Sanders is good, but he's no Decker. They actually got worse on offense. Patriots need to counter with James Jones. Forget Lafell/Britt.

Sorry I posted mine after yours. I'm not trying to step on toes. I'm using an older, slower version of Firefox lately. It slows down my posting and reading, but it lets me read the site without any inclusion of those I've got on ignore, even when they're quoted by someone else.

I love that sort of functionality.

The Big 4 vs. Legiom of Bill matchup is complete:

D. Thomas vs. Revis
Sanders vs. Dennard
Welker vs. Arrington
J. Thomas vs. Browner

Advantage: LOB. Revis/Dennard can both neutralize their guys 1 on 1.

LOL, hate Elway all you want. But you gotta admit he is a GREAT CLOSER for signing free agents. Hate Denver, being a Pats fan, but I admire what Elway has done for that organization. Really impressive. I had no idea he had that kind of killer instinct as far as landing players.

Luckily our own offseason is going better than I ever dreamed it could. We landed Revis Island in Foxboro. We added Browner as our intimidator/banger at our other CB spot. And we got Edelman back to solidify our receivers.

We've got a few more moves to make, but the rest looks like gravy at this point. If we have a good draft, we are going for a championship run for sure THIS SEASON!

Finley expected to sign with Seattle once he receives medical clearance.

Free agent Jermichael Finley left his Seahawks visit without a contract, but the sides have "mutual interest" in a deal.
Per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks are waiting for Finley to gain full medical clearance from his neck surgery before signing him. Finley hasn't scheduled any other visits, and it's possible his Seattle signing is a formality upon getting the green light health-wise

@alexmarvez: As usual, @AdamSchefter is dead-on. Source confirms to @FOXSports1 that @Broncos agreed to contract terms with @steelers WR Emmanuel Sanders

 

[VJCPatriot]

I would like to see Owen Daniels on a prove it deal here in NE. His performance declined with the Texans which is why they cut him, not to mention he had a 6.5m salary too.

If he signs for cheap, and passes health inspection, could turn out to be a solid backup for Gronk. Also since he was released by Houston, he wouldn't count for purposes of a comp draft pick.

If we sign no FA tight ends. Expect the position to be targeted in the upcoming draft.

For someone that brags about his hyper-aggressive posting style (throwing around unnecessary insults at anyone that disagrees with him).. he sure can't take it.

I would like to see the rest of the offseaon go something like this:
Sign Uche Nwaneri- could start at RG
Sign Brandon LaFell- solid backup WR
Sign Robert Ayers- 3rd DE, rotating body for CJ\Ninko
Sign LeGarrette Blount- Could share snaps with Ridley
Sign Alex Carrington-3tech share snaps with Kelly, Armstead, CJ94
Sign Letroy Guinon- Backup NT(better than Vellano)
Draft
1. DT- Need interior pass rush
2. OG- start at RG, eventual replacement for Mankins
3. TE- Backup TE
4. LB- 4th LB
6. WR
6. WR
7. LB

Notes-
- Wilfork would be released
- Siliga would start at NT
- RG training camp battle between 2nd rounder and Nwaneri
- Harmon would start at SS
- Kelly, Carrington, Armstead and CJ provide good depth at DT
- Ridley, Blount good duo with Vereen as 3rd RB
- Connolly would start at Center
- 3WR, 1TE system

People are pissed about it too. Judging from the reaction over at Chiefsplanet, I don't think that agent should hit the BBQ joints in the K.C. area anytime soon.

I'm not sure I see skill in bringing a guy to a SB contender by paying a lot more than anyone else will.
It reminds me of Storage Wars when the buyers act like they did something smart by being the highest bidder and blowing a ton of money on crap.

There's noway Broncos are going to be able to afford both Thomas' and Miller next offseason right?

 

[danmateus]

Interesting turn of events. Just thinking that if the Patriots had done this to the Chiefs then people like Borges would be telling us how shady and underhanded Bill is for stealing a player away even though it's the players decision to go back on a verbal agreement but since it's Elway I'm sure there will be no media criticism for his role in this. Just saying...
