I know I'm extremely late to the party on this, but what do Texans fans think about Kendrick Lewis? The fact that he's signing with the Ravens probably means he'll have a good season, but I'm not sure. They burned a comp pick and gave him a three-year deal, so it seems like they believe in him as a long-term solution. Still, dude seems to be just above average looking at the numbers.

He has a knack for finding the ball. I really wish Texans would have kept him. He should do well in Baltimore.

[djohn2oo8]

Wilfork will sign with Texans.

Need to have a solid draft, with picks actually contributing next season.

Raiders have released Schaub :lol

[benefactor]

Need to have a solid draft, with picks actually contributing next season.
If he can just hit on a couple of picks this will be his best offseason yet. Retained the QB they wanted, brought in another decent backup, re-signed Jackson, re-signed Newton, brought in Moore, Shorts and Wilfork. I'd say just don't fuck up the draft badly and it's a win.

Stacked! :hat Should be a solid pic-up with Clark retired and Merriweather gone. He's never been a starter so I'm not sure how he's going to adapt if asked to be a starter. But hopefully he'll do well. He is a stud on special teams as well.

The word is he will be our starting strong safety. Only concern is the limited amount of snaps he's got as you mentioned. He's a low risk, high reward player with the contract they got him for. Could of started in a lot of places, but my guess is that he is really impressed with McCloughan that made him want to sign here.

[Aztecfan03]

Schaub?
we don't want or need your shitty cast-offs.

[Clipper Nation]

yep. :depressed

I'm actually not that upset about missing out on Shorts. He's always injured and has stone hands.

[The Gemini Method]

Could of started in a lot of places, but my guess is that he is really impressed with McCloughan that made him want to sign here. Hopefully the tutelage from Earl Thomas, Chancellor, and Richard Sherman will carry over with him. Up to this point though, the DBs from the LOB haven't fared all that well. I think he's young enough to grow.

[Aztecfan03]

I'm actually not that upset about missing out on Shorts. He's always injured and has stone hands.

I want Stevie, but if he doesn't sign with us, there isn't much left and shorts would have been a decent pickup. But i am worried about NT and Wilfork would have been nice. TT doesn't seem to be in on any of the DT's though and they are all beign signed for reasonable prices (outside of Suh, of course)

Hardy using Seattle visit as leverage?

how is that leverage when your problem are off field issues? it's more like an admisson..

Greg hardy to the Cowboys, just wait on it

how is that leverage when your problem are off field issues? it's more like an admisson.. That is true...why would he set up another visit if he's a lock to rock the star? Or, permeate the idea that he's going to even entertain another team?

Upgrade over Royal AND cheaper.

he was putting up numbers with fitzpatrick... numbers fell off when he worked with manuel and then as the 3rd receiver for kaep.

rivers will do wonders for him

Exactly. People say he has quirky and awkward route-running skills, but so does Antonio Gates. Rivers will do this guy good.

If you projected his niners #'s out to the snaps or targets that the others got, he compares very favorably to the of the niners players and royal. The niners just didn't put him on the field.

big fan of stevie, was really hoping we'd make a run at him to man the slot. at 6'2 207 he's one of the bigger slot receivers around, and nickel corners are usually much smaller because they're trying to cover welker/royal/edelman types. like the signing for san diego

New Raiders RB Trent Richardson's two-year deal is worth at least $3.9 million, and as much as $8 million through incentives.

between McCoy/Watkins/Woods/Harvin/Clay they'll have plenty of weapons on offense... but its weird to stack so much talent when your QB is Matt Cassel

[DD]

We just need Mark Sanchez-level QB play to make the playoffs...that's it. All I want right now is the playoffs after 16 years of hell

[Malik Hairston]

Who were the Raiders bidding against for one of the shittiest RBs of all-time, tbh?:lol

Why did they pay him so much?

[Malik Hairston]

And I really hope the Eagles sign Tebow, tbh, my nigga..

[spurraider21]

Who were the Raiders bidding against for one of the shittiest RBs of all-time, tbh?:lol

Why did they pay him so much?
no clue, tbh... its not like they have a big need. latavius murray looked like one of the most promising young backs in the league last year once they handed the reigns over... and Helu is a good change of pace. they were bidding for demarco, and apparently felt compelled to add Richardson, who shouldn't be on an NFL roster

as to why they paid him as much as they did, 2 reasons:

a) reggie mckenzie has proven to be one of the most inept GM's in the NFL when it comes to free agency

b) we literally HAVE to spend another 25 mil or so just to reach the salary floor

[Raven]

so we declined the biggest mofo of cornerbacks to sign flat out the worst one in the league :lmao.. fucking revis bastard screwed up everything.

[Pelicans78]

And I really hope the Eagles sign Tebow, tbh, my nigga..

Me too.

solid deal for both sides. its a lot of money but its just a 1 year commitment, so it can't bite them hard beyond this year. hardy gets money and a prove-it deal

[Holden_Caulfield]

thats a lot. especially for his situation.

[Raven]

solid deal for both sides. its a lot of money but its just a 1 year commitment, so it can't bite them hard beyond this year. hardy gets money and a prove-it deal

it's a great deal for both. Hardy is right away their best player.

[Aztecfan03]

most of the money isn't guaranteed. Most of it is tied to games played.

The actual salary portion is only 750k

[The Gemini Method]

He gets a $50k bonus for not throwing bitches onto piles of gun...nice incentive.

:lol its like McKenzie went after Cobb, and then when he took less money to stay in GB, he just gave up. no pursuit for maclin, harvin, stevie johnson, jordan cameron, charles clay, torrey smith. and if by some divine miracle leonard williams fell to 4, we HAVE to take him, but then we're relying on 2nd round receiver to come in and be a #1 guy... not lookin good

at least we signed a center

[spurraider21]

Packers matched the Raiders offer sheet for S Sean Richardson.

The Raiders offered him 2.55 mil and the Raiders were slammed by media outlets for overpaying, saying "this is why they're the raiders" etc. But now that GB matched I'm sure we'll hear about how savvy Ted Thompson is
