And trade talks initiated by Richard Sherman to get out of Seattle. Patriots are interested if they can't sign Butler. Not a great day for you.
We'll see how this pans out. Sometimes a shake up is just what's needed.
Nah he's going to Miami to reunite with Byron Maxwell. I can dream, right?
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.”
It is all about money, as the "CEO" he is tasked with generating money for the league (owners). Creating an international market to make more money and increase the value of the teams is just what the owners want.
I am actually quite surprised Cutler hasn't been picked up by a team yet, even though the guy sucks, the league is hurting for QBs. And it's gotten worse since Romo officially retired.
LOL....No one is that desperate yet. To be honest though, he isn't the worst out of the available prospects and a change of scenery maybe just be what Cutler needs. The other available free agent QBs are Kaeperprick, Pickpatrick, RGIII...out of those choices I'd pick Cutler.
Lynch is now a Raider.

they still have 2 more years in Oakland, he'll be gone by the time they relocate to Vegas, that's the only reason he's signing with them

I wouldn't know how to live with myself if I was in Todd Heaps shoes. Tragic.

Didn't actually expect Lynch to come out of retirement.

I couldn't even read that story, so tragic and as a father I don't see how he will be able to live with this.
I think the Patriots, for some reason, should be punished for this outcome. I think a season-long suspension for Brady is in order....because reasons.
Actually the headlines read:
Aaron Hernandez serves full sentence and is released from prison.
Aaron Hernandez serves full sentence and is released from prison.
On that note, what if you got in a prison fight and technically died for 10 minutes and then came back to life. Could a lawyer get you out since you technically served your sentence?
Good riddance to that murderer.
