NFL: 2016 NFL Offseason News & Notes Discussion Thread - Part 2

[Hasbro]

I am very ambivalent about this.

You act as if he was burned as bad as Thích Quảng Đức in his most recent game.

 

[What the Faulk]

Well, he wasn't very good, but Remmers was worse. But the rest of the season was good. But before that he was bad. But before that he was good.

Color Rush leak. This one looks a little more legitimate. (Red 40's Lion throwbacks)

There gonna be some ugly ass uniforms to come out of this batch.

 

[Hasbro]

Looks like magic marker.

 

[dma0034]

I'd say the Seattle throw up color is probably the worst. Honorable mention to the Red Lions and Yellow Chiefs.

(Vikings and Cowboys have two color schemes)

I just hope they change the colors of the helmets. As a Bills fan if they walk onto the field with red jerseys and not the red helmet I'll be annoyed (and probably spend 5 seconds complaining before not caring again)

 

[What the Faulk]

So some teams like the Rams and Jets are being redone?

Honestly hated the majority of these with the notable exception of both the Cowboys' and Panthers'.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

I kinda actually liked the Jaguars mustard jerseys last year.

Redskins already confirmed no color rush for them this year and I doubt the Vikings and Cowboys do it twice.

NFL has a rule where you can only wear one helmet all year because they think this helps prevent concussions by not having to break in new helmets (it doesn't) the only thing that can be changed is the decals.

This.

I liked the Jets color rush.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

And the helmet rule is so ****ing stupid.

 

[Voight]

 

[What the Faulk]

Why not photoshop Marcus Paige in the background? I think Clint Dempsey can fit in there somewhere too.

****, of all the stupid **** surrounding those two, that is in no way "funny". That's just being a dick for the sake of it.

 

[Terry Yake]

so apparently there's a joe flacco death rumor going around twitter

 

[What the Faulk]

cool they should bury him next to rodger goodell

Ravens have to get rid of his massive overpayment of a contract somehow.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

That's the end of Shaun Suisham.

Released after failing a physical after tearing his ACL making a tackle in the first preseason game last year and it looks like it will prevent him from making a comeback.

Never like the word 'catastrophic' being used to describe an injury.

He gets a payout of his contract no? IIRC insurance will cover it.

 

[Dominator13]

Is Fitzpatrick going to play in 2016 or not? He's a national joke at this point.

 

[sigma six]

Baldwin extended four years;

http://www.seahawks.com/news/2016/06/28/seahawks-wide-receiver-doug-baldwin-signs-four-year-contract-extension

Doug Baldwin's new deal will undoubtedly raise some eyebrows, since he's plainly not Calvin Johnson. Thing is, it's hard to overstate how much he's meant to Seattle's success on offense. Believe I read that when targeting Baldwin, Wilson's QB rating is almost 140.

He was an udfa and he works his ass off. I've always pulled for the guy. It's a lot of money but I'm glad he's sticking around.

The Jets camp and his camp are apparently still talking, but it doesn't sound like anything is close.

If the Jets tell him to go pound sand, that's probably it for him. All the teams in need of QB's did something to address it and the Jets is the best situation for him. He knows the system, he has two very good WR's there (some argue they're the reason why Fitz wasn't the Fitz of old) and would be given the starter's job.

 

[What the Faulk]

I believe he's said it's the Jets or he'd retire. I completely forgot he was still a free agent. He's not a joke, just not relevant.

Chan Gailey's offence helped, since he was used to it.

I think he'll sign in the coming months. he should realize they aren't giving in, unless they go on without him & start like 0-2 and panic.

I'll say it again, Doug Baldwin was playing like a star all year last year

He didn't turn anything around, Russell turned it around and started getting him the ball when he was open

Baldwin IMO is a very solid #1

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Baldwin is self made.

Cowboys' LB Rolando McClain will be suspended the first 10 games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, per @toddarcher and me.
