Cruz was abusing us the past two seasons. DRC and Nnamdi both couldn't tackle.

Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher both can tackle. After the past 2-3 seasons of guys who can't tackle one bit (including Asante) this is at least a welcome change. At least the safeties are improved. And still expect to draft another CB and S early in the draft.

Yea one thing he isn't is a bitch made ball player. He will jam the shit out of anybody and jaw with them all the way up the sideline no matter how much better they are at football than him. And he is a good run stopper.

He falls for way too many double moves and is always late on comeback routes. But he will make the tackle.

Reports now that Delmas has not signed with the 49ers.

Yeah this was retracted a few hours ago right?

Delmas, Woodson, and Reed have all been almost confirmed and then not confirmed.

 

[Futurevoid]

...and lets see where this goes:

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Packers free-agent WR Greg Jennings dining tonight in Minnesota with Vikings officials.

 

[Spectral Glider]

Do Steelers fans like Keenen Lewis or did we just get Jason David'ed again?

Took him awhile to learn the defense his first couple years but he had a really solid year last year as a starter. Was one of the few bright spots of an 8-8 season.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Yeah this was retracted a few hours ago right?

Delmas, Woodson, and Reed have all been almost confirmed and then not confirmed.

Which ever one we get I'm sure I'll hate it.

 

[Bread]

hell yes to leon washington, he's a perfect fit. should be interesting to see him and demps fighting for the starting return spot assuming demps comes back.

 

[B For Bendetta]

Who else do they even have in their back field? Squicken?

Isaiah Pead, Daryl Richardson, and Terrance Gannaway

 

[effzee]

Wat. First Casey, now Barwin? He didn't have a really good season last year, but thats because they were moving him around and Cushing wasn't there to also bring the heat.

Eagles raiding us like its their job. I wonder if they will come for Schaub maybe?

Seems more and more like it. This would be a pretty good pick up for us. And again the more we pick up mid level guys who can start, the better our chances of just getting the best player available at 4

Adam Caplan ‏@caplannfl
Source said Barwin deal is not finalized yet with the Eagles but is close. He's reviewing contract now.

 

[squicken]

Who else do they even have in their back field? Squicken?

Pead and Richardson. They really have nothing in place on offense. From the 2012 finale, the only returning starters will be Bradford, Wells (who didn't finish the game), and Harvey Dahl (missed finale on IR). Only have 3WRs on the roster right now, Cook is the new TE, Long could be LT, Saffold who knows. Givens at least will start. They are adding speed speed speed

Some Bucs news:

@TBBuccaneers: The Bucs have signed two more UFAs: LB Jonathan Casillas and WR Kevin Ogletree.

 

[cajunator]

We like him and fuck you for taking him.

Well he IS from NOLA. He just wanted to come home.
Welcome home, Keenan!

I do like to see fans angry over the loss instead of relieved, because its a sign the player was a contributor. Of course, he will be going to a very different system and a team known for shit fucking defense. Every little bit helps though. He's just 26 too. NICE.

 

[Kastrioti]

You guys almost have to pick Fisher or Joeckel now don't you? Especially if you want to make sure Bush gets to 1800 yards.

Well we drafted Riley Reiff from Iowa with our first pick last year, so not necessarily. I personally think if Joeckel or Fisher are there at #5 you have to take them, but I don't think they'll make it past you guys at #4.

If they're both gone I don't think Mayhew will reach just for the sake of reaching. He'll go with the Best Player Available, which is the right course of action when you're a GM. After Joeckel and Fischer I'm not sure on the other OTs but I'm sure someone else will start gaining hype before the draft.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Holy shit that Heavy dude got roasted, eviscerated and all around other nasty thangs.

Welcome to the deepest, darkest levels of the shame circle brah.

Referencing the same stuff people bring up time and time again is getting roasted? At least use new material. I'm flattered the dude remembers my post history in such detail.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

If Washington signs, that would be the end of either Woody or Demps.

Really hoped Demps could have turned into an X factor with his speed, hope he stays in NE and doesn't return to track. Would be a dick move after he got payed last year.

 

[B For Bendetta]

Brandon Gibson in Miami now? How do they have any.money left?

He can cover and tackle. That works in every defense I know of except the Reggie Bush and Michael Vick defense and it might work on those too but I just never understood how they worked or how they made the defense better by playing offense.

...and lets see where this goes:

:jnc.


Minnesota is where all the former decent NFC North players go to rot. Maybe Urlacher can join Jennings there.

Incarcerated bob has Pats interested in Revis. Wouldn't that be interesting.

