Know the Redskins are lined up for Chase Young and have good edge rushers already, but usually it's someone like them or the Raiders that have made this signing...

I believe that play in college where he "blew up" that QB hurt him as much as helped him. People expect a "blow up" on every rush.

Lol not in any way interested in signing Brandin Cooks, but thought this was funny;

Proves the guy is a serial whiner when he doesnt get his own way.

I hope the Saints take a flyer on a mid/lower tier FA linebacker. AJ Klein left a void at a position of need. FWIW, I'd call Clay Matthews.

Maybe coaches are confident in Ellis, Anzalone

Meanwhile Cash money Clowney is still out there in FA land and so is E Griffen.

Forgot Griffin took a year away to improve his mental health. They may be a player only the Vikings know how to handle....

Definitely need a LBer. I'm ready for a youth movement though. Maybe Marcus Golden could play LB but otherwise not many FAs out there..

Yeah, Payton gets lazy with using the veteran-heavy roster. Belichick and Patriots paid key, skilled, mature, veterans, the rest they rotated out, rebuild through the draft - thought we were going that way after '17 draft...

But I'd like to see min. six (6) to eight (8) rookies, young players added every year so that roster will stay young, strong for the long playoff runs...

So this happened today; guess we can take him off the list...
