2018 NFL Off-Season Thread

[The Lusophone]

He needs a distraction from criticism over the Helsinki summit.

First time treasonists removed from office, second time treasonists hanged/no pay!

The thing that just won't die.

I wish he would just die.

Vikings OL coach Tony Sparano, longtime league assistant and former head coach of the Dolphins and Raiders, has died at 56.

[Lineker]

That's a shame. Totally unexpected apparently, too.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. has been suspended for the first game of the season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, the NFL announced Friday. Fowler will miss the Jags' Week 1 game against the New York Giants, but he is eligible to participate in all preseason games and practices.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have traded quarterback Johnny Manziel to the Montreal Alouettes, reuniting him with the coach who recruited him to Texas A&M.

Keep in the CFL thread Lineker.  

But since you brought it up, I'm not thrilled my Ti-Cats are moving Manziel, but if they got a good haul for a player they weren't using.

[Taxation is Theft]

Josh Gordon out of Browns camp.

[VerbalPuke]

Sounds like he’s just taking care of himself which is good. 

[Taxation is Theft]

Oh absolutely. Rather this than self medicating his anxiety.

[livid]

Rams sign Todd Gurley to a 4 year $60M/$45M guaranteed contract extension.

 

So not only another Rams extension for someone not named Aaron Donald but really highlights how shitty the Steelers offer to Le'Veon Bell was. 

[Meacon Keaton]

At this point it's almost like they're doing it just to spite Aaron Donald. 

"Hey Jeff Fisher, would you like us to give you another contract while we're at it?"

[The Buscher]

Damn, Gurley got paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaid.  Good for him.

Meanwhile I'm still wondering if the Giants and Beckham will hammer out a new contract before the end of preseason.  He's done all the right things this offseason and is keeping his promise of reporting to camp on day one.

That Gurley contract just means Bell is gonna be able to command $15-20 mil a year in guaranteed money when he hits the market next year. Someone will give it to him.

It'll be someone like the Dolphins or Redskins, where he won't possibly be enough to help them win too. 

[VerbalPuke]

Hmm...Lions could be an interesting choice if they get the O-Line solved this year. 

[The Buscher]

I was wondering if the Giants could avoid having a comical amount of injuries again this year, especially with the misery the Mets are handing me with their own stupid injuries..  And on day one of training camp the answer seems that it will be an emphatic no.

Sam Beal, whom the Giants forfeited their 2019 third round pick for after taking him in the supplemental draft two weeks ago, injured his shoulder a ten minutes into training camp and he's out for the season.

[Lineker]

Atlanta general manager Thomas Dimitroff announced late Wednesday night that wide receiver Julio Jones will report for the start of training camp on Thursday. The Falcons have agreed to a revised contract that adjusts Jones' salary for the 2018 season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via a source informed of the situation.

 

The Cardinals have picked up Tre Boston.

Already looking like a Giant bust.