So salty.

 

[Bolt Vanderhuge]

All these cuts to the Ravens defense make me wonder if this signifies a lot of belief from the front office in the development of Upshaw as our future stud LB. We didn't see a lot of him in 2012 but then it doesn't seem a lot was really asked of him. Needless to say I'm very intrigued to see just who the hell we draft.

 

[effzee]

Well we drafted Riley Reiff from Iowa with our first pick last year, so not necessarily. I personally think if Joeckel or Fisher are there at #5 you have to take them, but I don't think they'll make it past you guys at #4.

After Joeckel and Fischer I'm not sure on the other OTs but I'm sure someone else will start gaining hype before the draft.

It is not a foregone conclusion we take Fisher at 4. They did draft Danny Watkins last draft to be their starting G. If they believe he can play that spot, and so far he has been a huge bust, then they can keep Todd Herremans at RT which isn't his natural spot but he wasn't terrible at it. Problem was he got hurt and then was out for the season.

And with Vick as most likely our starting QB, RT becomes just as important as a LT. If they don't sign one and Fisher or Joeckel are available you have to select one of them. We still don't know how well Peters will play coming back from a serious injury.

YH or other Eagles fans, has there been any word or update on Peter's recovery?

 

[darkside31337]

Incarcerated bob has Pats interested in Revis. Wouldn't that be interesting.

If they offer the best package then the Jets should do it.

Who gives a shit if they're in the division? It's not like the Jets are going to win the division any time soon anyway.

 

[Dragon]

Incarcerated bob has Pats interested in Revis. Wouldn't that be interesting.

It'd be strange for a bunch of reasons. Bill obviously likes to pay players almost nothing and the Jets trading in the division with a player like that seems surprising.

 

[squicken]

Eagles fans don't get excited about Barwin. Not that good. Better hope the contract is reasonable

 

[JaMarco]

Incarcerated bob has Pats interested in Revis. Wouldn't that be interesting.

Thanks must be given to Tebow.

All good things flow from his sweet, chiseled, rock hard bosom.

Just to close the loop, the Giants have officially signed Ryan Mundy.

Giants just announced S Ryan Mundy has been signed.

Lol Incarcerated Bob.

 

[squicken]

Jared Cook got the most guaranteed money of any TE. 19 million. Has the 3rd most big plays over the past three years behind Gronk and Graham on a lot less targets, but it's still a big risk

 

[Kave_Man]

How is incarcerated bob still around? I figured he'd be tarred and feathered by now.

 

[B For Bendetta]

Yep, but you're right about speed. If Austin is there I bet we take him

Let me believe in this rumor. Even if it's a joke.

 

[squicken]

Pro day blah blah blah But I guess he wowed them all with body control on catches. Never had to show that in games there so it was something that need to be seen

Who knows, maybe he won't be there at 16

 

[effzee]

Yeah PFF is killing the move. That is if they do sign him.

Obviously played well as a result of the talent around him and Wade Phillips but again Eagles lack of talent and depth at LB is glaring. Demeco Ryans might not even fit in the new hybrid 3-4 or whatever they run. Sad since that is why he was traded from Houston to begin with.

I am looking at these signings as capable starters, even if they are not spectacular so that it frees them up to draft the best players available in the draft.

EDIT: Deal is done. Barwin is an Eagle.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Brandon Gibson in Miami now? How do they have any.money left?

I'm all for signing Gibson, might as well keep improving the WR's. They had about 40 mil of cap space going into free agency and they've saved a little more by cutting guys like Dansby.

 

[eznark]

Can't wait til the Vikings give that to Finley next year.

I wonder if he is prepared to go from pitcher to catcher.

I know what you mean, that's kind of why I don't want Jake Long to leave even though he could be a huge liability. The guy has been one of the few great Dolphins players since he joined the team and I appreciate what he's done for them.

 

[RBH]

So squicken, what can I realistically expect from SJAX?

 

[Dragon]

I wonder if he is prepared to go from pitcher to catcher.

I know you're just upset over losing Woodson!

I really hope the Pats offense and Tammy fall apart without Wes and that he flourishes with Peyton.

Lol we cut his dead ass. Did someone sign him? I pity them.

Barwin deal:

Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora

Strong deal for Connor Barwin in Philly - 6 years, $36M, with the chance to earn a max of $40M including guarantees.

 

[Dragon]

:jnc

Is there any question he's going to flourish with Peyton? I saw a stat that Manning completes over 73% of his passes to the slot receivers. Even with Welker's increased drop rate lately he's going to be an incredible asset.
