    Seattle's model of building around young bucks like Kevin Williams and Cliff Avril

    Depending on the contract this could be a good sleeper pick up.

    I'm fine with Hartline. He's the caliber of slot I figured we'd pursue. I like Eddie Royal better though. Has Amendola not been cut yet?

    Yeah, I know - did you read it? As I said, he'll leave if he's offered a wad of cash. Otherwise, he'll call "the greatest head coach ever" because he is "a Patriot forever" and "New England has been and always will be my home."

    Better be for cheap. It'll be funny if he does sign and Seth from Mad Radio ever interviews him. I remember him going off on Hartline before

    Hartline will be a fine #3/#4 guy if he signs here. Still need a guy who can play opposite Nuk, whether it be through FA or the draft.

    So the Texans' side of the Andre Johnson is starting to emerge... If the Hartline pursuit is accurate, seems pretty obvious BOB wants a Wes Welker, which would help explain the idea behind AJ's reduced role.

    He's taking a physical?

    Does that mean if he passes the Texans physical he signs, or does he take a physical with everyone he visits?

    Well, he did have back to back 1,000 yard seasons in 2012-13. That's not shabby. If he's cheap, I don't have a problem with it.

    Can you imagine this team if we had a guy who had back to back 1000 yard seasons in 2012-2013?

    Pickett made a huge difference for us last year and he's 35.

    I don't know what the Texans want to do next year so I can't say whether they should spend money on Wilfork.

    If they are trying to contend for the playoffs next year, then they should.

    If they are trying to do a mini rebuild that punts next year, then they shouldn't waste the money.

    He's going to be used as Dre next year.

    Possession wide out working the slots/first down marker.

    DeAndre is the new Dre. Hartline is the new Kevin Walter.

    Bears are shopping Brandon Marshall.

    At under a 10 million dollar cap hit for the next couple seasons and a cap hit of 10.4 million in 2017...I wouldnt mind taking a look.

    I was fine with Andre renegotiating his contract at about 8 million per...but Marshall has more left in the tank at this point in their careers.

    Or, we could just say F wide receiver...let Kareem go...draft CB and WR early in the draft...and then sign Suh and have some fun.

    Suh + Watt = Sex in all your mouths.

    I can't imagine BOB being ok with Brandon Marshall, and I also don't really see much point in investing big dollars in a WR when we probably aren't going to have a solid QB for 2 years.
