the reports i have read are suggesting RG3
They were musing on the ATL podcast that they may make Denver v Houston the opening night game....That would be interesting ![]() Houston also signed Lamar Miller at RB |

Can't remember the defending Superbowl champions having a totally different QB roster for week 1 in the following season

However I can't see him justifying the contract that Houston have given him, he was better than the corpse last year but $18 million for four years is surely too much. The Broncos are better off without doing that deal. |

$18m in the first year isnt it??
Seems crazy money, but I like O'Brien and hope him and Watt make it to the play offs next season |

Luckily I read the answer to this earlier. Baltimore in 2001 were the last team to win a Superbowl and start the next season without their top 2 QB's.
Thanks, forgotten all about the Ravens |

I was a bit disappointed Osweiler decided to go elsewhere but on the other hand I'm delighted we didn't fork out that sort of money. It's a crazy amount for someone with only 7 starts who may turn out to be little better than average.
We have picked up Mark Sanchez, hopefully just as back up or to be used as a future trade. If he is our starting QB on opening night I fear the worst. Colin Kaperpick6 doesn't filll me with much hope either. I'd far rather see us try and get Glennon or Hoyer. Danny Trevathan and Malik Jackson have both gone so will need to be replaced but I have 100% faith in Elway. I'm sure he'll get us good replacements for next season. |

Seen it suggested on Nfl.com Houston v Denver will be the opening night game too.
Think RG3 will end up at the Jets |

Id love Rg3 to be able to recreate that first season he had in the league.
They played him too long after the injury in the game that it occurred and then brought him back too soon before full recovery, that ruined him. Still think he will be an exciting signing wherever he goes |

Shame to see Irvin and Mebane go, but Jon Ryan getting another 4 years is a shrewd move. Punters often fly under the radar.

I doubt Dallas would sign him, the Browns had told him in January they were firing him this week- they couldn't do it earlier for cap related reasons if I recall correctly- so if Dallas were interested it'd have come out by now methinks. If he had shown promise in the games he played that'd be one thing, but he really didn't.

Sacked isn't really the right word but it has been a foregone conclusion for weeks if not months. I'm not sure he'll ever play in the NFL again.
http://www.sportsonearth.com/article...ns-free-agency it does seem such a waste that a guy who was obviously talented doesn't seem to have any sense of self-control or professionalism |

what i had read about the timing is the browns were hoping that the domestic violence incidents he had been involved in would lead to charges so they could bin him without taking the cap hit that i believe they have had to take

Some sad news
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Tray Walker died Friday from injuries he sustained from a dirt bike crash in Florida on Thursday night. He was 23. Walker was seriously injured after the dirt bike he was riding collided with a sport utility vehicle at an intersection in Miami at approximately 7:50 p.m. ET Thursday, the Miami-Dade Police Department stated in a news release. He was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami in critical condition after sustaining serious head injuries and spent all night in surgery, three sources told Rapoport. Walker died at 5 p.m. ET Friday, Butler told Rapoport. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...irt-bike-crash |

Don't blame him. Very shabbily treated by the Broncos. Should have started in the play-offs and SB (Broncos fan btw)

To me the Broncos were transformed when Peyton came back
His playoff line was a painful 51/92 (a 55% completion percentage) for just 539 yards with 2 TDs and (insanely flukily) 1 INT. That's a QB rating across the three games of 75.4. That would have put him 32nd out of qualifying QBs in the regular season (although it was I suppose marginally better than the 67.9 rating he threw up in the regular season which itself was 35th and last among qualifying QBs). The proof of how bad he was in the playoffs is there for all to see as no team will touch him with a barge pole this season and he has had no choice but to call time on his career. |
