Reporter: So Alex, what do you think of the Redskins’ moves in free agency so far?
ASmith: [crickets]
“Well, clealry, we’re going to have to score a lot of points – not sure with who yet, though, since they let Grant walk. Fuck, I’ll be lucky not to be Theismanned since they let Long walk. And, then there’s no one on defense. Shit, everyone left. God damn, not sure they’ll even be able to field 11 players.”
I only chose Washington because of Niles Paul!
I’m shocked that nobody is rushing to sign the guy who couldn’t beat out Andy Dalton
I;m sure McCarron has beaten it a few times.
or Tony just has the media guy tweet it out
Lions release Eric Enbron
Interesting
Ended the season last year really well. Last 7 games.
Reed insurance
Yeah, I wouldn’t mind kicking the tire on him. Although he would likely be behind at least Reed and Davis.
Probably wouldn’t have much interest in being a third TE.
Soon as we get the press release of the Smith trade we will let you know… ๐
do they Fax it to you?
LOL
Nope, usually Tony sends us an email.
What’s email?
-millenial
Really? Doesn’t just post it on Facebook??
No, Facebook’s how I talk with former beat writers.
We’re trading for Smith?

Report: Bengals, Raiders Talking About A Trade For Vontaze Burfict
Free Agency just started! Now we can start making moves.
-Flounder
Yep.
Good sport.
Nobody called……….sniffle………….well, it’s a brand new year!, I’ll just plug this charger in…- Griffin
Tried to call his agent.
Found out his agent changed his phone number.
IโM CALLING!!!!!!! – dc
You better not. I took out that restraining order!
-RGIII
Be careful where you place that “charger”, Robert. May end up with baby mama number 3.
Fax Machines, actually getting some use.
Some poor intern has been having to sit there all week trying to learn how to use the damn thing. Keeps picking up the phone attached to it every time someone calls in.

Source: Oakland Raiders are working to trade for Cincinnati Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict.
Bengals just signed Burfict to a 3 year $38 mill extension last season.
Raiders don’t get enough stupid personal fouls, I guess
I’d like to resign Junior
He may be looking around realizing that he’s not getting the big pay day he hoped for.
1.5 sacks since 2014 will do that
Not to mention, his rep from back in NO.
He had 3 sacks last year.
He said he wanted more snaps. Nothing on the roster has changed that would get him more snaps.
Now sure, money can solve that. Guess we’ll find out.
If he wants more snaps, he should do more with the one’s he’s getting.
‘Kendall Fuller fails physical’
He missed the cup
LOL!
But he may have done it intentionally, no one likes the guys who collect that stuff.
Not even the guys that collect that stuff.
Zero glory in that job. None.

Been swamped all day. Is it still just Richardson for us? I see Murphy is headed to the Bills, Paul to the Jags.
Niles Paul?
Yea
Yep, but we re-signed Quick…
T minus 60 seconds
I think youโre being coy
Smith is better than Murphy sorry but saying otherwise is stupid.
Brian Quick? What? Are they crazy??? What the what! I can’t believe that!! That’s it, man. Game over, man. Game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?
‘Why don’t we put her in charge?!?’

Bottle of wine here, ready to unscrew the top
I was at a friends bar drinking Saki on Sunday. Rice wine, good stuff.
Tasty
Warm saki = very nice buzz.
I’m a cold saki person. Our friend works at this pop up bar over by Howard they change themes and decorations every 2 or 3 months, right now they are doing a japan thing for the cherry blossoms, which is cool I guess.
er…….I have 6, here.
I’d sign Suh if he weren’t so damned expensive. Guy just gets bored with poor defensive scheme, give him actual work, he’ll do it. Just my opinion.
It will be interesting to see what the market is for him.
https://twitter.com/mikegarafolo/status/974006988299530241?s=21
Lucky bastard, good for him.
Niles Paul was just a groomsmen in Robert Griffin’s wedding.
Robert Griffin was a stunt double in Sister Act
with the running based offense they have, RG3 prob could play there in Jax, … so long as he didn’t run
yes. i imagine he was grooming his beard. that thing is tight.
Quick? Not a bad depth signing, we didn’t use him enough last year.
Suh released
I’d not touch that with a 10 foot poll
here, he’d probably play DE
Yeah Probably not a good fit in a 3-4 anyway.
Suh-Vea-Allen? Could be interesting.
or pole.
or pool
Poop, FYI….its a barpole
He’s still going to command more than what I think the Skins currently have available $$$
What about Brian Quick, maybe he re-signs with us?
Done
What about Gallette

In my day, if you were politically active when still in high school there was no hash tagging to make it popular, you did it on your own, and people either noticed and followed you or they didn’t. In most cases they didn’t.
And there were repercussions from school administrators who operated by their own set of rules. Camera phones, social media, didn’t exist.
Never once had any real repercussions for any of it. Well the PE teacher didn’t like me going head to head with him in a surprise debate on the drug war. And he REALLY didn’t like it when I had documents backing up my arguments.
But in the end, he got caught having an affair with a student, so I won that debate in a larger sense.
it’s really all contained in “just be nice.” all the rest is details.

Start of new league year
Gotcha
Any scuttlebut that youโre hearing
Actual free agency.
it’s really lost it’s pzazz
I’m thinking they will reform it in some way, so the free tampering time could be more constructively used for what it was meant for, not just an extension of FA. probably severe penalties for even having an MOU in place. maybe not.
Only thing I could see would be allowing agents to talk but not allowing players to take visits yet.
Department of Citrus employee arrested when caught mining for cryptocurrency
so he spent $24K on equipment to do the mining and raised the electric bill over $800/month to mine Bitcoin and Litecoin
he’s in jail now… awaiting bond
I belive the trend is something like, in 5 years, (if it keeps up at this rate) all the electricity capacity in the world would be required just to mine cryptocurrency.
I read in Iceland more power capacity is used for mining cryptocurrency than used for business/home use
don’t people see that this would be no different than if, say, you got coins you could use to buy something by reaching goals on World of Warcraft? only then you’d have done something
Now, if you got one running and did it all off solar power, you’re good to go.
Works at the Department of Citrus?
Should have just shorted the sale of Oranges on the stock exchange.
Crop Report! Beaks!
Couldn’t get a hold of Beeks
so the top 5 paid QBs in the NFL have won like 0 playoff games
TBF, this isn’t new. For years the top paid QB in the NFL were names like Jamarcus Russell and Sam Bradford.
The rookie wage scale was one of the best things the league has done in recent years.
absolutely.
saved the Cowboys from having to cut half the team after Romo retired
No doubt. just saying, what guys get paid has rarely matched success.
also, I bring this point up because there are SO MANY people who see the correlation to rookie QB contracts and lack of success with large contract QBs that I think they fail to see the actual problem. when a team has success, EVERYONE, not just the QB, wants to get paid. so I’d be careful about QB contracts and correlations with the way the CBA is right now. additionally, at some point if you won a SB got paid, and roll into the last third of your career, you’re willing to take a little less to finish out your career for another run. that’s human nature. Rodgers is prob going to have a monster 3 year contract, but then he’ll prob play the last couple years on a more modest one, as example
remember rookie hold-outs? wtf?
generally, except for brees and brady, the highest-paid qbs are the one most recently signed.
Well this may be a good turn of events for us. Hope it’s right.

