NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Maybe Jerry and the Cowboys should try Manning

 

...or Brett Favre?

 

I was going to post yesterday that they should call favre before Vick and the Favre went and joked he would play for the cowboys as long as they assured him he wouldn't get hit lol

 

Eric Ebron carted off field at practice, Lions fear Achilles injury​

Former top-10 pick Eric Ebron is aiming for a third-year breakout following a less-than-stellar first two seasons in the NFL. Those plans may have taken a major hit on Saturday.

The tight end was carted off the field after being unable to apply pressure on his right leg, per multiple reporters on the scene at Lions practice. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport said on Inside Training Camp Live that the team fears it could be an Achilles injury.

 

can the eagles trade braford to dallas ?

 

Yes they can, but Jerruh won't accept in time, and Bradford will end up in Cleveland with RG3 backing him up... in a contract dispute.

 

Great HOF Speeches today. The last minute of Kevin Greene's was awesome. Class act CLASS OF 2016.

 

*ROFL*

;D

 

please take sammy. i'll make sure he's at the airport on time. haha

 

Super lame the HoF game got cancelled. Thanks NFL.

 

The game I want to see comes on Thursday night anyways.

 

I want to know what kind of paint they used that caused it to get that freaking hard. It didn't look very thick, so I don't think that was the issue.

 

How can you cancel a football game. They have too much money to not fix that field well in advance.

 

It was an embarrassment to see the game called because of paint. How stupid can you get?

 

Johnson at peace with $8M pay cut to return to Panthers

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) ? It took only one free agent visit to NFC south rival Tampa Bay to convince defensive end Charles Johnson of what he'd known all along ? he only wanted to play for the Carolina Panthers.

His heart was in Carolina, and that was never going to change.

It's why the 30-year-old Johnson took an $8 million pay cut this offseason to return for his 10th season with the defending NFC champion Panthers and a chance to "chase that (Super Bowl) ring."

"All I know is Carolina. All I have wanted to know is Carolina," said Johnson, who was selected in the third round of the 2007 NFL draft by the Panthers. "It's kind of hard to leave something that you have invested so much in. The sky is the limit for this team. I want to help take this team to where we need to be."

Being a business owner himself ? Johnson plans to open a restaurant this fall in Charlotte, North Carolina ? he understands the team's decision to release him in March after he tallied just one sack in 2015 and spent seven games on short-term injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Johnson was set to make $11 million in 2016, so he saw the move coming.

Atta Boy, Johnson ! I like stories like this. $8M is no chump change either.

 

I know this sounds like I'm making a joke...but...I'm looking forward to seeing that Jags/Jets game...

I bet you thought, you'd never here that sentence outside of New York or Jacksonville...

 

I agree. I find that game interesting along with the Saints and Patriots and the Broncos and Bears.

Im just straight up looking forward to some football.

I think the Jags are going to be pretty good this season. Im looking forward to seeing that offense at work.

i read this morning it was rubber pellets were all over the field.

Deangelo Williams called out how they lost their kicker last year on that field as well due to poor conditions.
