NFL Postseason Megathread: Playoffs in the Post-Orton Era

[sbr]

Revis back to the Jets as the highest paid corner, 5 years $70 million ($39 mill guaranteed).

Jake Locker retired, which is a bit surprising.  Dude could have made another couple of million easy carrying a clipboard but says he doesn't love the game anymore and doesn't want to cheat the team who might have signed him. Hell of a player for the Huskies but didn't have a body built for football.

Well then Chip Kelly is crazy.  The Eagles better hope he is crazy like a fox.

I don't know what the hell is going on there.  There are rumors that this is the first step in a package to move up to the Jets spot to get Mariota.

You have to assume he has no idea what he is doing, nor should he, he has no business being in charge of all player personnel decisions for an NFL team at this point in his career, but I am so used to him being right and the smartest person in the room I am kind of waiting for this all to work out and see the Eagles competing for a Super Bowl next year.

Rams traded Bradford to the Eagles for Foles and a draft pick of some sort.

So Mark Sanchez will get lots of playing time then.

Daveracher!

Maybe Chip Kelly feels the same way about Nick Foles that Jim Harbaugh did about Alex Smith.

Harbaugh had someone to replace Smith with

And now so does Kelly.

Former Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith is signing a five-year, $40 million contract with the San Francisco 49ers, according to league sources. The deal includes $22 million guaranteed.

That's a lot of money for a #2 with 49 catches and 767 yards, man.  Now San Francisco has two #2s.

Well, if they can trade San Diego for Jacoby Jones, they'll accomplish their goal of getting the whole set of wideouts that beat them in the Superbowl.

Losing Revis and Vareen, not unexpected, but significant blows.

Bengals signed AJ Hawk.  I'm okay with it, I guess.

meh he is taking over Crabtree spot, so if it is less than what he signs for I'm fine.
The talk for most off season was WR in draft anyways.

Yeah, but Crabtree was a #1 wide receiver;  the Ravens tried to make Torrey Smith a #1 WR for the last two years, and he failed.  He is just a burner that takes pressure off real receivers.   I hope they are in the market for finding their #1 WR in the draft, as having two #2s with no Frank Gore is going to make things tough for Copernicus.

[katmai]

no Crabtree hasn't been a #1 for few years. He was barely #3 last year.
And I liked what I saw out of Hyde, the biggest concern at RB with Gore leaving is depth.

And Andre Johnson signs with the Colts just like I said.  If you can't beat 'em join 'em.

It's a better window for winning than the other ones you said, New England or whoever, although this was probably partially out of spite, since he probably could have also gone to places like Seattle. Doesn't make a shit either way.  Texans offloaded a gigantic contract for their #2, Colts replaced Reggie Wayne. 

E:  Speaking of Andre Johnson, Courtland Finnegan got on Twitter and said he hits like a bitch (right after he retired).  That guy just can't shut his face.
