2014 NFL Offseason Thread

[DMN in the House]

Oakland basically let a younger, better, player (Lamarr Houston) go, then replaced him with Tuck. Ugh.

Not sure on the Saffold thing. Word is that the Raiders might have done the physical business because they realized they overpaid. Apparently St. Louis said he was as healthy as he's ever been.

Signed Woodley out of Pittsburgh, too...

I am not enthusiastic about this offseason thus far. My only real hope is that Reggie McKenzie is going to follow the Green Bay plan, since he came from there, and work to build the team through the draft. It would take longer, but I'd be happy with that.

On other signings, I don't know why anyone would sign a FA RB, unless it was a resigning. You can draft one just as easily, and cheaper.

EDIT: as far as Sproles goes, I think it was a good deal for Philly. Sproles hasn't taken nearly as many hits as a normal 31 year old back, and isn't going to carry the load for the Eagles, so he should have 2-3 years left of good production. Plus, it gives them a ton of flexibility, they can line him up in the backfield with McCoy, then split the out, all kinds of shit.

Falcons switching to a 3-4.

With the resigning of Babineaux and Real House Husband of Atlanta Kroy Biermann coming back from injury, this could actually work well. Osi wanted to just be a pass-rusher anyways, so here's ya chance, homeboy.

I wonder if that was the plan all along and it just took them two years to implement it because I'm kinda surprised it didn't happen sooner since that's what Nolan has run a majority of his career.

Charlie Whitehurst is getting 2 years, 8 million dollars by the Titans.

Yep.

Charlie Whitehurst.

[Meacon Keaton]

7 million of that he'll use on hair products.

Bucs pick up Evan Dietrich-Smith from the Packers. Another decent addition to the line. This is what I want to see from my team, not some washed up free agent that the local press can jerk off to.

[Meacon Keaton]

Word is you guys also signed a quarterback.

[HC]

Tebow?

[NobBe Nobbs]

Oh yeah, guys, Josh McCown signed with the Bucs. Thought you should know.

I'd love to see the figure Clipboard Jesus has earned to hold his eponymous working tool!

Looks like Steve Smith will indeed be joining the Baltimore Ravens.

If Ray Rice can bounce back, that offense won't be terrible!

[munky]

Apparently Cortland Finnegan's deal with Miami is for $11M over two years.

Wasn't he the drizzling shits in St. Louis?

[livid]

Not really. He wasn't as good as he used to be (was injured a lot) but $5.5M/year sounds about right if he's healthy.

Still have to hope for quality play from Center, RT, a healthy Osemele, and a second TE who can block.

Have at it Cowboys!

Could you imagine if Kaepernick goes down, the Niners sign Tebow and wind up with a Tebow/Gabbert QB controversy?!

[munky]

Michael Oher to Tennessee, 4 years $20M, as per rotoworld.

[TCO]

I'm was completely blindsided by that move.

[Meacon Keaton]

Booooo

[The Heartbreak Kid]

According to NFL Networks Ian Rapport, Oakland signed DL Antonio Smith (2yr/$9m).
