Foles is a stiff. Just to give an idea of what Philly thought of him - they re-signed Mark Sanchez.

Yeah, well, emphasis being "what Philly thought". Chip Kelly just seems to be flailing away adding and trading guys. The LeSean McCoy deal seemed odd, trading a stud, young back for a nobody coming off a major injury.

Agree. I do think Foles's 2013 numbers were misleading, but he's at least as good, and probably better than Bradford. I though Foles was improving too before his injury last year, and he seemed to be a pretty good fit for Kelly's offense.

Kinda like Bill Parcels and Pete Carroll.

If you look at stats, historically 26-27 is where RBs start to regress. Considering he was coming off a not-great year where he was running East to West far more than North and South, Kelly is saving a lot of cap space. And that "nobody" was Defensive Rookie of the year for the PFW like other scrubs before him like Ndamukong Suh and Luke Kuechly. He's coming off a major injury but Alonso had a great rookie season and is only 24.

He also played for Chip at Oregon.

Chip Kelly believes that his offensive system is so good that he can plug any moderately talented skill player into it and have them be successful. He has now figured out he needs a better defense.

Makes sense as the Saints would save over $30M over the next 2 seasons by doing so. Highly unlikely though, in large part because so few teams have the cap space to pay a QB $52M over the next 2 seasons.

Rolle and royal for the bears

Low-risk signings. Rolle will immediately be a leader on D and Royal fills the void at slot receiver. Nothing spectacular but the team needs some solid veteran players.

Hearing the Bears may have some interest in ILB Brandon Spikes as a 2-down run-stuffer.

Addition: Conte and Melton join Lovie in Tampa.

ChitownSpaceForRent · « **Reply #2439 on:** March 12, 2015, 01:03:08 PM »

I always liked Eddie Royal. Don't he kinda dissappeared though. Don't know if it was injury related or just not good enough.

He's had some injury issues, but he didn't get huge volume in SD. He occasionally got red zone looks but I'm sure Rivers felt a lot safer throwing it to Antonio Gates.

Hopefully he does well as a slot guy for the Bears, Cutler liked throwing to him when they were on the Broncos. He'll never be a #1 guy but at least Alshon has got some potential in that area.

Just one more highly overpaid receiver and the Vikings hit the Trifecta!!

Jennings just was cut by the Vikings. If the Packers can pick him up cheap...

Even if he would resign for cheap with the Pack, it just make zero sense for the team to do. You have two elite WR's at or nearly at the prime of their careers, Cobb and Nelson of course, both making top WR dinero. You have a clearly ascending player in Adams, who at times looked like a budding star in just his rookie season. So where would Jennings fit, your fourth WR? No way would I want him taking snaps from Adams, who's younger and on the rise vs. Jennings, who's what, past 30 already, and likely declining.

It won't happen and it shouldn't.

Reason #37 why the Browns are losers.

3 yrs / $21 mil for Tramon.

I realize this is an NFL contract, but c'mon, man.
