    Suh reportedly headed to the Dolphins. Weird signing, the Dolphins pass rush was one of the best in the league last year im pretty sure A. that money coulda been spent wiser by Miami and B. he coulda made a better choice. He's not winning s--- in Miami, he probably just wants to live there.

    Good riddance to suh. A defensive tackle should not be the highest paid defensive player in the league. Hopefully my lions can address other positions needing up grade if suh leaves

    Miami was pretty poor vs the run last year though and that's why they probably went after him. Suh's ability to stop the run I think is better than his pass rush.

    Well, either way he helps out the Dolphins run defense and his pass rushing is just a plus. I don't think it was a terrible decision on Suh's part. Dolphins have some solid defensive pieces, Tannehill is continuing to develop and improve. I could see them snatching a wild card spot next year.

    it wasn't completely terrible for Suh but on the Dolphins end i think it was a pretty weird pursuit/way to tie up a shitload of money

    Honestly, ever since Chip gained Bill Belichick power, I have had more faith in this team. Chip gets s--- done.

    I think it's certainly possible. Both guys expressed interest in Philly. They got the cash. And our secondary was horrendous last year. Sign a bonifide cb and safety and our D gets that much better. Not to mention the addition of kiko. Sign Maclin too and we still got right around 27-30 million to spend.

    These are all fairly young players too. Its not like were shelling out 8 mill for someone like Reggie Wayne.

    I actually oddly enough would like Gore. Idk why. But I would like it. He's 32 but he hasn't really slowed down over the years and the dude just hits holes. And he can catch out of the backfield too.

    McCourty will be hard to pry out of New England. Revis is the priority but id be surprised if McCourty isnt back. Either way he wont sign anywhere until after Revis makes his decision.

    Awesome! If we could somehow get both of these guys and re-sign Maclin that's all I want from free agency. I don't want Frank Gore at all. I'd rather just have Polk & Sproles split carries or draft someone.

    Being relatively new to this sport I still don't get how the contract situations work, nothing like the end of season stuff that happens in football (soccer) over here. Like why are Seattle letting Byron Maxwell go? Or a better example would be DeMarco Murray leaving Dallas as they used him so much last year.

    Are franchises forced to let a set number of players leave each year or are their wage caps or something that then makes the players mind up to go elsewhere and get a better deal?

    Hopefully Revis leaves the pats. He's a Pittsburgh University product and deserves better competition, rather than playing in the WORST division in the nfl year after year.

    If he leaves the Pats he's going to the Jets though most likely...

    Suh is one of the very few players who commands double teams and still reaks havoc. He makes people around him better.

    Plus he has no trouble staying healthy

    Vikings have reached out to Rahim Moore, think he'd be a good fit with Harrison Smith back there. I hope they get him.

    Viewing my post and seething over it for 5 minutes only to post a one word reply? Shook.

    Jaguars going to have a rebound year.
