What the Hell? No way. This better not be true. I wouldn't trade Desean Jackson for anything less than what Seattle gave up for Percy Harvin. Desean has proven more in this league than Harvin and is much healthier. If they trade him for what amounts to a mid-round pick, I will be angry.

Jackson shouldn't be traded. Period.

He had some column up yesterday where he ripped Holmgren for not putting offset language in Weeden's contract. Then he issued a correction the next day b/c the Browns had in fact included offset language. He definitely likes to rip people he doesn't like, and won't let the facts always get in the way of it. He's also oddly loyal to Hoyer. I wonder if he is a source

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Over past 3 seasons, Cam Newton has been sacked or hit while throwing or rushing 467 times, more than twice as many as any other QB.

I wonder what the number is over the past two years. Seems like RG3, and to a lesser extent Luck, have been hit a lot too, given they both run more than most

e: damn 504s

Panthers need to trade either Charles Johnson or Greg Hardy to the Raiders. Clears some cap room and helps the Raiders get to the cap floor.

Welp, my faction is now comprised entirely of garbage players on PS2 now, I think all the good ones left for Titanfall or something. No more playing objectives, just going to farm kills from the air.

Derrick Gunn said that the reason compensation would be so low for Jackson is that he is known as a player that "quit" on his team when he didn't get his contract.

Gunn also said the Eagles tried to move Jackson at last year's draft for a 2nd round pick. Gunn said no one bit at it and they moved off that price.

Gunn says Eagles would likely get a 3rd or even a 4th for him if they moved him.

Jackson was informed last week that the team wasn't shopping him, but that they are listening to offers.

I'd trade a Vita for Jackson and a trainer to train him where the end zone starts.

There's another Tom Brady fan on here? Also, I said this because Gunn also said that New England would be a good landing spot for Jackson because of Belichick's discipline and strong locker room.

No mention that Belichick harbors a murderer on his team because he was on of the best TEs in the league. Dirt bag who protected a serial killer.

Well we've got $7m and change in cap space.

So yeah, you're right.

If you guys are going to throw the towel in for a season anyway, I don't know why Getts doesn't gut the roster down to the bone, eat the dead money this season and come into FA next season with cash on hand ala the Raiders. That doesn't mean he has to make a massive splash but he can get pieces this year and next year in the draft and fill in holes as he builds the team. You have a strong front 7 and a QB. Two big pieces right there.

Saints have signed WR Joe Morgan (@jmthegreat) to a one-year deal!

I don't even know that is and we can't sign him.

Bill loves Desean.

I don't know exactly why, but he does.

And about Spikes... he was a shadow of his former self last season. He knew his time was up, and he just stopped giving a shit.

I don't think Getts is necessarily throwing in the towel on this season though. I mean yeah, we're down Gross and Smith, two stalwarts and very, very hard players to replace, but take a look at last year's FA signings:

Mike Mitchell, FS - 1 year, $1m
Tedd Ginn, WR - 1 year, $1.1m
Captain Munnerlyn, CB - 1 year, $1.1m
Dwan Edwards, DT - 2 years, $3.6m
Drayton Florence, CB - 1 year, $940k
Chase Blackburn, LB - 2 years $2m
Colin Cole, DT - 1 year, $840k
Travelle Wharton, OG - 1 year, $1.1m
Quintin Mikell, SS - 1 year, $1m

These guys all played crucial roles last year and were all had for peanuts. We got 9 significant contributors for ~$13m total. I think Getts feels like he can make these types of signings again late this week and if he hits on his draft picks, maybe we'll still be able to compete while in the midst of fixing the cap sheet.

Bill Voth ‏@billvoth 25s

This would be a good signing akin to the above. His mentor is Thomas Davis IIRC.

Spikes knew it was his last season before it started. Not attending a part of training camp and all to work out by himself and all that.

Dude played well on te field, for that I could miss him at times, but he's a Class A cunt off the field, so good riddance.

Also, him changing his Twitter bio from 'Hell on Earth' to 'Finally Free'. Classless fool

In 2012, @ gregcosell called Andrew Hawkins "the ideal slot receiver" with "great lateral quickness" # Browns http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/shutdown-corner-we...06717--nfl.html …

Hawkins is ours now/ Yay!

Watched the video. Kinda funny he'd want to come back after we didn't originally sign him like he said. Then again new regime and all that.
