Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

No that's not Tony Romo with a tan playing defense, that's Jaylon Smith!




So now, newly-signed kickers and punters are being spotted with numbers in the 30s and 40s because numbers 1-19 are being taken over by WRs, RBs, and defensive players.

Going to be a mess...and a strange sights this season.

I hate it. Used to be able to ID a player you didn't know by their number, now it's going to make it harder to recognize a guy on D with a number like 9 because he could be a LB or secondary. Nothing the NFL won't do to make a quick buck though.

If the Packers and Seahawks were both smart, they'd just swap QBs. Neither of them wants to be there, and both would be happy in and win in their new homes. It's the best way for both teams to salvage the maximum return and not become complete losers instantly when their QB walks.

Maybe it would take a throw-in pick by GB to balance out the age differential but then again, he's the reigning MVP.

Bonus points, Wilson played for Wisconsin.

Rodgers way better than Wilson. His height a major liability. He can't be a pure pocket passer. Both teams take HUGE cap hits with trade. Neither QB is going anywhere, just on principle. Fantasy type trades rarely make sense in real world. They can honor their deals, or sit and not get paid, period. Enough of these Divas signing huge deals with $50M guaranteed and then trying to whine their way out of town. The guarantee is a long term commitment. No billionaire owner is going to have some QB dictate things. Nor GB.

If Urban Meyer is running his football team for the profits and ego, and not because he wants to do the Pete Carroll thing and prove he can win at any level, he's fucked from the start. Guess time will tell.

Meyer said his only concern is helping Jaguars get better, when asked about Tebow. Tebow is an elite athlete with off the charts character. Bringing him for tryout on the big 90 man roster or whatever number is this year, not absurd. We've got like 9 TEs from everywhere, LOL. Bringing him back is probably bit of favor to Tebow, but Meyer will certainly be ruthless about final cuts. Tebow will have to earn it.

People could be talking about Tebow like Thomas, low mileage, transition to new position, etc. I don't think so, but nothing wrong with seeking talent via all avenues, as we are doing.

Yeah we get it, he's throwing a friend a bone. Doesn't mean he's gonna make the squad or contribute.

Translation: "We need to create competition for a trade, since everyone knows Julio is done in Atlanta."

@diannaESPN
The Atlanta Falcons have discussed several trade offers for Julio Jones, including an offer for a future first round draft pick, per sources.

There is a sense around the league a trade could go down as early as next week.

If I was them I'd trade him to the AFC

If I was them I'd trade him to the AFC

They likely will...to New England.

They likely will...to New England.

If he goes there that will open up a ton for that offense

Taysom Tebow
