NFL Offseason Rumours and Updates

[Big Mick]

Saw that on ESPN.

Like with everything...you can report anything as long as it has a question mark on the end.

Tom Brady is gay?
Dallas Cowboys to win something?
Brett Farve to the Colts?

Most of them turn out to be crap.

I like that one. Harrison was awesome for us last year as a change of pace guy for McCoy. Brown should have been run out of town with pitch forks after litterly chucking thr 49ers game away

 

[Raider_69]

the Brown for Harrison trade has fallen through on medical grounds for Harrison
disappointing, was looking forward to getting him back and ridding ourselves of Brown

WOAH!

 

[Raider_69]

I know right
Lucky he got traded, from what ive read he's unlikely to play again this year but long term playing wise and health wise, he should be ok.

I was really disappointed to see this one fall through too as i really like Harrison as a change of pace guy in our system

Albert Haynesworth has been waived by the Pats.

[Raider_69]

no shock there.

 

[Big Mick]

Bruce Arians signed as OC for the Colts

Aldon Smith gets done for DUI and is arrested.

 

[zombie jesus]

Colts going on a bit of a Steeler binge, likely to snap up LB coach Keith Butler as their new DC, sick of waiting for LeBeau to retire I suppose.

 

[zombie jesus]

Scratch that, Butler staying put after a meeting with Tomlin and Rooney.

Spags landing in NO, has imo, ultimately led to Castillo staying in philly

big call on that one, although im not as upset about it now that the anger of the season has subsided, the eagles D did end up finishing 8th over all in the league which is impressive given the start. Castillo allows us to keep washburn and the wide 9 in pass rush situations, and keeps Howard Mudd on staff to continue to retool the oline and make McCoy look so good

it's a big call because unless we are deep in the play offs next year, if the failure of 2013 is the defense again, both Castillo and Andy are out on their arses.

Im confident they can right the ship, as long as they invest heavily at S and LB in FA and the draft.
Id love to see the eagles nab Curtis Lofton in FA. He'd improve us big time.

 

[zombie jesus]

Todd Haley will be the Steelers new OC.

 

[Mhartew]

Todd Haley will be the Steelers new OC.

Good pick up by the Steelers. He was great for the Cardinals as OC

 

[Raider_69]

Apparently the Cards talked to him about a come back, but decided against it

i would love to know why they did that. Seems odd to me.
