2015 Offseason/Regular Season Cuts, Trades, Free Agent Moves/Firings

Apparently, he refused to give the Packers that hometown discount they so badly needed.

Browns might be the mystery (or misery) team after Revis.

40M guaranteed for a 30 year old CB on a rebuilt knee? Jets are welcome to him.

Somehow, 15 million over 3 years for Tramon doesn't sound so bad.

Do they own a machine that plays any game tape?

Details on Bradford-Foles trade. No first round picks. 

@AlbertBreer: Eagles acquire QB Sam Bradford and a 2015 fifth-round pick for Rams QB Nick Foles, a 2015 sixth-rounder and a 2016 second-rounder.

Defensive cover so AJ can roam.

@RapSheet: This is unexpected. The #Bengals are jumping into the free agent mix. I’m told DT Nick Fairley is visiting in the morning.

Great move by the Rams

Chip going rogue.  He's running that team like he's playing Madden 2015

Closet GMs rejoice

@AlbertBreer: Condition to Foles/Bradford deal ... If Bradford doesn't start 8 games, Eagles get a 4th round pick back. If he's reinjured, they get a 3..

 

@AdamSchefter: If Sam Bradford is not Eagles' starting QB this season, Philly gets  back its 2016 2nd-round pick from STL.

 

@WillBrinson: The Eagles-Rams trade is conditional on someone being able to figure out the actual compensation.

 

@adbrandt: Re Foles-Bradford: language re picks must be spelled out. "If a starter" not an allowable trade condition.

Chip Kelly is Steve Spurrier with a more NFL-friendly offensive playbook. Same exact goofball approach to building a team, though.

He didn't have those problems trading Colt Lyerla to the Oregon Department of Corrections.

Philly ownership just giving that team away to Chip. 

Just plain stoopid.  Now watch Chipper trade away the next 3 drafts to get Mariotta. 

The guy is truly delusional - and the irony about all of this is in 2 years from now when he's run out of town on the rails he'll be the reverse Pete Carroll.  Leave your team in shambles and strike gold on the other end.

Somewhere TT is pouring a Bud Lite over ice and laughing his ass off

I miss "for past considerations".

       
       


Like he's playing Madden 2015 high as a kite.  Ahhh, memories.

This year the cutoff point for 4th round compensatory picks is estimated to be 5.703 million dollars.  Obviously that number will be higher next year, I'll guess right around 6 million.  So if House's deal does average 6.25 million (doesn't seem to be a really concrete report on that yet), the Packers probably get a 4th round comp pick for him in the 2016 draft.

 

I also think this will steer Ted further away from signing a good unrestricted free agent from another team.  He won't want to mess with that pick or another possible pick if Tramon leaves.  I could see him being fairly aggressive with players that other teams have released because the money is there, but Ted seems to really like his comp picks.

Ted loves all his picks equally.  No favoritism in his house

Speaking of Chip Kelly, ESPN's dumbest loudmouth (and that's saying a lot!) does not approve of Chip:

Time to put everyone at ESPN in a clown hat.

Retiring after a few too many shots to the dome region?

Get it together Patrick. 

@schwartzfeinsod: Pending legal, @Revis24 has agreed to terms with the New York Jets 

 

@AdamSchefter: Darrelle Revis was asking teams for $40 million guaranteed. Jets' deal expected to top that. North of $40M guaranteed.

Er, second dumbest. Skip is offended That you overlooked him.

Make that a two year 10 mil deal and I'm in.

FTFY

@JasonPhilCole: @Revis24 signs for 5-year, $70M deal. Includes $39M FULLY guaranteed, $33M in the first two years. 

 

@JasonLaCanfora: Revis's deal is 5yrs/$70M but at its core is 3yrs/$48M ($16M/yr) with $39M fully guaranteed source says. Wow.

 

Oh my.

@RapSheet: If Darrelle Revis plays out his new contract with the #Jets, he’ll have earned $155,199,500 in total, which is a lot, per sources

Revis knows how to play the game.

To coin a phrase.....

That's just silly money...

Damn near CEO money.

Nearly 9% state income tax in NY, so it's not really $70mm w/$39mm guaranteed

He should move to Canadia and commute

I wonder what it would take to sign Jordan Cameron or if the Packers would even be interested in him?

SI's Don Banks with some noteworthy takes on the Graham-to-Seattle deal:

A league source tells me that all is not hiccups and giggles in Seattle, however. The acquisition of Graham has been heartily welcomed by Seahawks players, but many are also distraught about seeing Unger, one of the team’s true leaders and ultimate professionals, depart after six years in Seattle.

​Unger was extremely well-liked and respected in the locker room, and I’m told running back Marshawn Lynch isn’t happy with the loss of one his favorite offensive linemen. And here we thought that new contract Lynch got from Seattle last week would keep him smiling at least until April or so.

I think Ted needs to focus on the defense now.

Sometimes it's funny when teams are so stupid, sometimes it's sad. The Jets will continue to be a joke. Revis is a fine player, but they just got taken to the cleaners. 

 

I feel bad for Marshawn. He just got all that money and now he doesn't have his friends on the team any more. So sad for him.

quote:

I think Ted needs to focus on the defense now.

He already improved the defense by getting rid of Hawk and Brad Jones.

Marshawn got his respect TE.

Imo, Revis over-rated .... Especially when you look at the money and age.
Dum and Jordy agrees.

New York Jets nil, Green Bay Packers nine.

Green Bay Packers 26, New England Patriots 21.

Not surprised they're pissed.  Can you imagine if TT just decided to trade TJ Lang or Josh Sitton and a first rounder for Graham?  Similar situation, trading the pro bowl caliber leader of your o-line.  That would never happen in Green Bay though.  TT knows it's not a game of Madden, you don't just stockpile the highest rated players and expect it to work out.  Chemistry matters and I'm not just referring to POS's like Harvin.  Ask any championship team and they'll tell you that something was different about their locker room.  

 

And I think the big reason Bulaga is back at only $7m per year is b/c of the other 4 lineman and Rodgers.  I have no doubt that playing with those 5 means more to him than an extra $2-3m per year.  TT sure knows how to pick them....

I would have traded Derek Sherrod for Jimmy Graham.

Kinda think the Seahawks know what they're doing.

They can call it the smores offense now!
