Jake Long to the Rams.

Good signing, now Bradford might get some much needed protection. I feel for Bradford. If he were in a team with recievers and good o-line, I think he'd be as good as someone like Matt Ryan.

Jake Long to the Rams.

f**k yeah.

With long and saffold looking out for him sam will now pick and choose instead of being forced to throw the ball.

Now go get warmack/cooper and austin in the draft and I will have a boner till september.

Miami fans aren't sad to see him go, say he's still a good run blocker but his pass blocking leaves a lot to be desired

Saffold has been pretty good. If the nagging injuries plague long moving forward and he can't block as well as he can they can just shift him to RT. Of course the rams have given him a clean bill of health so they are expecting him to be the dominant LT he was before the injury bug hit him.

They'll be crying when they realise that Jonathan Martin isn't a Left Tackles asshole in pass protection.

Rated 2nd last among ALL tackles last year in Pass Protection.

Miami seemed to play better though when he was in the lineup

Your NFC W hatred is getting the best of you Ab

Long might not be the gold standard at LT anyone (was he ever really?)
but he's still top 10 at his position and the Rams are stronger for his addition and the Dolphins weaker for his departure.

 

[abpanther]

I never said he was a bad addition, just saying there's a reason why Miami didn't wanna pay him that much

Adam Schefter reporting the Steelers put in a late bid for Long, I find it really, really hard to believe but the man is rarely wrong. Never expected that.

Apparently it was a 5 year $45m offer.

I think long liked the direction the rams are heading. That and the fact fisher looks after vets to make sure they can last the whole season.

So does this mean Chris Long will be scrimmaging with Jake Long?

no, chris long lines up against the RT.

robert quinn goes up againt the LT. this should be very helpful in his development as a player. last season long didn''t raise a sweat keeping quinn away for tannehill.

maybe if the rams draft kyle long then it will be long vs long.

Steelers maybe have about $3m in cap space right now, hence my disbelief when Long/Dumervil get mentioned.

 

[Eddie Lab]

Panthers have another HUGE signing of CB DJ Moore. guess the panthers aren't drafting a CB early in the draft.

 

[abpanther]

49ers sign K Phil Dawson

At least he's better than Akers

 

[zombie jesus]

Ed Reed to the Texans for 2 years.

 

[zombie jesus]

Dumervil to the Ravens.

 

[dogslife]

And here I thought the Flacco deal tapped them out

 

[abpanther]

I believe they've structured it so that it only costs them $2.5m this season
