Joe Flacco is the highest paid player in the NFL. I'm happy I'm not a Ravens fan.

Not sure if this is just headline-reading.. but it's not like the new extension with Flacco is terrible for the team. He gets tons of guaranteed money for the next three years, and the team frees up cap space now. They were not going to cut him, even if he's overpaid... so the only major risk is injury.

Flacco is a good QB that can make all the throws.
Maybe he's more like Jeff Hostetler or Brad Johnson or Mark Rypien or Trent Dilfer but he's still won. |

I'd rather pay Flacco $30 million than Bradford $15.
edit: I left off the "MM" on Bradford's accidentally but I still like it so I'll just leave it. Last edited by Logan : 03-02-2016 at 04:19 PM. |

So, lots of franchise tags announced -- what I see so far:
Denver - Uber Von Miller Washington - QB Kirk Cousins KC - S Eric Berry Chicago - WR Alshon Jeffrey LA Rams - CB Trumaine Johnson Carolina - CB Josh Norman Buffalo - OT Cordy Glenn ...I'm sure I'm missing something here. No giant surprises, I guess. 'Tis the season. |

As a player I'll always remember Manning as a cheater who joined up with a bigger group of cheaters at the end of his career to be carried to a Super Bowl.

Not NFL related but SEC Network airing some of Peyton's games while he was at Rocky Top. Great to see this "old stuff". Man I miss Ron Franklin.

Ended up watching a couple of those games last night. The SEC title game vs Auburn, which we were at and then the 1985 UT vs UGA game, with "inexperienced quarterbacks" Manning vs Mike Bobo.

Saw the UGA game as well. I'll always wonder how good could Robert Edwards have been in the league. Such size and power with a definite 5th gear. Man, it was so cool re-watching that game. Peyton could really sling that sucker around too.

The Colts resign Dwayne Allen for 29.4 million dollars / 4 years.
Let the overpaying begin!

This seems like a no-brainer good move for the Titans, right? I don't know how much of the contract remains in salary for them to pick-up, but it has to be well below market value (even after an uninspired season). Profound position of need for them, and establishing a legitimate rushing threat would have to be really good for the young QB. |

It is funny to see this. It is also amazing that you have a multi-million-dollar organization run by people steeped in numbers and measurables and analytics, and there still seems to be something so personally unlikable about Chip Kelly that the Eagles are driven, in part, by trying to eliminate any memory of his time with the team. Dude must put the ass in asshole. |

I read the Maxwell story yesterday, and was meh! But excited about Alonso, if he can stay healthy. Does depend on the picks though - they were talking about a sixth for Maxwell, no reports what the compensation for Alonso would be

agreed. He'd likely have never signed there in FA but his new deal looks to be for around 6m a season and that's pretty low for a starting caliber running back on a second contract. |

Bruce Irvin is going to get $$$$$$ for basically accomplishing almost nothing. And he will already turn 29 this year despite only being in his 5th season in the league.

Colts resign the league's oldest player, Adam Vinatieri, to a 2 year deal.
Hopefully old Adam has some leg left in him. His field goal percentage has been over 90% the past two seasons.

Looks like the Giants are signing Snacks Harrison as well, $8-9MM a year. I think he may have looked better than he actually is from playing alongside all that DL talent with the Jets.
