It may sound far-fetched, but you do have a point, MoLiEG. I still wish my Texans didn't get screwed when we took on the Oakland Raiders in Oak... I mean, Mexico City. This Raiders team is anything but a clown show. In fact, when I first started being a "sports fan," my first Super Bowl was the one between Tampa Bay and Oakland (Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003). So who's to say that Oakland can possibly make some noise this season or some season soon? Just remember- both my Texans and your Raiders both play in the same conference that has a team called the New England Patriots. The AFC goes through New England no matter what would-be AFC contender steps up. You don't beat NE, you don't stand a chance.
 
Texans fans... did Brock Osweiler disappoint you so much to where you want him gone? Well, guess what? He is. Brock Osweiler got traded to the Cleveland Browns as the Texans shipped him off. My fear with people who play for Houston teams is that players do MUCH better with non-Houston teams after not doing so well in Houston. That may happen to us, so I wouldn't be surprised if Osweiler goes beast with some other team. Anyhow- no more Brock on the Texans.

Hmmmm...who or what did they get back?



Elsewhere...EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING!

So which of the following will be the biggest dumpster fire in 2017?
Jets, Redskins or Browns?
 
When I saw the Browns got Osweiler:

I don't think they'll ever have a QB that's worth anything.
 
Osweiler likely won't be starting in Cleveland, the Browns will either make him their back-up or flip him for more picks.

"We're really excited to acquire a second-round draft choice in this trade," Browns executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown said. "Draft picks are extremely important to our approach in building a championship-caliber football team. We are intent on adding competition to every position on our roster and look forward to having Brock come in and compete."

The QB they really want is Garoppolo, who just had his Twitter account hacked saying he was leaving New England.

Very underrated move in Baltimore too with the Ravens getting Woodhead. He should really help that offense out.

I think the best part of it is that Cleveland might just release him anyway.

Yea they legitimately only wanted the pick and were willing to pay millions for it. They need as many draft picks as possible to grab Garoppolo from Emperor Belichick.

I agree. Until Brady is done, NE will always be the No.1 candidate to win it all. But after what seemed an endless amount of years, I think the Silver and Black can get it done.

As for you, you only need a real QB. I hope to see Tony Romo in a Texans uniform this season. That should be enough to make you the number 1 team in you division.

Until he gets hurt. The unfortunate thing about an older Romo is that he's fragile and injury prone, which is a shame because he's still a really good QB.
 
The Redskins have signed T. Pryor to a 1 year, 8 million deal.

The guy wanted to succed in Cleveland. I can't understand why the Browns did not make the move to secure his services.
 
I'm ready for another long Bengals' season. After a disappointing year with terrible offensive line play, we lose our two best linemen to free agency in Whitworth and Zeitler. Awesome. :rolleyes:

But hey, it could be worse. We could have Marvin Lewis as a coach and an injury prone offense...
 
Bob Quinn seems to be making smart decisions so far as Lions GM. I hope that his Patriots pedigree will continue to help, but the cynical Lions fan in me says I need to hold judgment on him for a few years.

Rumor in NY is that the Jets may be looking to trade Sheldon Richardson for AJ McCarron. Thoughts?

No idea who Sheldon Richardson is, but McCarron is someone I rate pretty well personally. If given experience, I think McCarron can shine. I can see the Jets needing him.
 
He is a defensive end and former 1st round pick. Most notorious for posting a SnapChat video in the locker room two hours before a game last December and running from police in July 2015 at 143 mph with a 12 year old in the car. You know, a real winner.

Ah. He'd fit in great in Cincy then.
 
The Bengals did have issues getting pressure to the quarterback last year. Peko just went to Broncos (granted he's a DT, not DE), and Gilberry and Hunt might not be back. We could use the help. There's also a rumor that ex-Cincinnati Bearcat Connor Barwin is interested in the team.
 
I love McCarron-- I think he could be a great QB, but just not in NY. I actually think he should have wound up in Arizona somehow. However, if they Bengals could get Sheldon Richardson for him that would be the steal of the century. I hope it happens for the Dolphins sake. Richardson and Atkins would be ridiculous.
 
Vegas, baby! The Oakland Raiders will indeed relocate to Las Vegas in an interesting move today. The move from Oakland's crappy stadium to Las Vegas was approved in a 31-1 vote. I think a stadium for Vegas could be completed by about 2020. It's going to be interesting seeing the future of this franchise going forward.


What are your thoughts on the soon to be Las Vegas Raiders (or maybe Vegas Raiders)?
 
Oakland and "THEH RAAAIDEHHS" are eternally linked, but I do believe you could put them in almost any city and they'll gain an immediate following just due to their legacy, and at the same time they'll have a unique run in the new city that distinguishes it from Oakland, just ask an LA Raiders fan.

If there was ever a team that fit a city, and vise-verse, for a relocation, it's Vegas and the Raiders...though I still maintain they could simply be "The Raiders" officially and still cover Oakland, LA, Vegas, and wherever else is there.

What I find odd is the lone 'No'...It was the Dolphins owner. Why?

Hey, wait a second...how can there be 32 votes? The Packers are owned by (IIRC) the city.

I'm fairly certain it is the same set up as most community owned soccer clubs in England, which have a figurehead for various stuff like this.

In regards to the Raiders, with the Warriors moving out in 2019 as well to SF, it means that the Oakland A's have Oakland all to themselves, and it could mean good things. But that's off topic....

That makes sense. I'm curious as to who that would be now.

Yeah...The A's are looking at their options as well. San Jose is the primary focus by the media, but there's other locations that have been talked about. Apparently the Colosseum is that bad, I guess it's just been cheaper to stay.

San Jose I think is off the table since the Giants fought hard to consider San Jose apart of it's media market.

From what I have read in regards to the A's, it is Oakland or bust. They can build in the lot of O.co, or there is the waterfront stadium they keep going on about.
