NFL Free Agency Around the League

[AnonEmouse]

I doubt moving to another city would have made any difference to this situation. And I bet a few teams that were interested did their due diligence and uncovered at least a whiff of this coming. I doubt Houston would get offered a 6 pack for him right now.

If he's guilty I doubt his career is over. Players have come back after suspensions of similarly egregious acts. BUT it likely destroys his market value and his leadership credentials. He'd have to do a massive rebuilding of his image to overcome the bad press etc., not to mention a great deal of therapy. Not saying I like that outcome (doesn't feel like punishment), but this is the NFL.

If he's innocent he'll still have people looking at him in a new light. Either way, he needs to get this moving to a conclusion soon else he could be losing his most productive years to court cases, suspension and appeals.

I'm just glad no team traded for him, and then it blew up. Houston missed their chance to move him but if they knew any of this, it's borderline fraud.

Very relieved we didn't get this POS human on our team.

Bernard released by Bengals. Assuming we're keeping McKissick, I doubt we'd be interested, but he would add another dangerous dual threat RB...

I'd rather keep McKissic. He works for this system and Bernard has always been a disappointment.

49ers made a huge QB move today. They likely won't be drafting a QB now.







They signed Nate Sudfeld!

TE Thaddeus Moss joining his collegiate QB in Cincinnati.

So back to free agency.



Cardinals signed RB James Conner.

Bucs signed RB Giovanni Bernard.

Jadaveon Clowney is visiting the Browns. He and Myles Garrett together would be scary.



And Julian Edelman was released but he Patriots yesterday and announced his retirement about 90 minutes later.

Jadaveon Clowney . I don't get it, no one knocking down his door he isn't a scary as some think he is. I don't want him ,I'd rather take my chance in the draft.

Totally agree. How many of the teams that he's played for, re-signed him? ZERO. That says all you need to know.

This debate about whether Edelman belongs in the HOF or not is a little ridiculous. He's not a HOF'er and it's not even a close debate IMO.

It's a debate. 3 SB rings, SB MVP, nearly as many postseason yards as Rice, arguably a key part of those multiple SB wins. Tough competitor. A lot of good traits.

I'm not saying its nailed on by any means, but Warner walked in with only 1 SB win and no all time statistical records (but yeah, 2 MVP, 4 Pro Bowl nods etc.). It's worthy of a debate but he's certainly not a 1st ballot consideration.

Lately there have been people getting into the HOF that have been very good. It's all about politics now. John Lynch? Tom Flores? Neither are HOF'ers. Jim Covert over Jacoby is flat out laughable.

Julian E isn't a great player but he did it on the biggest stages. I just think his regular season numbers aren't strong enough.

Gary Clark should get in before Edelman.

10,000+ yards and 65 TDs with 2 SBs.

vs.

6,800 yards and 36 TDs.
