.....with Philly trading Shady McCoy to Buffalo for Kiki Alonso. Wow! Chip Kelly clears a lot of cap space, but it's still a shock to see Shady go. Good news for the NFC East though.

I would love for Big Blue to team Suh with JPP, but his asking price is too high.

Andre Johnson is out of Houston. I hope we trade him and get something for him.

The Lions are stupid to keep $uh for his price. They could pay four or five starters for what he is asking, including keeping Fairley in the middle. They are my (2nd) fav team, but they are stupid enough to keep him (watch). Nobody on DEF should be making more that JJ Watt.

The Steelers are apparently set to part ways with Troy Polamalu. The end of an era. Troy has lost a step but I feel that Dick LaBeau asked Troy to do too much in that defense especially the last few years as the secondary weakened. I still feel he can play at a good level for 2 years if picked up by a team that already has a good secondary.

I miss the old Troy

Troy is an extremely physical player and it eventually caught up with him. As much as I love him as a player, I would rather see him retire as a Steeler. There was speculation that he may follow LeBeau...I ope not.

I don't want him to be like Marino, who I feel played two years too long, which didn't do the dolphins any favors.

The Titans are now the new Arizona Cardinals. Ken Whisenhunt is the head coach and now they have Dick LaBeau. I hope Troy retires as a steeler and I hope they pick up Cortez Allen and Ike Taylor.

The Eagles front office done lost their damn mind. I know the rule is RB are a dime or dozen but you have to pull a rabbit out your ass to get one who is as productive and all purpose as Shady. Smart to upgrade the middle of their defense but dumb to part ways with Shady.

Chip thinks he's the smartest person in the room, we'll see if that's true or not.

He'd better be right on these moves, if not he won't like his stay here in Philly!

Now the Eagles have cap space to address their defensive woes. Landing Byron Maxwell would be sweet.

Chip..............this isn't COLLEGE FB.

The Bears trade thier BEST player 2 the Jets. Brandon Marshall.

WTH is going on in Chicago?

Suh to the Dolphins

phunkdaddy said:

And now the Eagles are parting ways with Jeremy Maclin. I really, really hope Chip knows what he's doing.

So far my biggest surprise is Gore.

It's a risky move.....stay away from other teams free agent RBs, especially ones over 30 (Gore is 31). He's has a lot of mileage on those legs, plus he's had injury problems.

phunkdaddy said:

Suh maybe a headcase but he is far from overrated. Since he's entered the league he leads all DT's with 36 sacks. He is someone offenses must account for on the field and often commands double teams.

IMO, the only defensive player better than Suh is JJ Watt. Like Watt, Suh is a game-wrecker. His performance in the playoff game against Dallas was insane.

Waiting to hear about Revis....

According to WFAN, there's some big news coming from the 49ers about a key player(and it's not related to Cap). Stay tuned. Man that team just fell apart, and they were right on the verge of winning it all.

Patrick Willis to retire!

Is it the injury or he just don't want to be a part of the 49er circus anymore.

I also saw rumors floating around about Kaepernick being put on the trade block.

I wouldn't mind if the Steelers picked up Steven Jackson as a back up for Bell.

Willis is supposed to give his reasons today. Justin Smith retired too....HUGE blow to the 49ers.

Shane Vereen to my Giants....love it. The cat does everything, including picking up the blitz.

How on Earth can a team with such promise fall off a cliff so fast?

I'm not crying for the 49ers....they had their chances - three straight trips to the NFC championship and one Super Bowl appearance and nothing to show for it.
