The Browns' quarterback is in rehab and star wide receiver is suspended for drug use.
Can't wait for the 2016 offseason.

By MorisI jus want a team man…that's all.
LA has more of a chance of getting a football team, then Pittsburgh has of getting a Basketball team. We ain't had shit since the ABA days, and that team went belly up after a season.
You could always join greatness and become a Steelers fan.

I adopted the Ravens after playing with them on Madden. Dat purple uniform dough.
Watched one NFL game in my life: this year's Superbowl. Already excited for the new season, shit was sensational.
By alligatorjandroPatriots going for the repeatcheaters prosper. real shit
but between the draft and FA, panthers better get it done. i can't stand cam but at the same time i refuse to watch him get beaten to a pulp before week 4 again
By jWILL253By alligatorjandroPatriots going for the repeat
Fuck you.
Embrace your inner Jaguar, Gata…
What do you think the Hawks should do this offseason?
I am hoping to snag a WR or RB in the first... Sammie Coates or Melvin Gordon but I know Melvin Gordon isn't falling that far

As far as free agency is concerned, we should stay THEE fuck away from any WR's & TE's. I'm tired of every dude we sign becoming a bust who can't stay healthy. As far as the draft... I'm looking at Dorial Green-Beckham. He's exactly what the Hawks go for: a talented player that most teams will avoid because of overblown behavioral issues.But the dude can play.
Also, I'd like to see us draft for some depth at the defensive side. Byron Maxwell is most likely gone, as he probably wants too much money, which means Jeremy Lane is the next man up. Too bad he's hurt right now, though. So, make a couple late-round picks at CB, make some moves at OL, DL & WR. I think our RB depth is fine, and I don't see Marshawn leaving at all.

We traded for a WR but we haven't really signed any big name WRs under Pete's rule... Regardless Harvin came up big in the playoffs and Super Bowl. But Russ needs a real game changer at WR so we can balance the attack a bit a be ready for Lynch to retire or to help prolong his effectiveness.
He really needs to let us know soon, because it really affects our draft.
that doesn't look so bad i guess
By YamabroJameis has tiny hands. Dude will be a bust confirmed.i bet he loves tacos. just look at him...
Is there an easy way to watch any pre-season stuff if you're not in the States? Any of the apps worth a look?
By nathanIs there an easy way to watch any pre-season stuff if you're not in the States? Any of the apps worth a look?
I think its a NFL network/ESPN exclusive thing.

Bah.
I do have AppleTV; if I switch that to the thing which lets me access US Netflix, maybe I'll be able to see NFL shit there too. Hankering for more stuff considering how shit United have been recently. Didn't know the NFL season was so short, after the SuperBowl I was like "cool there'll be some games in three months".
apparently not
By OmegaAny Eagles fans or am I alone in my sorrow?
Eagles fan here since 1999, the beginning of the Reid/McNabb era. Lot's of ups and downs since then...mostly downs. XD
Wah wahhhhhhhh.
Anytime you get the opportunity to trade your Top 5 RB for a third year player fresh off an ACL injury you have to do it.
fuck this team. luckily i don't really care about football anymore
Mariota better be the next Tom Brady only with less cheating.
