I don't know what i'm angrier about. These roster moves, or the fact that Stephen A Smith has a paying job in sports 'journalism'.

Yeah its not like they didn't give $25M guaranteed money to Byron Maxwell who is black.

I understand the perspective but there is a rather large caveat in there. Believing that Maclin will be properly replaced. I don't think a rookie can step in and replicate his production immediately. Signing a stop-gap, aging WR place-holder seems ridiculous when they had a perfectly capable dude on the roster already. It all just seems unnecessary.

take into account that he played the slot and had like 50 less targets and as a rookie jordan matthews basically produced on a level like mack...look at the rookie class of wr's last year and what they did...its not hard to get wr's who can produce in todays nfl and especially not in chips system

again the major concern as you said is whether chip properly addresses the wr's...and when he doesn't do that ill be first in line to destroy him...but we need to get to may before we judge this offseason

You know what would have been neat? Having Matthews and Maclin as your starters. Good thing they let him walk instead of paying him an extra 1% of the salary cap that they're definitely going to use all of. Yes sir.

mack and matthews for any money arent dynamic....bringing back mack at the kind of money he got would have been dumb...hes simply not worth that...even if they don't replace him letting him go was the right move at that price

the salary cap that they're definitely going to use all of. Yes sir.

you don't want to use all the cap money cause you are going to need a bunch of it to resign your own players that are approaching the end of their deals

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well he'll probably trade Kendricks and they'll let Boykin walk so they don;t have to pay them.

Fletcher Cox is going to bankrupt this team. I'm glad there's nobody left on offense so that they can afford to keep him.

i don't know maybe its just me but I dont think the difference between a superbowl next year and purgatory was jeremy macklin

[PhillyPhreak54]

Fletcher Cox should be penalized for having a Mustang and putting a Chevy motor it in.

So long as you draft an actual WR and not Josh Huff.

Ahh, modern football. Why do people buy active player jerseys? I picked up a Maclin jersey for my kid, but it was less than $20, so I'm still okay with that. But for me? I'd buy a retired player, like Dawkins, but other than that? What's the point? It's like real-life fantasy football these days.
