Yeah, Ware was 7 years $79 million with $40m guaranteed. Clay is essentially 6 years $69m with $31m guaranteed.

Love the deal for GB.

NFL really needs to start creating videos like this:

Just a fantastic breakdown of why White was suspended AND an explanation of what he should have/could have done to make this hit while avoiding suspension.

Ravens to open the season at Denver.

Yeah Jerry really does like to spend money.

Does he spend more money on his players or his plastic surgeon?

Considering Ware's deal was a number of years ago and contracts are just going up, that really is a good deal for Green Bay.

$500? Should be more like $50,000.

This is the one time I'll defend Jerry Jones but Ware was totally worth that.

I hope he saved the receipt from the plastic surgeon.

D. Ware is worth all the money you throw at him, he's a classy guy and best 3-4 OLB in the game. Waiting for FMT to come in and say Aldon Smith.

 

[eznark]

Aldon Smith is the most expensive player in football considering you need to pay an elite defensive end in addition just to make Smith mildly effective.

Aldon had a torn shoulder muscle since the saints game. At least he has an excuse for his shoddy play late in the year. What is clay Matthews excuse?

11 solo tackles and 4 sacks in the last three games. Guy really disappeared. He even threw in an interception just to prove how worthless he had gotten.

The first 16 years of the Jags franchise is leaps & bounds better than what the Steelers did in their first 16 years.

Yeah he really was impressive in the playoffs. Shut down the great joe Webb and then because he already got a taste of the option qb with Webb he shut down kap. Definitely earned that $30 mil

They put together something similar when the defenseless receiver hitting rules got put into effect, but it was bullshit. Cherry picked very specific plays where it was clear that the defender could have done the exact same thing, but the same technique would have been an illegal hit if the receiver was shorter or if the receiver had reacted slightly differently.

An example of a hit on Ramses Barden was used to show what was legal technique, but only because he is 6'7". Barden had 5 career catches in the NFL at that point.

Lacy not a first rounder? Screw you ESPN.

No, the NHL does that type of video for every single suspension and I think every single fine as well. I don't mean make one generic tutorial video, I mean break down exactly why a specific play was punished and what could have been done differently.

That type of transparency is awesome.

 

[squicken]

Lacy not a first rounder? Screw you ESPN.

Did you not see his pro day? He was winded tying his shoes and had jiggling tits.

 

[Kave_Man]

I really don't understand why people make such a big deal about the schedule getting released, aside from the NFL telling people it's a big deal. Your opponents for the year, which is the most important part of it all, is such a calculated thing and can basically be figured out years in advance. I just don't see what all the hype is about. Obviously the NFL tries to make every thing seem incredibly significant and they would make an event out of watching paint in the stadiums dry if they thought people would watch, but fans that buy into it is weird.

As others have said we need to know when to plan parties and for travel.

I make plans with my buddies for rival teams so we can watch.

And this year going to my first Browns game. Need to know when it is.

 

[darkside31337]

He's not. Running backs are never worth it unless they're the next Adrian Peterson.

E: thanks for the feedback. Titans need a big Rb badly and he's on top of the list. Lattimore might be a gamble in the 3rd round to take.

Joique Bell is "better Reggie Bush"

Thankfully he will never see the field!

Pancakes and goetta is a fucking amazing breakfast. I need to take the time to make this more often.

What does goetta taste like?

I'm on a kielbasa kick right now. Fresh 4 Lyfe (actually, I like Smoked just as much).

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I despise having the draft on Thursday night. Putting it on a work day was such a fucked up thing to do. I used to go every year but now there is no way I can go. The Eagles even have a draft party that is free for season ticket holders but I cant go to that either since I would get home so late. It was so much better as a Saturday and Sunday thing.

I have a test the day after, so I can't watch round 1. Fucking stupid.

Again, if people still wanna join.

Someone needs to make a GAF group on

Albert in MIA to take physical so two sides can talk trade and money

What if he fails 15 straight roids tests, or now that he got paid, cycles off permanently?

I had no idea Tavon Austin scored so low on his Wonderlic, but yeah, most of those rumors were out. The QB section comes out Saturday. That's when it hits the fan

Analysts now reporting Detroit wants to trade back into the 20s to get more picks. Not sure how I feel about that, nor do I see any teams willing to do that.

 

[Striker]

:jnc Watt is going to command soooooo much damn money next year

I always wondered, who are the top FA's next year?

Giants' biggest one is undoubtedly going to be WR Hakeem Nicks. Cruz is still up in the air.

May be that time to use the Franchise tag on Nicks. Will be nice to get out of Snee, Rolle, and Tuck's deals, though.

Dion Jordan would be amazing.

 

[Fantomex]

Fluker seems like a worst case scenario for the Dolphins if they go for an offensive tackle. If they draft a RT that would pretty much cement J. Martin as their LT, and if you're going that route why use your first overall pick to reach for a guy like Fluker? In my opinion they should either trade up to get one of the top three LT's, hope that one of those guys lasts until 12 (Lane Johnson is the only possibility there), don't pick a tackle, or trade down. RT just seems stupid, especially when the only option is a reach to begin with.

I think Fluker is just a really bad prediction. If the phins don't trade up or down I expect them to take a CB with the 12th pick. Picks 10-20 is where draft value pretty much sucks.

 

[LevelNth]

Ted Thompson is a god. Matthews only guaranteed money is the signing bonus. That's nuts. Usually at least the first two years will have some form of guaranteed salary

It's absurdly heavily back-loaded and they are paying him out $27m in the next 12 months.

It's not a bad contract at all, but it's nothing special.
