2016 NFL Free Agency Chatter

[Bomm Bastic]

They will go about 2 TE sets, and terrorize the middle of opponents all over again just like Gronk+Hern days. Also, he’s an insurance policy if Gronk is hurt, even tho Bennett missed games last yr, prior to that he missed 4 games in 7 seasons. Pretty solid.

If he wants to be successful and win a SB, he just has to keep quiet and do what he’s told. In 2011, Hernandez’s best yr with a healthy Gronk; look at who the top 3 receivers for the Pats were:
Welker – 1569yrds – 9TDS
Gronk – 1327yrds – 17TDs
Hern – 910yrds – 7TDS

And you thought Gronk was big, Gronk is 6’6” 265lbs, and Bennett is 6’6” 273lbs.

Stupid Patriots go low risk high reward all over again. Rich get richer.

I agree with all of that...except I think Bennett will block more than Hernandez ever did. If anything Gronk's numbers may spike (if that's even possible) because of Bennett's presence.

Bennett to the Pats, unreal!! Lookout defenses..

Until they draft someone.

I really don't see them using a high pick on a RB this year. If they do draft someone in the mid rounds and that player beats out Murray for the top spot, I'll buy them as well

This isn't FA chatter but still news and worth mentioning,

#Ravens CB Tray Walker spent all night in surgery after a horrific motorcycle crash. He is fighting for his life right now.

Latavius is one of the last 3 down backs in the league. Even if you don’t like him he gets enough touches where he’s useful. The better O-Line, and his growth in the passing game (as well as Carr’s growth) makes him a possible top 5 RB next yr (he was 10^th in my set up).

3^rd in rushing attempts, 6^th in rushing yards, averaged 5yrs/catch, and lost only 1 fumble.

Btw, I’d be ecstatic if Bennett had a 900+yard, 7TD season lol. That yr with Hern+Gronk was the 16-0 yr I do believe, soooo hard bench mark to use without taking a grain of salt.

I just got an alert he passed away. Such a shame. I guess he had 23 surgeries. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15...-bike-accident

For the #Colts and CB Patrick Robinson, it's a 3-year deal. They swoop in at the last minute and he signs there instead of Dallas

[Axeman33]

Oh man. This could be nasty if they cant block for this guy.

Cleveland is expected to reach agreement with former Redskins' QB Robert Griffin III today, per team source. Griffin III to be a Brown.

No one must have wanted him to be a starter, that’s the only reason why I would think he’d sign with the browns.

From what I have been reading, they were the only team who showed any interest. Not that it should surprise anyone all things considered.

I heard someone call this equivalent to the Grim Reaper trying to give CPR to someone lol.

If he can stay healthy, this may not be a bad deal, but we all know he won't stay healthy.

RGIII will make $7.5M in 2016, including a $3.5M signing bonus. Same in 2017 if he's on the team. Up to $3.5M more available in incentives

https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/713059078818373637

This 2-year deal for @RGIII can be worth up to $22M. Which underscores what we knew: Josh McCown will be playing for another team in 2016

[2014olympicgold]

He won’t stay upright. But maybe Gordon will be on the team soon enough to help out RG3. Browns to draft an OL now?
