This thread really is a fantasy land. I am the only one keeping it real.

Actually the state dropped all charges because it didn't have a case due to not being able to find the alleged victim who was not cooperative. The prosecutor never said that Hardy settled as a matter of law, he just believes that Hardy did based on some evidence that he knew about, but wasn't privy to.

Why would you think that his contract would be THAT much. I heard some talking head talking about an 89-esque contract. I certainly don't see him getting anything much greater than Boldin money. Maybe a little more, but I doubt anyone would structure anything other than a team friendly contract with relatively little future guarantees. I could be wrong though.

Just trying to be realistic.

Denarius Moore We need an explosive receiver with speed. Proehl will help turn the tease into a beautiful marriage.

Browns not likely to sign Cecil Shorts according to their beat reporter, Tony Grossi. Chances are "slim".

No. That would be an unfair interpretation. There are more than a few guys out there who would tire of the situation and do what it takes to play football (which is what a pro competitor worth his salt wants to do, not sit on his ass and collect money). That being said, I wouldn't mind if Hardy would take a stand, but it's his life and career. There will undoubtedly be another who will be willing to fight more battles. Edit: And, in my opinion, his reputation has already been damaged. The best way for him to repair it is to stay out of trouble and be a beast on the football field, and a civic-minded citizen off the field.

That won't work according to what I've been reading. That's one reason Shady was traded. Kelly doesn't appreciate those backs that bounce around and try to create things by running around the edge. Spiller is in that mold. I guess D-lo won't be going to Philly.

Those weaknesses though.

Yeah, I think we would all welcome the pick, even if we we like other options (e.g. DGB), but I just don't believe that he is going to fall to 25. He is probably one of the safer picks in the overall draft, and the safest at his position.

I think that everyone wins. The Bills are going to get one of the best backs in the game at the better part of his prime, and the Eagle's get a quality LB. As for the cap space: Sure the Eagles get some cap relief on the front end, but the cap always works itself out. The cap is not only a short term game, but a long term puzzle as well. It's dynamic, not static. You really can't judge the success or failure of a trade based on the cap because circumstances for each team are different. Some teams may be trying to win sooner rather than later, and some windows may be opening, while others are closing. Sometimes spending is best, while other times you may want to pull back. It's not like Buffalo will have to pay McCoy top dollar forever. If they do, that means he is producing at a very high level.

This is funny:

I am telling y'all that Brandon Graham is the player to get, not old, overpriced Cole. He is probably headed to FA http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000446086/article/eagles-brandon-graham-likely-to-test-free-agency And there is this: http://www.csnphilly.com/blog/700-level/pass-rusher-underrated-need-eagles-2015

Actually, I am eyeing Brandon Graham.

I usually don't like Stew jokes, but this one made me laugh. And another thing: Chip Kelly is kinda fat though. Not Andy Reid fat, but fat nonetheless.

They already have. The more looming question, if you get what I'm saying, probably is "When will the media run with this?" I am not looking forward to it.

Depends on what the mad scientist is up to. Kelly still has a fair amount of good will equity. From DeSean to LeSean. You don't want to be a Sean in Philly.

Nothing good comes from a club.

Negative narratives about Cam, if not outright started, are always given wings in the Huddle. It's pretty much a given.

Trying to make cap room, plus get a quality LB in return. Interesting. I wonder if it has anything to do with Mariota.

Honestly, because most of us Panthers fans were like this when we saw it:

Glad he is OK, but that shirt.

My bad. Totally missed it.

http://cover32.com/panthers/2015/03/03/report-carolina-panthers-qb-cam-newton-on-stage-at-club-moments-before-shooting/ Cover 32 (via WSCOTV) reports Cam was on stage at a club on stage moments before a shooting.

Look, you should be arguing with Thomas, not me. I don't think CP is trash. I hate the word anyway. Too many people use it as s lazy description. Kick returner, punt returner, I still think that he is a great returner who still has upside as a receiver. This is why the Vikings will probably keep him through next season, regardless if someone offers a fourth or not. That's the real reason I would question this thread, but I won't clown it out of hand like the others.