PSmith…too inconsistent. Even with help, never dominant. Spends more time disappearing than anything else.
Compared to the all pro Murphy
They have different playing styles. Personally I like guys like Murphy a bit more, less explosive rushes but a little more solid in the run game.
They are about the same kind of player, not quite great edge players, but both are in the top 64 in the NFL, and that’s good enough to be called a starter.
My big issue with smith is when I watched him at training camp he was phoning it in a bit too often.
kids are always on their phones these days.
Not all of them. Vigil was impressive.
Vigil had a much higher hill to climb
Yes, he’s gonna be a Ryan Grant type I bet. Impresses in practice, coaches will like him for that.
My issue with Murphy is he missed a bunch of games last year.
So did half the team.
Canโt be true
Doesnโt fit the narrative
49ers loading up
money to burn
looks good on paper
Zactly. We’ll see what happens when they play some actual games, and ones that that actually mean something.
Still, they do look like they’re going in the right direction.
Whoโd they sign now
To my point earlier
Had the redskins signed him to this deal folks would be losing it
Only because…we don’t have the cap loot to be throwing around like that. The outrage would be based on lousy cap management.
That kind of deal, sure.But if they had extended him a year earlier, safe bet is it wouldn’t have been that kind of money
If my aunt had balls defense
It would be risky, no doubt. He’s one wrong pill away from a year suspension.
Wait what….Murphy’s deal is 3 yr for $30m?
https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/973993776908816384
Probably includes incentives and Rapoport is the least trustworthy when it comes to the numbers.
Base $21m with an additional $9m in incentives…I’d have let him go for sure.
That’s a pretty good defense he’s going too. Dress warm .
He’s a big boy, he will frolic in that snow.

Not a damn thing to do there in winter that isn’t digging out or staying in and getting some.
‘Up to’, so we’ll see what the signing bonus and guarantee are.

He’s a far sight better than either of the McDoosh brothers .
Someone needs to tell Junior that he’s gonna be 30, and the NFL works like Logans Run.
Carousel for him!
damn… with all these players being poached, you’d think we were a good team or something.
Not anymore we aren’t
Like I said before, 2014 was probably one of this teams best draft classes in a decade. Maybe no blue-chip talent, but we got more quality players than we ever seem to.
…and now they’re almost all gone
Our plan is not to be hurt next year and we are right there!
Every team’s plan is to not be hurt. Good teams can overcome that.
Heck, Philly just won the SB after their potential MVP QB got hurt. Good teams don’t fall apart when injuries happen.
Unless they lose about half their starters
There is a limit to how much attrition a team can face, obviously. We had 20 of our guys hurt, and you only have 45 active players to begin with.
The extent of the injuries we had was devastating
Donโt act like it wasnโt
Weak ass shit on your part
It was severe. But can it explain a lack of effort on the players that aren’t hurt? That SD seemed like they were half-assing it.
Poor coaching? I think the NO loss was in part due to that.
Yeah, injuries played a part of many losses, but I don’t think it was the main reason for them.
Go get a snickers
They lost more starters than almost any other team in the NFL
No, many teams actually don’t plan well to not be hurt. Scott Frost used Chip Kelly’s methods to explain this (in a recent press conference). Say what you want about Kelly, but he had some of the lowest (or actually the lowest) injury rates at both Oregon and Philly. And that is in part how they train.
they were a good team
but regardless of cause, the injuries turned the good team into a mediocre one
Should have money for Gallette now
He hasn’t impressed me that much. I’d rather they kept Murph.
That’s the near unanimous consensus.
Not an option now
https://twitter.com/JPFinlayNBCS/status/973997182847279104
Canโt pay non starters starting money
Breeland = starter.
And he doesn’t have any ankles left….
Smart that they will make him a DE. Skins should have stuck with that plan from the get-go
Bills play a 4-3, so you betcha.
Knowing that you have PSmith coming up on needing an extension and that of RKerrigan PSmith and Murphy, that is the order of effectiveness
You canโt give Murphy starting money
Murphy generated awfully similar production as Smith.
And was getting it done without the assist of Allen and The Greek.

R2: Smith – Quality Starter
2016:
R1: Docston – Meh. Verdict still out.
R2: Suzy – Quitter
2017:
R1: Jon Allen – Great, but injured
R2: Anderson – Unimpressive so far

Can’t have that type of craptacular performance and expect to compete.
wow… that’s ugly.
how does that compare to other teams?
Don’t know. But, excluding the RGIII trade, probably better.
Rg trade continues to haunt us
Many here had said that the 2014 draft class was one of the best the Skins had in the last ten seasons. It’s a shame we didn’t hold onto more.
https://twitter.com/JPFinlayNBCS/status/973993910757404673
Part of that “build through the draft” thing includes retaining the players you draft and develop. smh
the core ones
can’t keep them all. in fact the better you do the more impossible it is
Well right now I don’t really know if we have a great core.
Part of the whole retaining guys equation, you need to start making offers, and bringing these guys into the fold in year 3 of their deals. You probably could have offered Murphy something like a 3 year deal for 2-3 million after he got hurt, and still kept him. A show of good faith.
Agreed, and if you don’t have them in your plans you trade them while there’s value. Draft capital really counts.
Bring back Vinny!

Feces
They weren’t even in the conversation I didn’t think?
That’s a shocker.
Ante upped, I’d say.
Seems like he had a pretty strong market.
That’s fitting
Three years, $21 million.
I had counted the Skins, NO, NE, IND, SF, and GB. Today out came interest from the Bucs and now he’s signed with the Bills.
So maybe, there actually was 10 teams ringing his phone.
The Redskins would be wise to see what it’d take to pry Bryce Callahan away from Chicago to be our slot CB. They tendered him, but it was the low tender that doesn’t come with a draft pick.
which means Chicago just has rights of first refusal, like a low value transition tag?
Yes
just keep adding $1 until they break
him, DRC, TJ Carrie all lower cost slot CB options
https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/973988726320791552
Would’ve been a quality addition here.
Glad to see him leave Philly

Got love being a Browns fan Joe Thomas retires AFTER Giants sign Solder
they might have been shopping him to a contender(s), and failing that, he decided he wasn’t all in on another lost year

What was it with so many young QB’s back then having to change offenses every year?
We did the exact same thing to JC17, exact same draft.
Reid and Gruden run a lot of the same concepts so he won’t have a huge learning curve here
True, Reid comes from the Holmgren tree when he and Jon Gruden coached together in Green Bay, Jay worked under his brother for a few years.
Some of those basic WC offensive ideas are in there for both of them.

