Are the Eagles that much better than Buffalo? Not so sure myself. Bills have really improved, good defense. Losing Alonso obviously hurts them but McCoy with a chip on his shoulder.....

[cadhlancian]

Still no QB though...

[cadhlancian]

Julius Thomas to the Jags
Wtf!!

[cadhlancian]

Frank Gore may not be heading east....

Julius Thomas to the Jags
Wtf!!

Money talks!

Excited to see Suh at the Dolphins, should really improve our poor run Def and give the Def in general a lift. Other teams can't double up on Wake anymore too.

ESPN now reporting that Gore plans to sign with the Colts

Chip Kelly is looking like a bit of a twat right now.

Saints shopping Jimmy Graham, possibly to Seahawks.

Sam Bradford & Nick Fokes going in opposite directions in a trade.

[Rossie11]

Graham and 4th rd for center Unger and a 1st rd (31st pick)
As a saints fan I don't know what to make of that.
They had salary cap issues but this is a huge change
Are they building the offence round Ingram and cooks?

[AZOffaly]

First round pick is huge too. Graham dropped off a good bit last year towards the end. I like trades where you get first round picks.

[Rossie11]

Lynch has more competition now when the hawks have the ball at the 1!!

[Oraisteach]

Owen Daniels to Broncos, Torrey Smith to 49ers, Ngata to Lions---Ravens losing some big names

[squire_in_navy_slacks]

Ill take anyone as a starting qb over rg3 and cousins 

Bradford to Eagles for Foles and a pick
