Dammit, don't care to see Graham going to Seattle.
Ditto for Ngata coming to Detoilet.
@SI_PeterKing: Not sure if it is out there, but hearing it's a 4 and a 5 from Detroit to Baltimore for Haloti Ngata.
@RobDemovsky: 3 ... 2... 1.. Happy (NFL) New Year!
I have to say I love it. How often have we really seen major trades in the NFL lately?
A 4 & 5 for Ngata seems like a fair price, but his cap number isn't chump change either.
Hate the Lions but they did well in the end. Let Suh go for that ridiculous money...then get Haloti for a 4th or a 5th? Damn
My twitter feed just BLEW UP!!
Seattle mortgaging their future...gotta think there are multiple 1st round picks involved here.
Or think it's easier to find a good Center than a TE. It's a pretty thin year for the latter, though arguably not that deep for the former either.
Okay, I'm not gonna assume Chip Kelly know what he's doing anymore.

WTH are the Eagles/Chipper thinking, trading for Bradford?
Edit*** Dam ewe, CAPF95!

Martin Mayhew and Ozzie Newsome were Involved. This point must be factored into "who did well in this trade?"
Chip Kelly is a ****ing lunatic.
Baltimore is smert. Have been for quite a while
Seattle's OL was pretty bad last year and now they lose Unger, who was a good Center. Of course, I'd rather have Graham over a good Center
It desperately gives Seattle an actual pass catching threat which is what they needed.
Yeah Ozzie Newsome isn't dum dum and Mayhew is, so I'm giving Baltimore the benefit of the doubt right now. Ngata still has gas in the tank, but Newsome wouldn't trade him if his cap number matched his production. This strikes me as a year too soon than a year too late type deal.
This deal for Seattle may come back to bite them. It looks like hubris got the best of them. Unger isn't an all-pro anymore, but their OL was much worse without him. I think they let him and Carpenter go because theyre a a ZBS team and they think they can plug and OL in and have success. It's true to an extent, but Ungers loss will affect the passing game more then Graham's gain. Wilson won't be able to get the ball near Graham if he's running for his life every play.

Horrible news. Great pick up by the Lions. I was so excited to be rid of Suh.
And Baltimore has Timmy Jernigan entering his second season who looked pretty good last year.

I could buy in to Chip Kelly thinking that the players on the O side of the ball are basically replaceable in his system. Not saying I agree, but I could understand the thinking. Hell, no Oregon player has really been a stud at the next level, and they just swapped out players and they all kicked ass in his system. So I could understand the thinking of "I'm gonna cheap out on offense and spend on defense".
But trading for Bradford and his insane contract is ludicrous. It makes ZERO sense. zero.

JEEZUS!! It doesn't stop!
Wow, has Chip Kelly lost his mind?
Seattle could plug scott wells at center and that offense would be scary. I'm calling some under the table bs between paul allen and benson. Between nfl and NBA owners meetings those guys probably see one another once a month.
Even when Bradford was healthy, he wasn't that good. Still made boneheaded throws at times.
What would be more dum dum? Trading for Bradford or Cutler?

If the World Cup didn't break it, it won't break. 
Bradford (when healthy) is better than Foles, but he's rarely healthy. And, I don't see him in Kelly's offense.
Don't care for Prisco, but think he has a point here:
The hits keep coming.

@jimrome: Only person in Philly excited about Sam Bradford's anticipated arrival is Mark Sanchez.
@bruce_arthur: Now I want to see Belichick trade Brady, just to watch the world burn.
Daniels to the Broncos is a good signing. He'll at least try to block and he's a decent receiver.

Cutler has been pretty decent a couple of times in his career, the only thing Bradford has done is cash a paycheck and show up for surgery.
QB Jake Locker is retiring. Wow.
More about Graham and Wilson.
Russell Wilson was 1 of 5 qualified QBs to complete less than half of his red zone attempts last season (49.1%)
#Saints CB Keenan Lewis talking holdout. "I would love to stay and play for my hometown but I only want to be treated fairly." More soon.
We need to find someone Chip Kelly is interested in trading for and move quickly. Right now, he's in a manic phase and is making a lot of very questionable decisions.
Boy Chip Kelly is going to be embarrassed when he realizes the "OU" next to Sam Bradford's college didn't mean Oregon
Owen Daniels would have been a good fit at backup TE (and not just because he's a former Badger).
Were Bradford healthy and as mobile as he once was, it would be a good fit, but it's lunacy to count on either one, IMO.
Another shot at weirdness, what if the Jets wanted Bradford.

I hear you. This mofo is always making these fukked up deals.
I can't breathe

The league will never be the same again without him. One of the worst throwing RUNNINGBACKS I have ever seen.
Ngata is a solid player (has been consistently over his career) but don't expect him to be 'Suh's replacement' - not the same players
