30 isn't as hard a stop for me as for some. But he looks like an old 30.Pass. He is 30.

He’s certainly not healthy now but will be interesting to see how much teams are willing to bet on his recovery. I’m all in on the Sherman train. Give him the Revis deal and let’s do this.ESPN Radio saying Sherman will be released today. If his Achilles is healthy I'm interested.
Right on. Revis made good on the one year and got paid. Fine with me.He’s certainly not healthy now but will be interesting to see how much teams are willing to bet on his recovery. I’m all in on the Sherman train. Give him the Revis deal and let’s do this.
The Minnesota Vikings are opening what looks to be one of the best if not the best team facility in the league.

Reminds me of the college football practice facility arms race. Would be funny if Cousins was negotiating like a college coach, "Yeah sounds good and the money is right but, I'm going to need a commitment on that SOTA practice facility. You know I heard that's why Tom is so happy up in New England. His own practice facility. You like what Tom has been able to do, I'm sure."
Nope. We’ve heard before about players not being a fit. But Sherman is a smart football player and knows what the culture here is as much as the Pats know who he is. All that to say, if he signs here, that would be non-issue in my eyes.In addition to the Achilles injury, does anyone worry about Sherman as a cultural fit? He generally appears to be a thoughtful, well spoken guy who has some occasional emotional outbursts, but at a minimum, he does like to speak his mind, and let’s be honest... that’s not a well loved quality by the coaching staff.
Achilles is my only concern and I’m willing to roll the dice there. Sherman/Gilmore/Jones/Rowe with McCourty/Harmon would be such a solid unit. Get a little pass rushing help and we’re rolling.In addition to the Achilles injury, does anyone worry about Sherman as a cultural fit?

He didn't like the caste system in Seattle where rah-rah Pete never criticized the quarterback, where there wasn't a real meritocracy. He'd get that with the Patriots.In addition to the Achilles injury, does anyone worry about Sherman as a cultural fit?

Honor?Widely reported that the Pats offered a 3rd for Michael Bennett and a 5th -- so higher draft capital than the Seahawks received in their deal with the Eagles. Apparently the Pats offer came in after the Seahawks had just about agreed with the Eagles, and Seattle didn't want to back out (for reasons that aren't clear to me).

You also need to worry about his other Achilles, which was worked on after he had surgery on the torn one. Evidently he has some issues in that one too. Per the linked article from a month ago:Achilles is my only concern and I’m willing to roll the dice there. Sherman/Gilmore/Jones/Rowe with McCourty/Harmon would be such a solid unit. Get a little pass rushing help and we’re rolling.
I mean, I'm sad to see him go, but there's definitely a lot of question marks and I'll be curious to see if the Seahawks still put in a decent bid on him. I'm sure they'll get outbid by a couple of teams and that would be it.Sherman is still due to have arthroscopic surgery on his left heel soon to shave bone spurs that he said are jabbing into his Achilles.
That surgery, Sherman said, had to wait until he had recovered well enough from the Achilles surgery on his other foot.
“That will slow me down a little bit,’’ he said. “But it (his right Achilles) feels great.’’
In fact, Sherman said he thinks he’d be ready to go for mini-camp in June, but that he thinks the team will take it slow with him and not allow him to take the field until training camp.
Brent Grimes tore his Achilles at the same age as Sherman and he did not lose much of his ability. I think the same will happen with Sherman.Torn achilles is pretty mich the worst injury you can suffer, no? Seems historically it is strictly worse than an acl tear.
Wow is right. Brandin Cooks is happy.5 years, $82.5 million with $55 million guaranteed for Mike Evans to stay in Tampa. Wow.

Browns expected to trade for Jarvis Landry. Interesting,
Trade the #1 pick , take a QB at 4. Young QB has 2 outstanding WR. I like it (depending on what the picks are, of course)That is so Browns.
Not the same old Browns at all actually. This makes it more likely they draft a QB with Taylor bridging the gap to Darnold/Allen/Rosen/Mayfield.Passing on Wentz and Watson and ending up 2 years later trading a decent pick to pay Taylor $18 million.
Same 'ol Browns.
Why do they need Tyrod Taylor as a bridge? A bridge leading to 3 wins?Not the same old Browns at all actually. This makes it more likely they draft a QB with Taylor bridging the gap to Darnold/Allen/Rosen/Mayfield.
Passing on Wentz and Watson was dumb but is done. They’ll probably win more games than the same old Bills in 2018. If Hue Jackson can coach at all that is. A third isn’t ideal but at some point players need to learn by winning a few games.Passing on Wentz and Watson and ending up 2 years later trading a decent pick to pay Taylor $18 million.

I will give you 3:2 odds the Bills win more games than the Browns. $100. Offer open to you and first person other than you who takes it.Passing on Wentz and Watson was dumb but is done. They’ll probably win more games than the same old Bills in 2018. If Hue Jackson can coach at all that is.
Shhh, don’t scare away the bettors.I’ve been feeling Foles to the Bills for a few weeks now.
It's Taylor's job this year, and he'll then compete with whoever they draft the following year (unless the draftee is amazing right away and steals the job, but that's unlikely).Browns are sending Kizer to GB. I would have thought he and Taylor were at least competing for the job.
If they could wind up with Chubb and Barkley ...If I’m Cleveland, I take Chubb #1 and pick a QB at #4. If Chubb/Garrett both reach their potential, that will create a ton of pressure on QBs.
Sonny Weaver would approve.If they could wind up with Chubb and Barkley ...
So they don't have to throw a rookie QB to the fire again like last year. Taylor isn't as bad as you think he may be. He's not a franchise guy but he's capable of competent QB play for a year so whoever they pick can learn.Trading anything of Value for Tyrod Taylor and that contract is horrendous. He was probably gonna get cut and could have been had for far less anyway.
