NFL News, Rumors and Musings

Packers are letting Tyler Lancaster walk. Let's hope someone else sees his value. Solid rotational guy on DL and can be had for cheap.

Does look like they will keep Tonyan though!

Every mock I've seen has Chicago or New England grabbing Trey Lance. Could very well happen.

I wouldn't put it past either team to draft him. It's ironic because Belichick is chummy with Saban so you think everyone would connect the dots and place Mac Jones in New England. Belichick does love all of the black Alabama and SEC players but does not seem to be showing interest in the elite whitey QB prospect. As for the Bears - Pace and the Rodent are clueless and I am glad Trubisky is out of there. I honestly don't want Lawrence to end up in Jacksonville either - I am hoping that Meyer pulls some stupid trade to get out of the 1st pick.

Where Mac Jones ends up is key. He's actually had more hype than I expected him to have, so that's a plus.

Pace and Rodent are feeling the heat, they know they are on the hot seat. I'm also glad Trubisky is out and hopefully head somewhere else and re emerge down the road.

Urban could shock everyone and take Fields, not that far fetched. It is crazy to think that he allowed Weddle to play for him at sometime.

Tampa is reported to be interested in signing James White, which if it happens will increase the chances of Rex staying in New England. This article predicts Burkhead will stay:

Rex Burkhead
The Patriots probably are going to need a new receiving back. Burkhead, 30, might not start the season because of a torn ACL but he’s a good player and a great leader. Because of the injury, he shouldn’t cost much and the Pats should bring him back to add a pass-catcher to the running back room. https://www.metrowestdailynews.com/...hile-others-leave-via-free-agency/4703722001/

Jonnu Smith's career high in receiving yardage over a four year NFL career is just 448. Hunter Henry should have no trouble being the Patriots' dominant tight end as long as he can stay healthy.

Dumb move. Lancaster is a solid player.

Texans signed idler arm, Dolphins signed Brissett and Dalton to the Bears

I've seen this "idler arm" nickname a number of times. What does it mean?

Deshaun Watson sued for sexual assault, denies allegations
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's always the same with 99.9 % of blacks. Given enough time, they'll do something. I guess that KO's the idea of trading the jerk, if they were even thinking of it. I wonder how his agent feels about now?

Maybe he did or maybe he didn't. To me it seems like a smart PR move by Texans.. Dig some dirt on this guy that has been Bitchin this whole off-season. Take away some of the leverage the Afflete has with a smear campaign.. Just a thought. Not like it's so far fetched to believe though.

23tkls as a rotational player on DL isn't bad. Especially considering he was considered camp fodder a couple of years ago as a UDFA.

i believe it was a nickname missing member and bills fan italianstallion gave him a few years back. It has stuck.

lol the Tom Iron rule never fails!

Karras back at the Patriots at centre for Andrews or at guard, good signing solid player.

 

[woody39]

Alex Mack one of the best centres going to the 49ers, another good addition for them.

Cardinals sign another aging WR to take snaps and playing time away from Isabella. This time it’s AJ green.

Annoying but unfortunately plays into the narrative and pattern of white athletes not being given a fair shot, more clear evidence of best players with the measurables not being given the fair chance.

Cody Davis safety and core special teamer re signs with the Pats

Chad Beebe back with the Vikings on 1 year deal

This is especially stupid. It’s bad enough they had the lead footed Fitzgerald stealing snaps from Isabella. Now they bring in another afrolete who’s a couple years over the hill. You can almost guarantee he’ll be given every opportunity for snaps instead of Andy even though he could run circles around Green.

 

[Snowplow]

If the Browns are smart they’d call the Cardinals and ask about swapping Njoku to Isabella. Njoku was hyped as part of the “next generation” of tight ends (basically no-blocking affletes who are just big WRs). Instead they sign Hooper and draft Bryant, dropping him to TE3. Isabella is from the Cleveland area, and the Browns get a speedster with inside/outside flexibility (something they like). Meanwhile Njoku can go to a place where he can be #1 and in a system that fits him, and with a black quarterback.
Also the Cards landed Rodney Hudson, and depending on the fates of impending FA JR Sweezy and rumored cap casualty Justin Pugh, they could potentially have an all-sumo OL. Hopefully someone is smart to pry Gardeck (RFA) and Weaver (practice squad) away.

Raiders sign huge bust Solomon Thomas to a 1 year deal. He was the third pick in the 2017 draft and yielded 6 sacks over 4 seasons with the 49ers. He was injured for just about all of 2020 but that does not take away from his bust status. Hard to imagine a white DE at 6'2 280lbs would be the third overall pick of the draft if he were to be drafted at all. 2017 might be a pretty huge bust year as well - 2015 has been pretty epic in terms of busts but we have seen quite a 2017 busts get signed during this FA period.

Cody Davis safety and core special teamer re signs with the Pats

Davis is a physical specimen but regulated to Special Teams. Friggin ********. 6'2 200lbs with 4.4 speed. At least he's carved out a niche.

So many BUSTs recycled! Thomas can join Ferrell as BUSTS on that DL for Vegas!

Isabella's racial apprenticeship extended! Hopefully one of the veteran WRs blows out their knee. Isabella will probably need a couple of injuries if hes ever to see the field in AZ! He might be better off getting cut or longshot, traded for

Derek Wolfe resigned with Baltimore..I see Atlanta traded for blocking TE Lee Smith
