2018 NFL offseason thread

[Machinator 32097]

Was a very robust free agency cycle this year. Annual league meeting in Orlando starts today and lasts until the 28th.

Draft is April 26-28 in the Death Star.

Suh and Donald on the same DL, good luck opposing offensive lines.

I'm predicting Gruden will be the guy to go for it if the Raidiz give him his way and can deal with the cap. Cooper is an RFA after this season and they may let him walk.

[Machinator 32097]

 

[HenryJames 65868]

That's a terrible plan.

I assume this is aimed at offensive players?

What the NFL needs is more rules

The Ryan Shazier rule.

[Machinator 32097]

Raiders release P Marquette King. Usually I don't pay attention to the movement of specialists in the NFL (unless it's Tucker, Dawson, or soon, Michael Dickson), but this one's a bit of a head-scratcher given he was pretty good and a fan favorite.

[In re UofA 29]

More replays to determine movements within a split second of a collission. This will improve the game.

[DougO 5239]

Yeah, they say they're simplifying one thing with the catch rule, which really doesn't come into play as much as it seems. But the lowering the head deal is going to cause a new level of frequent and monotonous stupidity and inconsistency in replay.

They'd like less lawsuits and more youth participation...... but yea, I'm skeptical this will be an effective solution as well.

Pats just traded Brandon Cooks to the Rams for a 1st and swap of 4th and 6th round picks.

[Radical Larry 28523]

[Machinator 32097]

I get that the Rams are going all-in on next season, but wow. That seems like a lot for a guy with one year left on his contract.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Jesus Christ, how has Brandin Cooks been worth a 1st round pick two years in a row?

[Patrick Bateman 3903]

Cooks, another year of Cupp and Gurley..... Rams want their title with the stadium. 

[Radical Larry 28523]

Pats are going to use 23 and 31 to move up.

He's pretty good..... problem is his contract is up after next year and he'll get paid.....

Would not be surprised. The last time the Patriots had multiple first round picks (2012), they took Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower. Pretty damn good.

Now all of this talk about the pats trading up to 4 to grab a quarterback. Damnit, not what I wanted to hear about endlessly up to the draft. 

[Sgt Hulk 13637]

Rams are loading up

Whatever the Patriots do it usually always turns out right. Fucking guys.

Also whatever the Lions do, they will have a huge egg on their face because whatever they do is like the Midas touch in reverse. The stuff they touch turns to shit.

They are loading up on old Patriots up here. Signed Matt Cassell. Maybe they can get Bruschi and McGinest to help out on D.

Needs more Lawyer Milloy.

If the charges are true, fuck him. Lock him up a year for every punch thrown and add a few more for good measure. If true, I hate that he ever wore the uniform of the team I support. I sure as hell do not support this kind of bullshit.

[Don Johnson 4744]

Were the Seahawks dumb enough to expect him to stop?  That would be the biggest case of selling out ever.

[DougO 5239]

Fake news. The Seahawks love assholes.
