2015 NFL Free Agent Signings Thread

That's what I thought. Without lookin it up, wasn't it Substance Abuse Weed or something?

Alcohol, he could get a DUI walking down the street, we actually have/had a Florida-based board member who said he would see him at the bar going nuts on the alcohol every time he went out.

Classic Stuff, thought process?

I'm not big on cracking jokes about people with disorders like his, but I don't think he has a thought process. Until he proves he's serious about his rehab, the NFL isn't a place for him and he shouldn't play football without getting his life in order.

It's crazy when players don't see the warning signs after being suspended by one of the biggest businesses in America and understand they are doing things wrong.

Blackmon was showing his potential when he got suspended. Sucks that he went to a lousy franchise.

Blackmon is indefinitely suspended. He has been in a treatment program. The team isn't counting on him. His contract has been suspended and the jags have three years of rights to him should he ever come back. Theoretically, he could apply for reinstatement at any time.

IMHO, it doesn't suck that he played for a lousy franchise.

What sucks is that he let down his team, himself and his family by getting caught violating the NFL drug policies three times. If he can get his head on straight, he probably can come back.

I hear ya not my style either but he has to be serious about his condition and take ALL steps to get his life together and that means bein surrounded by positive family & frirnds.

Demarco Murray has stopped following the Cowboys on twitter
Would be completely left field but Imagine TB handing off to Murray.
Would be a beautiful thing and nothing better to extend his career.

Its like a 1 percent chance but it would be beautiful.

Packers are not a threat, the Colts slightly a threat, Seahawks depending on what they intend to do with Wilson can be a threat in getting him. The Colts are at a bit of a disadvantage, AJ might not want to play for the Colts due to the rivalry and his affiliation with H-Town. He might not care for the FO but he does care for the fans and the community. I stayed in Houston for a over 8 years and I know he did a lot for the kids in that City.
So if BB wants him, it will not be hard to convince. I on the other hand wants us to go younger at the position.

So looks like he prefers to catch passes from Johnny Football.

Wait, what??? I forgot who is their QB again?

I think he is from Ohio too. And who knows what offers where out there for him.

 

[makoute]

Eh, better than the other NY team nabbing him.

Not sure about that, the gints have done more damage to the pats the the dreads of ny can ever dream of doing.

That was me. He was worse when he first moved to Jacksonville then got better over time before falling apart again. When he first got drafted, he went out to a bar called The Ritz one night and I saw him stumble into his car and drive out of there. I believe that was the first DUI he got.

If Blackmon is rehabilitated and is reintegrated into their offense, they have (minus Shorts, who is a FA):

WR 1 - Justin Blackmon
WR 2 - Marqise Lee
WR 3 - Allen Hurns
TE 1 - Julius Thomas
TE 2 - Marcedes Lewis

Whilst not being otherworldly, that's a pretty decent group for Bortles to work with.

I would include Allen Robinson in that group

Can think of many things I'd rather spend the money on, and that's not taking anything away from DM.

The #Jets set to lock up former #Seahawk G James Carpenter, who is planning to sign a 4-year deal worth roughly $5M a year.

A bit high for Carpenter, IMO. If I could get Clint Boling for that range I'd be elated, though I doubt the Pats can afford that, and I expect Mike Zimmer to lure him to Minnesota.

Tyvon Branch is signing with KC on a one year deal per Rappaport.

Belichick is definitely going to address their interior OL given the amount of vDL talent they will be faxing this season. They really need an upgrade at Guard. I like Wendell but Suh is going to ragdoll him.

I can confirm reports about the #Chiefs signing Tyvon Branch to a 1-year deal, per a source.

Good signing for the Chiefs. Since it's just 1 year, they're not losing much if he gets hurt again.
