I love how wake acts like he knows all the inside information haha. 

hes a regular old brian williams 

WakeOfAshes

I didnt act like I had any inside information. All I said was a read some article on ESPN that was talking about that. You're making it sound like no way AP leaves Minn, and im just saying there are lots of people talking about how he is done playing there.

So now they got Marshall and Harvin. No way they keep Geno Smith. You know they're about to draft Mariota if they can.

He's not going to be on the board. They are going to go 1 & 2

Tennessee isn't going to take Mariota. Not a Whisenhunt-style quarterback. I don't think he falls past New York, though. Either the Jets take him and keep him or trade the pick to Philly for a king's ransom.

Rex_Capone420

No but someone willing to take him will trade up. About 5 teams need QB's and their is a consensus that these guys are head and shoulders above the other guys.

Maxwell probably wont be a hawk next Tuesday

Wouldn't mind seeing him in a Lions uniform if Suh takes his talents to South Beach.

Rex_Capone420

The only way I can see suh coming back is if he agreed to let the match any offer.

*over

That's what the legal tampering period is for. If Monday comes and he's not re-signed I assume he's gone. They'll know by then what overs the other teams have on the table.

Make an over )

Brandon Marshall just got traded to the jets

Jets are probably the last team I'd want to play for if I was a player. Mostly because of the dysfunction of the organization. Seems like they are more into making tabloid type news media then they are about winning games.

Todd Bowles is the man though.  Hope he does well there.  If Rex and Bowles can't get a team properly run in that organization, then no one can.

I just had an 'oh shit' moment thinking about FA's or trades that could possibly happen. Perhaps this isnt a possibility (Im not seeing it anywhere else), however it's no secret that Peterson is pretty sour on Minnesota.... What if he somehow landed in Indy. can you imagine?

Randall Cobb back to the Packers. I didn't expect or want the Lions to get him, but I really wanted him to leave Green Bay.

Rex_Capone420

Suh is going to Miami on a 114 mil 60 million guaranteed deal 

I guess it was quite a bit more than anything else he was being offerered.

its a bit of a bummer but ) at the cap situation that contract is going to give them )

Rex_Capone420

19 mill a year ) dumb fucks 

JLRedWing13

It's gotta be a 7 year deal. I can't imagine them giving him 19 million a year....

Rex_Capone420

That's what espn is reporting that it's a 6 year deal

JLRedWing13

If it's 6 years then they can have him. No way in hell any non-quarterback should be paid that amount of money.

Rex_Capone420

Guess wake was right. One team was willing to give it to him. Thank god we didn't. Now we have cap flexibility in our future. 

JLRedWing13

That's insanity. inb4Ed but 19 million/year and over half of it guaranteed is not worth it.

FIRENATHANIELHACKETT

19 million a year for a DT

JLRedWing13

He's getting $60 million for the first 3 years. Yikes.

Part of me sort of understands, though.  That team probably feels like they are an inside pass rush away from being able to compete with NE.  Suh is a hell of a way to get that done.

They're not an inside pass rush away, though.
