[dontbelikethat]

Free-agent defensive end Greg Hardy has started negotiations with a team that does not want to be identified, and others are interested as well, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.

In the last 24 hours I spoke with 3 #NFL sources and I was told by everyone that #******** will take Marcus Mariota if he gets to 5.

 

Draft rumors...we'll see.

 @greggrosenthal:Two FA pickups in NFL history spent 1 year w team, won SB, made 1st team All Pro: Deion and Revis.

I just thought it was awesome the parallels between the 2. Only difference is that Revis is gonna top out at 1 ring

.

I'm not even too mad he left,perfectly confident in BB and his plan. They've won before him and they'll win again without him 

. Not too comfortable with the thought of dishing him out that Jets type money though

I cant see it.. for what gruden wants from the QB spot AND their experience with RG3..

plus I think they go with a pass rusher.. randy Gregory, shane ray or fowler jr.. maybe beasley

Some other tidbits...

Wilson K. Tarpeh Jr. ‏@WillieTspeaks 5m5 minutes ago

Cully during last 7 games of the season: opposing QBs completed 16 of 38 passes for 192 yards, QB rating of 45

Cam Inman @CamInman · 20m 20 minutes ago

I'd say Chris Culliver was the #49ers most aggressive cornerback over the past 4 years. Didn't always succeed but feisty & liked challenge

Keep an eye on Dashon Goldson for #******** FS spot. Of course, a natural connection to McCloughan. Expected to be release by #Bucs.

Fairley, Long, Donald, Brockers, Quinn

.....

Jesus

 

[str8drop]

Rams front 7 :x

 

[dontbelikethat]

That DLine isn't even feasable on Madden, crazy stacked. Interested in seeing the $$. Only thing to like is that it takes away money they can spend on their offense.

Rams want to be first team to starting running base 5-2-4?

[Hahahaha]

Antrel Rolle almost signed with Washington, that would have been weird. We let him go and gave Dwayne ******* trash Harris a bigger contract :x

Giants will finish in 3rd or 4th unless we miraculously get some O line help.

#Rams signed DT Nick Fairley on a 1-year deal worth $5M base, source said. He can make up to $7.5M in incentives. A prove-it deal.

U got nothing but salt in your system. Not sure why....

Goldson, while not a world beater, is >>>>>> anything we put out at safety last season.

I'll celebrate an upgrade, which he would be.

Again, the ******** are having a strong start to the offseason.

No leaks, no drama, just actual SOLID football moves.

McCloughan is the man. Pigskins should be feeling pretty good about the teams future.

In all, Kelly is committing a lot of money to his running backs. Let’s assume that Mathews’s deal eats up about $4 million in cap space this year. Assuming that it has a roster bonus, Murray should come in at about $9 million. The Eagles already have Sproles on their cap at $4.1 million. Even if they cut Chris Polk, that means about $17 million in cap space is committed to running backs.

The only team that even comes close to the Eagles on running back spending would be the Vikings, who have $18 million committed to backs this season, but $15.4 million of that money belongs to Peterson, who is likely to be released or traded. Otherwise, nobody else is spending more than $10.9 million on running backs, which leaves the Eagles as an enormous outlier in terms of how they’re choosing to use their cap space.

Here’s the simplest way I can put this: Pretend, for a moment, that the Raiders or the Jaguars or the Browns made this exact same pair of moves. They would be the laughingstocks of the league, fools making the same stupid mistakes that bad franchises always make. The Eagles understandably aren’t being painted with that brush because Kelly has earned a certain level of credibility as a forward-thinking coach. With the moves Kelly has made this offseason, that credibility is on the line.

LOL.
