The Lions added some depth guys at safety, cb, and DT. Seems like Quin is really holding true to building depth, none of the three guys are going to blow anybodys minds but they all sound like solid rotational players that can fill in if somebody gets hurt.

Also very pleased that we re-signed Tahir Whitehead. I was concerned about our LBers, and assumed Whitehead was all but gone but they swung a deal to keep him, great move.

Also, Lions have a meeting with Russel Okung tomorrow. Would be a nice signing if he stays healthy, would definitely bolster the offensive line. I would like to see it happen but wont be upset/surprised if he goes elsewhere.

I'm quietly pleased with the moves we've made so far. Besides Marvin Jones, nothing too flashy but all players with some kind of positive upside for their relative positions/depth. The CB we picked up is quite highly rated as a special teams, uh, specialist.

Okung would be a nice pick up but, to echo your thoughts, I wouldn't be surprised/upset if he ends up elsewhere.

Atlanta lands Sanu to be the new Roddy and may bring back Sean Weatherspoon's weathered knees for some depth.

Their entire defense will have four functional legs.

 

This happened.

The Falcons will set a record for number of disturbing leg injury videos in a single season.

Chris Hogan is expected to sign an offer sheet with the Patriots.

[The Buscher]

Amendola, Edelman, Hogan.

Racistriots.

In duh news: Johnny Manziel is waived by Cleveland.  

[Lineker]

 

[Schlitzbrille]

So in the second most inevitable move this offseason...

[Meacon Keaton]

Rumor has it that Johnny Football has been waived by Cleveland.

Josh McCown's return to the NFL after several years of sabbatical has cost the little alcoholic prick his job.

Can anyone confirm if Johnny Manziel was waived by Cleveland? Haven't seen anything.

Hey Meacon, I hear your team needs a QB!

[Meacon Keaton]

I'd rather us just forfeit the season than bring that overrated piece of garbage in.

I'm interested to learn which of the scenarios being kicked around would you actually want to see happen.

[Meacon Keaton]

I'd be fine with RG3 or Kaepernick. Neither will set the world on fire, but Manning/Osweiler proved this year that all we really need is someone somewhat competent to run the offense while we try to keep this defense together (for the most part) for as long as possible.

Manziel is nothing but a headache and he was never a NFL quarterback. I've said that ever since he was closing his eyes and throwing the ball in the air as a college kid. I still don't understand how anyone who watched him play, and didn't just watch highlights of him running circles in the backfield, could have thought any different. I lost a lot of respect for draft gurus who were creamin' their drawers for him. The guy is a rich, spoiled brat who never had to work for anything in his life. He won't know how to work hard to repair all of this.

[Lineker]

Colin Kaepernick wants to play in Cleveland for new Browns coach Hue Jackson, multiple sources told ESPN.

[Meacon Keaton]

Good on him. Who doesn't want to play for Cleveland?

[Maxx]

Browns be like

Well they just traded a conditional 2017 draft pick to the Eagles for The Sanchize!

[Maxx]

Well there you go Meac, problem solved.
