[NFL] 2014 NFL Season
- Thread starter evilmike
- Start date
I think the Titans have made a few good low-key moves in free agency, and I'm way more optimistic about this time than when Munch was coach.
There are still some dominoes to fall w/r/t the Chris Johnson situation and the draft. We could get lucky in the draft, and also if we end up somehow getting a pick for CJ.

Let's see, Panthers
Losses:
Steve Smith, released, now signed with Baltimore
Brandon Lafell, signed by New England
Ted Ginn Jr, signed by Arizona
Domenik Hixon, signed by Chicago
Captain Munnerlyn, signed by Minnesota
Mike Mitchell, signed by Pittsburgh
Jordan Gross, retired
Gains:
Greg Hardy franchised
Roman Harper signed
No, not happy at all. Here's hoping we get some good players in the draft or next season is already sunk.

I'm pissed at both the Cowboys and Texans now. It seems like a fire sale in Houston.

Tate was their best and most consistent RB. Cleveland got a steal and will squander his talent like they do everyone else's.
You can have him back. He was a bust for SF.
I'm not sure that's going to happen.
At least, not in the short term, anyways. Your most logical transplant locale can't host the NFL more than once a year, and that other place is being fought over by a dozen other people, none of whom have a stadium built.
I hope so, but I have no idea who would buy the team that wants us here. Jim Kelly has always said he's had an ownership group set up, but he's in no place to do anything right now (fighting bad cancer).
Right now they're safe though. Moving the team in the next 6 years would have a lease-breaking fee of $450 million. The state has been very vocal about wanting a new stadium in Buffalo and if that gets done, I'm sure a 40 year lease or something like that would be signed.
Still, this has been an issue hanging over the Bills for literally as long as I've been a fan of them. Its almost hard to believe it finally happened.

On another forum whence I frequent, it was pointed out that Ralph Wilson is also the reason why the Raiders are still around and kicking. He personally paid debts incurred by the Oakland AFL ownership (which included Al Davis at the time) to keep the team solvent - and the league from having a team on the west coast cease operations.
I still can't fathom that LA still does not have a team, oh wait they do. I mean L.A.
And according to this story that I never knew about, so did he.
Him and Dan Rooney were the only ones that voted against moving the Browns.

I always wondered why this wasn't already covered under "no using the ball as a prop." Clearly this is going to ruin the excitement of the game, just like it has in the college level.[DOUBLEPOST=1395867669,1395867550][/DOUBLEPOST]
The only real affect I see with this will be on two-point conversions, extra room to open up more options to the offense along with a higher risk.
I think the no dunking has more to do with the uprights getting bent. If they add another 10 feet of steel to them, it will be even easier to damage.
First to worst: Which NFL teams got better in free agency?
I'm encouraged by the Buccaneers' spot on the list. Though, part of the reason they were able to make such significant improvements was because of the number of messes they had to clean up.

What the hell is up with the draft happening later and later every year? I swear next year they'll be playing pre-season games before the draft finally happens.
Uh oh. Poor @blotsfan.
In the light of former members' lawsuits against the team, the Buffalo Jills cheerleading squad has been suspended indefinitely.

I feel the same way. I think they should be paid much more for all the shit they put up with, and simultaneously think that cheerleaders are pointless in the NFL and should just go away.
NFL Cheerleading has always been treated as a hobby and part time for aspiring actresses, dancers and models. If they start training 4+ hours a day, I could see the NFL paying a living wage.
