He's already been demoted on the depth chart, terrible acquisition.

Yeah I was just checking out how he was going. Poorly it seems. He had some great years at the Ravens though.

He killed the Steelers a few times, probably why they brought him in.

He's still killing us

Wowsers, Bill don't play games.

Wowsers, Bill don't play games.

He wanted Von Miller money, so bill sent him to a team stupid enough to pay it, i understand him wanting a really good contract, he deserves it, it's no excuse though for doing your own thing on the field like he has.

That's horseshit though RKO, classic Pats character assassination, if he was going rogue as much as it's claimed, BB wouldnt have him out on the paddock, period.

They didnt want to pay him, so they traded him. Good, we'll see how that move works out. Trading an elite LB in a SB year for a 3rd round pick, when you could just keep him, let him walk in FA and get your 3rd rounder when he gets paid, there is no need to talk shit about the guy on his way out the door

Watch the bills game start to end, every defence snap JC 91 was on the field and you can see he has lost interest, there is a reason why his snaps have gone down, watch his effort in the Cards, Jets, Texans games... Then watch him after he was told no, he wants elite money, was told no and has most likely thrown his best chance of another ring away.

But he will probably get paid, and has already earnt a ring. So really it's a win win situation for him. And yeah it's the Browns, but with all draft picks they have, if they can assemble that core group of players on both sides of the ball, it will only be one draft (and a QB) to become competitive/contender. And it will be a cheap franchise to run due to all the drafted players at the club, so guys like that will be able to be brought in to improve certain areas/teach guys how to prepare.

Cardinals released WR Michael Floyd yesterday...

Pats just picked him up... that's a strong move...

Texans have traded Osweiler to the Browns. 2nd round draft pick also with the deal

Honestly, its a good deal for both teams. Only real loser is Osweiler himself

Texans get him off the books and free up cap to go after a free agent QB. Browns use their massive cap space to absorb the contract and get a 2nd round pick

McDaniels accepts then withdraws from the Colts HC role.

Insane. I wonder if that means there is some substance to the rumour that Belichick is on his way out?

Has to be. He's pretty much nuked any chance he has to get hired elsewhere.

 

[nick87]

This has to be one of two things:

a) He's been assured the pats job within the next 12 months (and i think its probably likely if thats the case, BB will be back for ONE more run)

b) Andrew Luck's injury is far worse than we know and concerns about his future are VERY real.

Either way, he agreed weeks ago, assistants have been hired on his agreement, as early as this morning he was ringing other contacts and offering them jobs. This is insanely unprofessional on McDaniels part and frankly if i were an owner, i dont think i'd even consider bringing him in for an interview in the future.

Josh McDaniels is a complete f**kwit shocker , Screwed the Colts, their fans & assistants who passed up other jobs to be part of his staff & are now out of work.

After the Broncos debacle & now this you have to think it's very doubtful he gets a HC job outside New England in the future.

Kind of worse, the Assistants contracted are staying, probably because the Colts feel obligated to keep them for the very reason you highlighted, they'd be out of a job if not (and them out a decent chunk of money)

but now the new HC is going to have to inherit half his staff.
This is straight up trash behaviour from McDaniels. I hope every owner strikes his name in the future.

 

[DC_fan]

McDaniels has forever tarnished him image. Why will anyone ever again believe him. Oh well, its his problem and he is going to have to live with it. Only could happen to the Patriots. Just gives the NFL world another reason to hate that team.

 

[Shorty]

How distasteful.
McDaniels is definitely a douche but this is why I hate the Patriots, they are always playing dirty like this.
Were they waiting on the superbowl? Tom Brady is 40 and we know BB is unlikely to stick around after Brady is gone, so this would be in the works somewhere.
But apparently the most appropriate time is days before Colts announce, when other types of coaches have been organised.

Hope the Colts whoop the Pats next year.
