The tea leaves loom like Elway is settled on building for the future with a new franchise QB instead of eeking out another Super Bowl with this defense as is and a veteran QB (I,e, Romo). I'm alright with it either way.
Yeah, agreed. I really hope Romo is on his way to Houston though :wenger:

Thought the Hawks would be okay with a Rawls/Prosise committee.

One of the reasons why they weren't as good offensively was because of the injuries to those two. Means little if the o line doesn't improve though.

The Packers do realize they only have a limited time left with one of (arguably the) most gifted QB's to ever walk the Earth, right?

Never really stood out for us. Just a solid rotational player. Not worth the investment of a first rounder.

It seems that he is going to move inside and play as a 3 tech besides Linval Joseph. He will basically compete with Sharrif Floyd and will have to gain some weight.

That won't be a problem. He initially played that for us, too. Until we moved him to OLB. For whatever reason.

Despite my kneejerk reaction after the Packers game, I'm glad to see Newman back. Anyone knows if Webb is better at safety or slot corner?

:( Bizarre to watch as said above. And will be a shame if yet another year goes with deficiencies that are clear, but covered up (which can only take you so far) by Rodgers carrying the team with insane plays.

Hightower returning is huge. A great off-season so far for us.

Just the Butler situation to sort now. And then the draft. A RB and/or CB the top priorities. TE too.

With the Seahawks having signed Lacy, who else is left courting a top tier RB?

Peterson to the Packers? Jags? Chiefs? Patriots? Returns to the Vikings like a lost puppy?

Where will Charles land?

Don't think he'll return to the Vikes since they've just signed Lavatius Murray.

The Giants could do with either one of Peterson and Charles!

Don't know about Charles, but Peterson is definitely done. He was horrible last season, even when fit. Whoever signs the guy will just waste cap space. It's no coincidence he is still on the market.

The Vikings' OL being crap certainly didn't help though. I think he could still do a good job for a lot of teams.

He averaged 1.9 Yards per carry. There is no line bad enough to excuse this. He was horrible. As running backs on the wrong side of 30 tend to be.

He could do a job for a really good OL but he is predictable and can't block.

Murray is gone for the Raiders now who have one of the best OLines in the league, but I'm guessing they're probably okay with Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington..

I want to see AD in the NFL, so why not? But it would make more sense to draft a third RB, it's cheaper.

Any team signing him to automatically be their No 1 back is taking a huge risk. Any contract needs to be heavily incentive laden. He might do well in a RB by committee situation.

Dontari Poe on his way to Atlanta on a one-year deal worth up to $10m.
