NFL 2018 OFF-Season thread

[KNIGHT OF THE LAKE]

Before the weekend's over, hell, maybe before it even starts, either Brady, Belichick, the Pats or all three will issue a press release saying the story is fake news.

It was fake. Someone cat fished Rob Borges and said he was Brady’s agent Don Yee. Kirk and Callehan read the text thread on air. Borges is already suspended and his career is likely over since he’s been in trouble for plagerizing before. Borges is a scumbag anyways. Bledsoe used to be his only source and he’s hated Belichick ever since he traded him. Also there was that time he tried to punch a cripple at a boxing event. Guy is a grade A scumbag. He got worked here, couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy though.

Don’t know why anyone would believe this anyways. Brady’s notorious for taking pay cuts and his wife is richer than him. He’ll never need the money.

Everyone really wants to piss the Patriots off again, don't they?

Every time it happens, they curb stomp the league.

I don't think Borges has ever stopped wanting to piss them off. I wouldn't be surprised if when he dropped this story he had a freudian slip and called it a white whale before correcting himself.

Jerry Jones is miserable and it's hilarious

The good news for Jones is his beautiful AT&T Stadium will play host to the NFL Draft this spring. The bad news for him is that when the Eagles are on the clock with the 32nd pick, they'll be introduced as Super Bowl champions.

HA! Delightful!

Will Washington win a Superbowl before Dallas does? They're the only other NFC East team that hasn't within the last 10 years now.

I'm just going to say this, Jones is a crappy owner. He lucked into the Walker trade and Johnson was the brains behind that team. He had the most stacked roster in the 90's and they achieved far less than they should have because Jones meddled and got rid of Johnson and his franchise has been crap ever since.

He gets credit for the first 6 years of his tenure when the last 20 has been disastrous despite having some talent.

Apparently Eagles OC Frank Reich is the Colt's new lead target, honestly after what the Eagles did in the NFC Championship and Superbowl with Foles I'm surprised he's not a hotter commodity

Maybe because Reich is seen, correctly or not, as an OC in name only since Doug Pederson calls the plays on game day. That’s just my guess.

That the guy who used to be backup (and successor to IIRC) for Jim Kelly?

According to Bleacher Report, it’s official, the Colts hired Frank Reich as their new head coach.

Is that with ink on the contract or are the Colts just announcing things ahead of time again?

If I'm Reich I try and bring in Foles since you really don't know the health of Luck yet long term. And before people chime in , well Luck is supposed to be healthy and they have Bissett , well I'm sure Reich would rather have a guy who won through playoffs and Super Bowl than a guy who had a losing record in regular season.

A logical strategy, but I don’t think the Eagles will let Foles walk since it’s been reported Carson Wentz won’t be fully ready for action following his knee surgery until August.

Yeah its what the Eagles demand for Foles and whether they decide to risk it. Of course the Colts can't walk into the 2018 season at QB thinking well Bissett is the answer since he really didn't set the world on fire. So maybe drafting a QB in the 2nd round is the way to go.

Also you have to be irked if your the Colts , had they had a coach in place and Ballard's history with Kansas City ....is he possibly pushing for an Alex Smith ? Because Smith can show he can win games. Plus he he's steady and the fact that Cleveland came close with a 2nd round pick , maybe the Colts get him for a 2nd/3rd for him ?

Yeah, I think Jacoby Brissett's ceiling may be a good backup - not a potential starter like Garoppolo was.
