Morris has been getting worse every year, don't want anything to do with him.

Worse? Idk about that. But there must be some reason his snaps dropped every year. He's a talented player with good size and proven history. I'd take him if money is right in a heartbeat.

Floyd fanboys are making me laugh. Right now I would be happy with a body on the left hand side, with a beating heart preferably.

I know right? Floyd is a great player but, his style feels almost like cheating. But, you certainly can't deny he's the best defensive boxer of all time.

@NEPD_Loyko
Going to keep an eye on #Cowboys LB Rolando McClain. #Patriots could circle back around and try to strike another deal this year.

@NEPD_Loyko
#Patriots offered him a fairly significant 1-yr. deal relative to what they usually offer. Have an even bigger hole at ILB this off-season.

I'm not sure what type of running scheme Gruden is using but, he's ran for 3.9 YPC under him and 4.7 under Shanny's ultra running back friendly system. Might be mostly a product of that Shanny/Kubiak run scheme.

There are multiple ways to win a Super Bowl. The Broncos went wild in FA 2 years ago and they won a Super Bowl with a corpse playing QB. So I really don't want to see the "I can't stand it!" mocking anymore. Elway's strategy worked. I want some nice FAs (or trades) this year and will be disappointed if we don't.

Luck was the best player for Broncos in virtually all reg season games 2015.
And it was not Andrew. And it didnt cost a thing.

@Rapsheet
When Janoris Jenkins signs with the #Giants, it'll be worth more than $12M per year. Huge investment.

Butler's market just got set. And if he takes a 3rd year leap similar to Sherman/Revis, it'll be north of that.

I may want Powell more than Forte. Powell seems to be a perfect fit in the Patriots' offense. He can split time with Lewis.

 

[Kontradiction]

Obviously still need to see the guaranteed money but, on the surface, that looks like too many years and too much per year for a RB whose running style may lead to decline in year two or three of that contract.

Selling your soul to Goddell doesn't cost anything?!

Sorry, I have seen this in this thread. Sorry if it is a repost:




Sources: Patriots, Mohamed Sanu have expressed mutual interest

Yea and under Gruden last year he only averaged like 12 carries a game. Not enough for a player of his proven history. Seriously he had yard numbers up there with Jamaal Charles and Lesean Mccoy. He's a good player on a bad team getting under utilized.

 

[Froob]

I think we'll see a Patriots signing announced within an hour of the official start. I think they're keeping things under wraps for now. I'll guess Powell is signed today.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

There was nothing fluky about that Broncos defense.

Not fluky and pretty solid overall but they gave up nearly 300 points this year

Yeah, the guy fell off exponentially as the season went along last year. What is he going to do over the next three years.

No matter who they bring in, they still need to draft a RB or bring back Blount. I, personally, would go younger at the position. Jonathan Williams out of Arkansas is my favorite back in this draft and would be an ideal fit at the position. He creates yards after contact and doesn't need the full 2-3 steps that Blount requires to get a head of steam. He's also not coming off of injury either.

 

[Ross12]

Dude, the Jaguars are spending money like crazy. Did Khan just figure out how the salary cap works?

 

[Kontradiction]

Can we dump Cannon and that absurd contract now, please?

 

[Deus Irae]

I don't get the sudden Powell love.

If they pick up Powell, then they can afford to go young with their fourth/fifth RB. Lewis and Powell would get the majority of the carries. They will need a short yardage/goalline RB because both Lewis and Powell are too small.
