NFL offseason thread

Andrew Luck should ask for 5/120 with $70 guaranteed. Not injury guaranteed. But for real guaranteed.

 

It's usually recovering journalist that reports these. Where the hell has he been?

 

Out drinking with Russell Wilson.

Russ is buying.

 

It's funny. When I was covering my fourth, no fifth, Super Bowl, I was with about a dozen prominent media members at a dinner paid for by someone other than myself when [insert star NFL player's name] stops by to say hello and shoot the shit....

I miss RJ.

 

Skins sign Junior Galette to a 1-year deal for the league minimum.

Steelers finally get some veteran help at cornerback.

 

Good thing for them Chip Kelly hates black people.

New Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Brandon Boykin clarifies comments about Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly

 

Foster with a groin injury in practice. Sounds serious. Played 16 games twice in 6 years. About to be twice in 7 years.

Shocking to see Jemele Hill being the one interviewing Ray Rice on Outside the Lines this morning ... Shocking, I say.

 

-What I think the voters will do for 2016:

Brett Favre
Orlando Pace
Kevin Greene
Tony Dungy
John Lynch
Ken Stabler and Chuck Howley via seniors committee

-What I would like to see for 2016:

Brett Favre
Sterling Sharpe
Orlando Pace
Terrell Davis
Marvin Harrison
Kenny Easley and Chuck Howley via seniors committee
Steve Sabol OR Jim Tunney

 

I don't think there's any way that Harrison doesn't make it in 2016.

And while the voters keep making Dungy a finalist, he doesn't seem to get much traction once he gets there.

Favre and Pace (who people were surprised didn't get in first-ballot last year) are the two locks. Greene's as close to a lock as can be -- he will be the longest waiting finalist and the top defensive guy. I'd hate to think a spot will come down to Harrison or Owens but that's been how the voting has gone.

Sterling Sharpe has no chance.

Favre, Pace, Harrison and Greene will be four. The wildcard for the final spot is Owens. If it's not him, I have no idea which way the committee will go. Coryell, Dungy and Johnson made the final 15 as coaches. Pace, Harrison and Greene are also holdovers. That leaves Andersen, Davis, Lynch and Warner. I would hope they'd go Anderson or Coryell.
