NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

Washington is the leading candidate to land Sproles

I love Sproles but I don't think we need him

I would not support that considering how many needs they have.

dont ask whitner to cover anyone and youll be ok. tight ends stay eating this dude alive. :x

To be fair though, some of those hits he made were pre-2009 hits - meaning he wouldn't be flagged for them if it wasn't for these new soft *** NFL rules.

Kam hits better than Whitner ever did and doesn't get many flags.  You just have to not go for the head like a dumbass.

"@AdamSchefter: And now, as @ProFootballTalk reported, Seattle's deal with DE Michael Bennett is done. Expect it to be four years, about $34 million."

Great deal for the Seahawks, guess he did give them a discount

Discount? How much was he projected to make? This comes out to about $8M per year

Well it's in the range (potentially less) than what Everson Grifffen got from Minnesota...  I'd much rather have Bennett than Everson Griffen.  Though we don't know the guaranteed money yet.

More importantly it's in the range of what the Seahawks can afford to pay this year with upcoming contracts in mind.  Which is great.  

 

[Ricky D]

Oh ok. Just seemed like a lot. I didn't realize how highly he was valued

 

[buc em]

I'd like to see a team with Donte Whitner, EJ Biggers, Bernard Pollard, and Shiloh Keo. I'm picturing a bunch of guys aimlessly running in random directions and attempting to hit whatever is near them. Like playing rookie on Madden.

I don't ever wanna hear EJ Biggers name again.....

 

[yvespo3]

I thought Bennett was going to get around 9-10 a year, at least more than Everson

@MartysaurusRex: So much for those California king bunk beds I was designing @mosesbread72

  oh man

 

[ii flash ii]

I don't get it

 

[100027]

I don't get it

Martysaurus being Michael Bennett's bro on the Bears, Martellus

 

[elpablo21]

Martellus is an interesting dude to say the least

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Seattle just helped the Raiders talk sense into Houston's agent about his price tag

 

[do work son]

16 million guaranteed

 

[100027]

16 million guaranteed

Minny really went crazy giving Everson $20m guaranteed then.

 

[100027]

Adam Rapaport is reporting the number is actually $28.5 million, with $10m in the first year.

So that breaks down to just over $7 miliion per year...  wow.  

  

 

[buc em]

McCluster, Michael Johnson and Anthony Collins will be Bucs.

Heads up for those with Sunday Ticket, I just did some work on my bill with Directv, if you sign up for some sort of early renewal thing, instead of 6 months at 39.99, you can sign on for 8 months of 21.99. (240 bucks vs 176 bucks give or take)

So if any of you tryin to keep your NFL costs down a lil bit, give them a call and make them give you the deals.

BTW, they initially offered 8 payments at 24.99 and I hesitated and made it like I would call back, before I hung up he went down to the 21.99 deal and I went for that. Maybe I shoulda waited, but like I've said before, I would pay 500+ for Sunday ticket if they charged me, so 175 is perfectly fine by me.

Vernon Davis would disagree

 

[red80]

Donte is probably p4p biggest hitter. He's a not a big guy and he lays some big dudes out. Will never forget him KTFOing Pierre at the goal line in the 2011 playoffs vs Saints.

Kam is the biggest+ fastest strong safety ive ever seen so it's not a fair comparison. Dude was trailing Kap on that long run in the NFCC and ran him down like nothing.

 

 

[Retto]

And looks like Smitty may well be on his way out of Carolina... :\

Kap thought he was gone too, then Kam just came outta nowhere. That's one of the most impressive chase downs I've ever seen. The whole defense was beat, and Kam had to turn around and chase him.

If Steve Smith gets cut, the Panthers receivers are guys named Tavarres King, Marvin McNutt, and RJ Webb. They make $1.5 million — combined.

Free Cam Newton. :x
