    Trae Waynes was the Vikings best corner last year. He's leaving a team that drafts and molds good corners on a yearly basis. How they will fair when they leave is anyone's guess. Zimmer coaches them up well.

    Your guess is as good as mine as far Reader goes. I've heard the name, don't know much about him.

    Not bad moves by the Bengals. They are better than they performed last year. Offensive line injuries and some close losses early in the season saw them spiral. They could be a team like the 2012 2-14 Chiefs flipping to a near playoff team the following year.

    They probably would've beat both Oakland and Pittsburgh if they didn't bench Dalton.

    A grandparent in 2050:
    “Kids, Tom Brady was the best I ever saw. On the day he left the Patriots, kids stayed home from school, parents worked from home and everyone stocked up on toilet paper.”

    "Kids, the store shelves were empty, and the country was on the verge of famine. Then Brady left New England and millions of refugees trudged to Patriots message boards, where we survived on tears and butthurt sandwiches until the quarantine was lifted."

    Makes sense for Fowler his entire family lives here in Florida and he'll only be a couple hours drive away from his family being up there in Georgia.

    I would have loved Fowler Jr.

    And the Jets have been seemingly been on Fowler for years. Even before he became a proven pass rushing force with Jax. This one stings. Really wanted him

    I don’t think Fowler, Clooney, Trumaine Johnson, etc are JD kind of guys. Makes sense now with Fowler.

    As nice as it is that we upgraded at C, didn't get worse at G (moral victory) and kept Poole... we're out of pass rushing options unless we stupidly spend on Clowney and on top of it, we're seemingly find with letting Jenkins walk. Hopefully someone in the fourth round turns into a stud!

    Better that we didn't get Fowler. He was a contract year wonder. Had all of his sacks in 6 games too.

    Now don't overpay for Clowney and re-sign Anderson and we've had a good off-season.

    While Clowney isn’t as good as he thinks he is, getting him wouldn’t be stupid at all. He’s still good. If the Jets are letting Jenkins walk, they haven’t gotten better at that position. They’ve gotten worse. How about bringing in a good player instead of nonsense.

    There's a difference between getting him at a good price and getting him for $15-20 mil per year like he wants. That would be a very stupid, panic move. If we can get him for $12-15 mil, I'm fine with it.

    Bears just traded for Nick Foles from the Jaguars. Chicago now has a QB, may not be a great one in Foles but much better than 1st round bust Trubisky.

    I'm starting to wonder if they are now trying to resign Jenkins and then draft an EDGE for the other side?

    You might be the only one calling Dante Fowler a big name.

    Whispers on Twitter day we’re interested in Vinny Curry. I would like us to resign Jenkins as well if that’s the case as Curry is more of situational pass rusher.

    I am glad the Jets missed out* on Dante Fowler. Missed out has an asterisk because its entirely possible the Jets weren't even interested in him to begin with. He's not that good and the type to just cash in and relax
