What is scary about maclin is he was a legit #1 just a few years back. Him healthy with desean, mccoy, and chip is stupid scary

I've never thought Mac was a WR1. He is a great 2 to have across from DeSean though

What's the chance of Incognito staying in Miami?

As a Dolphin fan I say cut both Incognito and Martin and move on... I think Martin will be released soon and Incognito will be shopped and if we can't get anything he will be released as well... time to put that behind us and focus on the coming season... building the OL and getting a stronger, more bruising RB. Everything should work itself out if that happens.

True that I think if we do happen to get a WR like Huff or Watkins in the draft (as much as I want to go all Defense this year) DeSean is going to get plenty of plays for him moved into the slot that way we can have pure dominance. Maclin & a Speedster on the outsides, DeSean tearing up the slot like he was born to do and Avant opposite him in the slot being a true slot possession receiver.. With Shady, the TE Ertz and Chip this kind of combo would be almost unstoppable because no one would know who to look for.

If Incognito is there then Martin will not be there haha, he'll probably be on the Colts for the '14-'15 season.
As for Richie idk, those texts were pretty whack he was talking about a lot of ruthless shit, he definitely won't be on any team's veterans council again soon but he should find himself a spot on a roster just fine.. Although I don't think it will be the Dolphins, he's kind of pissed at how hastily they went about the investigation.

It needs to be done. St Louis had their run with the greatest show on turf, but L.A. is home. St Louis is so into their baseball that maybe it's not a big loss for them

it seems likely, the rams can leave after this next season. st louis is not going to give stan 700 million for upgrades

I suppose. Any news on guys re-signing?

Apparently the Raiders are dragging ass in negotiations with Veldheer and Houston. brilliant

What are the chances of Jimmy Graham and the Saints parting ways? Payton has expressed that they aren't going to shell out a ridiculous amount of money to keep him. I'm sure there's at least one other TE hungry team that's willing to do just that.

I don't see how they let him walk. Maybe a franchise tag and trade? But you don't let JImmy Graham walk away. He is worth a lot of money and the Saints should give it to him.

I don't think it's very high, there is a chance but I think they will franchise tag him

Raiders need to re-sign Houston/Veldheer, sign Alex Mack and Michael Johnson

 

[Snowman1]

I suppose. Any news on guys re-signing?

Apparently the Raiders are dragging ass in negotiations with Veldheer and Houston. brilliant

Lions resigned their center, that do anything for you?

Come on, Oakland. From what I've read everywhere Lamarr is your best player and a must-sign, so... what are you waiting for? You have the room... Haven't heard anything from Baltimore except Jacoby Jones has taught some kids dance lessons. yay.

Actually kinda interested to see where McFadden goes. He might still be... well, McFadden elsewhere, but maybe he could be a servicable running back somewhere else and a good story while you guys keep Rashad/Reece and be happy.

Graham's getting tagged for sure but they're already arguing money. Looking at the FA list Pitta's already 29. Wow.
