Quite annoyed, won't get much for him and he was our only good receiver mad

Don't know how much of a bad influence he was though, some of his on-field outbursts seemed pretty ugly tbf

What's everyone's opinion on the Titans rehiring Greg Williams?

The whole "Bountygate" stuff doesn't bother me. I'm sure the Saints weren't the only team using bounties.

I'm pretty meh on the appointment. Fisher could do a good job with the D anyways

by GSC Sun 10 Feb 2013, 9:49 pm

Eh, hes pretty meh.

Think he could help get Tennessee back to winning ways?

by **Pr4wn** Sun 10 Feb 2013, 11:26 pm

In my opinion, he was never a very good DC in the first place.

Gonna need a lot more from Locker and co to get Tennessee back to winning ways

by GSC Sun 10 Feb 2013, 11:45 pm

Something tells me that the fact that Rob Gronkowski has his own 'Patriot Way' says a lot about how Belichick views the overall talent of his team.

But we've seen with Tebow. A good kicker and good D is all a mediocre QB needs. They almost have the pieces in place, just need a few more players on each side of the ball. Give Locker time he'll show some worth.

by GSC Mon 11 Feb 2013, 10:25 am

Their D is garbage and I wouldn't use Tebow as an example ever. Broncos beat up on a garbage schedule to go 8-8 then the STeelers tried to cover Demaryius Thomas with Ike Taylor

If anybody wants a chuckle, Tyson Jackson is owed 17m this season

by GSC Mon 11 Feb 2013, 4:23 pm

Should Flacco get the non exclusive tag from Baltimore, the Browns with 40m cap space could essentially offer a poison pill contract, with a 40m roster bonus this year, that baltimore can't afford.

Osi on his way out but will have to wait until 12th March to look for a new team. Rumours are Reese is looking at DEs that may be available at 19th overall, Ezekiel Ansah, Datone Jones, Alex Okafor, Dion Jordan and Sam Montgomery.

This is gold

Giants need a new DE anyhow I imagine. Tuck really didn't play very well last year, and didn't seem all that interested if I'm honest.

Well things are looking like there'll be a lot of new faces come training camp. A lot of young guys I imagine too. Need new players in most positions.

Vick will return to the Eagles on a restructured 1 year deal

Buffalo Bills #headsgone

by CFCNick Mon 11 Feb 2013, 9:53 pm

The Giants have resigned Terrell Thomas. I don't know if I like this move in light of all the shredding we've been doing the last few days. Although I will be over the moon if he can play anywhere close to how he was before the injuries. Wishful thinking I know but he could win Comeback Player of the Year.

by Colan (niner) Wed 13 Feb 2013, 10:56 pm

Eagles have hired Tom Gamble from the 49ers. Highly sought after guy so nice for Kelly and his new staff. Sideways move for Gamble but the Eagles are in rebuild mode so he will have more opportunities for promotion there. Didn't understand it to begin with, but I suppose going to amediocre team with chance of promotion and more money, better career is worth more than staying with a contender with little upwards potential

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 13 Feb 2013, 11:01 pm

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer
Looking thru team cap totals ... As it stands, Jets have a whopping $110 million tied up in 10 guys. Revis' $9M is Jets' 9th highest cap #.

YIKES!

Hes from Philly. Greater power share with Roseman than the SF FO. Takes Grigsons old job so can't hurt in terms of boosting his GM credentials.

I'd be surprised if makes it past TC cuts. Isn't it 3 ACLs in a row now?

Very sad to see a young players career cut short through injury. At least he will lead a relatively normal life

by Bull Thu 14 Feb 2013, 12:58 am

sad to see Knox go but happy to see him live a normal life, Once a Bear always a Bear =)

good to see the Bears kept him to help him out in rehab though during the season.

by **Pr4wn** Fri 15 Feb 2013, 7:46 am

The eagles have signed Dennis Dixon!

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 7:56 am

YES!

He's been to as many SBs as he has career starts!

Every time I see that hit it hurts my back. Poor guy being forced out like that.

by sodhat Fri 15 Feb 2013, 2:46 pm

Apparently Dixon to Eagles has started a rumour of Foles to the Chiefs

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 2:47 pm

Non starter unless Reid wants to start packaging some serious picks.

The link was always going to pop up once KC needed a QB and Kelly signed 2 mobile QBs

by sodhat Fri 15 Feb 2013, 2:50 pm

Does Foles fit with a Kelly offense?

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 2:54 pm

Kelly said he'll adapt it to his personnel. Doubt he'd run the option with vick anyhow since he'll be injured in 6 games

Reports that Titus Young has been cut by the Rams

LOL

by BamBam Fri 15 Feb 2013, 4:29 pm

And Charles Woodson may have been cut by the Packers ...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 15 Feb 2013, 4:35 pm

BamBam wrote:And Charles Woodson may have been cut by the Packers ...

If so, I really hope the Pats make a run at him. Not as good as he once was, but still can make big plays

by BamBam Fri 15 Feb 2013, 4:46 pm

Would take him on the 49ers in a heartbeat

by Colan (niner) Fri 15 Feb 2013, 5:31 pm

I want Woodson and Seymour to the 49ers, they might not ask for huge money if they want another run at a SB

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 15 Feb 2013, 5:33 pm

Tbh i wouldnt rule out Woodson back to green bay on a reduced deal

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 6:15 pm

Jared Cook to get the tag in Tennessee

by **Pr4wn** Fri 15 Feb 2013, 8:13 pm

Clady is getting the tag in Denver.

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 8:16 pm

Jeff Fisher confirms the Rams have cut Titus Young after an 'extended interview process'

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 8:20 pm

Jarvis Jones got the all clear from the doctors apparently

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 8:24 pm

That Jeff Fisher gives up on you after 4 days says all you need to know about Titus Young

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 8:42 pm

To put it in perspective, Pacman Jones lasted 3 years with Fisher, and Vince Young 5
