The NFL Thread

always enjoyed NFL, usually only catch games from the playoffs onwards though. Gonna get a bit more into it next season, never had a team as such.

Decided to choose the Jets. A) I like New York/New Jersey. B) they play in green & white c) I hate the Patriots

That ok?

 

Can't argue with that reasoning... * the patriots!

 

I would be surprised if he ended up with the Raiders if he is looking for big money. Murray may have blown hot and cold last season but he did enough to deserve another year as the Raiders starter. The only way I see Forte with the Raiders is if he comes in knowing he will not be the everyday starter and with a contract that reflects that.

 

The Jets are a cracking choice if you enjoy a lifetime of heartbreak.

At least you hate the Patriots though. Mind you, who doesn't.

 

Watched the first episode of OJ vs the people last night, a new TV show that is being shown on BBC over here. I thought it was absolutely cracking!!

I'm a little too young to remember the full trial but it's obviously one of the biggest ever! Cuba Gooding Jnr plays OJ with David Schwimmer & John Travolta also in it.

I think you should all check it out, if you haven't already.

I realised I was beginning to really like the jets having Marshall and ivory in fantasy helped so I decided I'd pick them as a team to support , first game after that decision the bills one to make it to the play offs....

 

That is great. Bengals was hilarious

 

Brady signed on till he's 42.

I wonder when he is actually going to start declining. He was as good as ever last year despite the whole of the Pats offence being injured.

 

Eagles trade everyone (Murray, Alonso and Maxwell) for draft picks

 

So Manning has retired, Logan Mankins has joined him in retirement. Robert Griffin and Jason Hatcher have been released.

Demarco Murray's time is up in Deebo, he's set to join Marcus Mariota in Tennessee.

That 1st pick of the draft looks to be even more likely to be Tunsil.

 

Calvin Johnson added to the list of retirements. Detroit Lions just got less watchable.

 

Couldn't care less about Peyton Manning retiring but Calvin Johnson retiring is something I am gutted about. He's going to be a big miss.

 

Osemele to the Raiders it's looking... Gutted.

 

Maxwell & Alonso deal to Miami looks like it may be off as the Dolphins are worried about the shoulder injury that Maxwell suffered last season

 

What a week for Denver!! Manning retired and Brock Osweiler to join Houston Texans in a deal worth $72 million. Nae QB's in the space of 3 days. Early names in the line for Denver, Kapernick,Fitzpatrick and Robert Griffin III.

Texans have also added RB Lamar Millar from Miami on a 4 year deal.

Damon Harrison has moved from the Jets to the Giants. Not all bad news, Matt Forte is joining the Jets to replace Chris Ivory who joins Jacksonville.

Alex Mack agrees deal with Atlanta. Antonio Gates agrees a new 2 year deal with San Diego and add WR Travis Benjamin from Browns to team. Former Seahawk Brandon Mebane is also a new Chargers addition.

Colts have released Andre Johnson. Dolphins release Brent Grimes and Olivier Vernon joining the Giants. Vernon deal worth $85 million over 5 years. Giants also added Janoris Jenkins to the Secondary.

Doug Martin will remain with the Buccaneers agreed a new 5 year deal.

Matt Schaub to Atlanta and Matt Cassel to Titans as backups.

Detroit add Marvin Jones at WR from Bengals and re-sign Haloti Ngata

Kansas City add Mitchell Schwartz to the OL and re-sign Tamba Hali to a new deal.

Chicago Bears add LB Danny Trevathan from Denver to roster.

 

Eric Weddle to the Ravens makes me a very happy man.

 

I'm glad people are paying running backs again. They are the work horses of most teams and I don't think its right that they don't earn the big bucks that other players can earn.

 

Patriots trade Chandler Jones to Arizona, get 2nd round pick and John Cooper
