    Never been much of a FA guy, but it's still discouraging to see the strong teams getting reinforcements while our roster is getting purged.

    Loosing 3 backs ups (some not even the #1 backup at their position) is considered being purged?

    What did they get in return? Sproles might be the most "Chip Kelly" player in the NFL. Good fit.

    Sproles and Shady? Wow, their backfield is pretty explosive.

    Maybe the Eagles figured since they couldn't land Byrd and Revis that they're just going to score 100 points a game instead? :lolol:

    Not exactly sure yet, but the Golden Tate deal seems pretty reasonable to me. 5 yrs 31mill 13 guaranteed. Not as active of a WR with receptions, but he's supposedly got one of the lowest drop %'s.

    Yeah, that and the Verner contract appear to be best value signings of the bigger names so far.

    I kind of figured he'd be a 4-3 DE when the dust settled. But man.... going from the Steelers to the Raiders is like going from Kate Upton to Rosie O'Donnell.

    Yeah but when players get a little older and have their Super Bowl ring, they will go for the money.

    Steve Smith visits Ravens.

    Hey guys just thought you all would be interested in case you didnt know already but I live in NYC and today in the Daily News is an article about Steve Smith visiting the Ravens only hours after being released by the Panthers. Definitely not good news fellas...

    Didn't realise he'd been released... was it a cap casualty?

    I can't see him as a Raven, for some reason. Just doesn't seem to fit.

    I don't see it happening and who cares we are talking about a 35 year old WR. Yeah Moss and TO were still good but they also weren't 5'9".

    If New England signs him he will lead the league in receptions and YAC if not TD's