And nowww….
Cap is flexible. But, you have to draft very well if you’re going to push the cap.
If you push the cap, bad things happen.
Like having to dump a shit-ton of role players in order to keep that one guy from getting away in FA.
Or, you make a trade in season on a guy with a year left and want to lock him down on LTD.
Or you get wrecked by injuries and use up what might have rolled over into next season just to get enough bodies to field a team.
Again because you might not understand
Romo counts 9 million against it
Itโs easily manipulated
Here’s what you’re not doing…
thinking about what they’d be doing with that $9 million if they hadn’t been reckless to begin with. They cost themselves.

Dallas is -1.7 million in cap space bro. Eagles are -6.7 million
________________________
This makes me want to throw up a little, but the Patties get away with it for two reasons:
1. They have drafted extremely well, including having a fourth round QB salary (so while they had to eat the hit from Romo’s release, they could absorb it).
2. Rod Marinelli. Defense doesn’t have a lot of stars, but it is EXTREMELY well coached.
Here is how bull crap the cap is
Romo counts 9 million against their cap this year
We need to be aggressive
That makes me smile a little
Cowboys have less holes that we do (and their holes are on D, which Marinelli covers up).
I agree, we need to be aggressive. I’m tired of the medicrity (which is far better than the stretch before the medicrity). Reality is that our drafts haven’t been great under SM.
at the end of the season, both Prescott and Elliott will be eligible for contracts
And what???
Do you really think that they wonโt resign in Dallas
The cap is crap
The two of them could easily end up being close to 40 million in cap space
Yes, they will sign in Dallas. But, Dallas won’t be able to sign other players (either their own or from other teams). They will ahve to continue to draft extremely well to have their replacements on Rookie contracts.
Why isn’t anyone talking about me?

Newly released #AZCardinals CB Tyrann Mathieu messaged me: “I’m ready for the new challenge! Ready to take my spot as top DB. Fresh starts are good!”
He would need to be a day one starter. Skins have Nicholson and Swearinger. Not coming to DC. Need isn’t there.
Bullock and Finlay think it makes tons of sense.
I don’t see it, but they know a lot more than I do.
can he still return kicks and punts?
Jeff Sessions considering firing Andy McCabe
If he get’s fired before Friday he doesn’t qualify for his pension…
I thought he quit a month ago
I don’t make the news… just regurgitate it
So he did announce his retirement for Sunday… tryna get that pension. Sessions might slap it out of his hand.
So basically if he does it, he is doing it to be a dick?
Payback
https://nypost.com/2018/01/29/andrew-mccabe-steps-down-as-deputy-fbi-director/

No? Shocked, I tell you, shocked.

He’s trying out for safety
Giants had 11 million coming in to FA…they already agreed to terms with Nate Solder. There is no way they can afford Honey Badger.
Restructure Eli for another ten years.
vet min + signing bonus
here’s hoping the giants roll with manning for many years to come.
they’re drafting Rosen
They’ll have to have some corresponding moves to get under the cap before they can actually sign Solder.
I think they released several OL
The cap is made for adjustments
We need to make some
seriously,
remember those “cowboys will be in cap hell” predictions 2-3 years ago? what the hell happened?
Dallas is -1.7 million in cap space bro. Eagles are -6.7 million
we’ll see how they both circumvent that.
Eagles just signed a guy for 40 million

Jets have a ton of money. With Bowles, I would think that that’s his top landing spot.

That’s the other Cromartie.
Still had to help… it takes a village
As was previously reported, bith side are interested; its an issue of $$$.
N?ot losing sleep if he doesn’t sign with the Skins. He’s a good rotational/back-up at this point.
Cards might be interested now?
“taking” more visits? like he’s not hosting more visitors?
anyway, on the face of it, seems like he enjoyed his visit here.
Mathieu was due $14m from the Cards this year. That’s the money he’s looking for. Although, his base was $5m…so who knows.
He’s not getting anywhere close to $14mm from any team.
I dunno…maybe

True, dat.
I think he will get a bundle. He just didn’t fit new AR coach. Too much $ for new scheme

Their Plan A is for Saquan Barkely to fall to them at 13. Always has been. Happened last year with Jon Allen, so it will inevitably happen this year with Barkely.
good plan .
See, BA is very, very smart.
can’t burn a 1st round pick on a back who’s only going to get 10-12 touches a game

There are enough good rb’s in draft. Several should be available at 44. Doesn’t make sense to pay a lot for FARB. I think we would rather spend $ in the trenches.

This one would make a ton of sense for the #Redskins, could play nickel to replace Fuller and play FS in base if Nicholson has any more injury troubles.
JP and Grant mentioned Navaaro Bowman as an option. He grew up in this area. He’s still good. I’d be down with that.

With DB Tyrann Mathieu on the market, both New York teams bear watching, given that they employ the two defensive coordinators he’s played under as a pro … Todd Bowles with the Jets, James Bettcher with the Giants.

The #AZCardinals are releasing versatile DB Tyrann Mathieu, source said. They tried to redo his deal but it wasnโt to be. Keep an eye on the #Giants and his former defensive coordinator.
I would like to grab him.
I bet you would….
I heard that about you.
how the fuck can the Giants sign anyone? I don’t get it. They blew their load in 2016 offseason.
improve the OL/DL and everything else will fall into place. Would LOVE Richardson and a guard. That said, I think for once we under valued some of these backend guys. Most thought Murph would be an easy re-sign. Same for Grant and Junior. I figured Breeland would leave for the loot, granted it wasn’t nearly as much as I thought he would get (closer to home maybe?).
Just need to focus on OL/DL, stay healthy and lets see what happens….
Good thing I’m not one of those, “toldya so” guys. ๐
Other teams get a chance to sign them also, you can;t pay everyone nor should you.
Re: Bree, I think his Tweet yesterday said that he was looking forward to being the leader, the go-to guy. Wasn’t going to happen with Norman.
He hasn’t been right since Norman got here.
Fragile ego
Yeah he even admitted it in an interview.
had not heard that. sad.
edited to add:
“sad” for the redskins,. not him.
Kirk-ish.
Another difficult move is to identify guys you will not re-up well before they’re UFA’s and trade ’em for draft equity. It all starts with consistently drafting well, and having the position coaches to develop them. And of course a GM with the gravitas to do it.

