So I see the Texans have given Andre Johnson permission to seek a trade. He has 2 years and 21 million left on his deal. UHHHHHHHHHHHM why the fuck would any team trade for him when he is going to be cut very soon most likely. Was same with Revis last year
as a packer fan, i'm very curious to see what happens with cobb
Any chance a late first round team tries to take either Dez Bryant or Justin Houston?
It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

dez is a non-exclusive franchise tagged player, thus a team could theoretically offer him 5 years 140 million, at which point the Cowboys would have to match or receive 2 first round picks. Given what's purportedly hanging over his head, no one would do this, but i imagine this is what he means by saying late first round team. Giving up two picks in the 20s is much better than giving up high first round picks. Dez has the talent to make it interesting, but his troubles will prevent it imo.huh
I hope China, with his vast NFL knowledge was being facetiousdez is a non-exclusive franchise tagged player, thus a team could theoretically offer him 5 years 140 million, at which point the Cowboys would have to match or receive 2 first round picks.

Cliffs- a franchised player non-exclusive can still seek a new deal. The Cowboys can match, or decline. If they match Dez must sign with Dallas. If Dallas declines the team Dez signs with owes 2 first round picks.
This is only ever considered by late first round picking teams. I think Minnesota did this to obtain Jared Allen years ago(I could be wrong).
I think it's a fair argument that Justin Houston is easily worth a huge contract and 2 late first round picks. The dude almost broke the sack record this year, is still really young, and has no off field issues like Dez

Good info, I'm not the best when it comes to some of this stuff with caps and free agency etc... but what you are talking about is rare situation but could happenI hope China, with his vast NFL knowledge was being facetious

Vikings traded for Allen then gave him a new deal, after he was franchised by the Chiefs. Traded 1st and 2 3rds.
I don't see any team giving away two 1sts for almost anyone in the NFL right now, outside of the top 8-12 qbs and maybe JJ Watt. Suh may have been closer to that happening than Houston or Dez.
The genius of Bill Belichick the coach is that he is able to overcome the mistakes of Bill Belichick the GM.
When I heard they did not franchise McCourty I snap bet a friend that he will soon be an ex Patriot.
I bet a little too big for comfort and now I gotta sweat this out.
McCourty definitely made Revis better.
God I love Boston sports talk though. The fellowship of the miserable hatin on Belichick fresh off Super Bowl.
Northeastern University handling the Red Sox.
Edit:
Red Sox win 2-1 in extra innings. Tough win against a tough opponent. Sprinkles are for winners.

Saw the Lions weren't going to franchise Ndamukong Suh, so he'll be a free agent. Would make a big difference on anybody's D-line.

Yeah he will find a new stomping ground somewhere else.
I see what you did thereYeah he will find a new stomping ground somewhere else.

LOL. Maybe a viable backup kicker.Yeah he will find a new stomping ground somewhere else.
He is a damn good defensive tackle.

Lions had a good run.

I think you are in a good spot here. I think he walks even though he is saying the right things. And for what it's worth I think you are wrong about BB being a bad GM as it pertains to this situation. If McCourty made Revis 10% better than Revis made McCourty 99% better. Revis is the player that 100% needs to be locked up, not McCourty. I suspect the Pats won't make any moves until Revis is done, other than franchising a kicker anyway.

Do you not believe McCourty is the best available out there? Or were his results skewed that much by Revis?
Suh or Revis - who lands bigger deal? Haven't taken first look but that feels like a bet too. The new NFL.
Suh easily, just because of age. Revis might get more per year though for whatever he signs. Suh bigger overall and more guaranteed.Interesting & smart take.

Revis> McCourty. Would like both of em but prob not going to happen. Way easier to replace McCourty than Revis.Interesting & smart take.

Suh should get the biggest deal IMO
