I hear in a late addition Richard Sherman won the best use of a technicality to avoid a suspension

Melton deserves an award!

by crazy_dave23 Sun 3 Feb 2013 - 12:40

For those interested in the award show, if you have gamepass and rewind the NFL network feed to 5am its on in full.
Some nice jokes in there... like Alec Baldwin talking about how hard is to be the best brother and then throwing in "Am I right Eli?"

by cherriesfna Sun 3 Feb 2013 - 12:43

At least Wilson won Pepsi max rookie of the year which is IMO a better award

Lol sour cherries

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Even though Victor Cruz is now an RFA and Hakeem Nicks has one year left on deal, Giants have placed a higher priority on re-signing Nicks

Interesting ...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 3 Feb 2013 - 16:28

Especially considering Nicks's injury issues this season

by GSC Sun 3 Feb 2013 - 16:53

Nicks has a lot higher upside than Cruz, who is a restricted FA next year iirc, meaning he can be retained for cheap, or they get a 1st and 3rd for him.

by BamBam Sun 3 Feb 2013 - 16:54

Yeah, for all Nicks injury problems, he is still a very good number 1 receiver who can win against double teams.

(remember that for the fantasy game guys Wink

)

If I were a betting man, I suspect NE at Baltimore will open the 2013 season

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 4 Feb 2013 - 10:56

I'd rather get it out the way early. The annual loss to the Ravens Sad

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 4 Feb 2013 - 10:59

Although I think it'll be Pittsburgh at Baltimore

by GSC Mon 4 Feb 2013 - 11:22

Doubt it, NFL loves to keep them for primetime, NBC will want it and the Steelers were kinda meh last year.

NE at Baltimore has a certain symmetry after the AFCCG, that game has to be the favorite I think.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 4 Feb 2013 - 12:36

Yeah I see your point!

Be interesting to see how Baltimore deals with the loss of Lewis and a possible loss of Ed Reed too

by GSC Mon 4 Feb 2013 - 13:20

4 years in a row the first team to visit Philly has won the SB

by GSC Mon 4 Feb 2013 - 20:30

The awkward moment when Russell Wilson wins SB MVP and can't get on the rides at Disneyland

by GSC Mon 4 Feb 2013 - 20:56

Titus Young to be released today. Interesting to see whether he clears waivers. Could see NE

by crazy_dave23 Mon 4 Feb 2013 - 21:08

Anyone seen Leon Sandcastle... I hear he could be the next big thing.

Rumours out of Oakland are they to ask Palmer to take a cut in his salary for the next season. It's believed if he doesn't agree they may cut ties altogether with a view to drafting Geno Smith in the first round

Given the strength in defense in this draft and Oaklands blatant need across the parkl in this position I sincerely hope this is just rubbish that somebody has made up to keep the Palmer haters who follow Oakland happy

Seriously... he's way more elite than Megatron... just look at the numbers
Against Seattle in week 8 (with the leagues best corners no less) Young stacked up a massive 100 yards off 9 receptions with 1 TD. Megatron had a meager 3 catches for 46 yards and no scores.

Speaking of Titus Young, hes now a St Louis Ram

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 5 Feb 2013 - 21:57

if anyone can get him in line Jeff Fisher will

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 5 Feb 2013 - 22:01

Giants cut LB Michael Boley.

Slightly surprising move

by GSC Tue 5 Feb 2013 - 22:21

Wasn't productive and owed 4m from a team up against the cap.

by mikeygnfl Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 2:07

Tebow has been spotted in Arizona. Tebow to Fitzgerald anyone?

Nooo!

If we waste our first round pick - a high one at that on a QB then I will be angry. We need help in so many other places. If we cut Palmer then trade down, get a later 1st and a 2nd and take Barkley in round 2 after a pass rusher in the first. Christ.

Alternatively, tailor our offense to McFadden and Pryor. We're still rebuilding, nothing to lose from a season of Terrelle.

by mikeygnfl Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 14:40

I've suggested the Raiders trade down and get extra picks, possible trade pattern could be the Jets. They may have to take Barkley in the first round though. I expect him to be one of the QBs reached for in the first round.

I would expect Geno Smith to be going to the Chiefs or Jaguars at the moment.

by sodhat Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 14:58

I hope so Mikey, if he's on the board at 3 and we take him I think it's a bad move right now. I actually also don't think Barkley would suit us (even though I suggested him earlier) and our receivers, we need a strong arm guy so I'd just take a big arm in the later rounds after we deal with the pressing needs.

We definitely should trade back. I hope we do, because we can still get a pass rusher in this fairly deep class, and we are still short on picks elsewhere.

by GSC Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 15:01

Wonder if the Eagles and Jags might swap if the Eagles want Star.

by sodhat Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 15:04

All the mocks I've seen so far show him going at 3 to the Raiders (except one, which inexplicably has us taking Smith), so I'd say you need to get to at least 2nd GSC.

Jags might want to use the pick to get Werner though, assuming that the Chiefs take Joeckel.

by GSC Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 15:06

Aye, the thinking would be that the Jags could pick up a 4th or something to drop 2 spots and still get their guy though.

by sodhat Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 15:07

Possibly, but again if Werner is there at 3 and Star is gone there is a big chance he is taken by the Raiders instead.

Suppose Jags could go for Smith and it be less of a reach from there, but it's still a reach.

by GSC Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 15:09

true. Long way to go yet, just throwing out some ideas.

by sodhat Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 15:11

Well I still hope we trade backwards, eliminating problems for the Eagles Laugh

by GSC Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 20:33

Giants cut Ahmad Bradshaw

Eagles cut Demetress Bell

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 20:34

Giants cutting Bradshaw? Really putting there faith in Wilson then

by BamBam Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 20:34

Bradshaw?? Wow

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 20:39

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer
Giants also release Chris Canty. He was due $6.25M in salary and a $250K workout bonus in 2013.

I understand that

by GSC Wed 6 Feb 2013 - 20:40

Giants were way over
