2018 NFL Off-Season Thread

The Titans are getting new helmets, not just jerseys. However, it's just changing the helmet to dark blue with a silver stripe that resembles a sword. They're unfortunately keeping the `flaming bowling ball' logo on the helmet. 

[Maxx]

Umm its a flaming thumbtack

[TCO]

Their colour scheme is like a shitty version of the Oilers anyway. They should have either kept that originally or went completely different.

Excited to see the Jags ones now, especially that they're getting rid of the two tone helmets. More teal!

[Lineker]

Panthers LB Thomas Davis suspended for four games for PEDs.

[GhostMachine]

I wonder. Are the Jags going back to black, or going with either gold or teal helmets? 

And nope. Flaming bowling ball. People have been calling the logo that around here for a few years now. Word was they were considering putting the sword logo on the helmet and moving the bowling ball to the sleeves. Too bad that didn't happen.

...it's 1000% a flaming thumbtack.

The New Orleans Saints are signing Chicago Bears restricted free-agent wide receiver Cameron Meredith to a two-year, $10 million offer sheet, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Meredith, 25, led the Bears with 66 receptions, 888 yards and four touchdowns in 2016. He missed the 2017 season after tearing his left ACL and suffering other knee ligament damage during a preseason game. Joining the Saints would reunite Meredith with wide receivers coach Curtis Johnson, who previously served in the same role for the Bears.

The Browns have traded Kevin Hogan to Washington in a deal that also saw the teams swap sixth-round picks. Cleveland move up 17 spots in the round, to 188. The deal completes a quarterback overhaul by new general manager John Dorsey. Cleveland sent starter DeShone Kizer to the Green Bay Packers and backup Cody Kessler to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The New England Patriots have signed former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jordan Matthews, the team announced Friday. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Matthews signed a one-year deal.

They're out rivals and we call them the "tacks" because it looks like a thumbtack.

 

Jags are most likely going back to just teal/white/black. Looks like they're losing all/most of the gold. Helmets are going to be black.

Tacks vs. Jagoffs, huh?

[Your Mom]

Do we get something if the Saints sign Cam? I am never sure how that works

[jrhodes]

Not in this situation.

I suspect the Bears will match the offer though.

[VerbalPuke]

There’s a formula they use for compensation picks if thats what Srar meant. It would depend on who you have lost compared to who you have signed. I forgot how they do it but it’s a combo of size of contract, if you brought in less than you lost, etc. 

[The Buscher]

I'm hearing an unnerving amount of talk that the Giants supposedly love Josh Allen.

If they take him, I will need to get a new TV remote the next day.

[Meacon Keaton]

I hope you guys take him before Elway does.

But then watch Elway draft Mayfield.

Between him and Lynch, that's a bonafide shitty facial hair overload in Denver!

I blame Kyle Neckbeard Orton for this trend of Denver quarterbacks needing atrocious facial hair.

Less is more usually with color combos. My pet peeves are teams like 5 different colors or teams with two different shades of the same color (hello Titans).

Aldon Smith arrested for third time in two months, held on $500K bond

Eric Reid finally has a visit scheduled - with the Bengals.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Trevor Davis was arrested Sunday and charged with making "criminal threats" after joking about a bomb at the Los Angeles International Airport, according to LAX police.

Buffalo Bills left guard Richie Incognito says he is retiring after 12 seasons in the NFL because of medical issues.

[The Buscher]

Should've been thrown out of the league a long time ago.
