Several league sources are talking about Ndamukong Suh to #Dolphins as if it has already happened. DeMarco Murray returning to #Cowboys, too

 

The fact that there is no state income tax in Florida would mean he would be able to keep several million dollars of this agreement, which is a big difference when you consider that state income taxes in other states like California (13.3 percent) and Michigan (4.25 percent).

 

good god. no wonder so many FAs go to the bucs

 Eagles Remain Front Runners For CB Byron Maxwell

 

But adds that they may have to choose between him and S Devin McCourty.

Maxwell, 26, has played out his four-year, $2,153,452 rookie contract and will now be an unrestricted free agent next week.

In 2014, Maxwell recorded 39 tackles, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and 12 pass defenses over the course of 13 games. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 45 cornerback out of 108 qualifying players.

 

Good fit for both team and player.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached an agreement with S Major Wright.

Situation to watch now in Tampa: S Dashon Goldson is no lock to return, even with $4m of his $7.5m guaranteed. Cut, trade both possible.

 

 

Chatter here in FL is that Goldson, LT Anthony Collins, DE Michael Johnson, and P Michael Koenen are on the chopping block because of high salary & low production. Even sweeter about Collins and Johnson is they just became Bucs last year!

Notice how the bucs were "big spenders" last year and we as fans were "so jealous" .. now they are paying the price. Careful what you ask for folks. a 2-14 team in cap touble? G damn

 

seems like all the big FA spenders never put together a well rounded team, and they never can win consistently. ITs all about value and production.

I love Gettleman cause when money is tight, he finds cheap players that can contribute and produce. We have yet to see what he can do when he doesn't have Hurney's poo to deal with. He doesn't need to pay tiffany's price to get tiffany's production..

 

teams like the bucs pay tiffany's price and dont even get the production they need. they use FA as a bandaid for not drafting well. All the teams spending big money are in trouble and they know it. desperate. We are drafting well and have a plan..

 Tampa Bay Times reports that the Buccaneers have also re-signed DE Larry English.

 

The Bucs also re-signed LB Jason Williams.

 

 

Busy day. The also re-signed TE Luke Stocker.

boy, that was some well spent cash

 

They thought so last year. This year, buyer's remorse?

 

Sounds like they're thinking about cutting those 4 while they have the cap room to absorb the hits. Instead of hanging onto Collins and Johnson and sending the message that if your contract is big enough, then you're immune to being cut and can act however lazy you want.

Texans re-sign OT Derek Newton (5 years, $26.5 million): C- Grade
I can't say I understand this contract. As I mentioned in the Doug Free re-signing below, chemistry is very important when it comes to the offensive line. However, Derek Newton is just not that good.

Newton played well in the second half of the season last year, but he has otherwise been a pedestrian blocker in his 4-year career, especially when it's come to pass protection. Newton, while run blocking well, was poor when it came to shielding Ryan Fitzpatrick and the other quarterbacks in 2014, so there's no reason to expect him to improve in that regard going forward. I would've been fine with Houston retaining him cheaply, but this contract is just outrageous. Quite simply, the Texans overpaid.

 

 

Cowboys re-sign OT Doug Free (3 years, $15M; $6M guaranteed): A- Grade
Chemistry is extremely important when it comes to maintaining a strong offensive line. Dallas finally got the talent together up front, so keeping all of the blockers together for another season is huge for Tony Romo and whomever starts at running back next year.

Doug Free is a talented right tackle who has played exceptionally well the past couple of seasons. Age is beginning to be a concern with him - he turned 31 in January - but the price is extremely good; $6 million guaranteed over three years for one of the better right tackles in the business is a great deal.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
