Yep, it’s official. Still no obvious reason why but he seems keen to move on. I feel like the Raiders might make a cannonball splash in this pool.

The thing is his contract with the Steelers is pretty big still. 

Niners are keen but are they willing to pay up big for him.

Yeah another 3 years or something like that. It's a bit of a punt at 31, yes he's brilliant and could go a while yet but still a risk. Some new off field issues don't help. 

I'd welcome him of he came but still not convinced he's a perfect fit. Would rather a decent long threat and some serious pass rush this FA.

The Raiders have serious cap room and are desperate for a big fish. Gruden is a fan so would make sense.

Yeah and with Bell linked with Ravens the Steelers could be a very different proposition.

Think I'll be wearing my Patriots jacket to round one, please lads don't creep up and behind me and slap me in the head. Go Pats Go. Been a fan since the Booming Darren Bennett started punting so I don't mind the Chargers either. Pity Drew Brees didn't stay there, their history would of been different and won a title or two. 

Congrats 4KW and welcome to the thread ... look forward to your contributions going forward.

The fella's here just love the Patriots winning all the time too  ?? ... so give 'em heaps!  Winners are grinners.

Foles to the Jags?

@Clintosaurus  @Dappa Dan  - thoughts?

Not sure Macca. Definite step up from Bort but probably means no Haskins in this year's draft.

The Giants could get in first anyway (?) 

Here's his Combine performance ...

Yeah sounds like a good fit. I'd like to see him go somewhere with a defense. Wish him all the best of course. I don't know too much about their offense, aside from De Fillippo and him loving each other. Could be awesome actually.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

I think the jags are a good fit, but will be interested to see if it lands how he goes.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Rams signing free agents already. 

Sullivan gone, Joyner looks gone, got in Weddle who I’m stoked about, they are hoping to get Fowler to re commit, don’t think Suh is that high a priority unless he take big pay cut.

Edited March 10, 2019 by Gorgoroth

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Rams sign Fowler for up to 14.2 mil depending on incentives which equals the 5th year amount he would have made if Jags took his 5th year option.

Weddles money has gone from being reported in the 12mil over two years to 10.4mil over two years.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Foles to the jags, 88mil contract

Joyner to the Raiders.

OBJ to Browns! Wow, anyone see that coming?

It's brilliant. LeVeon Bell to the Jets too. Free Agency/Trade period this year is mental.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Surely the Browns can’t stuff it up this year.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Bortles to visit the Rams on Monday.

[layzie 33,753]

Baker has one of the more accurate deep balls going around so this move makes the right sounds. Surely on the up now?

Gotta hope his o-line canbuy him time for the receivers s to get down field, but his receiving core is first rate.

Yeah 100% That will be the secret sauce. Either way they are gonna be a fun watch.

Russell Wilson might be leaving Seattle.

Wants a bigger contract than Seattle will give. I hope he leaves and goes to another division ?

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Wilson’s new deal is 4yrs at $140mil, wow. QB money is getting silly.

Great posturing and great result for him. Crazy money but he's certainly a QB I'd want to pay!

It’s getting to the point where I think the QB money is getting silly again. Sure they are super important but O though wilson would rather a good oline to protect him and 5mil less a year. Might even survive the four years.
