I think that if the Vikings miss out on Cousins, they should go get Foles

I am not convinced the Browns will climb out of the cellar.  They weren't totally depleted of talent the last two years, yet went 1-31...and then kept that head coach. :eek :eek :lol :lol 

What I am saying is, will anyone be surprised if the Browns have the number 1 pick in next year's draft again?

Not me; Buffalo didn't make the playoffs BECAUSE of Tyrod.  I won't go so far to say they made it in SPITE of him, but losing him doesn't jeopardize their chances next year.

Well the one good thing of OBJ's video is that the Giants may have get a little more leverage in getting him to perform and not sit out or cause issues this year since now he really doesn't look like someone that's deserving of 60+ million guaranteed.

In Foxborough news, Butler to Detroit and Amendola to Miami. Butler was obviously leaving, but I'd have loved to hang on to Amendola. Dude was an asset to have around. I certainly understand not busting the bank for him, though.

I did see thsat Sam Bradford signed a 1 year deal with Arizona 20 mil.  15 guaranteed.  Then i saw a Tweet from Matt Chatham saying "Sam Bradford's agent is an American Hero. :lol

Jordy Nelson is done as far as being an elite WR.  Injuries have taken his speed and ability to get deep away from him.

The signing of Keenum makes me ill.  :censored

Cousins now has more pressure on him than any player in the NFL.

Now it's Tennessee, and does appear to be all but official. 5yr/61m, 31 guraranteed.


That's what they pay Endelman.  He told them he wanted more money but the Pats wouldn't budge.
Well, the Pats got him for a song last year (just under 3m), so he earned the right to ask for more. I hate players that demand "more than that guy," though.

No doubt.  He also wanted to play more.  Part of the issue with that is he's very injury prone.  They held him back so he would be good to go for the playoffs.

Can Nelson play that slot role?

As for Cousins, my god I am going to be the most surprised person on the planet if this all pans out.  I NEVER had him at that level.   I thought he was a fill in, to be honest.

Cousins is a good QB and an upgrade over Keenum.  As loaded as the Vikings are, they don't need him to be Brady or Rodgers.  The thing is, a million things could happen that prevent the Vikings from equaling or surpassing what they did last year, but the blame will all be on Cousins if that happens.  That is why I am surprised he went there.

So the Browns signed Hyde to a three year deal.  Does that mean they are definitely taking a QB #1?  If so, I am drooling for Barkley to the Giants, if for no other reason than to continue rooting for him (my favorite college player to watch the last 3 years at PSU), but I do think he is the real deal.

Looks like Deion Lewis is joining Butler in Tennessee. Another one where I'm happy for the guy to get a payday, and given NE's depth it's not like he's irreplaceable. The Titans just need to understand what they're getting. Deion's too small to be durable. He has to be used situationally.

Rough year for the Pats in free agency. Aside from Nate most of the losses have been in areas where there's depth, but it's still a lot of big name players.

And Mike Trout is widely considered to be the best player in baseball, but he doesn't have much in wins to show for it.

Generally yes, but with QBs I'd say it's slightly different. They are the most important member of a team and directly impact the success of the team more than any other player.

But - ok, so you think Kirk Cousins is a top tier QB? I'd consider him middle of the pack or slightly above.

I'd say slightly above average, but he is still young enough to improve and be great.  The good thing about him is that he seems like he wants to prove his worth to everyone.  I think he is over paid and a product of the current market, but he has the potential and experience.  I'm more shocked at the Bradford guaranteed money.

I love the Bridgewater signing. He and McCown will fight it out in training camp, and we'll draft one of the big 4, and let that guy ride the pine. My prediction? Teddy will win the job, have a great year, and revitalize his career.

I'd put Cousins in that 11-15 range if I had to rank the starting QBs in the NFL.  He lost all of his best weapons last season in Washington and still had a good season.  Most QB's would have a hard time winning consistently in Washington with that train wreck of a owner.

  I'm more shocked at the Bradford guaranteed money.

I generally agree with all of this. Especially the Bradford thang.

At 20 million, Bradford will get 5 million for every game he starts and finishes. :lol :lol
