Osweiler to Houston

Broncos might trade for Kapernick

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Just about to post that Osweiler is going to Houston.  I'm torn on the Kaepernick rumor because he's such a douche.  Athletically he's gifted but he's regressed every year since signing his current contract.  San Fran is a mess and him getting out of there is probably best for him but doesn't mean I want him to end up in Denver.  That said the QB FA class is weak and the best options left via trade or FA are Fitzpatrick, RGIII and Kaepernick right now.  I like the thought of Fitzpatrick as a game manager for a few years if Denver thinks their D can continue to be one of the better ones in the league but long term he isn't the answer while there's more upside with RGIII and Kaepernick who are both younger.

Yup, Osweiler to Houston. Very interesting. Denver has been linked to Kap, but will Elways really trade for a non traditional QB? I wonder if they'll make a run at RGIII as well..

[nando714]

Bill Obrien is a really good QB coach. I think Osweiler will do well there they just gave him 4 yrs 72 mil.

Holy shit balls...Philly gave Chase Daniel 3 years, $21 million !?! WTF !?!?! That is not backup QB money...I wonder how much is guaranteed.

Wouldn't be surprised if they trade Bradford. His contract is tradable

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Houston also signed Lamar Miller while C. Ivory signed with Jacksonville and M. Forte signed with the Jets.  

[Angel Oracle]

Osweiller to Houston, Mack to Atlanta, and losing Jenkins?

 

WTF are you doing Snead?

Snoorrre, tic toc, tic toc, snorreee! 

 

Both you and the Kings' Dean Lombardi used the drafts to rebuild.

At least Lombardi can make trades/FA signings.    I hope you intend to do the same!

 

I mean you only have some $40+ million to use to get to the salary cap. 

 

Are you too busy finding a place to live out here????

jason pierre paul re-signs with the giants for one year.

 

mario williams signs with the dolphins. nice d-line with him and suh.

[nando714]

Denver's demolition continues

LB Danny Trevathan signs with the Bears

[nando714]

Cardinals lose their RT Bobbie Massie to the Bears. Let's hope first round pick DJ Humphries can step into the RT position. He didn't play a snap in 2015

[nando714]

Olivier Vernon just for 5 years 85 m . Bigger deal than watt and becomes highest paid de in NFL.

Von Miller should hit a 100m easy

[Spirit]

Osweiler to Houston

Broncos might trade for Kapernick

He's good.

 

Watched him at Mizzou, he filled in nicely for Drew Brees, and didn't get many reps in KC but was solid.

 

I don't think he'll light it up, but is capable.

[Brandon]

I'd like to see the Chiefs grab a #2 WR, OL (they grabbed Schwartz today), and grab depth in all areas.

 

I feel like they are pretty close.

Chiefs stripped of their 3rd round pick this year and I think a 6th round pick in 2017 for tampering with Jeremy Maclin last off season

[Angel Oracle]

At least the Rams signed Mark Barron to a new deal, and got some other support players re-signed.

But they still have to resolve a secondary now without Jenkins and McLeod.

And they still have the meh Keenum and Foles QB'ing.

It's weak. In any other sport I think the appeal process would work, but not in the NFL.

 

The Jets did way worse last year and only were fined 100k.

 

Deadspin has a good article titled "Chiefs docked 3rd round pick for doing what every team does"

i appreciate that you know the rams roster as well as you do. i'm not sure i know anyone outside of gurley, keenum, and foles.

Dolphins sign RB cj Anderson to 4 yr offer sheet worth 18 mil. Denver has 5 days to match

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Mixed feelings on that one.  Both CJ and Hillman were FA's entering the off season and Hillman is definitely a change of pace back who they could afford to let go assuming they kept CJ.  CJ is a 3 down back and is a better blocker but at 4.5M a year that puts him top 10 in the NFL as far as avg annual salary for a RB goes.  Currently not having a QB who has thrown a pass in the NFL means having a RB who knows the system would be huge.  If they add a QB before the 5 days are up I'd say let him walk, draft a back late and maybe sign a vet.  If they don't add a QB then you have to decide if he's worth it at 4.5M a year.

 

Edit - I'm reading that Miami front loaded the contract which means CJ is likely done in Denver.  The same article mentioned how much cap space Denver has which seems about right after the cuts they made the OL they signed from KC.  They'll need Clady and Ware to definitely restructure their contracts to give them some more wiggle room.

I know Anderson, Travathan, and Jackson were big parts of the championship team but they were UDFA, 7th, and 5th round choices respectively. Maybe teams should be raiding the Broncos scouting department instead of their roster.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

What is up with Jacksonville poaching off Denver's best players?

 

About damned time that the Jaguars spent on positions of need. The defense was horrible a year ago. If it's even average, they're in the running for a playoff spot.

Cardinals get Chandler Jones for 2nd round pick and Borderline bust Jonathan cooper

Love it
