I, too, know the pain of former Cleveland Browns stars.

Well, this sucks
I actually think there is merit to both. You can probably trade Fitzmagic to the Bills.

Cobb probably talked to James Jones and at the end of the conversation said "Nope"

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Was there actually doubt he would re-sign? I thought that was the biggest given this offseason.

Good on you Cobb.
Also who are the Raiders going to give that money to?
yeah. The Raiders were interested and they have a lot of cap space.

They are probably both capable of following precise directions. Just need a good system
New England won 10 games with Matt Cassell
Why should he? He sees how DeSean was just dropped and LeSean was traded.
His stock is probably never going to be higher than what it is right now. He shouldn't offer the Eagles any discount.
And to comment about McCoy wanting a raise...well duh. The whole assumption since the minute the season ended was how his cap # is too high and they need to restructure which McCoy was open to do doing. That usually means re working it so you get more guaranteed money now but lower the cap hit.
McCoy didn't want a cut and probably expected a restructure that lowered this year's number but gave a big bonus.
Not too worried about paying Maxwell that much money. This secondary has stunk since the 07-08 season. Only concern is if he looked good cause of Sherman and the rest of the team or is he his own product.
If we aren't retaining offensive skill players because apparently scheme overcomes all, might as well throw money at improving a terrible secondary.
I hope this means Maclin will come back. I hope this doesn't set the stage for a spurned Cobb bidder to hand out a huge, unmatchable deal to Maclin.
Edit: effzee, every team in the league that hands out backloaded deals, hands them out knowing the player will never get to the end of the deal without restructuring them or releasing them.
The players know it, the agents know it, and the teams know it.
McCoy was given that huge deal by Roseman following the huge Peterson extension. The value of RBs around the league has changed since then.

Lot of Jaguars fans are hurt tonight. I believe Cobb was the only player they were willing to overpay. I suspect Crabtree is next on their list, maybe Maclin but not at $11 million per year.
Eh, his agent was always going to try to make the Packers feel pressure. Genuinly think Cobb, the player, wanted to stay in GB all along, but that's his agent's job to get the best he can get from the team he wants to be with.
I really want to retain Bulaga, but I really don't want them to pay too much. That or a short contract. Would love to see 2 seasons put together by him without long injury.
Packers generally retain their drafted players for a 2nd contract unless they really think the guy is replaceable.

MECH FOR PRESIDENT!
e: Totally agree that it always seemed like Cobb was willing to take a bit of a hometown discount to stay in GB, but it's just smart business sense to try and get a little more.

So legacy for Cobb amirite
Meh, no big deal for me. I'm down with picking up Julius Thomas and getting a shot at Andre Johnson instead.
With Greg as my VP. Our campaign slogan: "No Olivia's for anyone!'

I feel the same way. Cobb would have been nice, but I feel the Jaguars are pretty much set at WR.

Good on Packers, now you just need to fix that trash OL. I never paid enough attention to which positions were particularly bad, which ones need to be replaced immediately? Depending on which spots, may or may not have a realistic chance of bolstering it much through the draft, obviously.
Saw the Saints weren't foolish enough to let Ingram go after he's finally come along but wondered how much the cap would have been a detriment. He was a guy I felt realistic for us to go after and is actually solid without being injury prone. Assuming we don't bite on Spiller or trade for AP, looks like we'll get Elly's compliment in the draft.

Are you being serious? Aaron was getting wrecked every game I saw and pretty sure I've seen people in here including yourself commenting on the OL letting him get hammered.
Three years ago maybe.

The line was fucking excellent this past season. The bulk of Rodgers sacks (around 60%) are him holding onto the ball trying to make a play. They were terrible in week 1 but after that they really solidified. They'll probably improve significantly (if they bring Bulaga back) as Lindlsey has an entire off-season to work with a consistent squad.

I guess it was anecdotal evidence for me then. They let guys right through on a lot of plays I saw but I only see them when they play prime time or plays on the red zone channel. Based what I've seen, pretty surprised to see you guys say otherwise but you'd sure as hell know more than me. I suppose it's also true that if a OL is doing their job, you won't think about them much and only dwell on when they blow coverage. Unless it's your team, of course. I sure as hell notice when my OL does their job after having such an abysmal line for so many seasons in the past.
Defensive line and ILB is the Packers weakness
It sure seemed like their line was outstanding. Romo always seemed to have a ton of time.

I've definitely noticed more holes on the defensive side but that's probably a disingenuous remark when you have an elite QB. ILB I noticed for sure, all the more emphasized by Clay playing some there... Speaking of Clay, I'd think he could use some help on the outside. FS is set but how's SS?
Based on what stats?
Amazon decided to close my account today because someone was trying to brute force into it. Instead of calling or emailing me, they just straight locked me out without notice. Illinois getting taxed on Amazon purchases now + this, they've lost me as a customer.
