QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 12, 2014 -> 06:02 PM) Are any of the Bears' offensive starters not under contract for next year? I think Garza was only one and he was re-signed. You just have your depth to re-sign.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 12, 2014 -> 05:48 PM) I hate Jared Allen. I also want Jared Allen. FWIW Michael C Wright said chances were slim.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 12, 2014 -> 01:39 PM) Idiot. Byrd is a nice guy to have in CF, but he's not worth that type of contract. I also have no idea how they'll have money to resign Graham next year though. Guess the Bills will just have to sign him and give a big middle finger to New Orleans. I would say they will find a way to give graham some weirdly large contract that nobody thinks could work but works because the NFL salary cap is insane.

I'm a bit surprised the Pats have yet to go for it considering the age of Brady and the coach. They keep playing value but at some point your QB will be gone.

Amazed Broncos have Ward and Talib signed. How do they have that money? Also, sorry site about Byrd.

It's amazing, last year vet defensive players couldn't smell a contract. All of them that signed 1 year deals and didn't get injured definitely are getting paid this year. Poor DJ Williams.

I wonder if Cornelius Washington has progressed at all.

Yeah, from Michael C Wright looks like we will have big interest in Melton, whom is only getting feelers from the cap screwed Cowboys. I'd feel a lot better about Draft Pick - Ratliff - Melton - Houston... But the main issue is that is still a 1-deep Dline.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 11, 2014 -> 05:25 PM) I kinda like Houston, he doesn't add much to the pass rush, but he still adds an element this team could really use, and that's a guy that can stuff the run. Gotta get a solid pass rusher on the other side of the line and on the interior. Ideally that would mean something like Melton and Ealy or maybe they bring in a vet like Allen or even re-sign Peppers and paid them with Aaron Donald. If we let go Peppers I'm guessing there would not be an amicable reunion.

We also seemed to get everyone we targeted last year (and all these mid-level vets were getting next to no money). I don't want to pay big money for the 4th best FA DE.

Feeling less good to start FA than I felt last year around this time.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 11, 2014 -> 04:12 PM) If nothing else, it's good to see that teams can still hate each other in the NBA. Celts Lakers hated each other in 09-10

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Mar 11, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) So Washington post is reporting the passenger cellphones are still ringing. Does that even mean anything?

While I agree it's harsh, I think it negatively adds into the Hockey lore that these players should be playing with dangerous injuries because #hockeytough. I'm amazed at these players dedication and what they'll play through, but I don't think it will be cool to see them die on the ice because a broken rib punctures their lungs or artery or something.

When they got blown out by the Milwaukee Bucks I knew it was over. Usually even team full of retreads gets unusually hot for 3 games out of 34...not these dudes.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 11, 2014 -> 03:15 AM) How much you think he'll get now a days? If the Bears strike out on all the top tier DEs I'd rather sign him than a top tier safety. EDIT- man he's still only 28??? Feel like he was in his 30's. Ha, same. I thought he was on last legs and off an injury. He'll get paid. I too would prefer paying for CBs but on the other hand FA big money CBs have bombed horribly.

Thoughts on a Revis Flyer?

I think Bennett played it pretty perfectly. Around the Super Bowl, a lot of the chatter was that he'd definitely re-sign. He made it very clear that he'd test the market, but gave his team a fair shot and got a deal he liked at home.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 05:52 PM) A lot of those "allusions to a grand conspiracy" were viewers projecting what they wanted the story to be. I got into it too, but it turns out, it was just a love story between 2 men with a serial killer subplot. I thought it was hilarious. The audience got trolled. No it wasn't. It was explicitly in the show that those schools were being used to find and exploit the children, and that there was a "a place down south where a bunch of Rich Men get some good killin"... He threw the gasoline on the fire. I'm not talking about the Hbuntu actual supernatural theories, but there was too much to the broader scheme of the murders that basically just got resolved by saying "Wellp".

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 06:01 PM) @AdamSchefter Steelers will release LB LaMarr Woodley at 4 ET Tuesday, designate him a post June 1 casualty, per source. He will be free to sign Tuesday. Not sure I understand how that works. So he is released and free to sign, but it qualifies as a post-June 1 casualty? So he will still count against the cap until June 1? Why would we not do this with Peppers?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) Well, yes, the purpose of my post was simply to recognize the brief period where he was a monster. He's been s***ty for quite a bit now, and the NFL did its best to neuter the return game, but man, I will NEVER forget the opening kickoff of Super Bowl 41. Or the Cardinals game that we had no business winning, or the Broncos or Rams game where he brought 2 back to the house. It was insane those first 2 years having someone doing what he was doing.

I've always used != as well. Not a fan of using more symbols than necessary. Get with the times, man.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Mar 10, 2014 -> 04:55 AM) Basically, they did a good job fooling you and it didn't meet the demands of what you wanted it to be? I thought it was brilliant in that regard. So Pizzollato specifically says the purpose was not to fool people, but it is great because it did a great job fooling people. It had a show packed with weird allusions to a grand conspiracy, and how do they resolve it in an hour?
