Just in case you weren't bored with Fletcher Cox jokes, the Eagles signed Ed Wang

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 9:29 pm

Dwight Freeney cut

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 15 Feb 2013, 9:35 pm

Not surprising considering the money situation and he struggled in the Colts new scheme this year (they switched didnt they?)

Agreed... but im not that fussed.
He wasn't that great last year... has really regressed in the last 2 years as age catches up with him. He is a walking penalty... however I'd still keep him for less dosh because he still knows what he is doing and can be a good leader

yeah, he's a 4-3 end not a 3-4 OLB.
Return Mr Freeney!

by GSC Fri 15 Feb 2013, 10:15 pm

So the FA pool now includes Woodson and Freeney. Imagine Asomugha and Michael Turner will join them

by Colan (niner) Fri 15 Feb 2013, 10:19 pm

I'd take Woodson to the niners as a nickel corner though, not at safety. The guy is one of my favourite players ever. He played corner like a safety and would love that range and playmaking in ninerland

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 18 Feb 2013, 10:33 pm

D'Quan Bowers (spelt wrong I know) has been arrested on charge of carrying a gun through an airport. If convicted the minimum sentence is 3.5 years. The minimum.

Just what the Bucs fans wanted to hear!

by GSC Mon 18 Feb 2013, 10:37 pm

On the bright side he no longer has to play for the Bucs

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 18 Feb 2013, 10:39 pm

The sheer stupidity of NFL players baffles me at times. How do you not realise you have a "loaded" gun in your luggage?!?!

by GSC Mon 18 Feb 2013, 10:40 pm

In a carry on bag.

Epitome of stupidity

by **Pr4wn** Mon 18 Feb 2013, 10:55 pm

Sigh.

by BamBam Mon 18 Feb 2013, 11:03 pm

Is this the guy who was seen as the number one overall pick a couple of years ago, until his knees turned out to be made of cabbage?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 19 Feb 2013, 2:23 pm

Pats sign two guys from the CFL on the DL.

Unconventional

Don't the Eagles have somebody from the CFL on their D-line?

by GSC Tue 19 Feb 2013, 2:58 pm

Hunt?

Yeah hes alright I guess

by **Pr4wn** Tue 19 Feb 2013, 9:10 pm

The Jets have cut Bart Scott, Calvin Pace, Eric Smith and Jason Smith.

He was indeed that very same person

by **Pr4wn** Tue 19 Feb 2013, 10:12 pm

He hasn't reinjured his knees in two NFL seasons.

by GSC Tue 19 Feb 2013, 10:16 pm

I'm sure that'll be a relief when he has to pick up the soap

by **Pr4wn** Tue 19 Feb 2013, 10:18 pm

Indeed. What a moron.

by **Pr4wn** Tue 19 Feb 2013, 11:19 pm

Chiefs have released Kevin Boss and Steve Breaston.

Saints have released Johnny Patrick and David Thomas.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 20 Feb 2013, 5:12 pm

Alfonzo Dennard found guilty of assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.

For Frak sake

by **Derbyblue** Wed 20 Feb 2013, 5:20 pm

I really don't get how NFL players can possibly be so stupid. picard

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 20 Feb 2013, 5:22 pm

It happened prior to the draft last year, hence why he plummeted down the draft boards, but everywhere I read about it they thought he would get off.

Gonna be charged mid april, which puts us in a sticky situation.

Talib seemingly has to be signed now, but with his injury issues I don't particularly want us too

by **Derbyblue** Wed 20 Feb 2013, 5:42 pm

Even so it was still a stupid thing to do (slightly worse due to the timing it probably cost him a fair few million), but we've also had two guys try to take guns into airports, a tonne of drink driving issues one of which caused a players death.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 20 Feb 2013, 5:44 pm

Oh yeah some of them are beyond belief stupid! It's quite embarassing really

He could be in jail for 6 and a half years could Dennard.

So our secondary which already sucked, loses one of the bright spots. Brilliant

by crazy_dave23 Wed 20 Feb 2013, 7:15 pm

Don't get too excited but JaMarcus Russell just ran a 5.2 40 time... Sign him up Jets...

by BamBam Wed 20 Feb 2013, 10:14 pm

Richard Sherman and Darrelle Revis having a willy waving contest on Twitter regarding number of followers and how many picks they had in a season

by GSC Wed 20 Feb 2013, 10:17 pm

Revis clowned on Sherman tbf.

The I ain't your competition, Roddy is, line was priceless.

And now to lighten the mood; a more British NFL.

I think Washington Delightful Chums we had a tendency to opress should be their name if they have to change from the Redskins.

Sherman better than Revis? I've never seen Revis been beat up by anyone like Sherman was with Roddy White.

#headsgone

by GSC Thu 21 Feb 2013, 8:43 am

*cough* Ted Ginn *cough*

by CFCNick Thu 21 Feb 2013, 2:12 pm

Even Sheldon Brown is better than Sherman. I'd even go as far as to say Jayron Hosley is on par with Sherman.

Well one out of two isn't bad.

by Colan (niner) Thu 21 Feb 2013, 2:55 pm

In what way possible can Sherman ever be better than Revis?

by cherriesfna Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:44 pm

Because he is better, simple, revis is hurt and is a has ben Sherman is elite and would start on any secondary in the eague

by GSC Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:52 pm

Revis' stretch from 2008 to 2011 or so, every single season has been better than Shermans 2012 campaign.

by GSC Thu 21 Feb 2013, 4:54 pm

Now its fair to say you'd take Sherman now given his youth and uncertainty over Revis' knee, but he absolutely is not better than Revis.

by Colan (niner) Thu 21 Feb 2013, 5:05 pm

Sherman isn't a shutdown corner. Revis is simples. Would you take Lynch over Peterson because of big injury history, no

by GSC Thu 21 Feb 2013, 5:07 pm

Slight difference.

1. Sherman is probably the closest thing to one after Revis.
2. Ask that question a year ago, rather than after AD defied belief. Suffice to say, not everybody comes back from a big knee injury to win MVP.

Sherman is a shutdown corner, remember week 16???

by Colan (niner) Thu 21 Feb 2013, 9:20 pm

thats not shutdown

by cherriesfna Thu 21 Feb 2013, 9:21 pm

Please tell me all about the 49ers shutdown corners.........
