2nd NE Pick The Patriots then followed up on Rivers by selecting Troy tackle Antonio Garcia at No. 85, after trading Nos. 96 and 124 to Detroit to move up. Some interesting tidbits: Antonio Garcia Troy OT • r/NFL_Draft Moves his feet very quickly. Great Great hand usage. Has a nice snap down...

My bad. No games missed. After Week 16. Out of practice during the 2 weeks before AFC Div.

We shouldn't forget Blount was never quite the same last year after his extended bout of illness late last season. Not sure how long it was, I think 3 weeks? Came back around week 14? Come to think about it, no one is even sure what it was. edit: Undisclosed illness, did not practice during...

And yes, you gotta love the cap impact of having 3 capable IOL on those sweet sweet rookie deals. ;) Probably 15M+ in savings right there.

Yes, although NE can usually plug in any ole rookie RB, there is a 1yr or 2yr growth period, and more than a few flame outs with FA's or rooks. BB is loading up on "sure" things, or as much as you can get in the NFL. I think as to why, we are seeing are two contributing factors: 1) NE has the...

Jose Baez?

No, I meant the verdict of a murder (or other) trial being used to determine player contract violation/status. But hey, it IS the NFL. It must have happened before.

Isn't the five year limitation thing, only if action has not been taken? For example the civil case is still in effect as long as it was brought forth within time. IANAL

Well that's true unless there is anyone he can flip on? That equipment guy better watch out... You know they're already laying "evidence" to point at someone else.

Well, jurors don't usually have that option. Hence the poll. Depending on your take, "guilty, found innocent" or "innocent, found innocent" or if you think your opinion is a locked and a minority and you wouldn't be budged, "hang" the jury. It's all up to you! What fun.

Yes I agree with that, in effort of brevity I also meant smaller version possessor of Blount-like capabilities of RB duties. Esp. Goal-line.

Did I say that? haha, I've been taken out of context. By they, I meant NE. But yes how much BUF values him as well is important too. Good point.

Agreed, just front load the contract. But it'd have to be a pretty big chunk change to effectively block BUF. It's a question of how much they like him as a player. If he's a 3 yr, 3-4 down guy, you could probably make it work. 4.5M/1M/1M or something for example might preclude BUF from...

That's funny. Oh no! What have we done, we've poisoned ourselvesssseesss... oo nooo. You're right though. It'd have to be something like: "if we suck and the team doesn't make the playoffs, here's a 3m bonus, nice job buddy!"

"Hey goddell, go f*** yourself!" Rhymes? What English Lit class you be taking? :)

Decided to see how "weak" the afce division really was. I figured a quick test would be to look at outside the conference games over 4 yrs. So teams could play every other conf once. Remove the best team from each division and see how string the rest of the teams fared. Results are below. 4yrs...

Fixed: Ray Lewis, Guilty of killing a guy. Found innocent. (rolled in crim, settled in civil).

Has there ever been any precedent like this before in the NFL? Strange times. If it's a hung jury / mistrial, I'd assume we'd need to wait another year or longer for case and then the cap issue to settle. By the time it's figured out 3M might be only worth 1.5M in new/current NFL dollars. We...

Too soon? edit: I agree, a bit dark. Admins feel free to move. Or just kil.. delete it altogether. Hey after 28-3, I'm in a good mood. :D But how crazy is it that we have cap room decided on this. But yes, to f--k with that guy.

What does everyone think? Might be hung jury. Remember NE has about 3M in cap room riding on this. Facts of the case: No verdict in ex-NFL star's murder trial after 3rd day
