Around the NFL - 2013

[ice grillin you]

its not a steal when he would have been on the open market tomorrow....but its fairly smart to give up the pick so that you dont have any competition for him

[MDS]

it is...if you can get a legit player, even if hes only going to have you 1 competent year, its more than worth it

6th round is beyond a crapshoot. just eyeballing the 07 08 09 drafts i saw 2 kickers and pierre garcon as the only players of note. i also saw rashard barksdale.

Great trade by SEA to get Percy. Couple him with the other weapons and that's a legit O.

Also a very good deal by SF to get Boldin.

Ed Reed rumored to be going to SF too.

The Seahawks are legit contenders.  Young talent, tenacious defense, throw in a few grizzled vets and these guys are going to contend with the Niners for the NFC.  They'll be right on their ass.  I'd be doing cart wheels if I were a Seahawks fan.

Niners are turning into the Yankees.

[Diomedes]

Niners are turning into the Yankees.

What?  How do you mean?

[Sgt PSN]

Yeah, I'm not sure about that one either. 

[Don Ho]

That was a poor choice by using the Yankees.  I didn't mean in a bad evil empire way.  I see Seattle signing some high quality free agents and becoming a destination where a lot of vets would like to play.  Seattle is going to be a force.  Could say the same about SF.  They've both built one hell of a foundation.  Unlike the Eagles who tried the free agent binge in 04 and the past few years, Seattle and SF are run by people who get it.  Not a big fan of either head coach but both are taking their teams far.

Too bad we don't have the Niners front office guy or a coach from the Pac-12

[Rome]

Zing!

[BigEd76]

Looks like the following are likely to happen when FA starts:

-- Mike Wallace to Miami
-- Reggie Bush to Detroit
-- Avril to Indy
-- Freeney to Denver
-- Kruger to Cleveland

prank call by two teens actually leads to incredibly boring convo between Bills GM Buddy Nix and Bucs GM Mark Dominik

Didn't realize Nix was more redneck than Buddy Ryan.  At least it confirms that Fitzpatrick's front office hates him too, not just the fans

[ice grillin you]

in the least surprising news ever tony gonzalez decided he will play next season

[Sgt PSN]

Is Nix the guy who gave Fitzpatrick his contract or was that someone else?  I think it's pretty damn funny that it's out there in the open that the Bills are all but ready to cut him loose. 

[BigEd76]

Yup, had one of those "farg, I shouldn't have done that" moments two years ago

Seattle released Leon Washington in case anyone wants a return specialist
