2015 NFL Off Season Thread

[gunnar hendershow]

Everybody and their mother wants him in Baltimore but they made a statement that they'd sign nobody who has domestic violence in their history, so that should rule him out.

[HC]

Trade Marshall, just make sure Cutler stays for every year on that contract.

[jrhodes]

If we get a third round pick for Marshall I'd be fine with that.

It's a deep WR draft class and clears up some cap space.

[Maxx]

Rumors are the Jets and Eagles will trade picks if Mariotta is still available at 6.

[Szumi]

Looks like I can get prepared for the Eagles to suck real soon. No faith in Chip Kelly's Mariota led Philadelphia Ducks. Mariota is not a NFL quarterback, imo.

[Lint]

MJD announced his retirement

[PatDaMan]

Yeah, I'm kind of resigned to the fact that they're going to make a run at Mariota. Just gonna throw my hands up and let Chip do what he's gonna do.

[Schlitzbrille]

DO NOT DOUBT SIR CHIPPINGTON KELLY.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, just look at all his championships.

[HC]

I imagine it's frustrating to Eagles fans to take a few steps back, lose a homegrown star, and potentially trade multiple high picks for an unproven rookie QB, but it might be for the best in the long run. The Eagles were good and all, but I didn't see them being legit title contenders without some sweeping changes. Kelly's your guy, and you just have to give him a shot at doing it his way. I'd rather have a few years of rebuilding and come out stronger than getting stuck in 10-6 purgatory.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, but this is going to be his third year, where you're expected to have made the most progress. If you're giving up building a defense through the draft (which has been shown to be the best way) to go after a kid that the coach still has a crush on, you better hope to Christ he learns how to read defenses and adjusts his pass locations in the next three months.

[LL!]

Or, you know, just let him tank Philly. Who cares?

[TCO]

If they do go all in on Mariota and it doesn't work out, they're so fucked. He's basically going into Oregon's Offence: The Pro Editon. That'll stunt his growth as a pro QB and if/when Chip goes both he and the Eagles will be years behind.

This pleases me!

[Dan]

Or it could work and they dominate the NFL, winning 5 rings together and both entering the HOF.

Chicago have traded Brandon Marshall to the Jets.

[DFF]

Apparently the Bears are shopping Marshall - looking for a mid-round pick.

No!

Apparently he has been traded to the Jets!

[Twist]

Waiting to hear what Chicago got. Hopefully a third but I reckon a fourth.

[Your Mom]

NO!!! What did we get?

[Dan]

If your fantasy team name isn't "Forgetting Brandon Marshall" next season I'm going to be disappointed.

[DFF]

The Score app I have is reporting it as a 'late' round pick.

In other news, Prater has signed a 3 year deal to stay in Detroit! This has pleased me!

[Dan]

It's ok Srar, Jimmy Clausen has signed an extension
