Rumours that Brees is being shopped Bucs mentioned, with saints looking at Winston.

Dear god this off season.

Don't think Bucs would trade 1st pick for 36 year old QB.

Where have you heard that?

As said only rumours.

Not sure I beleive that although that happening may explain the Graham one. Would mean we are effectively using 2015 as a transition year, getting high paid players out for players and picks and faeture heavy in the draft.

Dont think Brees should ever leave NOLA unless retiring. Wouldnt be fitting considering the effect he has has on the city.

Colts have signed Andre Johnson.

Gore rumoured to be going there aswell.

Colts gonna have a hell of an offence.

Gore
Johnson
Wayne
Hilton

I have no idea what the Phins are aiming for, but it's going to be fun finding out next season!

 

[Irishkid]

Murray is off to the Eagles and Matthews is now going to Oakland.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I will say again crazy off season.

 

[munstermuffin]

I'm looking forward to new season already. Rex and Bills is what I'm looking forward to seeing.

Interesting read about the Saints Graham trade for those interested:

Spiller to the saints.
Stills to Dolphins for a 3rd round.
Harvin to the Bills
Browner to the Saints
McFadden to Cowgirls

Phins are going crazy. I really hope it works, but I feel we should also sign Gronk's mother as a LB/Safety. That'll stop him!

Getting boring now ...

Anyway ... Dallas silly for not making an effort with Murray. Will come back to bite us in the backside.

NFL Draft tonight. Who else is staying up to watch it? I love it, its such an interesting and key part of the season. Hope the move to Chicago doesnt detract, at least the place won't be full of idiotic Jets fans booing everything, including their pick

Sadly I have exams tommorrow or I might have watched the first round. Really hope that Raiders are lucky enough to get Leonard Willliams. He'd be a perfect fit and seems like a nice dude to boot. Probably not though.

 

[Rich Taff]

Really interesting draft this year. No real standout QB's, and some pretty special looking WR's. Think everyone is going to be hoping to get the next OBJ.
Phins movements in the trades have been very interesting, so looking forward to see who they pick up.

You guys seen this?

What a convoluted trade. Is he really worth all that?

This is the key of the draft, Mariota or Winston. Mariota could be a franchise player, might not be. Those teams listed are short at QB so it comes down to how much they want to bet on him being their franchise QB for the next few years compared to how much the teams in prime position where they could and will go want to get.

It could be a hectic start to the draft

 

[Rich Taff]

Sometimes I swear some teams just let the nutter on the bus ramble on and on, forgetting what they were originally saying, then offer it as a draft trade.

 

[big ginger 8]

I'll be staying up for the first round anyway. Hoping that Gurley falls to 23 because from the limited tape I've seen he could be fantastic. As that's very unlikely I think I'd prefer an o-lineman as the Lions can use someone to go with Reiff and Warford.

 

[SelimNiai]

Very interested to see what we do with our picks after our free agents/trade moves. Do we get a QB this year for Brees to train up, a la Farve/Rodgers? What replacements can we get a TE and WR for the players we lost.