Gotta make cap space to sign Sam Bradford and Mike Glennohahahahaahha
I think we would have liked to keep all the guys we lost. But if we did, we’d have 0 cap space right now. So we’d be basically trotting the same team out there plus whoever we draft. Anyone know where we stand with cap space? I’m guessing its between 20-30 million right now.
12
but that includes the recent re-signings, Richardson, an est of Smith’s deal, and the draft allotment est; within the context of top 51 contracts
We only got 12 left? That can’t be right.
it will be easier to say when we see the deets on the Smith deal, firstly, the signing bonus
Folks are funny
Certain guys would complain no matter what the team did
If we kept RGRANT they would be losing their stuff
He walks
They lose their stuff anyway
Not sure anyone is losing their stuff over Ryan Grant leaving. I would like to have kept him… but not at the price he got.
Agree. Also fine with Long walking. Mostly concerned with Murphy, Fuller (though that is water under the bridge and I was and am completely fine with the trade), Breeland and Gallete.
Did Gallete leave yet?
No….
He’s at the local tattoo artist shop
You get the point
he was always a guy i expected to “break out” at any time. coaches always raved about his practices and route-running and blah, blah, blah. we saw flashes in games i guess, but never anything like what coaches raved about.
All I’ve seen is everyone eyes pop when they saw the offer. Have seen any shit losing.
Mostly, people’s reactions are influenced by the dollars. If we had kept Grant on the cheap, we’d kid about him being Gruden’s son…but, no freaking would happen. I think.

there was some stat from a year or 2 ago about how the packers had something like 95% of their roster was players they drafted. incredible. that’s the model i want to follow. i suppose the obvious caveat that you have to draft well and re-sign well.
Somehow, in these times, you have to maintain plenty of cap space if you are developing quality players… because they be expensive to resign

Hawaiian religion is polytheistic, with four deities most prominent: Kฤne, Kลซ, Lono and Kanaloa.[5] Other notable deities include Laka, Kihawahine, Haumea, Papahฤnaumoku, and, most famously, Pele.[5] In addition, each family is considered to have one or more guardian spirits known as สปaumakua that protected family.[5]
One breakdown of the Hawaiian pantheon[6] consists of the following groups:
the four gods (ka hฤ) โ Kลซ, Kฤne, Lono, Kanaloa
the forty male gods or aspects of Kฤne (ke kanahฤ)
the four hundred gods and goddesses (ka lau)
the great multitude of gods and goddesses (ke kini akua)
the spirits (na สปunihipili)
the guardians (na สปaumฤkua)
Another breakdown[7] consists of three major groups:

guardian spirits, สปaumakua, associated with particular families

must not have been at combine, but did this at OK pro day
BOTTOM LINE Badet is a better athlete than receiver and Oklahoma made attempts to get him involved with sweeps and run-after-catch plays. Badet has kick return experience but isn’t considered a game-breaker in that area. Badet could test well and get the attention of NFL teams, but his tape doesn’t offer enough.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2018/profiles/jeff-badet?id=2560038
so he must not have good hands
Or have a clue about route running
“… has feet for hands.”
When your last name is shared by a froo-frooy Euro butt cleaning device, you need to be fast.
Can he return punts?!?
Yes
Then he’s my boy.
108 receptions, 1,785 yards, 16.5 yds/rec, 10 TDs. Only averaged 27 receptions per season in 4 years. 3 years at Kentucky, transferred to OK for his senior year.
Yes but good speed. Wouldn’t be upset if they took a flyer on him as an UDFA. We could use some speed like that on Special Teams, not just as a returner but on coverage.
I don’t know. I’ve never heard of him and haven’t seen 1 second of his play that I remember.
Any time I see a 4.2-4.3 in a 40 I’m at least wanting to kick the tires.

Body on the roster. Really just need to replace whatever production/play time he got.
Mo Harris
Mo Harris > TPryor
I’d love it if true.

Robert Davis and he’s already here
Yes or him.
Richardson isn’t the same type of player as grant. That kid from SMU is, but he’s much bigger, but I don’t know he’s a 2nd round type WR.
Richardson is a speed guy who can get over the top of the defense.
I don’t care about type of player stuff as much as I do, production potential.
I think Richardson will have as many catches as Grant would, 40ish, with more yards.
I think he goes higher than that with Smith in Jay’s offense.
Maybe. I like the concept, I think he’s got a higher floor than most his detractors.

So, in FA we gotta sign a decent ILB, an OLB (because we’re likely losing two decent/good ones), and at least one starting caliber CB, plus make implrovements to the DL. A lotta work to do there.
There is the draft also.
Meh. So does everyone else. Just looking to try to keep even going into the draft. We’re also down a third rounder.
We can trade down a few spots and recover that.
looking more and more like 1st round RB is a real possibility
I’m still saying BDPA in first, rb in 2nd, unless QNelson drops to us
I’m not making a suggestion.
Though, the RB run prob starts with the 2nd one taken.
It called FA’s for a reason you can’t keep everyone and people leave to other teams for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes teams have more money then you or the player might like the city or area better.
False, no one really wants to live in Detroit.
i understand you can get a huge house for cheap, there.
That’s true, you get a 7th round rookie deal and you can buy a whole city block with no issue.

April 6th
Memphis pro day
When the defense is better next year then this past year I will remind you of today.
As long as half the team isn’t down with injuries it should be better.
But you don’t get better by letting guys like Murphy, Breeland, and Fuller go while keeping guys like McGee, McClain, and Hood.
Well we didn’t let Fuller go we traded him for a QB that if we don’t have we would suck. Breeland is an OK corner who has issues with the coaching staff and Murphy is solid but not even a starter. You can’t keep everyone no team does.
This. Letting good, even if not great, youg home grown talent go is never a recipe for success. You develop a sense of “team” by keeping good players together for a period of time.
Yep, those 3 are good red chip talent. While the others are just warm bodies.

Beware when boating on the Braden River, an aggressive otter has attacked several boaters

evidently very fast, good first move and excellent take down ability
we may want to sign him
Hey… he wasn’t on a bad defense last year so he’s got to be a hall of famer
Who did he play for…the Bucs?
That’s very unusual, for an otter. But being a mammal, could have rabies.
yes the people attacked are having to get anti-rabies shots
Absolutely. Fortunately, today’s treatment isn’t nearly as horrific as ~25 years ago. ‘Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin”.

I think Grant’s is 40 for 4 yr, and PR is 40 for 5 yr
i think jay will do fine with the offense. not really worried there. defense is worrying me. got a lot of new holes to fill on an already holey defense.
Well keeping players from a bad defense is not really smart.
What you should do, figure out your 5-10 best defensive players, keep them and then try and find guys with more talent to push the whole roster up.
Yes because keeping guys your losing with is not the answer.
By that logic you would trade away Kerrigan, Ionnidas, Norman.
They are actually good
Nope they are the guys you are losing with. So by your rules, worthless.
But they can’t be good, because they were on a bad defense = your logic.
No that is your dumb logic my point is losing some guys from a bad defense who aren’t that good is not a big deal as long as you replace them with guys you like.
The guys we are losing are not that good anyways.
LOFL, flounder, at you.

