NFL offseason thread
Thought we could do with one of these given what is 'going down' right now.
1) Peyton Manning is almost certainly leaving the Colts and will be a free agent. Faintly incredible it has to be said. I'm not sure I can picture that massive forehead and prematurely aging face in any other uniform. Where do you reckon he'll end up? The smart money is on the Dolphins if you're asking me. Others are saying Chiefs, Jets (never in a million years, have you seen our cap situation), Seahawks and Cardinals. I'd say that the Titans are the dark horse here. Feel he'd be a good fit there, fairly stable team which he could spice up.
2) Bountygate. So that Saints players had money up for grabs on knocking Brett Favre and Kurt Warner out of the game. Pretty serious accusation in itself, but the fact that the GM, Head Coach and defensive co-ordinator were involved and in some cases actively participating is serious. Expect some very hefty punishments, reckon that Gregg Williams won't be seeing that Rams' defense for a good year or so. Jonathon Vilma might be suspended for several games as well.
3) The DRAFT. Who do you want your team to take? As a Jets fan I'd like to see us get a good safety and a pass rusher. Not so worried about the offensive line, I reckon that's a hole that can be patched in free agency. So I'd like to see us pick up 'Bama's Mark Barron. The guy has the right kind of swagger for a Rex Ryan defense.
Go nuts.
