Per Pat Shurmur HC of NYG - they will stick with Eli this year
Per Oakland GM they see Carr as Franchise Qb.....

 

[Phicinfan]

John Harbaugh HC Baltimore - said new offense will be tailored by Greg Roman to help Jackson the Qb, and that Gus Edwards is the #1 back right now, but they will look to add competition - Ty Montgomery and Buck Allen are FA this year, Alex Collins might not get tendered making him FA and leaving only Kenneth Dixon
Denver new HC has stated he plans to have Emmanual Sanders as a major part of the offense next year - so much for him being traded or cut...
Brian Flores new HC in Miami has stated no decision has been made on Tannehill as of yet - which tells me there has been.....or you would have totally backed him by now...

More juicy news:
Pittsburgh is getting more interest in A.Brown - GM stated 3 teams had reached out to him last week, more have now(although he did not clarify a number)
Philadelphia will NOT tag Foles - so he will be a UFA
Giants GM has stated "We did not sign him to an extension to trade him" to try and quell some of the OBJ trade talk
Vikings picked up the option on Mike Zimmer's contract so he is signed through 2020 now
Doug Marrone HC of Jacksonville sees Fournette as his work horse back - so they aren't trying to ditch him?

In today's funny a$$ news of the day...

Johnny Manziel has been cut by the Montreal Alouettes and banned from playing in the Canadian football league for life.

Apparently he violated the terms of his agreement to be allowed to play in the league. No word on the terms or what he violated exactly yet.

 

[Walter34]

He looked pretty good last year. Not sure if you guys know but I have seasons tickets for Ottawa in the CFL and saw Manziel play live. There aren't too many rules up here in the Great White North so not sure what he did.

 

[Phicinfan]

not alot of hard news, as everyone is focused on the combine this weekend.
A. Brown basically stated the comments by GM is part and parcel why he wants out - ain't his fault....
J. Houston is probably gone in KC - they will instead tag Ford
Jets may be willing to deal down from #3(they have their Qb) for the right price

Jags GM said he would in no way trade Cb Ramsey
Denver is expected to pick up the option years on Emmanuel Sanders WR and Derek Wolfe DL
Denver also plans to let Case Keenum think about what he wants to do - they won't keep him at the current salary, so are they hoping he takes a pay cut?

The MNF booth is going to fall apart without him.

More Boog!!! :dancingbanana:

 

[Phicinfan]

Witten un-retiring

Wow - I was not all that impressed with his booth work, so that may have driven this some.

Still, not sure he will help Dallas all that much.

 

[Phicinfan]

Seattle reports Doug Baldwin had both knee and shoulder surgery - knee issue was an issue at start of the year - shoulder came later

Rams will let Suh go into FA, but will keep an eye on him and may try to bring him back
Panthers plan to look for long term Qb depth in draft not FA - so drafting a Qb this draft is an option

San Fran Qb Jimmy Garoppolo should be back for OTA work this year
You all can feel better - Kyler Murray measured in at 5 feet, 10 1/8 inches and 207 lbs at combine - oh hands measured 9.5 inches

49ers are NOT one of the teams that have contacted Pittsburgh about A. Brown
Rams will monitor Todd Gurley's wear and tear more in the coming years - I wonder if there is some condition with his knees we don't know about? This may just be a thing.... since surgery won't fix it
Jay Gruden says he is fine with Colt McCoy being his starting Qb ... which is why GM and others are saying they may draft a Qb......

Alex Collins Rb Baltimore was arrested post his accident this morning where his car hit a tree. - no charges filed or released as of yet

 

[mudloggerone]

[MongerKhan]

Cowboys defensive lineman David Irving suspended indefinitely for violation of the NFL substance-abuse policy.

BAHAHAHA

 

[mudloggerone]

Updating an earlier report, free agent RB Alex Collins is facing three charges stemming from his arrest in Baltimore Friday morning.


Collins was taken into custody after crashing his Corvette into a tree about a mile from the Ravens' facility. The 24-year-old, who was released by the Ravens mere hours after his arrest, was cited for possession of more than 10 grams of marijuana, intent to distribute marijuana and possession of a handgun inside a vehicle. Intent to distribute marijuana is a felony while the other two charges are both misdemeanors. The 2016 fifth-rounder was released on $7,500 bail early Saturday morning following an initial court hearing. Collins is less than two years removed from a promising 2017 campaign but he'll probably have to resolve his legal issues before getting a look elsewhere. He can also expect a lengthy suspension.
