NFL Offseason Thread

This is nice, especially for Timmy,  Stattracker will be free this year.

I wonder why?  Yahoo never does anything out of kindness.

Probably because ESPN has given out free stat tracking for years, I would imagine Yahoo! is losing customers to ESPN.  I know that is why the 2 fantasy baseball league I am in moved to ESPN this year.

It's a nice payday for a guy that can run fast in no pads at the combine.

"Sports agent Alvin Keels tweeted the deal had $23.5 million guaranteed and $38.25 million in base salary with a maximum value of $54 million, according to his league source."

I hoping the Raiders waive DHB.  Bitch thinks he deserves a big pay day.  He spent almost all of the workout days sitting in the trainer's room nursing hamstring injuries.  Hey pal, all you have going for you is speed, if you can't run you're fucking useless.

Any idea how much they signed him for?  I haven't seen any numbers yet.

Wow that's insane

Got a $5 bet with a coworker over who signs Vick;  I say the Raidahs, he says the Cowboys.  Any other possibilities out there, you think?

[Ed Anger]

Supposedly the bungles were mildly interested, but with Carson looking out for his kid brother, I doubt there is really a spot for him.

[Barrister]

I can't see either.

The Raidahs may love taking in rejects, but they haven't given up on Russell yet.  The Cowboys haven't given up on Romo either.

Even if they do give up on Russell, didn't they sign Jeff Garcia?

Did they?

Poor Jeff... 

[Ed Anger]

The Raiders need Jeff George.

The Patriots wouldn't shock me; Belichek loves versatile players and they have strong enough leadership to keep Vick from getting sideways at all.  They are one of the few teams to still be considering him.  I also think they like to take on "troubled" players and turn them around; see Dillon, Cory and Moss, Randy.

[Ed Anger]

Hopefully, the pats will sign vick, and his new batch of dogs will maul Brady.

[Barrister]

googling "michael vick team rumors" the two that get mentioned on the first page were Seattle and New England.

Both make more sense than the Raiders or Cowgirls.  A team with a strong #1 who wouldn't be threatened, but be willing to gamble on a troubled #2 or #3.

If anyone can return the Raiders to relevance, it's Garcia.  Really, it's offensive stability that they need.  Their D isn't terrible, but the awesomeness and will to win of Garcia might pay dividends.

Why would Vick play in New England?  They wouldn't pay him what a shittier team would, and he'd have to live in the most racist part of the US six months out of the year, which wouldn't be good for his recovery.
