5 to 1 Forte will be a PAT.

With respect to Lorig, I get what your saying Fin, but how they figured his game would translate from the Bucs offense to our offense is where I'd have questions and what the team's thoughts were...

True, but at least on paper he was an upgrade over Jeb.

Yep, and Tampa fans weren't happy about losing him. He just didn't work out here.

Like you said, on paper, it looked like a really good move. He had Dave Thomas upside.

The Miami Herald believes the Dolphins should release Jordan Cameron.

Cameron is due a non-guaranteed $7.5 million. Releasing him could be the only option if he doesn’t accept a pay cut. Cameron had just a 35/386/3 line his first season in Miami

For the Browns to let him walk despite his popularity with a hostile fan-base; and now possibly being released by Miami - that just creates more questions than answers...

...especially with limited cap space...

Late round pick for Josh Gordon. Give him incentive based contract. Worth the risk.

I'd snatch him & wouldn't look back. Take it a step further ... maybe a conditional pick? This is a game changing WR with speed and size.

This young stud is a BEAST.

Brees better restructure.

We've already cut a few including Evans and Hawthorne.

I would like to get these guys:

Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, Giants

Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Jets

Tamba Hali, OLB, Chiefs

but I would not overpay for any of them.

I would keep these guys at cut rates only:

Browner, Byrd, Spiller, Cadet, Wilson and Flynn

I would let all Free agents go otherwise. We need a backup for Brees. I would sign Ostweiler or get a QB high in the draft maybe at 12 to replace him in the next 2 years.

I might resign Watson as a backup along with Michael Hoomanawanui but both would take big pay cuts and we would need a better than average Tight End in Free Agency to take as over number one.

Akiem Hicks is listed as New England's top free agent???

NT Damon Harrison - most under rated NT in the NFL buy still the cost?
DT Nick Fairley - he has kept his nose
CB Casey Hayward - always loved this kids game

WLB Tahir Whitehead
WLB Nigel Bradham - pondering this one. his production was down last year
WLB Sean Weatherspoon - veteran minimum?
SS Isa Abdul-Quddus

TE Coby Fleener or Dwayne Allen
OG/OC Stefen Wisniewski
