I'd love to see the Bucs draft a QB in the 3rd/4th round too. Jameez hasn't been living up to his lofty draft status and media hype. The media and DWFs will only defend him of course but I have to wonder if his coach wants a to develop a backup plan. In a QB rich draft like the one this year it would not be bad to bring in some competition for an underachieving first overall pick who lacks maturity and composure.

With the addition of Unrein this buccs defense is definitely trending upwards. They'll be very strong against the run with Unrein and Allen on that line. With their weak linebackers a Josey Jewell or Leighton Vander Esch would be a good pick-up.

Winston was terrible this past season and, as far as #1 pick QBs go, mediocre his first two seasons. 19 TDs and 11 INTs plus 15 fumbles (7 lost) just shouldn't be good enough and they should bring in somebody to do to him what he (well, what management) did to Glennon. But as usual black quarterbacks, especially high-drafted ones, get endless chances to succeed no matter how terrible they are. Prediction: Winston will continue to start for the buccs for the next decade, and remain mediocre. After he retires in ~2030 the buccs will look back at the last 15 years with Winston and no success and wonder how things went wrong - must have been that pesky offensive line, or the kicker, or the punter's fault!

I dont know about Winston, if I were his coaches knowing for every TD throw he makes he will throw approximately .75 interceptions or fumble .49 times per touchdown throw...terrorizing for his own team...these are numbers that indicate he is a TERRIBLE QB!!!

A.J. McCarron signs with the Buffalo Bills.

His contract is 2 years, 10 million dollars. He can add another 6.5 million dollars in bonus money if he plays a certain amount.

McCarron's signing bonus is 4 million dollars. His guaranteed base salary is 900,000 in 2018.

McCarron's 2019 base salary is 1.9 million, plus a 3 million dollar bonus.

If McCarron takes 60 percent of snaps in 2018, he gets 1 million dollars extra(same in 2019). If he takes 75 percent of the snaps in 2018, he gets another 1 million dollars(same in 2019). If McCarron takes 75 percent of the snaps in 2018, then his 2019 salary increases by 2.5 million dollars.

If A.J. McCarron is the healthy starter for the next two years, then he will make 16.5 million dollars. That is set for life money.

Jordy visiting the Saints today.

After losing Amendola and Solder, I’m really happy that Rex was re-signed by NE. We’ll need to see the details of the contract before determining if he signed for “starter money” and will take over Lewis’ lead role next season.

If OT’s Waddle or Fleming are re-signed, the Pats will be down to two white starters (Andrews and Thuney) on the OL.

I believe Cole Croston was moved to guard after being a reserve OT last year.

Andrew Jelks is another white OT on the roster. He’s missed a bunch of time (including his rookie season last year) due to ACL tears.

Self-hating super cuck Bill Simmons on his podcast last night talking about the Patriots’ free agency needs: “We need more athleticism at outside linebacker. We’re the only team in the league that still employs White guys at outside linebacker...Kyle Van Noy...(co-host chimes in) and Shea McClellin.

Never mind that Van Noy is not White and McClellin missed the entire 2017 season. Just a blatant display of blame the White guy even when he doesn’t exist. Bill still can’t wrap his mind around the reality of his atrociously inept coal black defense.

Tell that guy Pittsburgh (of all teams) has Watt and Chick (backup)......

There’s so much white on white hate in sports and politics.....
The average white person in America is afraid of blacks.....
A. Walking down an inner city street and getting shot/mugged
B. Saying something that may not be HR approved at work
C. Saying that Hillis was the first white guy to get 1000 yards in over 20 years was taboo
D. Mentioning that the Pirates in 1971 had an all black lineup....cool
Mentioning the Pats white heavy offense and their success....not cool
E. I can go on and on, but I have to leave for work, so liberals can stay home.....

If Gruden intends to end the ethnic cleansing of Whites in the Raiders organization and make them into more of an average to above average NFL team (say 5 to 8 White starters), Oakland could be a good landing spot for Jordy, what with Derek Carr set to get back on the track to stardom under Gruden's tutelage, and Michael Crabtree released if Jordy is signed.

It seems like Buffalo's new GM is the anti-Dougtavious Whaley. He has the franchise heading in right direction shipping thyroid to Cleveland and the signings of Murphy, Williams and McCarron. I always felt McCarron was better qb on the Bengals roster, but now he finally gets opportunity to show everyone he can start in the league. I think he will be okay. The 2 year contract seems to be setup for McCarron to be dealt in a trade once the franchise qb they pick is ready.(Hopefully NOT Jackson) Word is Belichek wanted to sign McCarron to backup Brady, but maybe he will end up in NE in 2 years provided he plays well. He could be the guy to take over for Brady.

I was hoping Jordy signed with NE, but Gruden and Carr will rejuvenate his career. They will try and get the most they can of the years he has left.

Dolphins center Pouncey was just released, probably paving the way for a white center to take over.

Was just about to post this. Hoping this either paves the way for Larsen or Brendel to take over the center position. I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

Dolphins trade for C Daniel Kilgore. It looks as if Miami is going to have a 3/5 white OL this year, barring they don't draft anymore sumos.

Jordy watch!!

This is turning into a major scuffle. The Saints are charging hard and the Seahawks are still lurking. What looked like a done deal for the Raiders two hours ago has suddenly gotten muddled.

Now it is a dogfight as these teams fight like hell trying to secure Jordy. There also could be another team or two in waiting.

Stay tuned.

I'm kind of hoping Jordy doesn't go to the Raiders. I enjoy seeing them as a coal black team languishing at the bottom of the standings year in and year out, especially since they pulled that BS move to Vegas. Serves them right!

On the brightside, I'm happy at all the attention Jordy has gotten as FA so far! As a HS athlete he was of course ignored as a white kid from rural Kansas, so its nice to see NFL teams battling over him as a widely respected veteran.

Anxious to see If someone has the balls to sign Janis or if he'll disappear down memory lane.

I’m not sure how I’d feel about this move, as Woodhead would only cut into Burkhead’s workload. They already have Gronk, Hogan, Edelman and Burkhead. Spread the wealth!

Danny is garnering interest from other teams and I actually hope he signs elsewhere to become a #2 instead of a #3 or #4 in NE. Either way, it’s great that he wants to keep playing at 33.

I think the Bills are going to target Darnold or Allen in the draft. That would give them the franchise QB they have not had since Jim Kelly. My gut is telling me that Darnold is the guy Buffalo wants.

I do agree to an extent but he could be the number 2 behind burkhead at the Patriots you never know! Let's hope all this nonsense about a Gronkowski retirement is just that nonsense!
