Foles back to the Eagles. Amazing that no team brought him in to be a starting QB, he returns to the Eagles to back up Wentz. Arizona could surely have used him but I think the fat tub of a GM for the Cardinals is going to draft a black quarterback to replace palmer.

White athletes have a short leash. His awful tenure with St Louis somehow convinced the league he can't be a starter anymore.

Rex Burkhead is visiting Patriots today!!!!

Given that their only power-back, LeGarrette Blount, is highly unlikely to sign with NE...the signing of Burkhead could be an amazing addition for our cause. The mere fact that the team is interested shows that they believe he could be a 1st/2nd down RB in their system. They already have two quality scat backs (James White and Deion Lewis), so Burkhead must interest them as a power-back in some manner.

Brandon Bolden (currently a free agent) was also a power-back for NE last year, but he's exclusively a special teamer and receives no carries or PT whatsoever. Hopefully they aren't looking to replace Bolden with Burkhead, as this article suggests...

If Blount leaves, then it would be a great move on the NE and Rex.

Don't the Patriots still have Tyler Gaffney?
It seems to me that Tyler and Rex are of the same mold.
Very similar in style and versatility.

Gaffney has been constantly injured (and is also part mestizo). Burkhead is durable and has a proven track record in the NFL. Big difference between the two.

I hope New England signs him. At least a few more DWFs will be wondering, How come my team never "copies" the Patriots and utilizes White talent?

Eh, again, looks like a crowded backfield... Blount, White, and Lewis, are already established; there are plenty of other opportunities out there. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him out there with Gronk, Edelman and co., but if he's looking to start, I don't know if the Pats are the best option...

So many other teams could use Burkhead - the colts and redskins are two teams that would benefit from him on the roster immediately. I figured Gruden would of remembered him from his tenure in Cincinatti - guess not though.

Colts just re-signed Gore's backup Robert Turbin. I'd say that if there were any teams interested in signing Burkhead to be their main back, they would have gone after him by now. Might as well sign with New England. Looks like Blount won't be re-signed, Lewis didn't look completely healthy last year coming back from a blown-out knee, and White is small and really wasn't that good until his big Super Bowl game. Rex can run well between the tackles, and is an excellent receiver and pass protector. He'd be ideal for New England.

Would be interesting to see T-Rex end up in New England. Not to mention he would have a chance go go to a super bowl. Every player dreams of that. He is an outstanding running back and I think it would be a nice fit. The Colts, or Redskins
would also make sense.

The Aboriginal Zeke Elliot in the news. Apparently there is a video of him pulling up a woman's top at St Patricks Day Parade. The dwfs are trying to down play by saying our POTUS grabbed womens genetelia many years ago before he got into politics. LOL

Chase Daniel released.

Margus Hunt signed a 2 year deal with the Colts! Will be nice to see him and John Simon on the field together.
Don't forget Henry Anderson too. He was looking like a star in the making rookie year but injuries derailed his sophomore campaign. If the Colts drafted or sign a White WR they could be great to support again.

I'm hoping they'll draft McCaffrey. Since firing Ryan Grigson, who wasn't a complete caste clown but close enough, Indy may be going back to what worked for so long during the Polian/Peyton Manning era when they were always among the most successful teams and not coincidentally always among the White friendliest. Frank Gore has been an admirable running back, but he's very near the end and Robert Turbin is not starting material. CM would be an obvious first round choice for them.

Good pickup for them; he should be in line to start alongside Anderson and Parry, with Simon at OLB. ILB Luke Rhodes will also be in the mix.

Also looks like longtime Eagle DT Bennie Logan is signing with the Chiefs, which should open the door for Beau Allen.

Blubber Boy is richly rewarded for his sloth and still limitless upside by Seattle with a one-year $5.55 million deal with $3 million guaranteed. Will Green Bay now be interested in Burkhead or McCaffrey to replace him?

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports new Seahawks RB Eddie Lacy weighed 267 pounds at one of his three free agent visits. Stunning. It's unclear if this was Lacy's weight at his Seahawks visit, but it doesn't make much difference. The 'Hawks knew they were signing a running back who is wildly out of shape, and has been for some time. Clearly coach Pete Carroll believes he can whip Lacy into form. Listed at 234, Lacy has enormous upside — no pun intended — when he's in shape and healthy, but he was neither in 2016. Lacy turns 27 in June. Hopefully a light turns on this summer.

Noticed that a couple big busts from 2013 - Datone Jones and Jarvis Jones are free agents. Both were HUGE busts yet have predictably remained unscathed in sports media. Jarvis Jones was just signed by the Cardinals.

Cardinals agreed to terms with OLB Jarvis Jones, formerly of the Steelers and some more WTF analysis from weenieworld:

Jones was supposed to visit the Rams next, but the Cardinals wouldn't let him leave without a deal. Jones has been a disappointment as the No. 17 overall pick of the 2013 draft, but is coming off his best season. He'll be playing in a 3-4 defense similar to Pittsburgh's. Jones provides zero pass-rushing upside, but is decent enough at setting the edge.

Jones never had more than 2 sacks in any of his first 4 seasons and has 6 total sacks in 4 years. The Cardinals are a rabidly pro black organization and their self hating white GM has never met a black player he did not like.

Lol so glad his fatass is outta GB!

Lol weenieworld bends over backwards to accommodate these bums all the while insulting any and every pale face they come across. Both the Jones' are bums and Eddie Lacy is a fat **** with zero self discipline, that has just about eaten himself outta the league. The fact this lard ass was just rewarded a 5million $$ contract is proof of just how black power this farce of a league has become over the last 40 years. Extension of affirmative action policy in this country.

Cowboys sign BUST Jon Cooper. Amazing how this privileged ******* keeps getting chances after chance. Let's hope this buffoon is the weak link in Dallas OL. They've lost Doug Free and Ronald Leary already and they replace Leary with a proven bust. My prediction: Dak and Zeke will be knocked down a notch with a Sophomore slump.

Patriots officially sign Rex Burkhead. Big chance for him with White and Lewis entering last years of their contract. Come on Rex and well done Belicheck just as you worry about the pats off season FA moves he comes through again with a middle finger to the caste system.

Awesome news! Now if Belicheck would just draft a white defender or two..

Great signing by the Patriots and congrats to Rex! He potentially can be the replacement for Blount, and given his pass catching skills, might be used as a three-down back more than any New England RB since Corey Dillon.

I took a look at the twitter feed used by Weenieworld as its source, and yikes! Race brought up instantly. I think some of them are being sarcastic but who knows. It's clear that everyone now sees the Patriots as a "White" team even though they're a typical NFL team racially on defense. In the eyes now even of DWFs, Patriots = white = best team year and year out.

Here's the Field Yates' twitter and the reaction to it: https://twitter.com/FieldYates/status/841751237737472000

Don't want to get too excited at this point given how the NFL has a way of smashing hopes, but 2017 may well see Burkhead, McCaffrey, Woodhead and Zenner all getting significant carries. And possibly Juszyzck may get to carry some in San Fran.
