2014 NFL Offseason Thread

Good luck on that. Watch the Niner fans boo the 'home' team when the Raiders take the field.
This happens all the time with the Jets/Giants and those fans are far rowdier than Niner fan.
If Raider fan travels to the new 'stick' I expect stabbings, crushings and name callings but. overall, turrible attendance.

The deals gonna get done. The clock is only ticking because that's how the Davis' roll. If not, back to LA we go.

Man every time I look at this Bills' roster I end up impressed. That team will be fun to follow this year.

I'd to actually see them win and be the best team in 'New York'.

12 days in jail, 235 hours of community service, 2,000 fine, 3 years probation (no guns/ammo allowed) for DUI + gun charges for career dumbass Aldon Smith. Also a fine for the 49ers for the 11 days of work missed (credit for one day already served)

When a rap sheet make you a bigger beast than you already are, you're job is already done.
Safety Jack Tatum paralyzed a cat once, so his rep grew. One day, a receiver came over the middle, saw Tatum, and ducked.
Tatum pretty much retired right after that, wiped his hands, and said he he was done.

A fan asked AJ Hawk to tackle him today (at the American Century Championship...golf event) And he obliged.

 

[Red Rain]

You had me at tackle.
Good for bash brother #2. Bash brother #1 may have dislocated the cat's shoulder.

Does this mean Ray Rice can hit the hole as hard as he can hit his wife?

I'd not be down with that. Domestic violence is bad.

Watching the 1st half of this CFL game. Nice to know Troy Smith still sucks.

Anyway, Since it's still July and I want to talk football, while not sure how interesting some of these are, it's fascinating in general to see ESPN's 53-man roster projections.

-Baltimore keeping UDFA Jeremy Butler over Michael Campanero and Deonte Thompson. Kinda shocking to look back and see Thompson was gonna be a starter last year lol. LOL. So much speed and such a big body but was pure ass at Florida.

-Cotchery winning the #1 WR job in Carolina. Charles Johnson as the #1 WR in Carolina (Fantasy sleeper!)

-Texans having Alfred Belue back up Arian instead of Andre Brown, Ahmad Bradshaw being the Colts' backup

-Dolphins keeping Daniel Thomas in the wake of the Moreno injury

-Giants keeping Peyton Hillis over Andre Williams (Wasn't Hillis surprisingly good, Danny?)

-Raiders keeping undrafted really speedy running back George Atkinson over Greg Little's scrub ass

-Eagles keeping UDFA Matthew Tucker at RB, cutting Maehl, Damaris Johnson, and Arrelious Benn

bit of potential news on a guy who was touted as a potential big sleeper this year

Personally think it's BS, but you never know

 

[Snowman1]

Well Hillman does have a lot of physical talent, but it's hard to believe they would cut someone they were so high on last year.

With so many of these camp battles - especially that one - it depends on preseason. They can consider Hillman the better back all they want but if he coughs up the rock a few more times he'll be on his way out.

Good for Kenny Guiton, was surprised no one decided to roll with him when it came time to sign undrafted free agents.

Bet he'll make a healthy living with KISS unless someone decided to sign him away, kids been studly so far in that league.

"Doctors used a "cutting-edge medical procedure" to heal Julio Jones' troublesome right foot and prevent the injury from recurring.

The fifth metatarsal bone Jones has fractured twice is notorious for being difficult to heal due to a limited blood supply. In order to help the healing process, Dr. Robert Anderson took bone marrow from Jones' hip and injected into the wide receiver's foot. This coupled with a new, larger screw inserted into the bone should accelerate the healing process and decrease the chances of another re-injury. Jones could be recovered in time for the start of training camp, and is a lock for Week 1. He is a top-five wide receiver in all formats. Jul 19 - 9:28 AM"

So Johnny Manziel comletely mowed down the competition in terms of jersey sales.

Marcell Dareus failed the Bills' conditioning test and was placed on the non-football injury list

 

[Snowman1]

That's truly a shame. The nightmare Bills' offseason continues. Just give @DK James some hope, dammit!

Hey D'Z, can you do me a random favor? If you ever hear anything about UDFA kicker Michael Palardy, please pass it along buddy.

Looks like Kyle Orton has officially retired... Does anyone else think that - with the last few years there being a surprise pick to go #1 overall, it could be the Cowboys this year? They're really gonna need Romo to keep them in games (which he's really underrated at) and he's coming off back surgery with Brandon Weeden as a backup now. Yayyyyyy.
