Rusty Smith started a game against Houston before Houston were as good as they are now and lost 20-0 and threw 3 INTs to one player.

So it seems Tennessee are in dire straights in the QB department although slightly better off than the Jets.

[GSC]

And that was the year the Texans couldnt stop a nose bleed through the air.

[GSC]

I'd argue if the Jets sign Kolb I'd rather them than the Titans.

[Derbyblue]

Oh and the 49ers have signed Phil Dawson .. Well at least FGs shouldn't be too much of an issue this season

A shame to see him leave Cleveland but doesn't seem like we were ever really in the running and he gets the chance at a SB win.

Browns are my dark horses.

I would like to think we can be but we do still have issues despite some good FA signings so far and not a lot of draft picks to solve the problems with, a long way to go before the season starts though so who knows what may change by then.

[GSC]

I like the Rams. Long hasn't been particularly great the last 2 years, but hes an upgrade on that line. Add a couple of more pieces on the OL and out wide.

[Bull]

i personally think that Urlacher will still be a bear cant see him finding a better offer then the one we offered so i see him coming back even if "we are moving on" after Urlacher realizes there's not much of a market for him i see him coming back for the 2m offer.

[GSC]

[GSC]

DJ Williams will replace Urlacher

[cherriesfna]

Is that for the hit, or the accurate throw from Sanchez

[GSC]

Ravens expected to open on the road.

Pittsburgh or Denver the two viable options I imagine

[GSC]

The NFL has the power to make MLB regret this if it so wishes

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Bet the MLB game gets washed out

[cherriesfna]

The NFL has the power to make MLB regret this if it so wishes

And I hope it does, baseball is like watching paint dry,

We have to relocate the FA cup final because the national paint drying championship is happening in London that day

[NYJ]

I know you're trying to be funny, but that's the kind of throw Sanchez is actually good at. He has a tight spiral and a good arm when he can step into the intermediate throws. He just doesn't show it on a consistent basis when his first read isn't there.

[Lowlandbrit]

I find it hard to believe in Jake Locker.

they also have no competant back-up

ins t there back-up Rusty smith, i cant take a guy who calls himself rusty seriously as a QB

Titans signed Fitzpatrick.

[Guest]

Lechler has agreed terms with Houston, speaks volumes of raiders that they have lost their second best player (first being Seabass)

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Yeah but werent he also one of your highest paid gazzy? That speaks volumes about the Raiders too haha!

[Bull]

Zbikowski agrees to one-year deal with Bears

have no idea who he is lol, anyone know if he is any good?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Former part of the Colts secondary. Got released by them. Tells you all you need to know really...

[GSC]

Hes a boxer

Must admit, as much as I don't like baseball, I love that the NFL have ended up looking stupid over this. Anything that makes Roger Goodell look like an idiot is fine by me. Had to laugh at all the talk about this "tradition" of the Superbowl winner opening on the Thursday night at home. They've only Been doing it for 9 years!! That's not a tradition..... I've got pants that are older than that! Good on the MLB for sticking to their guns. The NFL owners are bullies so it's nice to see them getting a bit of egg on their face over this.

[Bull]

how about D.J Williams is he any good?

[Guest]

He was but is still a sad day. Lets face he may only be a punter but he was still a raider, stuck with us through thick and thin

[GSC]

Osi Umenyioura will be a Falcon.

First piece of the DE jigsaw falls.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Right tackle Sebastian Vollmer expected to sign four-year deal with Patriots tomorrow, according to a source.

[Derbyblue]

Browns signed TE Kellen Davis and CB Chris Owens, not a fan of the Davis signing but maybe as it's only a year contract he'll be trying to earn an extension, Owens could start opposite Haden but they may not be done adding corners.

Filed to ESPN Boston: the Patriots and free agent OT Sebastian Vollmer have reached an agreement on a new contract.

According to Field Yates on twitter.

Thank **** for that.

[GSC]

As I said, the longer Vollmer was unsigned, the more likely he was to return.

[BamBam]

Dumervil has signed with the Ravens

[BamBam]

If its less than 8m a year, then they have got cheaper as well as upgraded on Kruger

[GSC]

Source, haven't seen this anywhere?

[GSC]

nvm, seen it now.

Dunno if hes an upgrade as such. Very lightweight vs the run, more a situational pass rusher

[crazy_dave23]

NFL.com has it now

[GSC]

5 years 35m

[BamBam]

Probably gives the Ravens the best pair of edge pass rushers along with Suggs

[GSC]

Indeed, have to be creative with Dumervil on run downs though.

[NYJ]

Courtney Upshaw is an excellent run defender. Excellent.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Should imagine they'll use Dumervil/Upshaw how they used Kruger/Upshaw, with Dumervil being a situational pass rusher

[GSC]

Michael Bennett has a torn rotator cuff

[Pr4wn]

Ha!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Jim Irsay's receiver he had a orgasm over on twitter is Darrius Heyward Bay

[cherriesfna]

Michael Bennett has a torn rotator cuff

[Pr4wn]

No wonder he went so cheaply.

[GSC]

in the midst of all these cheap DE deals, Anthony Spencer is making 10.6m this year

[Number-25]

Antoine Winfield to visit the Redskins on Wednesday...... Oh please let us find a way to sign him!

[Number-25]

in the midst of all these cheap DE deals, Anthony Spencer is making 10.6m this year

Are you suggesting that Jerruh may have made a bad personnel decision......... surely not????

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 1m
Real numbers on #Patriots deal with Vollmer are in (tho @ProFootballTalk had some yesterday). $7M signing bonus. 4 years/$16.75M base. So...

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 57s
On Vollmer's deal: Pats protected team for injury: Has to play 80 or 90% to see extra $9.25M. If he plays 79% each year, just gets the base

[mikeygnfl]

Jim Irsay's receiver he had a orgasm over on twitter is Darrius Heyward Bay

A few sources have said the WR the Colts wanted was apparently Larry Fitzgerald but Irsay couldn't quite get the trade through.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 3m
For those #Patriots fans asking about Sebastian Vollmer's cap number. I'm told it's $3M for 2013.

[GSC]

Cowboys have signed Justin Durant

Or at least they've agreed to when they have cap space.
