The Falcons cut Robert Alford. He's 30, and coming off a disappointing season, but I guess they needed the cap space. I wouldn't mind the 49ers going after him, and I think I saw a tweet that stated they are interested. They really need cornerback help as evidenced from last season. Actually the entire secondary needs help. Alford has a lot of starting experience, so maybe he can bounce back from a bad year.
Would trading Joe Flacco to Washington be viable? I think he would work out there.

One of the more intriguing story lines of this off-season might be... Where the hell are the Raiders playing in 2019? Does anyone even want them to play in their city for a year?

So that rumor they might play in San Fran is bunk?

Anybody watch Mic'd up? It features a lot of the coaches this time, more than normal.
And gave us a window in New England ... TB12 argued and lobbied for all 3 impact plays with Belicheck (the game ending FG, switch from run to pass in the middle of the 3rd, changing the personal back to run the same play a third time, resulting in the huge Gronk catch).
Brady might be more essential than most people think.

I enjoy the mic'ed up videos quite a bit although I haven't seen the one you just mentioned. The ones with Belichick are really interesting. On post game interviews he's always dour and ' on to (next city)'. He doesn't celebrate TDs during the game probably because the game isn't over. But he can be really feisty on the sidelines. He doesn't have a problem telling a complaining opponent player to F off.
NFL News
- Guard Matt Slauson announced his retirement after 10 seasons as a starter. Slauson played for 4 teams during his career and was last starting at guard for the Colts. He suffered a back injury and it led to his decision to retire. Slauson became a player-coach essentially during the season and helped that way.
- Atlanta continued to shed salary ahead of free agency. Today they announced they were moving on from long time kicker Matt Bryant after 10 seasons. Bryant leaves as the all-time scorer in franchise history and made many game winning kicks according to Arthur Blank. He gave him props for that. The Falcons decided to go with a younger , cheaper option in Giorgio Tavecchio who filled in for the older Bryant for 3 games when he was injured.
- NFL.COM discussed what a great personal man that Gil Brandt was in Dallas in this article and how he scouted and picked numerous players.

Flacco is done as a starter IMO. I don't see the point in getting him. He shouldn't be starting, and won't be the future. He's already 33, and Alex Smith is 34. Why have two middling starters on the roster? They're not going to just give up on Alex Smith after they just got him, even with his injury. They would be stuck with a massive cap hit if he was cut as well. If he can't play that would be another thing, but now he's on the road to recovery. They'll probably look into the draft to try and get someone they think has potential to take over one day.
