2017 NFL Off-Season Thread

[Lineker]

The Eagles have added depth on the defensive line after losing Bennie Logan in free agency.

Philadelphia has acquired defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan and the No. 99 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft from Baltimore in exchange for the draft's No. 74 overall selection, the two teams announced Tuesday.

In other words, the Ravens are moving up 25 spots in the third round. General manager Ozzie Newsome now has four of the draft's top 78 picks -- 16, 47, 74 and 78.

Njokubto Detroit m. Fuck that. Rather have Watt or Peppers if the LBers or DEs are all gone...

Or Cook.

That dude has McCafrey going at 8?????

[Lineker]

Beast Mode is unretiring.

[Adam]

I'm genuinely excited to see if he's still the same, and the Raiders are a good franchise for him to join.

[Your Mom]

Isn't he still under contract? How does that work? Or is sitting out a year enough to void that?

The Seahawks will trade him. They almost had a deal last year until it fell apart and they've been talking to Oakland about a trade for him for about a month now

Yeah, when a player retires he's still under contract for however long the contract he signed for was. So he's still Seattle's. They'll get something for him, he can't just walk to Oakvegas.

[DFF]

Wasn't there something about Seahawks being over their cap if he unretires? If so, they'll likely accept a pretty modest deal to send him to Oakland.

As for mocks, here's my very early first attempt (the back half was kind of rushed a bit):

So it sounds like there is mutual interest between Richard Sherman and the Seahawks about ending his time in Seattle.

There's already been rumblings that New England is very interested, which shock, gasp, horror. I may only watch college football next year if that happens.

God help me if he does go.

Their interest seems to be live and die with whatever happens with Butler so it would depend on what happens with him.

I would be willing to bet that Atlanta is a much likelier destination for Sherman than any other place but that's also me speculating based on the Quinn connection.

[gunnar hendershow]

I get the feeling Sherman would want to go to Atlanta first, because of Quinn.

[thatshortguy]

Hold your horses on that, as he's owed $11m for the next two seasons and they're about to pay more than that for Trufant.  Can't imagine they are going to pay $25m+ for two cornerbacks (one getting up there in football years).

Plus Seattle's asking for a starter and a draft pick, which would make little sense since that would mean Atlanta likely sends one young player and one pick.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, let's keep in mind this is a trade and not a free agent courting. Seattle can send Sherman wherever they want, not wherever Sherman wants. I'd say they're better off trading him to New England and hope they don't have to face him until the Super Bowl as opposed to the NFC Championship.

[DMN in the House]

Sherman and Beastmode for a second and your choice of offensive lineman not named Oswele, Jackson, or Penn.

[Your Mom]

New England is out. The price was too high for them on Sherman
