2016-2017 NFL Season Thread [Archived] Football • Page 2

Can't believe it even took him this long to announce it, honestly.

 

Probably because his team just won a SB. Wasn't going to let the media do nothing but talk about his retirement.

 

Los Angeles Rams, gonna take awhile to get used to saying that.

 

Finding it hard to get excited for another draft as a Browns fan. I legitimately feel embarrassed being a Browns fan. Easily one of the most dysfunctional franchises in all of sports.

I wish there was a scenario where the Browns didn't need to reach on one of the QB's, but they kind of have to and I get it. I just find it hard to pass on better NFL prospects because we have to draft a QB. I wish our front office had more room to operate autonomously, but it is what it is.

 

Calvin Johnson officially retired.
:(

 

Wow, what is dude? Like 30? Seems kind of early, but you could tell he was aging. Still better than most receivers in the league though.

 

Had 1200 yards in his last season, one of the greatest of all time. Honored my team could have him

 

I wonder what his next step is. He's only 30. Coaching, TV, FO maybe?

 

Some time off, firstly, haha. I don't know, dude doesn't seem too into any of those off the top of my head. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't work in football

 

Ha. You'd think I was member of the national media speculating immediately

 

Subbing. Go Pack Go.

 

Subbing... Eagles... are.... going.... crazy

 

Two ESPN alerts I just got back-to-back:

"NFL Free Agency: Former Dolphins DE Olivier Vernon expected to sign with Jaguars for 4 years, $75.5 million - FOX Sports"
"NFL Free Agency: Correction - DE Olivier Vernon does not have a deal in place to sign with the Jaguars at this time"

A+ reporting

 

That's a lot of $$$

 

Have fun Atlanta! Running gadget plays and end around a is exactly all you need from your number 2 WR apparently.

 

Yeah that's interesting. Especially since they could have kept Roddy around for another year for much less than that.

 

Forte to the Jets, long live Lacy's fantasy value.

 

Looks like Osweiler to the Texans. Things are getting interesting...

 

Well we have Julio so, yeah, that's about we all we need from WR2

 

What is Denver going to do at qb now? Not that it matters with that defense.

 

Rumors I read earlier are that they're worried they can't keep Brock, may go after Kaepernick (meh). Saw Malick Jackson is leaving for the Jaguars.

 

Any chance they try for RG3?

 

I feel like Justin Hardy could become a much more capable WR2 if you gave him a chance instead of signing Antwan Randle El Pt 2

 

Schefter just said "they have RG3 on their list", which of course they'll look at him but I don't see him playing there.

 

I 100% agree
