Their dire needs are WR, FS & TE, and I'd argue CB & OLB. I wouldn't be shocked to seem them move on from Hali and Flowers after next season.

CB, FS, TE, and WR, in that order.

Yes, we need good wideouts, but our gameplan works with a more limited toolset (so long as Charles stays healthy). Our secondary needs a lot of help.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel they've done a super bad job of getting Cam weapons besides Olsen.

Their cap is roped by the DE and RB positions. The previous regime's contract on Stewart is killing them now and they have two DE's making a boatload.

Trying to find out more about who the Giants are keying in on and possibly signing at 4:01. I keep seeing EDS and Geoff Schwartz.

DQJ: 42nd out of 55. RT @ConradKazNBA: Karlos Dansby was the 5th ranked ILB by @PFF last year. DQ Jackson was 37th. That seems significant.

Panthers had the strategy to pay RB top dollar and never use them.

Kas, don't get your hopes up on Sammy. He posted a Bucs one a week or so ago. I think there fan submissions he's just retweeting.

I saw the Bucs one but this is the second Lions one and I know he`d rather be in Detroit. A trade up to the Raiders at #5 could work out like Mackenzie said if you guys pass up on him.

Also Titanfall looks awesome, but fuck it I`m playing Dark Souls II right now. And I can indeed confirm it is Dark Souls and it is awesome.

Carolina looks in such bad shape. I know it is just March but it seems so unlikely they can patch enough of the holes to get back to 10 wins this year

They overachieved IMO to get to 12 last year. I predicted before the season that they would be 7-9 at best based off of the talent they had compared to their schedule. But I didn't see the Falcons falling out of the sky, Tampa Bay staying bad, and the Panthers suddenly winning every close game. I'll gladly take that L.

I think we would have seen a regression back to the mean even if they had brought the same team back, but it looks like they're going to lose their starting RT, possibly both of their RGs, all of their WRs, their starting FS, and their only good cornerback. We could see a precipitous fall.

But this is Gettleman playing the long game. He would rather take 1-2 faux rebuilding years and build a team that can last around Cam, Kuechly, Hardy, Lotulelei.

Before FA officially starts, how's TitanFall? For xbox owners

So so good. It is such a fun and fresh game. The way you move around the environment is so well done. I also love taking down titans as a pilot. Burn cards are such an improvement over kill streaks, hopefully more games will copy that system. All games need to add the auto-run for sure. I really cant recommend it enough, even if you dont have an XB1 get it on PC.

When the #Browns reach a deal with Donte Whitner, I’m told it’s expected to be four years for an average of $7M per year.

Should set the market for safeties right off the bat.

I think Houston is gonna re-sign. His market seems to have died down.

How much longer are they stuck with Stewart and Williams?

Running back signings should be interesting.

You could wait and see what happens with the 360 version.

That's what I'm doing. No time to play it right now with Dark Souls II plus I don't have a XBO or capable PC, and this game alone isn't enough to convince me on a XBO. I wish they would hurry up and show the 360 version.

My impressions from what I've seen are that it'll be a fun CoD-ish style game with some interesting wrinkles but not quite top-tier for me, as I generally prefer FPS that are a little more objective and class-based like KZ and BF. I also think random spawns are generally a negative.

Whitners pretty similar to Ward, and for a cheaper price. Wards probably a better run stopper but Whitners better at Pass protection, and whitners had a healthy career so far.

It's the right idea, just sucks to go through the dig out years. Houston is doing a similar thing. Lots of holes and not enough picks or money to patch all of them. Dallas and maybe Pittsburgh will have a Raiders situation soon where they have to waste two years just getting out of the bad deals

But CAR's schedule should be a littler easier, and NOLA seems like they might take a step back too. At least it is a good WR and OT draft

I think DeMarcus Ware to the Broncos makes a ton of sense. Won't necessarily get top dollar, but he'd be a beast opposite Von Miller and would have his first shot at a ring.

Byrd to the Eagles always seemed like the right fit. Fills a huge need and we have the cap space to do it. Would let us take the best value in the first round during the draft instead of almost having to go Safety.