Bon voyage!
squinns,
i’ll give him “passion”. but i’d say the only reason i, and others here, are not pleased is also passion. people who don;t care would not be here.
So the philosophy would be to keep everyone from a terrible defense and what hope they get better?
Keep the guys that work hard and show promise… not the ones that take of roster/cap space and contribute virtually nothing
jeez… dude. who is saying anything like that?!?! how about “keep the good players and replace the bad”? you’re a cartoon.
They looked promising before the injury plague hit.
I’d say that Bree, Fuller and Murphy were top 5-10 defensive players.
I’m not sure guys like Fuller, Breeland, and Murphy were the problem…
We seem to be keeping guys that were DEFINITELY part of the problem. I’m hoping the McTwins get cut…
Zach Brown was/is part of the solution.
Dolla billz yo
I get it… situations do not exist in a vacuum.
Boiling situations do……ARE WE NOT BOILING?!!!
Jay can scheme around anyone. It may not be a top 5 offense, but he can at least have you in the middle of the pack at the worst.
Guy calling in to Grant and Danny. “I don’t like the Paul Richardson deal”
They ask him “what player would you rather them have got?”

Ravensโ free-agent C Ryan Jensenโs agent, Mike McCartney, said his client is planning on visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then the Indianapolis Colts.
Long was replaced by a younger, cheaper and better in house option. Breeland will be replaced by Dunbar who is arguable better and cheaper. They also have Moreaou and Holsley who can step up. Fuller was not great but we need a QB and that was the cost.
Dunbar is cheaper, not sure about better.
yes, and, oatmeal-raisin cookies are better than chocolate chip.
on what planet and in what dimension?

You think Long or Breeland were chocolate Chip cookies that’s laughable
All in on snickerdoodles

Whew… I was worried about your mental stability… I mean more than normal
but what does that say about Flounder
Just nuts.
Now an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips, that’s the game changer.
We’re hoping that two unproven CBs can replace two proven ones, and we still have to had at least two CBs for depth.
Dunbar is not unproven and he will replace one. Breeland was proven to be not very good since we signed Norman he was OK but not a number 1 CB and apparently has issues with the coaching staff.
Breeland had one subpar year and that was in 2016. Dunbar has started what, 5 games?
That’s how you replace veterans. Train up younger players, then play them some, them use them as starters if they prove capable

Patriots Also In The Mix For Redskins OLB Trent Murphy http://bit.ly/2p881Xe #Patriots
Maybe they are gonna get both Brown and Gallete to sign. Hence letting the guys go that we did?
As far as I know our defense sucked ass last year according to most so losing players from it is not really a bad thing. Maybe we need some new players to make the D better.
What we need is not new players, but BETTER players. Replacing a decent player with a less talented one just for the sake of change isn’t a recipe for success.
Right so maybe we get better players then the ones we let go this year.
We still have the rest of FA’s and the draft yet to go.
Stranger things have happened.
People are acting like were letting HOF’mers go I mean what have we ever won with any of them.
Not one single person is acting like that.
Not
One
People acted like that when they traded Fuller.
Typically guys signed in the second wave of FA are better than the ones signed in the first wave… so sure, why not?
Depends on what your looking for and some guys hold out for better contracts. I would say Poe and Richardson are better than any D-lIne guy signed so far.
I would still consider the opening day of FA to be the first wave
So today at 4PM right?
I would consider most of this week the first wave.
Yeah
https://twitter.com/AlGaldi/status/973939046891257859
This does make sense how things played out.

Valid, but it doesn’t account for the players we tried and failed to sign/extend before FA.
Right which is why then ones they let go might not have been wanted for different reason.

Only 1 fan seems to think they earned it and I can’t see by what measure he’s feeling that way? Baffling!

Buccaneers Among Teams In The Mix For Redskins OLB Trent Murphy http://bit.ly/2GsWYPI
Bucs are already adding Beau Allen from Philly
So he is not gone yet.
No one’s interested in Murphy, according to our aquatic poster.
Solder is on the wrong side of 30
Love’m or don’t give a damn about’em…
We’re sitting here watching us lose starters.
That looks better
teams lose starters to free agency and retirement, etc… all the time. good team replace and don’t miss a beat. let’s do that.
We don’t have enough picks in the draft we need to sign some guys whether today tomorrow or in 2 weeks we got holes to fill…..

