    I doubt Brady plays 5 more years. If he wins his 5th i could see him retiring in 2-3 years. I think when it gets to the point where he realizes he wont be able to win again he will hang it up. I know he says he wants to play deep into his 40's but we'll see if he changes his tune when he inevitably starts to fall off.

    Cowboys didn't pick up Melton's option, looking more like we are going to draft a DT in the 1st than DE. If that's the case than we need to pick up a solid DE in free agency for a fair price and they're definitely some options for us.

    Really don't want to franchise Dez but the farther we get into the off season the more likely it's going to happen. Good thing is that we actually don't need to restructure Romo's contract in order to sign Dez and Murray. Dez I for sure want signed long term, Murray only if it's for the right price. He says it's not so much about the money, if he thinks the Cowboys give him the best shot at winning a championship, he's going to stay. Hope he stays true to those words.

    The Jags have so much money to spend it's ridiculous, I really think we're gonna go after a big name receiver, Cobb and/or Julius Thomas. Really don't want Thomas I'm not too kean on throwing money at physical, injury prone Tight Ends (see Marcedes Lewis). I don't know why in god's name Cobb would leave the Packers for us but I'm hoping somehow we can overpay him because we have way too much money to spend and literally the best receiving core in the NFL possibly if Blackmon is allowed back.

    We'd have Cobb/Blackmon/Allen Robinson/Marquise Lee/Allen Hurns and we could probably re-sign Shorts for cheap. 99% chance Cobb won't sign with us but hey.

    Same situation with Devin McCourtey lol but we could easily make him the highest paid Safety in the NFL and f--- the Pats up while they try and re-sign Revis.

    Eagles offseason priorities imo..

    1. Fix the secondary. 3/4 starters should be replaced, everyone except Malcolm Jenkins. Use our Top 2-3 draft picks on DBs and sign a high profile free agent.

    2. Re-sign Jeremy Maclin. He was our best player last season. Pay the man. If we can get an upgrade at the #2 receiver spot over Riley Cooper I'd take that too.

    3. The QB situation. I'd love to trade up and get Mariota but it's not gonna happen. Foles deserves another shot with a healthy offensive line infront of him. He'll be our starter. Sanchez will most likely leave for more money and a chance to start. So we need to add a reliable backup QB.

    Do you guys really need another WR though? lol I think the most important thing for the Jags this year is to make sure Bortles is progressing but you also have to help the kid out. He was pressured way to much last year, Jags need to upgrade their O Line, especially the tackles and Center, Guards I think are alright. Should also look at adding another potential pass rusher and or corner back on defense.

    We really only need a RT and C. We'll more than likely make Bryan Bulaga a big offer but Luke Joekel is still our LT now gonna be 2 years removed from being 3rd overall pick and ppl forget that last year was his rookie season basically. Brandon Linder was one of the best rookie guards last year he's not going anywhere, Zane Beadles is on a big deal, we won't replace him this offseason (and don't really need to) so I see us signing or at least attempting to sign a new starting RT but that's it for starters on the line in free agency, we'll probably draft a Center.

    Our draft position obviously puts us in great position to get a D-Lineman, woulda been the one year where a top OT prospect woulda been better but I'm not gonna complain about Leonard Williams or Randy Gregory.

    I do think it would be good to sign a big-name vet WR because we really need one especially not counting on Blackmon coming back with how young our WR's our. Cecil Shorts was supposed to be that guy but after last season it's obvious he's never gonna be a reliable #1 WR. Gus Bradley/Caldwell need to make a splash this offseason, this next year could be their last if we don't make a significant improvement, and we have plenty of money to go after a lot of big names.

    NFL reported that a Patriots attendant ATTEMPTED to sneak in an unapproved ball into the K-balls or known as special teams balls during AFC Championship game.

    NFL has nothing on the Pats and now they're just desperately clinging to anything they can get.

    I'd be SHOCKED if McCourtey leaves the Pats.

    I usually don't take much stock into "he loves it here" but in McCourtey's case, it's true. I don't see him leaving. His brother has said that he wants to stay a Patriot...

    Still nervous about Revis though lol.

    If I'm the Jags? I beef up both offensive and defensive lines... Try to develop a smash mouth mindset... I think they can turn around the franchise that way. I wouldn't go for the big name receivers...

    Go after linemen, linebackers in free agency... Draft the other parts....

    lol ya obviously we're gonna beef up both lines but we can easily do both we have 62 million dollars of free cap space and the d-line doesn't need much, definitely doesn't need more veteran free agents. I hope we cut Poz though and chase some LB's, you guys can have him if you want he doesn't fit our system at all and is a complete liability but he'd probably do well for you.

    Now a bunch of trolls will get Kaepernick going, if they haven't already.

    That dude could have easily responded to Kaepernick's shot about not having many followers, and made him look like a complete d-ck. Especially now that he has over a thousand, just for getting a response.

    He was a contributor on ST, sure, but 4 mil is just way too much to pay a 3rd string TE who has seen virtually no offensive snaps in his two years with us.

    LOL Niner fans on the team board defending Kaep. Saying he's getting his confidence back that's why he responded that way. I'm not sure whose more r-----ed, Kaepernick, or our fan base?

    Peterson says he's uneasy about returning to the Vikings.

    Many people seem to think that Dallas is a likely landing spot for him. I know he once said he wouldn't mind playing there, but the Cowboys have a RB who almost ran for 2K and is younger than Peterson.

    I think if he goes to another team...the Colts would make a lot of sense...
