NFL offseason thread: FOOTBALL STARTS SUNDAY

[archibaldcrane]

The #Packers have released S Charlie Peprah, per @jasonjwilde. Had 94 tackles, 10 passes defensed and 5 INTs last season.

Those.... are some pretty solid stats for a safety.

He failed his physical, hasn't practiced all training camp. They either like what they have from M.D. Jennings or they're moving Woodson to safety.

[Demosthenes11]

He's recovering from knee surgery - no shit he hasn't practiced.

Jaguars now have their answer: Unhappy with his contract, RB Maurice Jones-Drew will not report to training camp today, per sources.

do it MJD. he is only 27 but how many good years could he possibly have left? even in his first two years when he was splitting time with freddy taylor he was putting a lot of wear and tear on his tiny little body.

That little nignog has no leverage. Jaguars are gonna suck and chances are they're gonna not be good til after he leaves. If jax caves in they're officially the dumbest franchise in the nfl

[Azull]

They have to keep people coming to games until they move to LA though

What other team in the league would pay MJD what he wants right now? Not that he isn't worth it, but at this stage, who HAS the money? His lack of leverage is partially due to the fact that I doubt he could just up and leave right now and find a better contract..

[AidenCarby]

Pull the trigger Belichek, DO IT

[Moss]

[Rhinox]

Haloti Ngata has been placed on the active physically unable to perform list, per a league source.

It's been a week since the shooting in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. that left 12 dead and 58 more injured, and people are still desperate to find ways to help those who found themselves in the middle of that nightmare.

In the first week after the shooting, reports indicate that nearly $2 million has been donated to help the injured victims get through the recovery process, and the families of whose who died. That included donations of time from the Denver Broncos organization -- several Broncos players visited the survivors in their hospital rooms over the last few days.

"We don't know for sure exactly how great the need is, but we know it's great, it's in the millions of dollars," Gov. John Hickenlooper told CBS4 in Denver. "Some of these folks are very, very seriously injured. Some of the deceased victims have children who are going to need resources."

One of the most extraordinary gestures comes from Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith, who has no specific connection to the Aurora community, nor to any of those affected. It was announced on Thursday that Smith has pledged to donate $100,000 to ease the burden of those who are carrying on.

"As a father and husband I cannot imagine the pain and suffering the victims are going through," Smith said via the team's Facebook and Twitter accounts.

"My family's hearts & prayers are extended to theirs, and I hope this contribution might assist in paying some of the medical bills that will help allow these families to move forward in this tragic circumstance.

"Hopefully this helps a little bit. From one NFL city to another, God bless."

"It amazes me, the generosity that the city has shown to the victims, firefighters, police officers and first responders," Aurora Fire Chief Mike Garcia recently said. "I'm taken aback. I really don't have the words for it."

Blah. Not a good look. Looks like he will be fine to play by the regular season, but hamstring injuries for a player at his position - with his playstyle - are not a good sign. I hope he comes back from this without incident.

Yep, posted on my FB. A great move by Smitty
