2017 NFL Draft & Season Chat Thread

Browns had 100M cap space. 20++ rookies. They basically bought a second round pick. Can drop him and still have plenty of cap space.

That's on the higher end of what he was looking for IIRC. He's probably worth that amount, but it will make it hard for them to fill the other holes in the roster.

He turned down more with more guaranteed with Vikings. Basically betting on himself to stay healthy and cash in next year

I'm surprised by that because I think the Vikes have a better chance of having immediate success next season.

I have seen talk that Wentz makes the Eagles an attractive team for FA receivers. He may have just been banking on Wentz being better than Sam next season.
 
Eagles sign G Warmack from Titans to 1 year deal. Hopefully, the dude plays better for Philly than he did for Tenn.

I see Jeffrey as a physical receiver, not really a tactician. I dunno enough about Wentz to say if he's willing to throw into coverage. But Sam Bradford is ABSOLUTELY not right for Jeffrey at all. He'll never throw to WR who's being shadowed or doubled.

It's a genius move imo.

Eagles got Jeffrey for 1 year 14M

A genius move to set him up to get injured by game 6.
Just like every other browns QB.

It don't matter who you put on that team and behind that line, they are destined to get destroyed.

The browns signed 3 top OL today lol. They have one of the best left tackles in the league and now have one of the better interior.

Brock isn't going to be their starting QB. They took the cap hit for the second round pick. They had $100M in cap space. Seriously a genius move lol.

Well see how great of a season the browns do have with the signing. Sure they got $$$ to spend. But they have a lot of gaps to fill before they can be considered a good team.

I highly doubt RG3 will be the starter, that guy takes one more hit like Romo and he may as well retire.

They should be picking Defense with both of their first round picks to really try and make themselves contenders in the AFC north alone and win more then 1 game.

They have 23 picks in the next two years and like 20 rookies this year. They stripped their team last year to rebuild. They now have a solid OL, signed Britt, and are in position to have a hell of a draft. This is a deep draft defensively and RB and TE. All areas of need. It's a weak OL class. So they wisely spent money in FA.

Regardless of their lack of overall talent, taking on Brock's contract for a 2nd round pick is one of the best trades I can recall. There wasn't a chance they were gonna spend all $100M. They can cut him next season or trade him this season (which is a strong possibility ATM) and come away with basically a free second round pick. Genius.
 
- Scot McCloughan fired as Redskins' general manager
- Raiders LB Aldon Smith detained after car incident with police

Tony Romo:
Tony Romo is now expected to be traded rather than released by the Dallas Cowboys, with both the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans being potential trade partners, according to league sources.
 
I'm kind of surprised nobody has made a move for Teddy Bridgewater yet.... I think he has 2 years left on a low salary contract. It would seem Bradford is their guy going forward.... Seems weird to let him ride the bench when he could start somewhere else.

He may never play again. He tore his acl and separated his knee at the same time. Zimmer made some comments that Teddy has value to the team but not in terms of football (paraphrasing).
 
"As of Thursday evening, the Browns have two firsts (Nos. 1 and 12), two seconds, a third, two fourths, three fifths and a sixth in the 2017 draft. They have their own first-rounder in 2018 and three seconds, a third, two fourths, a fifth, two sixth and a seventh.

So they’ve got ample picks to trade, but the Pats are apparently insisting on Cleveland giving up the first overall pick in any deal for Garoppolo.

If they trade #1 overall away, Cleveland will be making the worst decision ever

This is cleveland. Would that surprise you if they make a "Bad" Decision. They tend to do it every year :)
I really see them picking up Garrett or a DL from Alabama for first round.

I can see them doing it because they suck. At this point it Is Garrett all the way unless its traded. I could see sending their second 1st rounder, but not #1 overall

With how heavy they are going in FA, it makes sense to draft defense. Let alone Garrett could be the best all around player in the draft.

I am actually quite curious where Watson is going to drop in this draft.. Kaizer is also a great QB and the QB From NC. I doubt all 3 will go first round, but we won't know until then.

I think Trubisky goes early, Watson or Kizer to the Cardinals and Watson or Kizer to the Giants as Eli's replacement
 
Giants won't draft Kizer. His footwork is horrible. Would not be surprised if Kizer falls behind some other QBs.

I'd gladly take Watson in NY thorough. Joshua Dobbs, too.
 
An early-morning Instagram post on the verified account of Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo saying farewell to New England sent social media buzzing, but a source close to Garoppolo told ESPN's Mike Reiss that he believed it was a "hack" or "hoax" while adding "not to my knowledge" when asked about a potential trade.

This is gonna be fun! Cousins not afraid to utilize Prior's agressive skill set (well, at least what we saw the first half of last yr). Also, cant wait to see what Docston can do opposite Prior.
 
I'm surprised the Browns were willing to let him walk.

I'm also surprised Philly didn't take a real shot at him. He played phenomenally last year.

I don't know why the redskins didn't try to lock him down for longer. Jeffrey hurt yalls cap a lot

Jeffrey did, but Pryor is not that much more expensive than Smith and he is likely a better No. 2 than Smith would be. Smith agreed to a longer deal, but that won't matter if he can't produce.

I think Pryors new contract is "only" $6 mil guaranteed.
 
Kony Ealy and a 3rd round pick Traded from the Panthers to the Patriots for a second rounder. How do the pats do this year after year

TRADE! The Patriots have traded their #32 & 3rd #103 pick to the Saints for wide receiver Brandin Cooks & their 4th #118 pick per sources
 
Woody said:
He was originally but Pats were able to negotiate a better deal.

Pats got Dwayne Allen, Kony Ealy, Brandin Cooks, and Stephon Gilmore. Incredible.

God, I hate them, but I have to admit that they do the business supremely well.
