2015 NFL Off Season & Free Agency (Other Teams)

[JO_75]

While Greg Hardy's trial begins tomorrow, the pending FA will not be coming back to Carolina. Team sources are saying they have "washed their hands" of Hardy and will move on from him in 2015.

Report: A 38 year old starting to look washed up Peyton Manning is preparing as if he is going to play in 2015. 

 

Not sure if I agree with the decision, he just looked like he was done the way he played against the Colts in the playoffs. So it looks like we'll be facing the Denver Mannings once again in 2015.

That may not be a bad thing, since he's on the decline. Don't get me wrong, I have huge respect for the guy, but after the way he played against the Colts, you'd think he knew he was done.

 

At least you can respect his will to never give up.

I'm still willing to give him a benefit of an injury doubt. However you look at it, he's going to be dangerous alongside Kubiak's ground game. I see them and us as an early favourites for AFC title.

[JO_75]

If Peyton returns, he may not have Wes Welker at his disposal since he is a pending FA. Though if Welker, who is thinking about retirement, no team will have him. If Welker retires he will finish his career with 890 catches, 9,822 Yards Receiving and 50 TDs.

[JO_75]

Looks like another Raven FA bust might be let go this year as well. First it was Oher's unimpressive one year stint with Tennessee, and now according to the Miami Herald, LB Dan Ellerbe is in danger of being a cap causality coming off a hip injury that put him on IR back in September. He is due $8.45M in 2015. 

 

With potentially Mike Wallace gone as well, it seems the new GM is clearing out those huge contracts that former GM Jeff Ireland gave out.

Apparently Kyle Shanahan gave Mike Pettine a 32-slide presentation about why he wanted to leave Cleveland.

[berad]

Not a fan of Shanahan but Cleveland is a joke

[lgcs27288]

Kind of glad he didnt come here after that.

Multiple Teams are interested per Ian Rapport. Teams are unknown but I imagine they are all backup jobs, except maybe Tennessee where he could start.

He could also be a fit in Houston. O'Brien is pretty good with QB as well.

In some more fairly humorous offseason stuff, it turns out the Eagles' 2015 calendar features Riley Cooper for Black History Month.

What a joke.

[ludy51]

What if you, on the off chance, have no talented black players on the team? Who do you put on the calendar then?

The embarrassing part isn't that he's white (arguably it's not ideal, but I'm not touching that with Johnny Manziel's beer can collection), but because of Cooper's racist incident a couple of offseasons ago.

[allblackraven]

There's 12 months in a calendar year. It is not possible to find a football team at any level, let alone NFL, that has less than 12 talented black players.

I know that but theoretically what if that happened?

Welker needs to retire. He's been concussed enough. Peyton returning to Denver. Idk. I think Kubes says no.

Wouldn't mind having him as a backup.

The understatement of the year.

Well you gotta have a sense of humor.

The untalented black players.

Well the off season is really off to a slow start....

Put up a calendar of embarrassing photos of GM and his personnel? 

[JO_75]

Ok so to get this back on track before we lose it under a month before free agency. So what is everyone's predictions in FA regarding the 31 other teams? Personally I see Detroit pulling off the upset and retaining Suh but will regret it later on when they can't afford Stafford, Johnson and Suh's contracts.

 

Julius Thomas and Jordan Cameron end up in the NFC, Cameron in Seattle as it was reported Seattle tried to trade for Cameron prior to the trade deadline. Atlanta meanwhile misses the presence of Gonzalez and will pay big money to get Julius to come to Atlanta. Hoyer lands in Houston, Sanchez remains in Philly as the starter until the Eagles get a rookie QB he can compete with. 

 

All I got for now.

Edited February 13, 2015 by JO_75

[Wacko4Zacko]

I got Hoyer going to Jets or Bills. 

Ingram Stays with Saints

Randall Cobb goes to Panthers

Suh goes to Bears(Division Rival upset)

Fairley stays with Lions

Demarco Murray goes to Colts

Jeremy Maclin stays with Eagles

Michael Crabtree stays in bay, but signs with Raiders(team he was supposed to be drafted too)

Jordan Camereon go to Seahawks

Julius Thomas goes to Raiders( Division rival upset)

Justin Houston stays with Chiefs

Revis stays with Patriots

Devin McCourty goes to the Cowboys

Byron Maxwell goes to Falcons

Foles being traded to a AFC team, Texans or Titans

 

And for my bold prediction...RG3 traded to the Eagles. Chip will revive RG3 career

I found it interesting, and so did the ~60,000 people who read the story from Bleacher Report alone.

I named all top free agents off of my head. But I agree Jordan Cam goes to Seattle

I'd like to see Jordan Cameron go to the Saints. Just so they can have Cameron Jordan and Jordan Cameron on the same team.

[JO_75]

Apparently the Broncos and Peyton Manning talked on Thursday about his return. Broncos President went to New Orleans to get Manning and bring him to Denver. Manning left Denver...... with no word on his return. Now if he returns, he will have to take a physical and if he passes his $19M becomes guaranteed for 2015 on March 9th. 

 

I think Elway should just call the Manning signing a bust, let him go to another team, or he retires and start over. If I'm Elway, I would take a few bad seasons to get secure a Franchise QB rather let Manning pull a Favre and go through this every year.

Did anyone else see all the "Larry Fitzgerald to the Steelers" stories? Do they even have the cap room to make this happen? I thought the Steelers were in bigger cap trouble than we are, maybe not. I am a little worried that they may be trying to make that happen. Anyone else.......?