Giants had to get Solder after losing on Norwell. I still think they add Nelson at 2 also.
StrikeKing spinner bait, there….
Saquon running behind Solder and Nelson? Egad.
They can’t get Nelson and Barkley
Dammit, man, why aren’t you in our front office?
Griggin Gnats scoring Solder. Argghhhhh…..
“You can push old people down a flight of stairs, but as soon as you shoot them, it’s murder”.
I wouldn’t feel as bad if we had say…..11 or 12 picks in this draft coming up. But we only have 7 and only 2 early picks. So we need to be a little more active in FA I’d say.
Right and since FA’s is over and there are no players left we are done in FA’s.
You do have a point that its not over, but a lot of the best or better FA have already committed to contracts. You have to acknowledge that point.
Yes and when we signed all the top FA’s people cried like bitches about that so make up your mind.
I’ve always been a sign FA guy. Always… I love getting new players in here. This seems like a year we need to do it.
There’s always a secondary market after the big names sign. Maybe that’s what they’re waiting for.
Seems like our MO
And it has worked so well.
Hey… the McTwins and Ziggy have been dominant for our D Line right?
I’m still waiting on that whole ‘aggressive’ in free agency thing to kick in.
It stunk like bullshit when it came out last week. But hey, I’m a benefit of the doubt kind of guy. So with all this homespun talent being plucked away…the FO can get ‘aggressive’ at any time now.
Also waiting for “signing their own” to kick in….
Yeah because people loved that.
Confirmed… Flounder is a homer.
Confirmed Flounder is a realist is BA going anywhere? No so why make a big deal about it.
You are far from a realist. You’ve never even been close
Blah Blah give them until the end of the draft at least before we give up on the season.
The draft classes to count on for this season are ’13 – ’17. Which is scamps point.
Yes and teams lose home grown players every year otherwise FA’s would be kind of useless.
Some teams cash ’em in for draft capital before they leave. Some develop and retain most. Nobody can keep them all of course.
If our organization were top shelf, we’d do that too. Instead, we have what we have and one fan is happy enough with that. All the rest of us are wrong. Now quit picking on him before he takes his ball and goes home.
See… this proves you are far from a realist. Somehow in your mind being disappointed in not coaching up our own draft picks = giving up on the season. That’s not reality… that’s shrill whininess
Maybe the coaches don’t Like those players and would rather have new players you think the coaches aren’t the ones telling them who to sign and not sign.
“Confirmed Flounder is a realist”
——————-
that’s hilarious. you’re apparently a comedian, not a realist.
The reality is that the Redskins FO is NEVER WRONG!! Hence all the winning!
It’s wrong all the time but crying about it relentlessly everyday is a waste of time but feel free.
You mean like you do about Trump?
Show me the last time I posted anything about our racist pathetic President.
Just then
Flounder โข a few seconds ago
Really where?
“our racist pathetic President.”
…but he’s not going anywhere so why cry about it?
-Flounder logic
Forget about crying relentlessly; you never even entertain the thought that the FO might have made a bad decision.
So, confirmed flounder, and flounder, are the same guy?
I found his source…
https://im-01.gifer.com/47Di.gif
So a June 1 designation on McClain saves how much vrs. the current $7M dead?
It saves zero. It’s still the same size loss; it just divides the loss between 2018 and 2019 instead of applying all of it in 2018.
Gotcha, thanks. So it would actually net ~$700K for 2018.
McClain’s $4.6M would come off the books this year, and $3.5M in dead money is added this year and next, so this year, they’d save roughly $1.1M but next year’s $3.5M hit would be very large in terms of dead money. It’d be a “we want McClain gone” move and not a “we want to clear cap space” move, particularly since they’re still doing okay cap-wise right now.
That’s as a post-June 1 cut. If they cut him pre-June 1, the $4.6M would come off the cap and $7M would be added to dead money this year, but next year would be clear.
Ah, so it’s not an ‘either/or’ thing when looking at ‘cap hit’ and ‘dead money’ for a particular year. Interesting.
Dead money is “dead” because it has already been spent in the past, ie as a signing bonus when we first sign a player. It still has to be allocated over the years that the player is covered by that contract.
So… not valuing our own players:
Grant, Breeland, Fuller, Murphy, Long, Kirk…
Nothing to see here.
-Flounder
Well considering FA’s and the draft are over and this is the roster we will start the season with yes nothing to see here.
LOL
lmao
yeah that is a lot of dudes we drafted. But if they go out and get a lot more money elsewhere then we can’t outbid everyone. Kinda how the NFL is now.
Lotta wasted draft picks indeed
*sigh*, yup.
There’s no way they should’ve matched Grant’s $29M contract.
Agreed… but that’s six draft picks in one season gone… some rebuild. We will stay in that mode forever with this type of management
Stop whining, our FO is average! They got this.
it feels like a monty python skit is coming on:
ok… but besides, cousins, fuller, breeland, murphy, grant, long and aqueducts, what home-grown talent have we ever lost?
This is all just this season
Why would Murphy put out a tweet like he did if he was staying?
Well if he was leaving the signing would have been announced unless the Redskins told him they don;t want him and he is waiting for another team.
Right either way he’s gone. Whether today or next week. That tweet means he won’t be playing for the Washington Redskins in 2018.
So… home grown talent lost already: Spencer Long, Trent Murphy, Baushaud Breeland…
Anyone else?
Kirk obviously
Grant (lose use of word talent)
Fuller
Yeppers
Yep
Murphy is not confirmed
All teams loose home grown talent or there would be no FA’s.
Let them loose! Or lose them forever!
Sure… but we really don’t seem to value our own. Always been a problem in my mind
In Bruce we trust!
Breeland had issues with coaching staff and wasn’t great, Long is a jag at guard and Murphy was OK but nothing special.
everything’s fine. trust in bruce. i think that’s going to be on the new $20. (when is that supposed to come out, btw?)
It’s btg, btw
I don’t trust in Bruce at all…
well… why would you?
I’m being sarcastic. Only one up here has unending trust it seems, despite the abysmal track record.
It’s not trust it’s reality since he is here and guess what we can’t make him leave so why cry about it every day.
glossing over BA’s ineptitude isn’t reality either.
Whining about it constantly is annoying and lame so have fun.
You know the saying “trust but verify”.
When it comes to the Skins, it’s “Don’t trust and pick through that shit with a fine tooth comb”
Grant
The same Grant people have been crying to get rid of for years.
https://twitter.com/HogsHaven/status/973934075709968384
why didn’t we do that? 8m per year…reasonable
He probably would rather stay where he was for the same money.
true
That’s the ‘free’ part of UFA. Would have loved to have him but o well.
We def getting some compensatory picks
Lmmfwao- Mara
Maybe so…but it depends on who we sign. It’s a secret formula.
Like Bush’s baked beans?
Dr. Pepper
Rollllllll that beautiful bean footage
I see nothing about Murphy anywhere and with how quick these signing are announced I would hold off believing he is gone.
it’s going to be great when we replace all these guys with well-chosen draft picks! can’t wait.
Another one who is giving up on the season
wtf are you talking about? not giving up. it’s simply low expectations. high hopes. anything else is not reasonable.
Again joking about the season man. I am actually quite optimistic about the team especially on Offense. Defense I worry a bit.

Yup gonna draft Barkley and we won’t be able to stop the run.

20 hours ago that is like a lifetime in FA’s.
Noone, any updates from you contact? Any updates on Sheldon Richardson?
the two Richardsons were the guys we were after
I think they want to replace both McGee and McClain
for some reason the coaches love Ziggy
so I still expect us to take a run at Sheldon Richardson
McClain will be a 7mil dead cap hit I doubt he will be cut I guess you could do a June 1st cut and spread that hit.
I was told don’t expect McClain back so I’m assuming they do a June 1 designation
OK.
Breeland was effected badly by Normans signing he even said as much never was the same player after that, I think the coaches got tired of his attitude even Manusky mentioned something about him needing to listen more. Maybe a change of scenery for him will be good.
He’s got the talent to be a pro-bowl caliber DB. But needs to get his head right.
Agreed

Did you read the “golden talon” story?

Sorry for your loss…………of love, or time, depending. HA!
This is the first year I can remember us losing so many players to FA. A sign that the talent on our roster has increased. Breeland, Grant, Long, and possibly a few others.
Of those, though, Breeland is the only one who I think the team should’ve matched and kept, if possible.
Bree, for sure, but I want to see what Long got.
Fair point.
Although, I suspect we are going to lose a couple more.
I’m also okay with losing Brown as long as we grab one of those guys I identified in my column to replace him.
In Bruce we trust!
Don’t think they like Bree’s attitude apparently he has a listening problem.
I’m sorry, what?

So too much homework = no homework?
6th grade brah
Was it like that in 5th grade? Will it be that way next year?
6th has been the worst…new school t

Relax, teachers vary.
it is what it is…just telling you the facts. i have a few retired teachers/administrators I work with and they tell me what’s going on.
Local elementary school here went “no homework” this year. It’s not working out for them. Too many kids in too short a timeframe, with no repetition.
a few minutes per night, fine, 2 hours every night, excessive!
So if we lose Cousins, Breeland, Brown, Gallette, Murphy, Grant, Long…will be get some comp picks?
Cousins Bree long and Murphy will meet us comp picks
Depends on how many FA’s we bring in and what comp round everyone is assigned. So maybe…maybe not.
This is what to monitor on the comp pick issue:
https://overthecap.com/compensatory-draft-picks-cancellation-chart/
It’s a guess, but they pretty much have a read on it, normally.
So a 3rd and a 5th so far, that could change if we sign more people.
Yes.
That’s what I said he would go for way back. And it’s about right.
Steve is obsessed with LB’s needing to cover, but given that maybe 3-4 ILB’s in the entire league are ++ in coverage I don’t see it.
________________
There’s no need to sign a guy who’s a liability in coverage like he is when they can get someone else who can come close to his performance against the run and no be a liability in coverage.
And let’s be honest: Zach has the tackle numbers, but is he really a game changer? He’s had 2 plus years. There are other ILBs out there.

