    NFL Offseason Updates and Predictions

    I did not see a thread for this. For people who are as excited about the offseason, as they are the regular season --- this could get interesting. Teams like the Seattle Seahawks turned the franchise around because of two or three offseasons. I know it's boring to watch everyday, but it is the most important time in football.

    I am a die hard lolRaiders fan. So I am pretty excited for the next couple of months.

    Only about 27 people are under contract, with 60-65MM in Salary Cap. They have a #5 Draft Pick that could land anyone from Manziel to Clowney to Watkins. Any three of these players would be the immediate star, top jersey seller, and thought to be franchise corner piece.

    With 60+MM to spend, this is the offseason for it. Free Agents that fill Raiders needs include:
    Pass Rushers: Greg Hardy, Jared Allen, Michael Johnson, Michael Bennett and Brian Arakpo.
    Cornerback: Alterraun Vernon, Brent Grimes, Dunta Robinson, Vontae Davis and Walter Thurmond III.
    Safety: TJ Ward, please.
    Wide Receiver: Jeremy Maclin, Eric Decker and Emmanuel Sanders.
    Running Back: Maurice Jones-Drew, Knowshon Moreno and Chris Johnson will most likely be cut from Tennessee.
    Quarterback: Michael Vick?


    Most teams have never been in this position before, to have a new starter at every major skill position. I'd like to see some thoughts from everyone. And hear about other teams.

    I was impressed with Carolina and Arizona this year. I think this offseason is a huge factor on which one makes it to the elite level next year.

    My only prediction is that the Cowboys will once again fail to make the playoffs. Or have some sort of epic collapse. And Romo will provide tons of comedy.

    America's team is managed by America's worst Owner. When you have a great businessman decide to own, manage, and make every executive decision.... Failure is usually the end result.. Especially since Jones is selfishly loyal (ironic, right?). Overpaying Romo and having an infatuation with Garret seem to just crush the Cowboys future.

    I'm trying to find out if the Chiefs re-signing their longsnapper or the first openly gay man to declare in the draft is the biggest story in the offseason so far.

    Chiefs cut Dunta Robinson and want to extend the most averagely serviceable QB in the history of the league. I hope they pay him 100M for no reason. Go Raiders.

    I'd be surprised if Vernon, Vontae Davis, TJ Ward, Greg Hardy, or Brian Orakpo left their respective teams. Jets are also apparently going pretty hard for Maclin.

    I could see Suggs going to Oakland actually.

    Suggs in Oakland would be nice. I think Orakpo tests Free Agency. Washington is a shit show, and I don't know if they use the franchise tag on a player who has a history of injuries. Vernon should be franchise tagged, but Tennessee makes awful decisions.

    They'll probably let Orakpo go and then try to resign him for less. It's the way of the indigenous people.

    Aaron Hernandez gets acquitted of murder gets signed by the Oakland Raiders. Meanwhile the ghost of Johnny Cochran smiles.

    I'm 2/15 native american. Two fifteenths? Two fifteenths.

    And Redskins is fine name, I've always been on that side, but it'll be changed to something as brilliant as Wizards or Pelicans eventually.
