Martellus Bennett to the Packers! Great pick up for them and an upgrade over Cook IMO. Rodgers sounds happy about it too.

All these moves and we've done nothing. I guess Pete and John are going to pick up an entire offensive line in the draft.
Brandon Cooks for #32 draft pick!!! Wow!!!!!!!!
I sure am loving the chances for a repeat for the Patriots! Now if they only keep Butler and sign Hightower, I'll be sold!

If I'm an NFL GM the first thing I would do is block Bill Belichick's phone number as spam.
This. When will these guys learn?
I'm really liking the FA decisions in Miami. FINALLY taking care of their own. Showing stability and continuity. Signing Timmons is an under-rated move. People are saying they overpaid. They needed a true MLB AND another OLB. The smart thing to do is get one in the FA and one in the draft, so signing Timmons was a good move. Now they can draft a top OLB and have Timmons, Alonso, and....who knows....maybe Foster slips to Miami in the draft because of his little spat at the combine. I'd love to see Miami take advance of another top 10 player slipping to them.
Alonso, Timmons, Foster would be a DRAMATIC improvement of their LB unit.

Raiders "seriously" looking at bringing Marshawn Lynch out of retirement. LOL, good luck with that. I'm sure he's sitting at home reading this news with this look on his face.
Offseason has been pretty boring. I still want to know where Romo and Cutler are going...
My money is on Romo going to the broncos and Cutler going to Goodwill.
^^^LMFAO....and Kaepernick giving blowjobs to just get by.....
I was all for Romo getting a fresh start but after thinking about it how many teams are willing to take a chance on trading for a guy that ends up on IR every year. With Romo and Gronkowski its not a question of if they're going to get injured, its when.
I said it before and I'll say it again, "That ****ing Goodell".
Opie isn't far behind either...
From the Milwaukee JS:
PHOENIX - The Green Bay Packers still want to play a game outside the United States, and they believe a potential matchup could be looming.
At the NFL meetings this week, Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy said a 2018 game at Los Angeles could be moved to London. The Rams are building a $2.66 million stadium in Inglewood, Calif., that will open before the 2019 season, but are using the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum until then.
“Since they will be in a temporary stadium,” Murphy said, “that might be an opportunity.”
It’s a tricky proposition trying to get the Packers an international game. They are unwilling to surrender any games at Lambeau Field, knowing how important they are to fans and the local economy. But opposing teams have been unwilling to move a home game against the Packers, knowing it’s a likely sellout because of how well the fan base travels.
A team playing in a temporary stadium can be compelled to shift a home game to London, which is why Murphy and the Packers are eyeing the 2018 Rams game. They will not play in London in 2017.
London is no longer the Packers' only option for an international game, though it is their strong preference. The league recently branched out to Mexico City, where the Oakland Raiders hosted the Houston Texans last season. The Raiders will return to Mexico City for a game against the New England Patriots in the 2017 season.
The NFL’s introduction to Mexico City wasn’t perfect. A fan pointed a laser in Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler’s eyes during a play. Murphy said he talked with officials with the Raiders and Texans about their experience, and he would be willing to have the Packers play there.
“There’s some issues they need to work through,” Murphy said. “Not always a good idea when your quarterback has laser beams in his eyes. So they’re working through those things. Yeah, I think our preference would be London, but I think we’d be open to a Mexico City game.”
A third option for an international market is China. The NFL expects to play a game in China as early as 2018.
Murphy said he has talked with general manager Ted Thompson about the possibility, and both are opposed to it.
“I’d have to know the circumstances,” Murphy said. “… That could really wipe a team out. So if you don’t have a good bye afterwards, that would worry about the effect that would have on the rest of your season.”

Romo is going to be a broadcast analyst....watch him end up on IR before he even makes it to the broadcasters booth.
Kidding aside I wish him luck. I think he did the best he could with a really mediocre Dallas Team for the better part of his career.

Romo is an improvement over Phil Simms. Fran Drescher would be too, though...
Well, I guess now he's thinking "how am I gonna get my cleats back down?" with this look on his face. Haha it's happening.Raiders "seriously" looking at bringing Marshawn Lynch out of retirement. LOL, good luck with that. I'm sure he's sitting at home reading this news with this look on his face.
Guess I've got to eat my words.
