    Fingers Crossed for Lifetime Bans. Enough is enough. 

     

    I want the Pete Rose treatment.

    Agreed, unfortunatly the big fish(Belicheat) is getting off scotfree. No doubt in my mind he knew exactly what was going on. The big thing is Kraft needs to apologize to everybody about how his stepsons are making a mockery and a joke of the game with unsportsmanlike usage of the rulebook and totally tarnishing the shield this time by blatantly cheating(not skirting the rules) and this has been going on for years. Maybe its not 100% conclusive but common sense.........

    Looks like we got our first holdout of 2015. Steelers WR Antonio Brown did not report to the first day of offseason workouts. It is said he won't report to any workouts and may hold out during mandatory mini camps and training camp. Brown's contract averages $8.39M a year which ranks 13th in the league. 

     

    Funny thing is according to Spotrac, his overall cap hit is $9,787,500, which ranks third highest paid player on the team.

    He has 3 yrs remaining on his deal. If he doesn't like his deal he needs to fire his agent.

    i think only the years of experience and it being a 1 year deal is what counts to qualifiy.

     

    but you might be right.

    he can sign for whatever price as long as the guaranteed part is less then 65K and its a 1 year deal and he is a veteran lol

     

    at least thats what i make of it.

     

    that 970K will be his cap number and the minimum schaub will make.

    max ofcourse will be the 3 mil but it wont count that much against the cap.

     

    so its a 3 mil 1 year deal with a 970K cap hit and  970K minimum earning.

    What I'm thinking it means is that he has to sign for the vet minimum with no signing bonus and then they can count him as being a 2 yr player for 585k but I'm also not sure lol. I've never heard of it. Be nice to see all the details.

    The fact your comparing it to the team with the worst off season shows how bad free agency has been for the ravens. The only way the ravens add any game changing talent now is through a trade or giving an opportunity to Justin Blackmon and Colt Lyera. The Arizona is shopping Daryl Washington who is as good as any physical 3Down LB in the NFL. He and Mosley would really help out the secondary with their speed,range and striking skills over the middle. Not many more salary cap cuts are expected this year. Justin Blackmon would be an all time steal if they could get him focused and playing. As could Colt Lyera. When he is in shape many players like Josh Huff and Kyle Long have said he is the best player they ever played with or against. Players like Rob Housler,Gresham and Denarius Moore are more talented than their production indicates as a result of terrible play at their teams QB position. However they have shown no interest. It looks as if somebody is holding the position open for Pitta as if his hip would hold up. He must be somebody's friend on the ravens like Harbaugh Ozzie or Decosta to not try replacing him when he clearly can't play on that hip. Any TE in the draft would be a reach cuz its the weakest draft in years at the TE position. In most other drafts Max Williams would never be in Round1 discussion. Some drafts he wouldn't be considered til Round3-4.

    He's Joe's friend aka fishing buddy.

    Brace yourselves for this one

     

    Tim Tebow has worked out for the #Eagles, the team confirms (as @AdamSchefter said). The workout was earlier today.

     

    On Tim Tebow’s #Eagles workout: It was in Philly… and yes, it was at quarterback.

     

    And just a look over at ESPN, they are already running with it

    Maybe he's gonna go college style and rotate his QBs and Tebow can be the wildcat guy.

     

    Gotta love Chip trying to throw everyone off making them think he isn't going to trade up for Mariota.

    I wouldn't be surprized if Mariota falls to them at #20 with no moves.

    Here's the kicker with Thomas. Dez Bryant got the regular franchise tag but the Broncos placed the non-exclusive Franchise Tag on Thomas. Meaning any team can make a run at him but would have to give Denver two first round picks. 

     

    The Patriots are using the Tag on Kicker Stephen Gostkowski over Devin McCourty who will now be heading into the open market. 

    If a team that usually drafts late like the Bengals want him it'd be worth it.

     

    Oh man, damn you Miami. I was hoping Charles Clay would have been a good option for us at TE next week. The Dolphins are using the transition tag on TE Charles Clay. If he signs it, he would stay in Miami for $7M this season.

    Another team can sign him and not have to give up a penny in compensation. This only gives the Dolphins the right to match. Call it the Alex Mack effect. I really don't understand why teams don't use this tag more.

    Wasn't sure where to put this but since this deals with FA, I'll put it here for discussion to kill time over the next 9 days. 

     

    The league is looking into moving the key June 1st deadline up a month to May 1st. The goal is to give players who wouldn't be employed until then a chance to participate in offseason practices that they normally wouldn't have.

    Good info. It's only fair to both the team and the player. I really like the idea about eliminating the Thurs inactives.
