NFL: Offseason Thread

[jbindm]

Seems like an overpay to me:

@RapSheet: The #Browns and WR Jarvis Landry are going to agree to terms on a 5-year, $75.5M extension, sources say. He gets $47M guaranteed… crazy for those who considered him a slot receiver.

They never would have dealt for him if they hadn't already made up their midns to get a long term deal done. Maybe the Browns think they can get more out of him than Miami did. The knock on him is that he's a volume receiver who doesn't get a lot of bang for his buck for all his receptions or hit paydirt very often. I guess we'll see, but it's possible that in a different offense Landry puts up better yardage and TD numbers on fewer receptions. Worst case scenario is they overpaid for a guy who's always open and can function as a security blanket for whatever QB they draft.

Browns have an insane amount of cap space and guys like this don't end up in Cleveland very often so they have to pay to keep him there.

[Mr Janny]

Not surprised by this. He hasn't been performing up to his pay of late.

Dez gone.

That said, I fully expect him to sign with another team and do great. He's still got something in the tank, and has all of the tools.

I have this feeling he is going to pull a Richard Sherman type move meaning go to a division rival so you can stick it to your former team twice a year. Could see him go to NYG or Washington, probably not Phila.

Dez with the Giants would be a disaster. That's one too many high maintenance players in one position group. So maybe DC? I guess they have a need at receiver.

Plus all the emo stuff you have to put up with.

Saw this comment on Yahoo

• A Cowboys spokesman stated "Dez had a new contract within his grasp, but of course, Dez dropped it."

They need to have foreign teams or quit scheduling games in these places.

Or at the very least stop exporting their worst games to London. Part of the problem was the Jaguars were terrible forever and they kept being a featured team there, but generally the product the London audience has been treated to (subjected to?) has not been good.

Yeah, the expanding the market thing is pretty laughable when you keep sending the team playing in front of empty seats.

Dolphins updated their uniforms a bit. Subtle changes:

London games have some of the best attendance in all of the NFL. Last year, 2 games were played at Wembley stadium and averaged 84,000 attendees per game. 2 games were played in Twickenham Stadium and averaged 73,900 attendees per game. Those figures would have ranked #2 and #8 (respectively) in average home attendance last year.

I meant Jacksonville always goes because of their lack of attendance.
