^^^^^ Only because Kaep is going to the Super Bowl.

[cherriesfna]

It's because matt Ryan is hurt actually

[CFCNick]

Either way. He's not there on merit. Just by default.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Half of the teams are. It's the most pointless event in the NFL. Players picked are suddenly "injured" or simply don't want to go.

It's crap

[Skyforger]

But it didn't used to be so much, when it was played after the Super Bowl.

Really think they need to either move it back or scrap it.

[Number-25]

Probably time to scrap it and just have an All-Pro team announced and leave it at that. What's the point in sending a guy who was like the 18th alternate QB??? It devalues it further than it already is. Pointless.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Jets going to "explore" trade options for Darrelle Revis.

Whilst they would be losing a great player (arguably the best in football when fit), they would gain a heck of a lot in draft space and picks/players.

Pretty much every team in the league would/should make a run at him

[GSC]

The report being garbage.

I can see it now;

"JaMarcus Russell has been signed by the New York Jets..."

[Derbyblue]

Gore fined $10,500 for a "Socks Violation" and Brady fined $10,000 for kicking Ed Reed.

Apparently Reed isn't going to be retiring after the Super Bowl.

[crazy_dave23]

Russel would be an upgrade over Tebow...stoke the fire

[crazy_dave23]

So why does Kaepernick want to trademark "Kaepernicking"... how exactly do you control the kissing of one's bicep in celebration

[GSC]

Dunno but Scott Steiner is gonna be peed

[Derbyblue]

It is ridiculous, how far can the trademark go? Surely he can only control the use of that word? The thing I read on it said he had allowed "official" T-shirts to be made with it on with a percentage of profits going to some camp for kids with heart problems.

[GSC]

I feel as though Manti Teo will be a Brown.

I mean its the Browns and Michael Lombardi, so they'll draft a bust, might as well be interesting.

[GSC]

The Saints have fired Steve Spagnuolo

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Steve "I'll blitz with the worst secondary in the league" Spagnuolo

[GSC]

Probably because his scheme requires the front 4 to get pressure, which the Saints couldn't. Personnel was woeful, couldn't cover or rush the passer.

[GSC]

Rams have hired Rob Ryan as their DC

[Derbyblue]

Steve "I'll blitz with the worst secondary in the league" Spagnuolo

They knew what they were getting when they hired him.

Miami, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Tampa Bay has plenty of cap space though the Dolphins have extra picks too.

The 49ers have the most picks plus could send Alex Smith in the opposite direction.

[mikeygnfl]

Or he'll be drafted by a fake team on Twitter.

Miami would make most sense in that they have cap space and draft picks but he'll probably stay in New York.

Miami was my first thought too, and then maybe the Pats if Talib asks for too much. He would look good in red and gold though. Mikey, can u confirm culliver and ngata for your second, hightower and lloyd mate. I've backed down and taken your earlier offer I deemed unfair so I guess you win that one. Giving up culliver will come back to bite me

[mikeygnfl]

I did see a report suggesting Revis wanted to stay in New York/ the North-Eastern corner so the Patriots would be interesting.

I will sort FAF trades out soon.

[GSC]

Bottom line is Revis isn't going to be traded.

[GSC]

Fun fact, Rex Grossman dad and grandfather were both also named Rex Grossman, making him RG3 also.

[Colan (niner)]

I think he asks way too much for most contending teams, will need a smaller ego if he wants to win.

Great mikey, I won't be on until tomorrow night it looks like but the trade is confirmed on my end so just put it in the confirmed section when u are ready.

Imagine if Philly released Nnamdi and got Revis, that would be fun

[GSC]

Revis? On a team filled with egos hes the relatively quiet one.

Anyway he'd cost a 1st plus change, would demand franchise QB money, and is coming off a knee injury. Also costs the Jets 9m vs the cap to trade him.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Also there is more chance of Bill Belichick doing a pole dance than there is the Jets trading to New England if they were going to

2013 pro-bowl prgramme

[GSC]

Cherries nobody cares about the pro bowl

[Pr4wn]

Spags hardly ever blitzed, that was his problem. His system requires a lot of pressure from the front four which consisted of Will Smith and Sedrick Ellis. Ouch.

[Pr4wn]

Saints will move to a 3-4 for next season.

[Skyforger]

I feel as though Manti Teo will be a Brown.

I mean its the Browns and Michael Lombardi, so they'll draft a bust, might as well be interesting.

A truly riveting read, you must have been gripped Cherries

[Pr4wn]

The Bengals have signed Aaron Maybin. Also, Jeff Saturday has announced he'll retire after the ProBowl.

[Derbyblue]

Browns going to be moving to the 3-4 defense.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

How do you feel about that Derby?

[Derbyblue]

Like it's a terrible stupid decision that will be putting the defense back a few years instead of only being roughly 1 or 2 pieces away.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Sounds like a good idea!

[GSC]

Welllllllllll, there are the pieces on the DL to run it, Taylor at NT, Rubin at DE, and there are guys projected to go top 5 that are more effective as a 3-4 OLB than 4-3 DE I guess.

[Derbyblue]

Well don't think Rubin has played at DE before, have a feeling he may go back to being the NT and Taylor to DE, still though need another DE and OLB and MLB plus then FS and CB. Either way I don't like the move but hope he can prove me wrong.

[Colan (niner)]

3-4 seems to be the way to success in the league at the moment so you should be hopeful

[Derbyblue]

Where as that 4-3 of ours was working terribly........

[GSC]

4-3 DT is fairly similar to 3-4 DE tbf, Taylor wa projected as a 3-4NT coming out

[Derbyblue]

So was Rubin. Either way one has to play out of position or sit on the bench.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Jahvid Best will be forced into retirement because of his concussions history. Very unfortunate
