Bills released Fred Jackson, didn't see that coming

 

[the collector]

Chicago cut Jennings. He started 74 of the last 78 games.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Texans need RGIII

They needed someone, some of the names tossed around were pretty scary

Gonna need Dallas to get on the phone with him ASAP. Would be a good replacement for Scandrick and a good fit since he's familiar with Marinelli's system.

what do they honestly expect to get for RG3? if he isn't your starter then let him go

why would you want the back up QB being a huge distraction

 

[Lovetohate3000]

nobody will trade for rg3.

I mean, you have to explore trade possibilities. If there's the slightest chance that someone will take a flyer on him in return for a 6th or 7th round pick, you pull the trigger on the deal.

We all know the writing is on the wall. He had his chances and ultimately showed that he couldn't run the offense or protect himself from potential injury. Potential injury is what's key here. Skins picked up his option for this year, but if he's hurt going forward, the team is on the hook for 16m in '16.

I have a feeling he'll be cut before Thursday. They can't go into the regular season with this being as big of a distraction as it is. Cut your losses now and fully embrace the rebuild. Trust what Scot is doing.

That being said, I think there will be a complete coaching overhaul at the end of the year as well. One thing that I read that was interesting is that I'm sure in Gruden's interview he made it known that he could/would work with RG3 to get him back on track, and as a Skins insider put it:

Kevin ‏@HTTR24_7 17h17 hours ago

Nobody thinks Dan has a right to be pissed? You know he's stubborn & vindictive. Jay took the money to fix RG and hasn't put in much effort

This is exactly why I think that barring the team winning 7/8 games and showing promise at QB, there's going to be a lot of turnover both on the roster and the coaching staff.

 

[the collector]

Release him and take the money hit.

 

[nick.]

@Jeff_Legwold: #Broncoa have traded T Chris Clark to Texans for 7th round in pick in '16.

Sides went in thinking judge could rule today. RT @MikeGarafolo: Brady hearing over. No settlement. Decision expected today or tomorrow.

this whole thing is making the NFL look like a joke

 

[Hahahaha]

Injury prone and low football IQ. Who's trading for that and to pay him 15 mil this season? Even good teams that need a QB (Hou, Cle, Buf and others) I can't see trading for him.


Finally started Hard Knocks. Enjoy it way more than I thought I would. Didn't see nearly as much JJ slurpage as I expected. Cush is a clown, bullying Blue. For what? O'Brien seems cool to me and Hopkins seems a little sweet.

 

[stillin729]

even if he gets cut, I am not sure a team would even bring him in for 2015

 

[Hahahaha]

I don't know, there's a lot of desperate teams on one hand. On the other, there's been reports of him having issues with coaches and teammates since day one so teams might not want that in their locker room.

 

[nick.]

@AdamSchefter: U.S. District Court Judge Berman will issue Deflategate ruling this week, as early as Tuesday, no later than Friday.

 

[skurrtskurrt29]

Oh, somebody will definitely pick him up if he's cut. I'm sure there a few teams that think all RG3 needs is a change of scenery and will put in the work to try and fix him.
