So how mad are you going to be when they whiff for the second year in a row and have to resign McKinnie to a short deal?Per my sources (twitter) Miami is ready to throw money at Albert or Monroe, per a sports editor at the combine, Monroe's agent heard Miami was willing to pay big for Monroe which would explain why Balt/Monroe are 'far apart' on a deal, they are willing to wait and see what Miami will offer.

The only reason I don't want this season to be a wash is Tannehill. If he doesn't improve drastically this year I think he might be done in Miami, but anything less than making the playoffs wouldn't be improvement. I still have some hope for him and I'd hate to see him go somewhere else and be successful.Not as angry as other years since I've accepted that this year is a wash anyways (until pre-seaon when the hype gets to me...)
But in the wake of a Boston Globe report pegging Kaepernick's magic number around $18 million, I cannot emphasize strongly enough how far a deal structured in that manner will fall short.
So I'm going to let you in on another little secret: Kaepernick believes he is a top-five quarterback. Staunchly. Now, you and I can debate this -- and likely will, later in this here column -- but in the end, what I think and what you believe is irrelevant. San Francisco eventually has to get Kaepernick to agree to sign away the next five-plus years of his playing career, and that absolutely, positively will not come cheap. At a time when Aaron Rodgers is the league's top-rated passer at $22 million a year, and an aging Peyton Manning is the fifth-highest paid at $19.2 million a season, Kaepernick feels, in his bones, to his core, that he belongs somewhere between there, and I bet sometime in the next three months he gets just that, same as Flacco and Ryan did a year ago.
Now, Kaepernick would never express any of these feelings publicly, and there's no need for him to. In the end, all the talking that needs to occur happens on the field. The body of work speaks loudest.
So, Kaepernick, if he signs a contract extension with the 49ers, will be doing so in the range of $20 million per season, putting him among the top five or six salaries in the history of the game. Otherwise, he'll play for his $1M in 2014 and then force the issue with the 49ers as to whether they franchise him, or sign him to what will in all likelihood be an even more massive contract come 2015 if this kid continues to develop as rapidly as he has to this point. And you can go ahead and ask the Ravens if they would have preferred to have Flacco signed at around $16.6M annually, as they could have in 2011, or Flacco at $20.1M annually, as was the case when he put pen to paper after winning the Super Bowl following the 2012 season.

Cant reverse that shit either!
Ravens sign Jacoby Jones = Superbowl!
Texans sign Ed Reed= 2-14
Fuck Jacoby Jones.
Ravens hire Kubiak = ?????

Yeah it would be a waste of money to pay all that for Graham. He won't be used like he is in NO and they already have a boatload in Harvin and need to pay some key defensive players. Plenty of viable receiving TE's in this draft.I think trading up for Ebron would make more sense for Seattle. It wont cost 2 firsts, and he would only cost $1.7m rather then the $12m that Graham would cost.

Saints would be wise to get more picks if they can. I'm thinking they could go QB early this year.
I think today may be the tipping point. Not sure I can root for this team after this Aaron Williams extension, this is what happens when you put yourself into a corner. Drafted this scrub to begin with, does fuck all his first two years, they put him out of his misery and move him to safety, still looked lost at times but managed to snag a few ints and ink an extension that pays him top 5 S guaranteed money.
FUCKING KILL ME!

Doug Farrar was the last guy mocking Bridgewater to the Texans at #1. His tune has changed with his latest mock:

If Niners are smart they will make Kap play it out and earn it the way Flacco did.
I wouldn't like it. Seattle's a run-first offense that puts value in blocking tight ends, that's why Zach miller hasn't had all that many catches over the years. Zach however is a good blocking TE and is why I still think we want to bring him back at a re-structured contract.
It'd be tough to convince me that Graham would be worth two of our first rounders. Graham's a great receiver but I've never been impressed with his blocking, and he was a complete no-show in the playoffs. He's also going to be 28 and wants a big, long contract. I'd rather take my chances with an upper round TE (asj, amaro, etc).
That said Grahams a great player, clearly a huge RZ threat and his chemistry with Brees is excellent. I just don't think he'd be a good fit for us.

That was a genius move by the Ravens and it got them a Superbowl.
Fuck paying unproven talent. They can still franchise him if they can't come to a deal after next year.

That's a lot of money for one year of production
Vrabel gives his speech about being the underdog hard worker and they are going to draft Clowney? I just can't see it.

Geoff Mosher of CSN Philly says on PFT Live he thinks Eagles WR DeSean Jackson could be "one false step away" from being cut.

If JFF is at number 5, whats the odds of the Raiders robbing the Cowboys of their draft picks for him?
Low. Cowboys have too much money invested in Romo to make a stupid trade up for Manziel.
Brian McIntyre ‏@brian_mcintyre now
Steelers announce that safety Troy Polamalu has signed a 3-yr deal (2-yr ext). Will free up some much-needed cap space.

Jerry Jones is pretty fuckin stupid. What Cowboys fans don't realize is that he's immortal.

It also cost the Ravens an extra $4m a year for the life of the deal. That money would have been enough to keep Boldin.
No way he wins that SB or has that playoffs if they gave him the big contract.It also cost the Ravens an extra $4m a year for the life of the deal. That money would have been enough to keep Boldin.
Ben would have won both of those games when Kap could not get it done.What the hell is going on there?
Kap and Russ have basically been in the spot Big Ben was his first couple of years. Dominant team where he just had to make a few plays and not lose. Can those two guys evolve to where they can carry an offense like he does, even when the defense isn't so hot? Kap basically just needs to get 17 points on the board and SF wins
