NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

[NEVER SAY DIE]

"crystal falace 1:36 Thu Mar 10 We didn't have a QB last year either :-) In all seriousness though it'll take some superb coaching to get our current roster back challenging again next season. Division will be tougher for a start cos all three of the Raiders, Chiefs and Chargers have improved. Gutted to lose Jackson, think Os, CJ and Trevathan can be easily replaced, not with Sanchez though. Actually think the Sanchez trade is bait to use to get Kaep but we'll see."

"Miike, what are you hearing on Kam? I know that he thinks he should be on a much improved contract, but is it all kicking off again? Major piece of the Seahawks jigsaw, shiit!"

[Takashi Miike]

the Bears sign Trevathan

[Takashi Miike]

.........but the rumours about Kam Chancellor sound good

[Takashi Miike]

Vernon Davis visiting the Redskins today. is this a timewarp or April the 1st?

"I think you're right. After years and years in the wilderness, Brees really turned the team around, and you always want a hero to be able to leave on their own terms if possible."

El Scorchio 3:04 Thu Mar 10 New Orleans are okay with being bad. I think they would take that over dishonouring the guy that gave them their moment of goodness. My read from distance of course.

[El Scorchio]

"The other team would have to take on his cap number or work out an extension, I believe. His wages will make a trade very difficult, and at his age he's liable to fall off a cliff in terms of performance in the very near future. Doubt anyone who has the cap space to start with would think it's a worthwhile investment to take him on and lose a high draft pick. It's probably most likely he'll just get cut at some point rather than traded, there will be no shortage of suitors to take him on a short term deal through free agency."

[crystal falace]

"Can't have him on the cap at that price, but to extend him may leave theme xposed in future years if/when he has a peyton manning type drop off"

[ironsofcanada]

Not sure how it would work in a trade but his cap number is around $30M this year. Going to give him an extension to stretch that out.

[crystal falace]

"im sure there would be multiple teams who think they just need that ""elite"" QB to get them over the hump. not sure if Brees is one of the top top QBs any more though, seemed he had a lot of stats in garbage time last year."

[El Scorchio]

Be bloody lucky to get a first round pick in exchange for a 37 year old.

[ironsofcanada]

"crystal falace 2:47 Thu Mar 10 Probably from a purely football stand point, but what he means to that city probably not from a business/fan stand point. Not sure who would take his salary at this point."

[crystal falace]

"Irons, Do you think its about time to think about trading Brees for a first round pick? start rebuilding your team now as their is very little chance anything is going to happen before he retires anyway"

[ironsofcanada]

Wish I could get excited but I follow the Saints who are jettisoning probowl O linemen and little else.

[Mikey P]

Good to see the 49ers with all their cap space making early waves in Free Agency. Useless bastards.

[crystal falace]

"Jackson signed a huge deal with the Jags, think 2 of their 3 linebackers are free agents not sure if they have gone yet. CJ Anderson will be leaving"

[Takashi Miike]

"Jackson left didn't he? also Trevathan's on his way, though not signed yet"

[crystal falace]

cant see the Broncos doing much this year. have lost some big pieces on that defence and currently don't have a QB

[Takashi Miike]

im not sure he's great but he's a decent signing. the problem he'll have is a lack of targets outside Hopkins but Osweiler's definitely a big improvement on what they had last season

[crystal falace]

Early predictions Patriots vs Steelers AFC Championship Panthers Vs Seahawks NFC Championship

[crystal falace]

"Looked average at best for the Broncos but has potential, in a good situation with a strong defence, Lamar Miller at running back and Hopkins and Strong at receiver"

[bobbymoore]

"I will put my neck out now and say... ""Texans have made a great signing in Brock Osweiler"""

[crystal falace]

"didn't realise he'd gone already, been so many moves I must of missed it. Dion Lewis is more than enough just not sure he can stay healthy"

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, the Jets signed Forte. Ivory's gone to the Jaguars I think"
