NFL Offseason Rumours and Updates

[Jono1987]

Schefter has reported that Bush has agreed to a 2 year deal with Miami but nothing official yet. Brees is still contracted, no way the front office is worried about sorting an extension out right now... Nicks however is probably going to get a really good deal.

Can we afford both Evans and Nicks? Especially since it looks like Nicks is going to end up being the better G? Real sticky situation...

well you look at how our offense is set up and we have to be able to afford Nicks. Him and Evans hold the los and allow Brees to step into the pocket. Not to mention the guy is a beast in run blocking. We also have him as an RFA this year, teams will have to be willing to give up a 1st/3rd to get him and some huge money.

Yep agree. I actually think Evans is going to have a great year after giving away a crap tonne of penalties last year. That and we do have average tackles and an average centre. I hope Tennant is truly ready because I think Goodwin takes a contract somewhere else. On another note it was great to see Lance Moore rewarded! Time to hand over more money for Colston me thinks.

Philadelphia loses out on Doug Free Reggie Bush and maybe Haynesworth but they get Jason Babin back and another rusher off the edge

Babin's deal with the Eagles is for 5 years, $28 million, and includes roughly $5-6 million in guarantees

was rumoured that Colston was going to hold out, but he is apparently there and ready for TC. Didn't really believe that considering who it was and he knows the Saints will look after him as well. TC going to be interesting. got a WR who runs a 4.25 40 and is really good on returns.

We're told that the Redskins are closing in on a deal for Cullen Jenkins. Not done yet, though.

Bush agrees to the trade. Hoping that the Saints will now look to square away Nicks/Bushrod and go after someone like Landry as he would be an upgrade on Harper

Hard to argue with grabbing Landry but the biggest upgrade we could potentially nab would be Mebane over Adoyele surely? I mean Bushrod is a tough one because Brown has all the wraps but is a year away...Geez it really is an exciting time to be a football fan!

Not far from hometown Detroit RT @ClaytonESPN: Watch for the Vikings to pursue Braylon Edwards after losing Sidney Rice


I called it earlier today. Looks like it may happen.

we have Rodgers who is a true NT and can plug up running games, Ellis had 6 sacks last year, hate to see what he can do with the line we have now. Mebane is a great fit for us just dont see where/when we would play him. Landry for me is a bigger get, SS who can actually cover as well which Harper struggles with.

Vikings in talks with James Jones, Braylen Edwards and Malcolm Floyd.

Good receivers there.

LolZona, say hello to Kevin corn on the kolb. What a deal for philli.

 

[Mhartew]

It's a lot to give up for an unproven player. I hope it pays off.

 

[Big Mick]

Brad Smith signs for the Bills. --> Don't know why. Stupid deal imo. We are right for receivers. He doesn't add anything we don't have. Spiller is a returner...what a f**ked deal.

Stephen Bowen --> Redskins
Clint Sessions --> Jaguars
Chris Chester --> Redskins
Jermon Bushrod --> Saints
Usama Young --> Browns
Vince Young --> FA

 

[Raider_69]

The Kolb deal is a cracker for Philli

Still pissed about fat Albert, but getting babin back under washburn is a nice consolation.

 

[Big Mick]

Chad Ochocinco traded to the Patriots!

WOOOOTAGE!

My pick is looking awesome now.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

lol albert next to vince, enjoy running through that boys, but we still need a CB, SS/FS and a deep threat Reciever
