Planning to visit Tampa Bay after.

He went to school at Georgia Tech so I'm assuming that if they want him they could sign him.

Hope he doesn't leave, he had a bit higher ceiling than other FAs than what he is now. They have changed schemes almost yearly.
 
LMAO Chip Kelly...unless this is somehow part of a bigger trade (don't see how that could be), then that trade is god awful. Older, more expensive, and not even as good as Nick Foles. What a genius.
 
Man that trade makes no sense.

Eagles acquire QB Sam Bradford, 2015 5th-round pick, 2016 3rd/4th-round pick from Rams for QB Nick Foles, 2015 4th-round pick, 2016 2nd-round pick

As a receiver I would put him ahead of Gronk. He's a redzone monster.

You can't replace Jimmy Graham easily. There is an argument that they made the right move, but they gave up arguably their best player.

This.

Graham is perhaps the best red zone target in the NFL. There is no replacing that easily.

Derrick Morgan coming to Atl for a visit. Does most everything well. Can be a 3 down DE.

Morgan is a quality player and made the transition to 3-4 OLB very well. Was hoping the Titans would resign him as he was one of the few bright spots on a terrible defense/team. But that doesn't look like it has much of a chance at happening now. I'm hoping that we get Orakpo to replace him.

It's worth asking again: What in the heck is Chip Kelly doing?

Outsmarting everyone, duh.
Or at least that's what he thinks. I must say I'm enjoying this so far. I don't know what the master plan could possibly be, but if it was Sam Bradford....hats off to ya, Chip.

So where does Revis play in 2016? That is the more important question. Guy can't stay anywhere for an extended period of time. The best cornerback in the game has been on four teams in four years.

Pretty obvious the Jets since he will be a 17 million hit in dead cap space if he's traded or cut.
 
Wow. Jason Worilds retiring. The Titans were gonna be serious suitors for him. Seems like players would rather retire than play for the Titans.....

As a receiving TE he's probably 2nd. But, he also doesn't block and gets injured all the time. Plus the whole, how much is a receiving TE valued when you can easily draft a decent one.

Good luck with that this year. The TE crop has been thin of late.

Chop was right, not easy to replace. But hes a receiving TE only. They added Lewis and have several decent receiving options. They get a legit lineman and also a first round pick that if they wanted to, could be a really good TE.

Spending linited resources elsewhere is smart, imo.

Well, who is going to be an above average option this year with that first rounder? Maxx Williams? I don't see 'a really good TE' in this draft. Like I said, the crop of late in the draft has been pitiful. Falcons have been looking since Tony left.

They got in this predicament because they can't manage to stay under the cap for ****. Brought this whole deal off on themselves by being terribly managed from a cap standpoint.

I am a huge fan of mismatches. He and Gronk are about the biggest mismatches you can get. Them on a LB or CB is a joke. He can score\make plays at will. That was one thing the other team was forced to gameplan for and still couldn't stop. I don't trade pieces like that if I am NOLA with Brees' final years coming down to the wire. They will lose a lot of the big plays because no one is drawing their attention like Graham.
 
Waiting on Derrick Morgan news, and found that Peter King thinks the Durant signing was the most underrated of the day one activity.
