Re: Nfl Draft - Free Agency
Oh I'm pretty sure Elway was hoping to tank the season & get Luck. That's why he always remained reserved when speaking to the surprising season Tebow had. Saying, well we won the game, but need some improvement in play, and well we'll take a look at the end of the season. Why heck you just won 5 in a row after starting 1-3, you should be jumping for joy!!
Yeah, a friend of mine live near Atlanta & went to UGA. The SEC seems completely upside down in that college football rules those states & cities. Pretty cool, different, but cool.

There's so much history with the Dolphins, plus Florida has three major college football teams that the pro teams can thrive pretty well with the Gator, FSU and Hurricane fanbases are pretty well split within the state. Floridians aren't tied to just one colege team.
And Randy Moss just signed a one year deal with the 49ers. And expect them to draft a WR early in the draft.
Re: Nfl Draft - Free Agency
Yeah, they traded two second rounders for him. With the WR class weakened by Colston and Stevie Johnson resigning with their teams, I'd figure they at least get a 2 out of another team. I don't think they'd get a first rounder as he has too many off field issues.
Either they go after another WR (cough VJax), rebuild from the ground up or are supremely confident that they are going to get Manning. Otherwise the move makes little sense.
Great move by the Bears getting him on the cheap like that. I think this does take them a bit out of the Mario Williams chase though as Marshall has a cap figure of 9 million. Better move would be to go for Eric Winston who got released yesterday by the Texans.
Moss gets to face the Rams twice a year and stick it to Fisher for benching him in Tennessee.
Mario Williams is visiting BUF tonight. Can't see him immediately signing there without visiting other teams (TEN, SEA, JAX, ATL and others). Meachem is also visiting Buffalo.
Pierre Garcon in negotiations with Redskins (and Rams). This will turn out well. Or not.
Re: Nfl Draft - Free Agency
Garcon signed with Skins for 8 million a year. Apparently, Winston is visiting Miami. Makes sense as he was a "U" guy.
Vincent Jackson about to sign with TB for a big amount.
Skins also about to sign Josh Morgan, former 49er.
Brandon Carr to visit Dallas. I can't see Jerry not opening up the wallet for him considering he just dumped Terrence Newman.
Rams hosting a bunch of former Titans.

The WR market is now weak, with the big WR being Reggie Wayne (not shabby, by any means, but he's in his 30's) and next years WR class is going to S-U-C-K. The QB's will be better next year, also. Maybe just sign Brady Quinn for a year.
I don't know, this isn't looking too good.
Tampa is going to be friggin STACKED at WR though.

Re: Nfl Draft - Free Agency
Meachem played the Bills. Mario Williams seems to be taking them seriously though, and they've targeted Mario Manningham now too, although he's not the big stretch threat that they lack. David Nelson does a good job in the slot, which is where Manningham has had his best performances.
Excited to see Manning avoiding the AFC East. Miami must be going crazy. They're going to be left with no option but to overpay Matt Flynn, who could just be another Kevin Kolb. That team wants a QB. Cleveland looks like they'll be empty handed at QB.
Cowboys signing Kyle Orton is a quiet move that I really liked today. He's an excellent back-up for their situation.
