    NFL Offseason News 2017

    Not a story about an opening, but a story about another ex-Packer front office type refusing to do what fans are screaming for. Spend money on FA for Seattle's O line. Pete is speaking here:

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ive-line-help/

    “That’s not how we — ‘OK, let’s take money and put it here and all of a sudden you’re going to get better,'” Carroll said, via the Seattle Times. “You’ve got to get guys that can play worthy of it, and when they demonstrate that then they get paid. We’ve shown that we understand that and are committed to that mentality. I don’t think you can just buy your way to it. We’re not going to do that. We’re not going to go out and spend a ton of money in free agency on one guy to try to save the day. That’s now how we function at all.”
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I completely fell for a promoted Tweet. Took me to this site, where it took me WAY too long to realize I'd been had.

    This seems like the subject of a lawsuit, not a measure of success:

    The #Steelers have released former 1st round CB Justin Gilbert, who they traded for last year from the #Browns.

    You know what? Its almost as if "all available avenues" for talent acquisition are not equal.

    They each represent roughly a 50% failure rate. But one costs you a draft pick and a rookie contract, the second costs you future draft picks and/or players and the third costs you future draft picks and some significant cash.

    Yup, much better to play it safe and fail as well.

    Nope. You use them when your leverage is good. Guion, Peppers, Cook.

    If you don't like football, it doesn't matter how talented you are, your star will burn out quick.

    Playing for the Browns likely has that affect on some players, save for Joe.

    Giants have released Victor Cruz and Rashad Jennings. Gives them about 12 million in salary cap space. Cruz just hasn't been the same since that terrible knee injury.

    Dolphins sign Cameron Wake to 2 year extension. 18 million, 11 million guaranteed.

    Edit: His contract was due to expire after 2017 season. This contract will cover 2017-2018.

    The Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars are working on a trade involving offensive tackle Branden Albert and tight end Julius Thomas, but hurdles remain.

    NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Albert is visiting the Jaguars on Monday to help facilitate a swap. An Albert-Thomas trade would likely happen if both players agreed to new deals, Rapoport reported.

    A trade cannot be officially finalized until the new league year opens on March 9.

    Or maybe still with Thomas?

    My understanding is the Julius Thomas part of #Dolphins-#Jags deal broke down (for now) over what his new MIA contract would be. Lot of time

    Remaking the rosters in 2017, possibly including Davon House, who apparently was the #5 CB by the end of the season.

    Ryan O'Halloran ‏@ryanohalloran 7m7 minutes ago
    '15 FA frenzy
    Thomas: Trying to give away
    Odrick: Cut today
    House: No. 5 CB late in year
    Skuta: two-down LB
    Parnell: Still the RT
    Sergio: HA

    Stanley Wilson might be available at CB after he clears up a small detail.

    He might be a little rusty since he hasn't played since 2007.

    Looks like Thomas going to Miami after all. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...as-to-dolphins
