Man....how nice would it be if Wilson held out.

[Striker]

If my math is correct, the Seahawks are around 10 million under the cap assuming the trade goes through.

Really??

I have to think that one through a bit.

My reaction was the same after I saw the trade.

Graham is a good receiver but their protection was not great in the first place and they gave up one of their better OL for a TE who's not a strong blocker.

LOL

keenan lewis, who is a CB for the saints has told them he no longer feels "safe or happy with the team being broken apart", and demands that the team either fully guarantees the final 3 years of his contract or release him

good luck with that

the funniest part might be a perfect example of a player being stupid and not really understanding his contracts real value

he signed a 5 year 25 million dollar deal with a 6 million dollar signing bonus, and a large jump in salary from year 3 to year 4. what he actually signed was a 3 year deal

Man The Hurt Locker had just an awful, marred career. 26 and nothing to show for it. But...You're so young! Time to get outta the flow!

This is when a wheeler-dealer like Schneider can get himself into trouble, at times. Those types of GMs can be very good at resurrecting a beaten down franchise, which Schneider very clearly and unequivocally did. Can't argue with successive Super Bowl appearances and one win. But, staying on top sometimes requires a little more restraint. If you are always looking for the next big deal to push you over the top, it can ruin the locker room and team chemistry, let alone change your roster more significantly and in ways you didn't expect.

Obviously, the Harvin deal didn't work as he hoped. I'm not sure about investing a starting center and a first round draft pick in a TE, no matter how good he is. Although, they do need pass catchers. A bit puzzling.

Per #NFL, #Packers tendered restricted free agents Don Barclay and Sean Richardson but did not make qualifying offer to Jarrett Boykin.


I heard he is dating Edgar Bennett's daughter.

Owen Daniels signed with the Bronco's and Gary Kubiak.

Now Mike Shanahan ran a run heavy offense (Kube's was his OC) that made John Elway happy. But Peyton is not John Elway, in some ways, he is reverse John Elway. Flacco is more Elway than Manning.

So I think there is a decent chance of a five-head explosion coming out of Denver this year. And while I feel bad for Peyton, Elway and the Broncos deserve the pile of rubble.

Two missed top 10 QB picks in a row for the Titanics. Not good.

Not buying it.

Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 4m4 minutes ago
Revis's reps have told teams they have $48M for 3yrs on the table now, with $40M guaranteed. My sense if that is from the Jets...


REALLY not buying it.
