Raiders are going after cromartie

Goddamnit. We lost Breaston.

Braylon is a bum. I'm glad they don't have any interest in him.

Lions players are talking to Tulloch and Barnett on Twitter.

Im diggin' a Tulloch/Levy/Barnett LB Core.

Lions finna get a CB too.

Raiders are going after cromartie

Does his contract have a clause including season tickets for his 14 children by 13 women?

Lions agreed to terms with LB Justin Durant on a two-year contract.

It may seem like an under-the-radar acquisition, but Durant is a true thumper now playing behind a devastating defensive front. He played well at middle linebacker and on the weak side in Jacksonville, so it's not clear where he'll start out in Detroit. If Durant can stay healthy, he's a key piece in the Lions' revamped defense. Beat writer Tom Kowalski doesn't believe a Durant signing has any impact on a potential Stephen Tulloch addition.

I love what the Detroit Lions are doing. All they need is for Stafford to stay healthy and get a bit of run game going.

 

[SHOGUN]

Since losing DRC to Philly seems inevitable, I really hope the Cardinals can offset the loss by signing Jonathan Joseph from Cincy.

Orton to Miami trade is done. Only thing holding it up is Miami wants Orton to sign a long term extension for around 6 million a year.
-per NFL Network.

Steelers agreed to terms with K Shaun Suisham.
Suisham did stabilize Pittsburgh's kicking game following the release of Jeff Reed, but he's never been reliable in several stops with the Cowboys and Redskins.


You better hope a big game doesnt come down to a FG.

missed 1 FG all regular season :guitar:

I don't think we should have given up on Suisham. He might very well be the next David Akers, who played a game or two for Washington before going to Philly.

The Redskins have not yet decided whether to use Barry Cofield at defensive end or nose tackle.
They'll sort it out on the training camp practice field. Cofield, who signed a six-year, $36 million blockbuster late Tuesday night, was a nose tackle in the Giants' 4-3. At 6'4/306 he's built more like a defensive end for Washington's 3-4 scheme, but it isn't like the Redskins have better options inside. We still have the expectation that Cofield will be a "0-technique" nose.

What the fuck!? Again another player that hasnt played in a 3-4 yet we sign him and expect him to play there.

He's still a good player, highly motivated and good work ethic. I'll take him over lots of players any day for us, even though he hasn't played in a 3-4 yet.

Starting to get the feeling that the Falcons aren't planning on giving new deals to Dahl/Clabo. Blalock might get a deal if he doesn't ask for much. I think we've got some younger guys Dimitroff has drafted in the later rounds ready to step in.

Maybe then they can focus on bringing in a DE + CB...

Dolphins and Saints agree on a deal to send Reggie Bush to the Phins. All dependent on Reggie taking a pay cut with Miami.

 

[BroncoBlue]

According to the Denver Post, a Kyle Orton trade was no longer "imminent" as of late Wednesday night.

Orton attended morning and evening meetings at Broncos headquarters, and the team expects him back for the first training camp workout Thursday. The Miami Herald is reporting that Orton's camp is still in talks with multiple teams and that a trade would involve "many moving parts." Orton will restructure his contract as part of a deal, so he does have some say in his landing spot.

You guys realize that the Dolphins are going to convert bush to a wr right?

When you convert him from a rb to a wr in Madden he goes from a 78 ovr to a 92 ovr.

Why don't you think before you post stuff that makes you look stupid

 

[Rayman]

That's a better fit for Detroit than Barnett would have been.

That defense is starting to scare me.

Haynesworth to the Pats for a 2013 draft pick (so says ESPN at 6:30am so this may just be a bunch of shit)

 

[Rayman]

I don't think we should have given up on Suisham. He might very well be the next David Akers, who played a game or two for Washington before going to Philly.

Suisham fucked up, not once, but twice, for both the Cowboys AND the Redskins - I don't see it happening.

It's legit.

Wasn't that girl he was fucking behind Kim's back from Miami?
