Cleveland has the nastiest press corps in US sports media. They beat New York.

Spoke to source who believes Nick Caserio will bring great scouting report of @MiamiDolphins 2014 personnel plans 2 Bill Belichick @patriots

They didn't know that as they were opening themselves up to Caserio -- sharing whatever institutional proprietary insights one unveils in such meetings -- he was simply taking it in and getting ready to carry it back to mother New England.

The Jets kept a HC who danced in celebration at 8-8, the Bills lost their best coach and replaced him with Schwartz, and the Phins were rejected by 90% of the NFL for their GM job

New England gets a bye every year just by being not comically inept

Going to weigh in on the Superbowl here. Someone linked Brett Kollmann pre-game write up on the Seahawks-Texans game from week 4 of this season. I forgot how Brett nailed how to beat the Seahawks and how everyone laughed at his analysis but he was dead on in his idea: you attack the Seahawks by passing. Especially passes down the seam.

The Texans did EXACTLY what Brett stated and the Seahawks had their worst statistical passing allowed game of the year:

Of course no one remembers because of the now infamous Schaub Pick 6 disease...but oh well. Denver has the abilities and personnel to do the same thing. Big physical WR and TE's who can snag passes over the LB's.

Normally I would dump on New England for that division but that'd be me throwing stones in glass houses since the other NFC North teams aren't exactly a whole lot better.

Yeah but now they have to face a defense twice a year that will be instructed to do whatever it takes to injure the opponents. Not sure Brady will be able to survive two Schwartzings a year.

Swap the Colts and Dolphins. Best case scenario for everyone!

You can throw in the AFC south, AFC west in that group as well. Half of the divisions are joke.

Seeing Marcell Dareus stomp Brady's lady parts will be great television though!

Like last year, this draft doesn't feature an elite quarterback prospect such as Andrew Luck, Cam Newton or Matthew Stafford. Thus, some of the quarterback-needy teams at the top of draft are considering the veteran quarterback market for a solution to their problem. The turnaround success of the Chiefs after trading for Alex Smith last season serves as an example of what a veteran quarterback can do for a team.

One quarterback to keep an eye on for a potential trade market is Steelers veteran Ben Roethlisberger.

Roethlisberger turns 32 in March and is entering the final year of his contract. Sources have told WalterFootball.com that there is some reluctance of the Rooney family to give Roethlisberger another big contract. Pittsburgh has had a history of letting pricey veterans leave when they hit the later years of their career, and Roethlisberger's off-the-field issues haven't been forgotten by ownership. At 32 years old, this is Pittsburgh's last shot at having quality trade value for him. The Steelers also have an aging defense that needs to be rebuilt, and they could decide to start a youth movement in Pittsburgh.

Teams that WalterFootball.com has heard could be interested in trading for Roethlisberger include the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals. The Texans selection at the top of the second round and a 2015 conditional pick could mimic what the Chiefs gave for Alex Smith last year. Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians coached Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh, and Arizona could use Roethlisberger to put the Cardinals over the top to get into the postseason in the NFL's toughest division.

Trade pick #33 for Ben, trade down with Cleveland for their 2 first rounders, draft Bortles at #4 as Bens heir. Don't really lose anything since you now have the Colts pick at #26. DONE!

Yes, the Steelers will trade off their franchise QB in a year - that the article admits by it's very existence - short of anything resembling a sure shot at the position. Walter is apparently a moron and a Browns fan.
