I thought the latest word was that Jimmy G wasn't going anywhere now?

Last I read was that it wasn't they wouldn't do it, just that they valued him higher than people thought, partially down to Brissett only being 'okay'. Hence why I included Kessler in the potential trade, he'd be an upgrade on him as a #2.

[Lineker]

There's a DB about to run called Xavier Woods

[GhostMachine]

It'll certainly be a new day for whoever signs him...

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm missing the joke. :/

Been some talk that the Bears are looking at Mike Glennon to be their guy since Jimmy G is out of the running.

The Oakland Raiders took a step Monday toward a possible relocation to Las Vegas.

The team informed the NFL that they have secured financing from Bank of America for their potential Las Vegas stadium, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the situation.

The Los Angeles Daily News was first to report the story.

The news comes just several weeks after casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and later Goldman Sachs had pulled out of a plan to build a $1.9 billion domed stadium in Las Vegas. Adelson had pledged $650 million and the Raiders $500 million, with the stadium authority putting up $750 million in Las Vegas tax revenues.

The 49ers are to cut veteran receiver Torrey Smith. And Trumaine Johnson has signed his LA Rams franchise tender.

No real surprise in San Fran. They're gonna burn that team to the ground prior to the draft.

[DFF]

I'm sure Torrey Smith will get a job somewhere else as long as he's willing to be a #2 guy.

You can burn ashes?

San Francisco Soot?

[thatshortguy]

I like it.  Barely even an ember.  The San Francisco Sorta-Fires.

[Lineker]

• Colts keep TE Jack Doyle on three-year, $19M deal
• Patriots extend first-round tender to Malcolm Butler
• The Rams are in discussions with several clubs about potentially trading away Trumaine Johnson
• Niners release veteran safety Antoine Bethea
• Jaguars have eyes for free agent Calais Campbell
• Cards agree to four-year deal with TE Jermaine Gresham

Casserly mock 2.0: Trades of Cousins, Cooks shake up draft

 

Garrett to Cleveland, Allen to Washington (San Francisco trade the pick for QB Kirk Cousins), Lattimore to Chicago, Fournette to Jacksonville, Adams to Tennessee, Cook to NY Jets, Hooker to LA Chargers, Barnett to Carolina, Foster to Cincinnati, Williams to Buffalo. Then Trubisky to Cleveland @ #12, McKinley to New Orleans @ #14 (Philadelphia trade the pick for WR Brandin Cooks), Ross to Baltimore @ #16, McCaffrey to Tampa Bay @ #19, Watson to Kansas City @ #27, and Kizer to Buffalo @ #31 (projected trade up with Atlanta).

Apparently the Buccs are interested in DeSean Jackson. Him and Evans could be a tasty WR combo!

[DFF]

Brandon Marshall has signed a 2 year $12m deal with the Giants! Him and Beckham make a tasty WR combo.

[livid]

Wait why do you keep using the word tasty? 

It is a nice signing though. They get a guy that can do the dirty stuff over the middle and at the same time mentor OBJ a little bit since he's been the problem child before and was able to overcome it himself.

[MalaCloudy Black]

He's just really hungry.

Beckham, Marshall & Shepard, if we're honest.  Sterling and OBJ can stretch the field, then OBJ and Marshall give you great red zone options.

If they can sure up the O-Line, the G-Men are dangerous next year.

[livid]

They also kind of need a RB though too.
