    Really just one before they can have SOME cap savings cutting him. Most of the mess is guaranteed money next year and not a signing bonus, which is the silver lining.

    Thankfully Howie has kept the cap really clean outside of Demarco (I'm actually fine with Maxwell). Nothing like the mess that Dallas managed itself out of and the Saints are deep in.
    Dallas managed itself out of it, in large part due to cutting ties with, first Ware and now Murray. Signing promising, productive young value players to smaller, long-term deals instead of not extending them and waiting for them to shine on their contract year and expecting bigger paydays. Dallas isn't that far off from contender status again next year, they need to shore up just a few positions this offseason (they're well under the cap) and Romo needs to stay healthy of course. A better backup QB signed (say, Griffin) might net them wins instead of losses if, say, Romo misses 1 to 3 games like he did in 2014. I think Dallas takes the East in 2016 barring another big Romo injury.

    Eagles are farther away. Aside from addressing quarterback (I don't believe in Bradford at all), the other big elephant is that you need to rebuild your offensive line, which is a painstaking process that usually takes more than one year to solve. Your secondary is somewhat improved over 2014, but you could use help in that area. And your receiving corps is pretty mediocre, too. Add the coaching change in there (which I don't think should have happened) and you've got yourselves probably a down year next year.

    Giants are a long ways away now after firing Tom Coughlin. I could definitely see a down year or a, say, 6 win year if they're (un)lucky only due to the Eli-Beckham tandem being able to pull out a few games on its own. Their offensive line is average at best, Reuben Randle is gone... but that's only the offense. As for defense, their defense is probably the worst if not one of the worst in the NFL. No more pass rushers, have to make a decision on the guy with 3 fingers left on his strong hand, secondary is terrible, linebacking corps is terrible... should I go on? I see them probably last place in the East in 2016, but you never know in the NFL.

    Redskins won the division in essence by default last year, but don't exactly have much of a recent history of repeating their success. Kirk Cousins is an average to slightly above average QB with a good receiving corps... unfortunately for Washington, Cousins is going to get paid this offseason and they're going to have to make some sacrifices. Their run defense isn't very good, they're prone to getting tired and beat out, nobody sticks out as a great player and enforcer on that side of the ball... offense tends to be inconsistent in big games... etc. I see them finishing second place in the East as of now.

    Legit opinion. Understandable. It's weird how skewed the view of Tom Brady is out there given what I get to know as a closer observer. I dream of a SportsCenter conversation or something on Real Sports with Brady, Timmy and a competent interviewer because they're the same compe ive type and they always put team and winning and winning team culture first and their teammates revere them in the same way for that reason. The fun part is that that both come from the same unlikely space as far as becoming the best players in their generation, even if the swimmer from the V.I. was a #1 pick and the Catcher from California was a 6th round pick.
    Not a Brady Hater at all though and respect his edge and motivation. He is easily up there all times and a fierce compe or.

    This got clearly just started watching football in 2001 and doesn't watch unless the Cheatriots are playing. Claiming Gronkowski is the greatest tight end of all time is absurd. I'd take Gonzalez, Sharpe, Mackey, Ditka, Winslow or Gates in their primes easily over Gronk.

    Gronk plays in an era where defense isn't allowed and looks like the Hulk compared to any player asked to cover him, yet every time he drops a pass, he throws his hands up and starts screaming at the refs for a call like Harden in the lane. He also has to resort to pushing off on half of his catches. He's a dumb meathead got who gets sucked dry by the media because he plays in their beloved Boston.
    My parents did a better job than your parents.

    Oh and your opinion is wrong.

    according to the site the Rams aren't that bad at cheating, just dinged on steroid players and stuff that applies to every team in the league, but I am dubious of a site that has the Patriots at slightly lower than average when it comes to cheating.
