NFL 2015 Part 2: There's a Flag Down

[Hewson]

Josh Norman now a free agent.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

To the Dolphins!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Oh, the Washington football franchise.

$50 million guaranteed for Josh Norman? Don't stop being you.

 

[Hewson]

A lot of money. Good player, but could blow up in their faces.

 

[LemonMelon]

Don't stop being you.

This was splashy, but try to name another free agent we signed this offseason. The team is certainly being built differently these days.

FWIW, I would rather have Josh Norman at $15 million a year than Janoris Jenkins at $12.5 million a year.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Why have a cornerback when you can just not have a cornerback?

Touche'... but for $21 million less guaranteed.

I think if Norman continues to play like he did last year, then it's a great deal. Worried about his character though. Free agency is risky but can pay off if the player fits the scheme and culture.

At least the rest of us get to see Norman vs. Beckham twice a year for the foreseeable future, so that's a plus.

And Dez.

Dez likely to be injured for at least 1 matchup a year if not both.

 

[mikal]

Wow. Brady's 4 game suspension is back on....for now.

 

[Hewson]

This thing is such a joke.

 

[mikal]

What's crazy is that this isn't even about Brady anymore. He's just a pawn in the fight for whether or not Goodell has the power that the NFLPA agreed to in the CBA. I said it back in 2011, the NFLPA screwed themselves over by not pushing this issue further.

 

[phanan]

I'm just waiting for the obligatory deep post.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

This is nuts that this could actually go before the Supreme Court now

 

[bobsaget77]

This is a disgrace.

Raiders to Las Vegas
I like it

 

[LemonMelon]

Sounds like an XFL team.

Vegas would be a terrible NFL town. I lived there awhile and everybody is a transplant with embedded team loyalties already. Then again they could attract of visiting team fans because its Vegas.

NBA is ideal there. Sounds like the NHL is going to expand there

 

[mikal]

How great would it be if the Patriots submitted a card at #30 that says "Fuck you Goodell "

Las Vegas Outlaws

 

[U2inUtah]

I watched Goff throw 5 INTs against the Utes last year. Woulda never believed he'd go #1 a year later

It would be a fucking smash.

There are only 8 home games a year. If you build a stadium anywhere near the struo it would become the most sought after ticket in the NFL instantly.

Because who the hell wouldn't want to go to Vegas to see their team play live?

That the city is the largest city in America without a pro team is secondary. The market for the visiting team would sell out every game.

And a Super Bowl? A fucking Super Bowl in Vegas? My god.

 

[LemonMelon]

It'll be an attractive freak show for a couple of years, then the Raiders will blow all the good will with a few terrible seasons and people will find other things to spend their money on.

 

[PhilsFan]

The rumors about Tunsil's stepfather are pretty insane.

Goodell just banned Tunsil for life.

Miami just banned themselves.

Just a few years after the whole bullying scandal thing and now we are here. Donkeykong Suh comes to mind.

I don't have any qualms with smoking pot, but Tunsil wreaks of controversy to come.
