Quinn will probably be purged. Apke is on the bubble - Rivera has had some WSTDs during his time with the Panthers so Apke may serve that role for him. Their is a bit of a white purge going on today too.

Colts released Margus Hunt, Panthers released Colin Jones, Steelers released Chickillo (who never got a fair shot in Pittsburgh)

Nick Kwiatkoski signed a deal with the Raiders for 3 years for $21M. The Bears signed Trevathan for a comparable price. Kwiatkoski is a better player. He's better in coverage. Another wrong move by the Bears.

Browns just signed Conklin as well. At least they are addressing the issues that impacted Mayfield last year.

Just saw the Cardinals traded David Johnson for Deandre Hopkins - this solidifies Isabella being a screwed over 4th or 5th WR on the Cardinals. Ideally he is cut and is able to find a competent team that will utilize him.

An alert and smart team would try to snag Isabella with maybe a high to mid fourth rounder, Take advantage of the situation to gain a good player.

Pack just signed Rick Wagner. Former Badger and Wisconsin Native. If Bulaga has to go Wagner is a nice consolation prize..

Dolphins agreed to terms with S Clayton Fejedelem, formerly of the Bengals, on a three-year contract.
Fejedelem, 27 in June, played just 111 snaps for the Bengals on defense last year and isn't being viewed as a starter in Miami. His main contributions will be on special teams chasing down kicks and punts.

The Bears just signed Jimmy Graham - over the hill and not a reliable target. If they wanted to sign a reliable security blanket to help Trubisky out they should of went with Witten. Hate to say it but Trubisky is done in Chicago - they really mismanaged his development.

Supposedly the Raiders are trying to sign Marcus Mariota...

Patriots lose both Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy. Could they do something smart and sign one of the available White linebackers or draft a few of our guys? Unlikely, but it would be nice.

Joe Schobert would be a great fit for the Pats.

Just saw AJ Klein signed with the Bills.

If the season started right now my guess would be that Klein would be the starting WLB. Still have to see how the draft and training camp go.

Matt Milano is firmly entrenched as the starting SLB after a very fine season, and Trent Murphy, whose career has been plagued by injuries, came on strong the second half of last season and should be entrenched as one of Buffalo's starting DEs.

Disgruntled Stefon Diggs was just traded to Buffalo for draft picks, great news for Adam Thielen for now at least as he becomes the Vikings' clear-cut number one receiver.

Good news for Thielen and Cousins. Hopefully Diggs does not cause issues with Josh Allen in Buffalo.

Mariota to Oakland. Hopefully to hold a clipboard for the next few years. No news on Anus or Teddy Melonhead. Hopefully we see some more black quarterback displacement leading up to the draft.

Joe Schobert and Blake Martinez are our guys who have yet to sign with new teams.


I found this funny. Small, undersized safety who was not very productive gets a ridiculous contract from the Texans:

Texans signed S Eric Murray, formerly of the Browns, to a three-year, $20.25 million contract.
Murray has started 15 games across his four NFL seasons with the Chiefs and Browns. Last year, Murray started just four games because of a knee procedure that cost him all of November. At worst, Bill O'Brien has a special teamer and depth option, but this contract indicates that the Texans' coach/GM/mad-negotiator is expecting more from Murray.

Blake Martinez gets a 3 year, 30 million deal from the Whitening NY Giants.

Buffalo nabs another linebacker, Tyler Matakevich. The deal looks like backup money but it’s good to have quality depth. Hopefully they appreciate him more than the Steelers ever did.

Luke Willson resigns with Seattle. They now have 4 quality White TEs on the roster.

Saving the biggest news for last, Tom Brady is not returning to NE. He announced this on his Instagram. Hard to picture Brady in another uniform. Sad.

Panthers have given Cam Newton permission to seek a trade. He is claiming he is being forced into it.

Teddy Melonhead on a 3 year deal for starters money to Carolina. With Kuechly and Olson departing and AHDIW Part 2 (a throwback term our longtime members will know) joining, the Panthers will be as black as their namesake. Wakanda forever.

The addition of this dink and dunk legend will ensure CMac retains his status of a fantasy football monster due to volume of passes caught. However he can kiss goodbye any chance of ever being on a winning team. I hope that he is eventually traded to a Whiter team with a strong running and winning tradition.

Not every black guy lies about everything all the time. I believe the team has had enough of his act and he is, in fact being forced out. Mainly because it is the right thing for the team to do.

The way things work in the NFL, somebody was going to sign Bridgewater for starter's money even though he's a mediocre game manager at best. Might as well be the Panthers with Kuechly retiring and Olsen gone, and even Colin Jones recently cut. It's very clear what direction Carolina is going.

McCaffrey's contract expires after this season so he'll be free to seek another team. Hopefully he does rather than doing the usual "white thing" in the NFL and signing for a "hometown discount" or otherwise cheaper than what he's worth. Given who his father is and the path he followed to be the extremely rare White RB to get an opportunity, I expect (hope) he'll make a decision based solely on his best interests.

Rivers signs a one-year $25 million deal with Indy.

Ideal landing spot for him with their great o-line, just what he needs and never had with the Chargers. Won't be surprised if he puts up Andrew Luck-like passing numbers, unless Father Time has depleted his skills.

Jaguars add Joe Schobert for 5 years, 54 million dollar deal! Happy to see the man get paid and hopefully the Jags can Whiten up and build something good around Minshew.

It really shows what a despicable franchise the Browns are that they did not even attempt to resign one of the best linebackers in the league. Instead, and in predictable fashion, they threw a bunch of money at various afrolete defenders.

Possibly the best news of the day! If Rivers still has something left, he’s a big upgrade over Brissett.

One less black quarterback starting, which offsets the Melonhead signing. Hopefully a White QB displaced Tyrod Taylor who slots in for the Chargers. Where SCam and Crab Legs end up are upcoming headlines. Will they go somewhere as a starter or end up having to sign into a competition scenario?

Looks like the logical landing spot for Brady will be Tampa Bay. Ideally i'd like to see the Bucs draft Eason to develop behind Brady for a year or two. I wouldn't put it past Bellichick to either sign a black quarterback or draft one.
