Thank God!!! I'll be a Titan for the next couple years!!! TitanUp
Need to get the Titans in the playoffs against the Pats.
Mech's gotta be careful. Keep calling the Texans as Pats South is gonna make Pollard injure 2 Texans next year.

Especially if that carries over into the regular/post season.Pats south indeed
I'm sorry, LJ. This sucks for you guys. I'm just really excited.It's funny just listening to Whaley at this point.
Does any other GM get up in front of the media to explain why their org continually fucks up when it comes to resigning their own players? Embarrassing/
Buffalo Bills the Official Farm Team of the NFL.
Texans aint done shit. Dissapointed
It's been Zzzzzzzz. Tired of analysis.

Awesome. The more good safeties on the market the better. I really do hope the Eagles make a huge push for him. I think they are pretty much set at LBer, Cole and Barwin were both good last year and Ryans and Kendrick are both solid in the middle. The need to improve the DL though, got to get a big NT for 1st down. I am happy withn their corners, Williams and Fletcher both played well at times and would improve greatly from having NFL safeties behind them.

I figured you wouldn't be too happy about this. Why do they always let their best players walk? I cannot comprehend the logic.It's funny just listening to Whaley at this point.

So the Bills have $25m in cap space, and the franchise tag for safeties is $8.4m. Seems really odd that they didnt tag him after tagging him last year.

Better than having no players anyone wants. Pats are going to cut the best WR the Rams have had since the GSoT guys

He doesn't want to be there. And no one wants to trade for him when they will have to turn around and immediately give him a new contract anyway.

Let's hope Byrd prefers the Oregon connection and competing to the Browns and Pettine!
People keep saying that the Browns are going to sign him, but if they are planning to spend money on a safety why not just sign the guy they already have? It would be cheaper for sure.

Why does the team care though? Unless they are worried he would hold out, and he played last year on the tag, they should have tagged him and tried to work something out. At least they would have gotten one more year of a really good player for not to much money.

On #Raiders: No franchise tag for DE Lamarr Houston. No communication with LT Jared Veldheer. 11 minutes to go.
And it's official.
Would I send my kids to MJs basketball camp?bionic you gonna send your kids to this one day?
http://michaeljordanbasketballcamp.com/
Of course I would man. Like every father I have dreams for my kids.
Maybe they are not the typical dreams of a lot of fathers or the wet dreams of DM concerning this topic but I would definitely send them there.
In my mind the camp would play out like this. My son would absolutely dominate and I would coach him to psychologically torture any big men on his team when they fail to get a rebound off of his miss so that he would earn MJ's approval. This would leave to an epic one on one game in front of the entire camp. MJ would check the ball to my son who would say he needed to take off his shirt. Underneath would be a Magic jersey that said in sharpie "I know how Magic really got AIDS".
My son would proceed to humiliate and destroy Jordan on the court (who is already shaken up that his secret is out). The game would end with my 13 year old son dunking on Jordan (American History X style), breaking the backboard, and telling MJ that he wasn't shit. The doors to the camp would open and all of the teary eyed kids and coaches who were at the camp would file out (I would be there handing them all Magic and Tebow jerseys) in stunned disbelief finding out that their whole life was a lie. Something similar will happen to you in 3 years when we finally get concrete proof that the XBONE is substantially weaker than the PS4.
But that is just a father dreaming man. In reality my kid will probably be into some bullshit sport like curling or baseball in which I have no interest in.

Definitely possible. I could see his flight from Buffalo to Philly having a layover in NE.

Marrone doesn't want him around if he's not in it for the long term. That's one positive about Marrone, he seems to hate losers, and coaches/players who won't commit themselves to the team.
Unfortunately for Doug, he himself will continue to lose... Hide the dog!
LET THE GAMES BEGIN
What happens next? Free agency on the 11th? When can teams start cutting fools?
I WANT BLOOD DAMMIT! 2-14 someone must pay!

Hoping Denver zeroes in on some good defensive guys. Is D'qwill Jackson (However you spell his name) any good?

Why get a big paycheck with no hopes of winning? Come to New England for a bit less and a chance to win. And you get to stick it to Buffalo 2 times a year.
When did we get so dumb in dealing with players under contract?Pittsburgh Steelers put the transition tag on OLB Jason Worilds. A bit of a surprise.
He sucked a big fat one until he was in a contract year. Anyone who suddenly comes to play during a contract year after years of sucking most likely is not into being the best. Let the fat fuck walk with Woodley and draft their replacements or find equal value in the garbage bin in FA.
Byrd wouldn't want to stop in that Hellhole! Come see your pal, Chip!Definitely possible. I could see his flight from Buffalo to Philly having a layover in NE.

Woooo here we go, hopefully the dolphins pick up a good LT so we can get something else in the draft at 19.

Lol Philly.
Also, I don't expect the Pats to sign him anyway, but if they do, I will visit WW in Germany, take my shirt off and dance around his front lawn.

Eagles are a young team with a young QB and a HC who he has worked with before. Pats are an old team with a very old QB who is most definitely on the downward arch of his career. Also the Pats dont pay free agents, or their own players for that matter.

Mayock's top 5 per position. Nothing surprising. He just adjusted his initial top 5 to reflect reality. No one paying attention should have had Robinson as low as he did

Nothing says winning like paying big money to free agents.

Dolphins can't afford to miss in FA this year when it comes to the o-line. They have a lot of work to do, the draft alone won't cut it. It looks like some talent will be out there, time to see if Hickey can land it.

If we land a nice LT during FA what do you think we should go for at 19?

Sankey as the #1 RB and ASJ as the #2 TE? Nice!!
