2017 NFL Off-Season Thread

[Your Mom]

I'm fairly sure he knew he was done already. While I don't understand that stance personally I say good for him using his status to get his message out

Myles Garrett has a sprained foot and the ride never ends.

Somewhat related, I'm in a fantasy football league (that drafts quite early). We've just finished our offline draft and I managed to get the following in a 12 team PPR league with 2RB, 2WR, 1QB 1TE 1RB/WR/TE, 1 DST 1 K:

QB: Carr / Taylor
RB: McCoy / Crowell / Coleman / Gilleslie / Perrine
WR: Green / Watkins / Fitzgerald / M. Bryant / J. Matthews
TE Kelce
DST Panthers
K Boswell

I'm mildly surprised/pleased at how low some of those guys went. Managed to get Jordan Matthews as late as round 13.

Matthews projects to be the fourth, maybe the fifth read in the Eagles offense this year.

Jeffrey 1, Smith 2, tight end 3, halfback/Matthews 4. He may get more looks due to match-ups, but he isn't their #1 or even #2 anymore.

[Pooker]

Drafting before preseason even starts? Insane!

[Lineker]

Eric Decker has signed with the Titans. 

[Schlitzbrille]

Interesting read.

[The Buscher]

Patriots sign David Harris to a 2-year deal.

Has a team ever mathematically clinched a division before Thanksgiving?  The Pats will take a run at that this year.

Gil Brandt releases list of his top RBs of all time

Yep, there's Ezekiel Elliott clocking in at #26 after only one season in the league.

[Pooker]

I never thought I would say that David Carr's brother is the highest paid player in the league.

[Lineker]

The Chiefs have parted ways with GM John Dorsey.

Elliott being ranked definitely is laughable. 

Once I saw where Emmitt Smith was ranked, I realized Brandt is out of his mind. Marcus Allen is ranked too low, O.J. Simpson too high. And I'd have Walter Payton, Jim Brown and *maybe* Barry Sanders as the only RBs ranked higher than Emmitt Smith. What the hell criteria did Brandt use to make his rankings?

Ricky Stanzi gets a job with the Calgary Stampeders.. Vince Young can't even get a job with Saskatchewan..

[Meacon Keaton]

Well he is 34. And I haven't seen him in a while, but probably 340 pounds.

Hotel is booked for Cards v Rams in October

[Meacon Keaton]

You Brits deserve all the credit in the world. We keep sending the crappiest match ups over to you and you all are still selling out the stadiums every time.

[Lineker]

Yeah I love football but I could not bring myself to subject myself to Minnesota vs. Cleveland.

I'm a Cardinals supporter to be fair

But yes, Minnesota v Cleveland? Why?

[TCO]

I'd watch anything really, NFL football is still the best in the world and an hour flight is nothing to see it.

Heading to Arizona @ St Louis this year and can't wait!

[Adam]

See you there, @TCO?
