Ongoing NFL Discussion Thread Part 3

[Derbyblue]

Eagles traded Dion Lewis to Cleveland for Emmanuel Acho. Decent backup Lewis, just not as good as Brown.

Basically depth for depth, though I did think we were fine at RB with Richardson, Hardesty and Ogbonnaya but Acho wouldn't have fit the new 3-4 scheme so can't really complain about the deal too much and maybe one of those back ups gets sent off in a trade somewhere during the draft.

Well we had to finish on a high

[GSC]

Don't think you can get higher than Cherries posting style

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Winfield to the Seahawks.

Sorry Take it to the House!

Nice pickup

[cherriesfna]

THE LEGION OF BOOM IS NOW UNSTOPPABLE, COME AT US NORTH KOREA

[GSC]

When you say come at us Cherries, does that mean north Korea is dividing its forces?

[Derbyblue]

[CFCNick]

Maybe cherries is referring to this

[cherriesfna]

thats tru, the NK leader guy was about to launch the nukes, but then he saw richard sherman, bandon borowner and kam chancellor and earl thomas on the america, and was like, aw hell no, and as wes peak him and obama and dick chaney and bill bellichieck are dicussing peacetalks

[GSC]

I'm just wondering what North Korea would have to gain from aiming at Seattle.

[cherriesfna]

they destroy the most lethal force known to man, the legion of boom,but that impossible cause the LOB wud destroy NK if they attacked seattle

[GSC]

So Roddy White>North Korea?

[Take it to the house]

First big mistake by Spielman I think, totally messed up the process of just renegotiating a new deal with Winfield, who still is a great run defender and tackler and more importantly for the Vikings, a veteran leader. He was still thinking of coming back even after they cut him without ever having a proper discussion about his contract! The front office could have handled it so much better; instead CB becomes an even bigger draft priority.

Apparently the New York Jets are trying to get Mark Sanchez traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers along with Revis.

[JmD]

Apparently the New York Jets are trying to get Mark Sanchez traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers along with Revis.

Those claims have been disparaged by all reporters though.

[NYJ]

I don't think Idzik is even in negotiations with the Bucs. He's played it perfectly so far. As usual, the NY media are coming up with complete cowpat.

Bold prediction: Sanchez has the best season of his career.

[GSC]

Bold prediction: Sanchez has the best season of his career.

16 games on the bench would represent his best season, yes

[Number-25]

Disappointed the Redskins couldn't reel in Winfield. Not surprised though since we've no money and are not close enough to being a contender to make him come for less cash. Still, we've got a few young CBs on the books just now and will no doubt draft at least one other so I'm all for bringing them along and seeing what they can do. Prob makes more sense than a 1 year rental for a 36 year old CB.

Winfield makes a ton of sense for Seattle though. They're definitely a contender and he makes a good defense stronger. Seahawks look very strong right now. Just one injury to Russell Wilson away from having Brady Quinn starting at QB though....... surely that must keep even Richard "The most annoying man in the NFL" Sherman awake at night???

[Pr4wn]

Wilson isn't exactly of a sturdy build either. Injury-prone offensive line could land them in trouble.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Pittsburgh matched offer sheet for WR Emmanuel Sanders.

Also Pats shopping Jeff Demps for a trade like somebody will actually do that

[CFCNick]

You know, I keep checking this thread every now and then and can't believe how much I've missed, even from reporters I follow on twitter!!! I am so off pace with the NFL this off season. Think NHL has started to overtake as my number one North American sport.

I like me a bit of NHL action but still, shame on you MockingJay...... shame on you.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

You've only missed Number-25 moaning about the cap penalty all the time MJ...

[GSC]

Hockey sounds like it should be entertaining bit just isn't

[CFCNick]

Hockey is awesome. 16 days until the playoffs. There's so much drama and passion in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Faith Hill will no longer sing the SNF opening thingy

[CFCNick]

It's ok, as long as they get Carrie Underwood to replace her. Please NBC do the right thing.

[GSC]

Danny Watkins cancelled his honeymoon for offseason workouts.

He'll regret that when hes out the NFL next season

[Derbyblue]

Browns have signed Shayne Graham to a one year deal for the minimum $900,000. Has experience kicking in similar conditions to those he will face in Cleveland hopefully won't be a massive drop off from Dawson.

[GSC]

The Packers and Clay Matthews have agreed an extension to his contract

[Number-25]

You've only missed Number-25 moaning about the cap penalty all the time MJ...

You mean, that's not been entertaining for you????

I promise not to mention it anymore. Kind of gotten over it now anyway I think. Mara and Goodell still suck though

[GSC]

Rumour doing the rounds that Baltimore at Denver will open the season.

And that the MNF opener will be Eagles vs Redskins

[GSC]

Some interesting stuff from Mayock.

Has Hayden>Milliner and doesn't think SD can pass on Fluker if the top 3 are off the board

[GSC]

http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-nfl-combine-hotel-trashed-20130417,0,5352107.story

Later turned out to be WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Mark Harrison

Safe to say the Browns will have significant interest

[Bull]

Materllus Bennett seems like a legend just watched he's interview

[CFCNick]

Only thing I can find on the Giants is we'll open SNF in Dallas and then host the Broncos in week 2.

[GSC]

Revis will be in Metlife Stadium week 1.

So will the Bucs

[cherriesfna]

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

James Harrison to the Bengals is done, 2 years

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Breakthrough: Jets have granted permission for CB Darrelle Revis to visit Tampa Bay and undergo a physical with the Buccanners, per sources.

[GSC]

Hints at a trade when the Bucs are on the clock.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Permission for Darrelle Revis to undergo Bucs physical never would have been granted if NYJ and TB couldn't work out trade. So there's that.
