cap? I heard Mark Eckel say on his podcast that the Eagles were basically trying to renegotiate his contract down to lower his cap hit.
