remember like 3 yrs ago when the NFC west was the laughing stock of the league. the seahawks made the playoffs at 7-9. what a turn around. parity is what continues to make the NFL awesome...things can change so fast.
The 49ers are going to be so good next year. Have all their draft picks and are adding players via their big cap room AND have added a big time receiver. Goodness. What do they even draft? If I'm them I probably try to get an explosive playermaker in the first as most of their receivers are possession types. Imagine a guy like Austin in the slot with Crabtree, Boldin and Davis on the field. Yikes. Team is going to be so explosive. If they have a good draft this year they could really set themselves up big time.
And all this in a season where the Texans travel to SF....great! Haha. No, but seriously, that team is going to be sick to watch. And think of this....they still have enough draft picks to throw together a package for Darelle Revis. Yikes.
I doubt they go after Revis though if the Jets want a big package in exchange. They'd probably be happy to sign Nnamdi and go to war with that.
FWIW, reports out today are that Amendola agreed to his deal with the Pats before Welker signed with Broncos. Seems like that divorce was in stone.
Bears re-sign DL Nate Collins Bucs sign WR Kevin Ogletree, LB Jonathan Casillas, waive LB Quincy Black Cardinals sign LB Jasper Brinkley Chiefs sign CB Sean Smith Colts sign DL Ricky Jean-Francois Eagles sign CB Cary Williams & S Kenny Phillips Eagles sign LB Connor Barwin Falcons sign RB Steven Jackson Giants sign S Ryan Mundy Giants re-sign LB Keith Rivers Jaguars sign DB Antwaun Molden Lions OT Jeff Backus retires Lions re-sign LS Don Muhlbach Patriots sign RB/returner Leon Washington Redskins re-sign LB Bryan Kehl Saints sign CB Keenan Lewis Seahawks sign DE Michael Bennett Vikings sign QB Matt Cassel Titans re-sign returner Darius Reynaud
As a niners fan, I hope you're right... however the team has huge holes in the secondary (even before Goldson left). With what little cap space they have left, I'm hoping they somehow either managed to sign Ed reed or maybe Nhanmdi... or get lucky in the draft at both Safety and CB. Seahawks are going to be scary next year... adding Avrill for more pass rushing as well as Harvin.
Jackson is a good fit for Atlanta. I hope he still has something left, I've always felt bad for him, his entire career has been wasted thus far. He would have consistently been in the conversation as the top RB in the league if he was on a good team.
i like turner better than jackson, i mean jackson is a workhorse and someone was saying that he is a workout warrior, i respect him as a professional but i still like turner the burner as more explosive
This... Turner avg 3.6 yards per carry last season... while "workhorse" Jackson avg 4.1 yards behind a terrible Rams line and offense.
