NFL Offseason transactions. Week l337

[Dimmauk]

None of the NFL players were found; it was one of their friends that was discovered hanging on to the bottom of the boat. I bet that was scary as hell...

TAMPA, FLORIDA (TICKER) —The Coast Guard has rescued one survivor after discovering the fishing boat carrying four passengers, including two NFL players, that went missing this past weekend in Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Nick Schuyler, a former football player at the University of South Florida, was found clinging to the side of the overturned boat, which was found Monday afternoon approximately 30 miles off the coast of St. Petersburg, Florida.

The whereabouts of former Detroit Lions defensive end Corey Smith - currently a free agent - and Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, who both were on board the 21-foot vessel, still are unknown.

[Akiyama]

Yeah, they found a former USF player. Schuyler or something another, but no news on the other three so far. This is a sad story =[

Edit: Beaten!

[Gregorio]

ugh I'm still thinking about Dawkins. I'm really not that mad at him nor the Eagles FO. I do think we have players that can step up and fill his defensive role, and I'm sure one of the other veterans there will be able to help with the leadership.

Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia Video

If you click the video interview with Dawkins and D. Gunn it gets pretty emotional.

I'm very upset he decided to leave...but I can't really blame the Eagles for not offering him a longer deal than 2 years. The guy's gettin old, he's got 2 years tops left in him. That being said...I wanted him to retire an Eagle probably as much as Green Bay fans wanted Farve to retire a Packer.

And that interview kinda made me sad.

shocker that a notoriously cheap team wouldnt pay a little extra to keep their heart and soul.

[MrW]

Just listened to it myself. Some players really take it to heart. I wish more pro athletes cared that much.

[MrW]

LOL Jason Taylor cut by Skins. That was quick.

[Mizango]

Dan what have you done!?

Washington Redskins release defensive end Jason Taylor - ESPN

That dude is of the hook lol

[Gregorio]

Housh to Seattle. WTF Eagles lock some people down.

"Family took precedence over the money.

With three children, Taylor, who has a home in the Miami area, opted not to agree to the workout provisions. The team was willing to keep his restructured salary at $8.5 million, but his desire to be with his family in the offseason was more important in his life."


Good for him!

[Akiyama]

I wonder where Jason Taylor will go. His performance certainly had a huge drop-off.

Also, the Eagles are really trying to not bring back McNabb for sure now, what with everyone either getting traded/released.. them still not working to get a WR.

[recuperi]

News isn't as big as Housh, but the Titans signed Nate Washington and Jovan Haye today too.

[Mizango]

Yeah I'd totally do the same thing. No question, Dimmy your daughter looks too much like you Shes a cutie, I assume she got that from her mother.

j/k man lol


ESPN just reported TJ is signing a 5 year deal with the Seahawks. Man I didn't see that one coming at all.... Figured it would be with the Niners if anyone.

[Headspace]

Well the Bengals better fucking get Ward and Benson then. They sat on their ass waiting for Housh when they should've just cut ties. Pricks.

[Koyuki]

TJ could have pretty much gone to any team he wanted but he picked fucking Seattle, Jesus Christ.

[Headspace]

TJ could have pretty much gone to any team he wanted but he picked fucking Seattle, Jesus Christ.

He wanted a contender, but settled for money. Why he didn't pick the Vikings blows my mind.

[Headspace]

And now there's reports that Coles is coming to Cincinnati. Why we drafted 3 WRs last year I'll never know.

[Akiyama]

He wanted a contender, but settled for money. Why he didn't pick the Vikings blows my mind.

Vikings still don't have a QB. Who would throw TJ the ball? AD can't do it all.

[Headspace]

Vikings still don't have a QB. Who would throw TJ the ball? AD can't do it all.

Sage is decent. It's not hard to throw 10 yards, which is where TJ will be every time.

[Akiyama]

Ah, right. Sage Rosenfail. I wonder if he'll be doing any helicopter runs in Vikingland.

[Andarvi]

Sage is terrible like all the QBs behind him on on that team. It's not hard to throw 10 yards, which is where TJ will be every time.

IMO more accurate.

Hasselbeck is certainly a lot better than Rosenfels as long as he stays healthy. The Seahawks now have Housh, Branch, and Burleson as their 1-2-3, pretty nice little set up. Too bad their run game is shot. I wonder if they will go after Crabtree seeing as Branch is older and injury prone, Burleson has been hurt often, and TJ himself is over 30. Who knows. Their division is horrible so we will see.