Meh. Don’t want another Cowpatty cast-off anyway.
If the eagles dump Mychal Kendricks Iโd jump in on that
trying to trade that dude.
Not terribly excited about losing both Fuller and Breeland in an offseason, BUT if we can add some front-7 maulers and playmakers, then I’m fine with Moreau and Dunbar back there. Just get to the QB, dang it…
We traded Fuller for Alex Smith.
Fuller is not Darrell Green. He was a 3rd round slot corner who was developing but still a slot corner.
We now have a very good (better than Kirk) QB for at least the next 3 seasons.
to be fair, he was 3rd round from injury. he overcame that and out-performed his 3rd round status. that’s what well-picked players do.
and, very pleased to get alex smith. very.
Then who is to say we cannot do that in this draft?
Seriously man. Dude was traded and that trade made us a shit ton better than if we’d still had him and Kirk was gone anyway.
i have no idea. hopefully redskins football people can find some gems. expectations low. hopes high.
Moreau had a higher grade than Fuller
Well that settles it then! Drinks on me!
he might be better than kirk in that he is similar but costs slightly less
Cost a lot less
I’m fine with the Alex Smith acquistion, just wary of the depletion of young but rising secondary players.
Moreau and Holsey now get a shot
You forgot Dunbar.
Dunbar’s a vet now with some experience. I think Moreau and Holsey mostly have ST work
Okay, so I’m watching some Kyle Lauletta highlights. I could be down for some of that as a prospect to groom, like the release speed. Looks very much like a Jay Gruden type guy.
His combine long balls were waaaay off tho. 10 – 15 yards off…
yes, he’s a wip, at best
We need a nay nay
Totally, but you get him, have him work with Jay and all for 2 years, learn to play under center. I like some of what I see there, some escapabilty, a fairly strong arm, good throwing motion.
I can throw the long ball!
…
but those short to medium outs are a doozey.
-Tanner Lee
No need to waste a pick on a QB this year except a back of the draft pick.
Lauletta is prob a late round pick
He’s probably not gonna go till the 4th or 5th round.
Yes, exactly. No need to waste a pick like that on a QB this year. 6th or 7th round only, in my opinion.
Slides around like Brees
If the Raiders come in at 8-9 million for Zach he’s going there.
Fuck that dude. Tackle-stats does not a game-changer make. He wants top-tier money and I didn’t see him change/take over any games…not even Seattle.
elite money would be in the 11 mil range for an ILB, maybe as high as 13
He didn’t impress me for what I was expecting coming off a pro-bowl effort in 2016. We will be able to replace him, no problem.
So Mo Wilkerson came for the free steak dinner on Danny’s dime, then left and immediately signed with GB.
define immediately
So he was on-time for his Green Bay meeting?
I think he rushed back to the GB people once he learned the Skins were passing on him.
Could be. Also possible GB upped the offer. Or he just preferred GB. Doesn’t really matter.
“Hey Mike McCarthy. Just heading out of Ruth’s Chris in Bethesda…nice chops over here. My agent will send over the pre-agreement once we get back to hotel. Text me back, let me know u got this message. Peace”

-McCarthy
damn… now i want steak tonight.
surely any free agent choosing between redskins and packers based on football stuff, all other things being equal, is going to choose packers. don’t know if “all other things” were equal..
I mean, if competing in the playoffs is THAT important to you as a player…then, ok…
I mean, it’s glaringly obvious. Why wouldn’t you take a chance on Mo for a quick and clean 5mil/1 year deal, unless…………..
Too rich. Too many other cheaper better options…and in the draft
I don’t feel like that’s rich, I feel like we left the used car lot unimpressed.
Yea that too….we can find better for a mil or so. Or a Cowboy for 10 mil….Bruce got this

Youru on the fast track to blockedville

Or in the draft
Maybe because he is a malcontent who hardly tried after he got paid.
Zach Brown will go for about $6-7mm per based on the other ILB signings.
which including incentives is about what we offered him
I knew we made him an offer, but I didn’t know the details. What was the offer?
something like $3M in salary, $2M in signing/roster/workout bonus and another $1M+ in incentive bonuses
I think the sticking point was it allowed the Redskins to get out after 1 year
^ No doubt.
Maybe although people though that last year and he didn’t get anything close.
Could be right, Flounder. Just looking at the other numbers and his performance compared to them.
I think he ends up signing our offer.
Too rich. Cheaper better options all over the place and in the draft
That’s what I said he would go for way back. And it’s about right.
Steve is obsessed with LB’s needing to cover, but given that maybe 3-4 ILB’s in the entire league are ++ in coverage I don’t see it.
Yeah he is a one trick pony.
He is very good at his one trick
True but that’s why he isn;t going to get a big contract.
Yes but the trick he’s bad at, about 90% of starting ILB’s are bad at.
If you are a linebacker who’s good in coverage, you end up playing safety.
Ryan Grant is one excited dude. He got the $$ in Bmore, but is still close enough to attend family events with the Grudens. It’s a jackpot-day for Ry-guy!

Sounds like it was more him not interested.
Do you know what we offered him to make that assumption.
No, tell us.
I didn’t make the assumption.
I’m just curious.
I’m just going on what some reporters tweeted, that he knew he wanted to go to Green Bay even before he got here.
Reporters tweet a lot of crap.
Just like the reporters who said Brees could get a fully guaranteed deal in Minny? And then when he re-signed with the Saints those same reporters were saying, “Brees was never going anywhere.”?
You go with those idiots?
imagine him with both palms up, pretending to do a weighing of options thing. redskins/packers/redskins/packers. yeah.
don’t need to know what we offered
they’re was not interest on one side or the other
I’m only assuming it was us since the salary in not outrageous
very logical deduction
bingo.
The Redskins passed. Book that shit.
I disagree completely. I think Manusky and Tomsula were like, “meh”.
I think the team is looking at Richardson.
I really think we sign Sheldon Richardson.
Way too much $$. We can find better cheaper and in the draft. Like the past 10 years and counting…( we did draft Allen ! )
really because a decent veteran starting DT goes for $4M to $6M
Being sarcastic…
Someone will say:
DAMMIT! Did you see how little Pryor signed for? We could have kept him for one more year at that bargain rate!
WE ARE LOSING TOO MANY PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
people are saying that on Twitter
Pryor has got no interest at all.
You don’t watch the combine because it’s exciting. You watch it to familiarize yourself with the rookie class.

