Did he? My Rams fans buddies are all distraught over this move.

They must not watch many Rams games, because nobody that watched him play thinks he has anything left in the tank. You get a blocker on him, he pretty much gives up on the play. He might be serviceable backup, but not starter material anymore. There is a reason Rams board has been talking about ILB in the draft, since the season ended.

The part that stuck out the most to me wasn't with ZZ though. It was adding 27 yards a game under that Cooter guy, the guy that made no apparent difference. Damn scrub teams...

do you think LWM will pay attention ?.... OR anyone else

hhhmmm. I wonder why that part was in bold even though there wasn't any explanation from the poster.

Sure glad you came to the forefront.

I thought the same with you guys not knowing the difference between Lions in their up-tempo and their clock management giving games away nightmare wouldn't sound so far-fetched. I would've never became a believer if I didn't see Calvin running crossing routes leading two or three defenders right to the ball carrier in the 2012 game against the 49ers. When the officials were giving the Lions the short end of the stick the Lions became overpaid actors.

In case you missed me saying the Lions gave that game away... we had the Harbaugh Bowl, brother against brother in the Super Bowl. But, it probably wont mean anything to you guys because you still believe the NFL is a Sport and not listed as Entertainment.

"The Patriots may pursue free agent DT Tyrunn Walker.

New England made Walker a three-year offer last offseason, but he opted for a one-year proposal from the Lions instead. Since, former Patriots executive Bob Quinn has taken over as the GM in Detroit. At this stage of the process, the Pats and Lions should be considered the favorites for Walker. Walker is a 26-year-old interior pass rusher who broke his fibula last October" - rotoworld

We are gonna get killed in those Monday and Thursday games if the Pats scoop up Walker this time.

[Thruthefog]

I hope the Pats have enough cap space to get it done.

See if you can find that girl who wants a pearl necklace. She's got legs. Tell her a sharp dressed man is looking for her to give me all her lovin'. I might be in the house out on La Grange, but my heads in Mississippi. My boss has me looking for some Tush, so he can do the tube steak boogie. He's got me under pressure. I'll be eating TV dinners if I don't deliver.

Breaking down Detroit’s key free-agent decisions

Good read. All those names have been flying around here. So that must mean they will get none of them signed.

 

[RobBase]

Alshon Jefferery has officially been tagged. He's going to be a Bear for awhile.

Breaking down Detroit’s key free-agent decisions

Pretty close to what I have recommended already except for Malik Jackson. NOt sure where he is going with that one. Jackson is one of the best 3-4 ends in the league. He will get a lot more as that then as a DT for us.

NFL Salary Cap Set at $155.27M
Posted on February 27, 2016 by Jason Fitzgerald
According to the NFLPA the NFL has officially set the salary cap for the season at $155.27 million, about $12 million higher than last years number. With that number set we can now better estimate a few charges for next season related to tenders and draft selections. The number coming in that high also should mean that every team in the NFL is already under the salary cap for next year. I have the salary cap page now updated to reflect the new cap limit. Carryovers are included in that chart but only a few other adjustmets from last years incentives. As always remember these are estimates and the actual numbers may be (and probably will be) somewhat different.

Looks like to me, if I were Malik Jackson, I'd rather play as a 4-3 DT and get paid like them. It's doubtfut but possible he gets close to JJ Watt. It's even more likely he gets paid the difference between Dareus and McCoy.
4-3 DT's are getting more $$$$ according to my eyes. Jackson played apporximately 47% of snaps as a DT
