2016 NFL Off Season Thread

Matt Flynn was the greatest. Get a ton of money from Seattle, they draft Russell Wilson, Wilson beats out Flynn in camp. Flynn gets to do nothing and make a small fortune, Wilson has to win a Super Bowl and lose another to get paid.

The NFL is funny.

Eagles signed Sam Bradford 2 years/$36 million.

I won't laugh because that seems to be the market price on an average starting QB now.

You shouldn't laugh, because Baltimore is now going to be paying Flacco $20 million a year through 2021.

SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH

 

....next year's gonna be his time...

A small subset of Cowboys fans have moved on from thinking RG3 should be the young QB we invest in, and instead want us to sign Colt McCoy to be Romo's successor.  Fuck off.

[Meacon Keaton]

Cowboy fans need to stop wanting terrible quarterbacks just because they're from Texas. Vince Young is still available too, if you all are interested.

[Maxx]

What's Chris Simms doing these days?

[Meacon Keaton]

He's Paul Bettany's stunt double.

[The Buscher]

I, for one, would like to see the Cowboys invest as much money as possible in Colt McCoy.

His cap hit has been extremely reduced by the extension though so it's all good.

Alex Mack has voided his Browns deal and will test the free agency market.

Speaking of Atlanta, they've released Roddy White.

As much as people will bark about that move, it was the right one.  White admitted he didn't know the playbook (you could argue that nobody in the offense did...hell, through Shanahan in that pile, too.) and looked like he had lost a step the whole year.  Some were clamoring for him to do akin to Fitz and become a slot receiver, but there's really no point in paying him that sort of money to play that role.  It'll probably be Julio and a batch of mid-tier receivers next year, but maybe we make a splash for Sanu or Kearse.

[Lineker]

Houston have released Arian Foster, and veteran tight end Garrett Graham. 

Watch Foster go have a stonking season somewhere else now.

[LL!]

He probably will unless he gets injured again. The guy has boatloads of talent, but is cursed with the injury bug.

[Maxx]

Deflategate will never die and now its speculated that the NFL might actually win its appeal.

[Lint]

Just read that the Jags have a little over $88 million in cap space.  Holy shit

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, when you don't have anyone worth paying, you save a lot of money.

I think that, before the last three years, the Raiders proved this axiom false.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Saturday the Broncos offered Osweiler a three-year deal that can be worth as much as $45 million total. Rapoport adds it ranks about 20th among NFL starters