Another LB off market. Skins gonna be in a tight spot if Zach Brown deal doesnโt happen
We won 2 of the 3 games he missed last season. So.
If/when should the redskins work on extending Scherff and Jamison Crowder?
F those guys – Iโll tag them until they prove it.
-B Allen
Scherff first… And soon.
Maybe wait until Crowder stops fumbling.
I’d do Crowder as soon as possible, now that we see the silly money that some lesser guys are getting, you need to lock him up.
You want to get rid of the fumbles, take him off punts solves most the problem.
They both will be offered a โprove itโ deal
Too rich…draft and replace.
I get that it’s not really FA until 4pm today…but we are free to negotiate and try and get dudes….wonder what’s up? Our D sucked last year and we stand to lose a lot of starters. We can’t replace them all in the draft and FA. Maybe we will get some comp picks in 2019.
Yeah I’m sure we haven;t talked to anyone.
We obviously have. We need them at this point to keep some of the guys we stand to lose.
Despite what Flounder will tell you, FA started at the opening of illegal tampering (and really before) when players started to commit.
Yeah and we haven’t lost any of the three guys you claim we lost.
Believe me I know.
If it came down to it, I would keep Junior over Murphy.
Same

One could definitely make that argument. But I’m so tired of our draft picks walking out of here.
Disagree Iโd take Murphy no question.
Murphy and Preston Brown are both the same guy-a poor man’s Kerrigan.
Gallette brings a different skill set to the table.
Galette is too busy making too many moves.
Murphy rushes and gets there.
Heโs what 5 years younger
Iโd take Murphy as well
Big question. ACL and PEDs…
I just hope we keep at least one of them.

Eagles have re-signed LB Nigel Bradham, source says. Big keep/

F!
Well crud. Not very surprising though.
It’s OK, no need to make any moves yet.
They actually “kept” one of their free agents?

Pats offered McCarron. Im sure he would like to start somewhere tho…
At least we got our QB in a good ‘trade’.

He’s good
He’s no Kendall Fuller
wow, 1.5 sacks? why is he still available on the FA market?

He is a ILB
Just being a smart ass this morning! Sorry.

CB DJ Hayden expected to sign with #Jaguars: 3 years, $19 million with $9.5 million guaranteed. Upside to $21 million.
So far, it looks like we are going to lose the following players on defense:
1) Breeland
2) Fuller
3) Gallette
4) Murphy
5) Brown
Collectively, those are some significant losses. And, we haven’t signed anyone quality as their replacement.
(Also, don’t tell me FA hasn’t begun yet – it started at illegal tampering – 32 out of Rotoworld’s top 50 players have already committed).
Not saying its time to panic, but so far we haven’t re-signed any of our own and haven’t signed anyone of equal quality to replace them. We got some real work to do.
Glad we’re losing Murphy Brown.
-Dan Quayle
So-Signed

Gallete and Murphy were hardly known to us last year
Galletee came on REALLY strong at the end of last year by all accounts (as he continued to recover from his injuries).
6. And a 3rd round draft pick.
Free agency hasn’t even started yet and nobody seems all that interested in Murphy, Brown or Gallette.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
Flounder: “(Also, don’t tell me FA hasn’t begun yet – it started at illegal tampering – 32 out of Rotoworld’s top 50 players have already committed).”
There are still sevral good players out there and notice how our 3 guys haven’t shown up on anyone radar.
How do we know that, flound? Murph certainly has.
If Murph leaves, the only player left from the ’14 draft class is Moses. Breeland, Long, Grant gone.
In Bruce we trust!
LOL, good one!
I’m glad the KSFTG era is over.
I’m gonna pretend I know what that is

Dorsey is doing a great job in Cleveland I think.
Wins and losses will decide that.
Sure but I like the moves. Doing his best to improve a putrid roster. And still has a bunch of picks.
Browns fans must be walking around in a daze. Gotta be tough to go from moneyball to being run by a football guy that knows how to spot talent and build a roster.
Ironically, Dorsey is more of a cap guy than a talent scouting guy. I guess that’s why they signed on for McGlue’s services.
An eye on the cap doesn’t mean he can’t scout. That’s what he spent his career doing. Scouting.
Bring in SM, that’s a sound move. Bolster the department.
What’s funny is that while Dorsey is dumping all of Sashi Brown’s picks in Cleveland, KC is doing the same thing with Dorsey’s picks.
Cleveland’s problem was, that… in playing moneyball and really heavily leaning on the draft, they (obviously IMO) didn’t have the right mix of vets and rooks. Great teams in all sports tend to have a good mix of young with crafty, experienced vets. where’s the leadership come from? greenhorns?

Speed baseball up…six innings is game. Two strikes is out. Three balls walks. Foul balls is next batter up. Extra innings are fined $10,000 per pitch.
Boom. Done.
Works in beer league softball.
Lingerie league softball would be cool.
That’s pure genius!
Lesbians batters would never see the pitch, they’d be caught watchin’ boobies bouncing. A huge factor in a starting pitcher, primo rack.
Rick could use with a proper microphone
He keeps putting it in his mouth.
Believe me, I’ve been trying to get most these guys to get serious about their sound, Rick’s actually got a really good mic but somehow still sounds off.
Really? Sounds like he’s using a speaker phone.
No,
Steve’s got a cheap $40 mic, not sure what Chris has. Rick’s got a Bluebird I believe which is a good high end USB mic.
My rig is $150 mic, $300 Mixer, $60 headphones.
Rick needs a black person’s mic, he must have a white guy’s mic
^ You joke, but that’s a thing.

LI VI D good bit.
NPI….so McClain McGee and Hatcher werent Cowboys ? Uhhh yes they were . Mayowa not a Cowboy brought in for interview?? Yes he was. Fuller AND a 3rd rd pick given up for the QB. You act like we got an even ‘trade’ for our QB…which just isnt true. Comp pick next year perhaps..hopefully helps even things out. But yea….
we had a surplus of DB they had a surplus of QBs
that’s how it works
the Skins didn’t want to be where the Cardinals ended up yesterday
Im just saying….be nice to get some players that perform…and stick around. In general
McGee was a Raiders
Ok…
We got a quality starting QB for a good #3 corner and a 3rd round pick.
That’s as fair a trade as you will see in the league.
Thats your opinion. Not mine. Like the QB tho
Browns signed Carlos Hyde. Guess Saquon won’t be going No. 1 overall.
or number 4
3 years, 15 mil
not a reason to not get another RB. but I didn’t then and I don’t know think they’ll go Barkley #1 overall; not unless they’re not going QB first round
Baseball?
Might as well a be talking about waiting rooms at a senior citizen home.

Nebraska has their pro day today.

Don’t they know not to schedule during NFL FA frenzy week?
i could fix baseball with about 3-4 rule changes.

Shame about Stephen Hawking. A brilliant man that most everyone in the world loves, despite the fact that 99% of us have no clue what the eff he was talking about.
I was mostly indifferent about him. Surely brilliant, but a lot of people likely confused some of his speculation for actual physics, though don’t get me wrong on that, not saying he didn’t contribute to the infiniverse.
Probably, judging from things you’ve written on here, a hypocritical statement.
