I was just going to comment on that line. Are you calling one of the most successful teams of the last decade horrible simply because they whooped you in the Superbowl?
Yes.

Yes.
If he is not a #1 then he isn't in the top 15. Like I said he's a nice player and it's a good deal, I don't get why people need to build this into some sort of monstrous swindle though.
Had he gone on the market I doubt he gets the contract he is getting right now, that's really my only point.
Teams that lose their last game of the year are horrible failures.

I can easily think of 15 guys I would rather have.
The truth is boring.
Next you will tell him that power rankings don't mean anything or that 4 win teams with 5k qb's usually don't win the SB the next season.

With Torrey and Jacoby being our 1 and 2, we're really going to be going with the "Fuck it, throw deep" gameplan.

You're acting like that's different from last year.
Schefter said Vikes were possibility for Cruz, but it seemed like he was talking out of his ass
haha that's a pretty good answer.
Exactly. So why would the Rams be in on that? Let the Bears go pay for him.

Depends on the team. For SF opposite VD and Craptree he is very valuable. Unlike Moss, a high character guy who will be a good leader and security blanket for Colin. Any team that thinks it can win now this coming season, Boldin for a 6th round pick at 6m a year might be more valuable than an immature injury prone problem child like Harvin who will close 10 m per year.
lol
Even without Jennings he'd be a #4 in GB. That's three on one team. Obviously he wouldn't be the number one on any team except maybe St. Louis and now Minnesota? So I guess he is a top 40 WR at best. He won't get the number of targets that he got in Baltimore anywhere else.

Flacco is just that elite
Now that sounds like a Pittsburgh fa move. Cheap.
The Steelers won their last game of the year!

How excited would you be if Carson Palmer landed on the Madden cover next year ? I know he has my vote.
They have an extra first rounder, trading Harvin for Cruz isn't the worst deal in the world.

Everyone on NFL.com seems to believe the Broncos are going to pick up Freeney and Mendenhall on free agency. I assume if everyone believe's they're getting Freeney that means they believe they're not resigning Doom.
Mendenhall might be a good pick up, I don't really follow the Steelers, but he seemed to be a good RB in the past.

The more I think about it, the more it just makes sense to use that on a draft pick. Won't get the top WR in the draft, but there will be good options. Keep that OL together and draft targets. Realistically, they are building their team for the guy who takes over for Ponder next year
I live in NYC so I hear tons of the sports radio here and this morning on the fan it was hilarious to listen to just how much the Jets are fucked.
Mike Tanabaum was a terrible GM. The contracts he handed out to guys like Holmes, Sanchez (why the fuck did they extend him?), and coupled with the terrible drafts have really handicapped the franchise. Only 9 million under the cap and even that after cutting some key veterans. About 5 million, at least, of that will be set aside for the rookies they draft. They have no room to sign anyone and are left with no talent at the skill positions (WR/RB), no QB, terrible OLINE, no pass rushers, no LBs, and just one elite CB coming back from an ACL tear.
Oh and he negotiated a contract with Revis where he has a clause against being franchised. WTF?
Plus they have a terrible owner who cares more about selling tickers (Tebow and PSLs) than he does about keeping the talent they do have. They backed themselves into a corner now where they have to trade Revis.
I get why they have to trade Revis. Elite top CB but he alone can't make that D good. Especially with the pass happy league with relaxed rules to promote passing.
They have so many needs on offense and defense, in addition to QB, they have to reload with as many picks as possible and hope to build a better overall team than to keep one elite player. But then why, if you are rebuilding, do you not fire Rex? Why haven't they released Tebow yet?
What are the cap hits for releasing Holmes? I know the way they signed Sanchez they can't release him without a huge hit this season but why is Holmes still on the team?
If Izdik (sp?) somehow turns this mess around he should get the best GM of all time award. He needs to hit 3-4 homeruns this draft alone.
Dream Team blew up in flames but at least we never fucked up our cap this bad and didn't give out contracts such terrible guys who completely ruin the franchise.

Yes.
I'm not talking overall, his age is too big of a hit there. I'm just talking about what he can bring as a possession receiver. Plus when all you give up is a 6th round pick and his salary is 6m, he isn't the same category as the younger, 'true' #1 guys.
I was more so comparing him to #2 equivalents. Like say Brian Hartline.
Doom sounds like he's a goner. Would rather draft a guy than any other rb, save sjax.
He still has his skills and is an athletic talent, but he kind of gave up at the end of the season like Nnamdi. He's only 26 years old. His speed and other talents haven't eroded.

He has a ton of talent but he only plays when things are going well. When the going gets tough, DRC gets going.
~ FRESH BROWNS HUBBUB ALERT DELIVERY COMING THROUGH! ~
Lot of talk on twitter about Keenan Lewis to the Browns is looking ever increasingly likely. Apparently a Pittsburgh station has been talking it up that he's sure to leave.
I hope the Browns make more moves just so I can see the gif more.
Nonsense!
I merely meant those guys are getting HUGE bucks, so it's not hard to value what Boldin brings to a table for almost half.

He had some health problems, but before that he was the best RT in the league and he can also play LT real well. I'm wish I wasn't serious, because we might lose him. Plus, he's a German.
They probably talked, but haven't put a real deal on the table.
In Bill we trust.
smh. They really hate that guy for some reason. Karaft gets putting shit out that they really want to keep him. Then he'll leave and they'll say he never gave them a chance to match or some crap
Sounds like a good team will get him for cheap. Hopefully the Colts!

so many interesting tweets right now, i have to leave for a minute before all the fun starts but here are some
Vollmer is pretty damn good but has had back issues prop up periodically. I'm not sure he's worth elite tackle money for that reason but I would be ecstatic if the Pats retained him somehow.

I wonder if Freeney will at least try harder than Doom if he's with PeyPey. The Broncos are becoming the Colts of yesteryear. All they're missing now is Wayne.

One of the best RTs when healthy.
San Francisco's safety play cost them the Super Bowl and almost cost them the NFC Championship game.
