Yuppers, pretty much what I expected here.

The only saving grace here in my opinion is the coach. If anybody can get something out of this guy, it’s Hue. But considering our history, you’ll excuse me if I’m not feeling overly optimistic.

I give this about a 25% chance to work.

Two year deal. No details on the cash involved. Still, I can live with that. Also, McCown supposedly on the block.

Welp, it’s official. Just signed…no details yet other than that.

I just don’t see the production he had in his rookie year happening for him here, unless Hue can get into his head (not to mention call the proper plays) to make it happen. The only way this makes sense is if they sign him on the cheap for 1-2 years and see exactly what they have with him. Maybe that season-long time-out taught him some things-…[Read more]

…and players continue the exodus. Craig Robertson has signed with the Saints.

Don’t be surprised if this happens. By all accounts, the visit went well. There’s a much better shot of this happening than the Kaepernick trade.

Yeah, that’s about what I thought too Ice. It’s looking like he wants a replacement for McCown, but the pickings are slim. But as for why Hue doesn’t want to roll with him…I mean, I get it, he’s old. But he’s far from a bad choice for a bridge QB. Maybe he’s trying to find a way to go 8-8 (lol), but feels he can’t with McCown at the helm?

Another star player signed. Safety cut by Houston, Rahim Moore.

Yeah. Fuck iPhone.

Looks like we signed someone…Demario Davis, LB, 2 years, 8 million, 4 of it guaranteed. 90 tackles splitting time.

Not great, but not shabby. I’m more interested in the castle that Ice built.

Another good article I actually took the time to read. Gives good insight with those around Manziel, especially those in our locker room.

Found a really good article on recent rebuilds, and how the Browns seem to be following the same formula…no matter how much Soup wants to bitch about it.

No matter what we do at this point, we are at least going to be set back 3-5 years.

I’m not arguing for or against trading Thomas, but consider a couple of things: he’s 30, he’s likely pissed about Mack and Schwartz leaving, and he’ll be at least 33 before this analytical experiment bears any fruit…during which time his contract is up again.…[Read more]

Well, what sucks is he’s usually right. Still, new guys in the office, new coach…it’s either wait and see, root for Buffalo, or stop watching altogether.

I’ll wait and see…even though I don’t like any of my options.

This kind of is their idea of doing just that…getting it together. Think of it more as a “goodwill gesture” from the front office to Hue, because make no mistake, Kaepernick is his boy. So take that as you will.

And the compensation will be this year’s 3rd (essentially a late 2nd), and they are trying to get the structure between 7-8…[Read more]
