NFL: 2018 NFL off-season news & notes thread (Vikings sign Hunter to big extension)

[pockets]

Something is/was going on. Vegas took the Patriots off the board for a period of time this afternoon.

Vegas sport books got trolled by 'Redditlover1981' just like everyone else.

Roster wise they are behind the rest of the division. Luck (at fill health) can make up for it. Just can't confidently say he's still that player.

Agreed. I have to see Luck on the field and throwing in an actual game before assuming the Colts are going to do anything next season.

Belichick is too ruthless and I love him for that, but lately he's gone insane with Brady's situation, benching Butler in the SB and now possibly trading one the most dominant player in the NFL.

Gronk is constantly hurt and been in the league since 2010.

Nope.

Nope.

Yep! I'll take Curran, Giardi and Stacy James over Kurkjian any day of the week.`





And then of course there's this: As promised at 5pm ET, the major patriots story is... • r/Patriots

Yup, there are reports confirming and denying the story. I'm just letting you know this isnt coming from the reddit guy

Barstool, BR, PFT, Dan Shaughnessy's paper, something called "clutchpoints"...man, he's sure taking an undue victory lap. Again, I saw nothing about this reported or even discussed by anyone remotely trustworthy.

But... but... BarstoolBigCat and PFTCommenter!

Seriously, I hate Barstool. I don't read them, but I see their tweets favorited and retweeted all the time.

 

[DangleCity]

I'm a Patriots fan, so I hope it's not true, but the way things are going I wouldn't rule out the report as being true.

Barstools actual sports content is ok. Everything else is terrible.

To be expected I guess. Much as I love Earl, Seattle is going younger and probably doesn't want to offer more than two or three years.
Otherwise they'd have a deal in place already.
Thomas is a gym rat who takes care of his body, probably sees himself as a top-shelf safety well into his 30's so I understand his need to get paid.

 

[StreetHawk]

Thomas also saw first hand last season how brutal a business the nfl is. Chancellor entered last year in the fina year of his deal before getting an extension and he then suffered what is expected to be a career ending neck injury.

Sherman and Avril has the same situation as Thomas in the final year of their deal with no more guaranteed money. Because of the injuries they suffered last season, both guys got cut.

So, Thomas has to use the leverage he has to get a deal. Or he could find himself like his former teammates.

 

[justafan22]

I don't blame Thomas at all here.

In recent years Jerry has begun to give Stephen more and more control with roster , correct? Would it be fair to say Stephon is the heir to throne once Jerry is gone

Wasn't Stephen the one who talked him out of Manziel mistake?

It was also Stephen, that didn’t want Dez. No question about it, Stephen sits on the throne when Jerry is gone.

Panthers twitter might be the best in the NFL. That was a great tweet but a weak move to delete it afterwards, even though the orders probably came down from the top.

Yeah I agree. I didn't even know it was deleted until I went to look for it just now

 

[tony d]

Jones would be a great fit for Carolina for sure. Would def solve the receiving woes for that team. That said I doubt the Falcons give him up to anyone much less a division rival.

 

[Avs_19]

He's actually throwing! Well, lightly tossing in that clip.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Just play him over Flacco if you want him on the field. Flacco isn't good.
