NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Good signing by the Niners.

 

If 1 and 31 doesn't get a front office off their collective asses . . . Nothing will.

 

However . . .

IF Joe Thomas decides to retire - and - they fail to sign Solder, then all this activity may be for naught.

 

would love to see Jordy Nelson as an Eagle, but they don't have cap room for him. People say he lost a step and that's probably true, but he can still play and I would love to see him with Wentz or Foles.

 

I’ll be shocked if Solder plays anywhere outside NE. A unique situation to say the least.

 

He just signed with the New York Football Giants.

 

Wow, nice move in by the Giants.

 

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

 

My timing is impeccable

 

Right now the Pats have Antonio Garcia as the LT. He was a 3rd round pick last year that came down with some strange virus, misssed the entire season and lost a ridiculous amount of weight as a result. Less than ideal situation.
In reality I have to assume Cannon will slide over leaving a hole on the right side.

 

Tyrann Mathieu has been released by the Cardinals

Julius Peppers signed a 1 year $5 million deal to stay with the Panthers

 

It just dropped. Joe Thomas is retiring.

 

see ya in Canton Joe.

 

This is just sad for the Browns. Well in a pinch Hubbard can play LT. Hope they get a good one in the draft so Hubbard can stay at RT

 

I really thought Joe would be back as they are looking to field one of the better teams he would have been on.

 

That's a good point... I thought the same. Just wasn't to be.

 

In Joe's words...

Browns tackle Joe Thomas took every snap deep into an eleventh year before an injury ended what would become his last season. On his podcast, The ThomaHawk Show, Thomas explains that the decision was driven by his body’s inability to continue to absorb the grind.

“As a competitor, you always think that you can still do it, but there a point in your career that you get to that crossroads and you say I just can’t do it anymore, I just don’t have it in my body,” Thomas said. “My mind is good, but my body is not willing, and I think that’s where I am.”

Thomas said that he has a knee that simply won’t allow him to continue to practice and play.

“For me, looking down the barrel of a knee replacement, I think that definitely becomes a decision where you’re like, ‘Hey, this football has been amazing, it’s been more than I could ever have expected, but you have to take other things into consideration if you’re deciding if you’re going to be able to play football anymore,'” Thomas said. “The last two to three years of my career it’s been almost impossible for me to practice.”

And so Thomas will be moving on. The sure-fire Hall of Famer never played in a playoff game, and only one of his teams had a record above .500.

Lions release Ebron...

 

Cleveland maybe trading back and scooping up a tackle later in the first?
Hell, they could still pick whoever’s at 1 and 4 and then trade up for an OL in the mid-late first.

 

They can probably scoop one with an early 2nd honestly.
