I would assume so.

In all seriousness, Miami is sort of.. a mystery this year? They have solid receivers, and a good RB, so Cutler might have a shot at redemption.

Exactly, which is precisely why the notion is so ridiculous...it's totally media driven.

With all due respect, I totally think that you're wrong. There's teams on the schedule that are beatable even for the NYJ.

Exactly, why even bother playing out the season then if everybody already has the NYJ dead and buried.

Dolphins could be in danger of losing their top receiver:

Miami Dolphins' star wide receiver Jarvis Landry is under investigation for battery.

The alleged incident took place in a Fort Lauderdale apartment earlier this year, multiple sources say. It involves Landry's girlfriend.

She has not been cooperating with authorities, sources say.

After deciding to not drop the case, the Fort Lauderdale police department forwarded it to the Broward County State Attorney's Office.

A decision on possible charges is not expected this week.

The fact that the girlfriend isn't cooperating with police makes it less likely Landry will be charged, but even if he isn't the NFL could suspend him under the personal conduct policy. If he is charged it could lead to an extended period where Landry is on the exempt list.

Looks like Anquan Boldin will be signing with BUF this afternoon. Solid pick up.

Nice depth signing. This has been in the works for a week or two now. I was hoping we could seal the deal with him.

League office apparently leaks details of looming Ezekiel Elliott suspension

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...tt-suspension/

Two years ago, someone at 345 Park Avenue leaked to Stephen A. Smith of ESPN the notion that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had destroyed his cell phone in connection with the #Deflategate investigation. Within a day of the leak, Brady was suspended four games due in part to the allegation that he’d destroyed his cell phone.

Now, it seems like someone at 345 Park Avenue has leaked to Cris Carter of FS1 the notion that Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is about to be suspended, with some eye-opening details.

Via Ryan Glasspiegel of TheBigLead.com, Carter said on FS1’s Undisputed that “in the next 48 hours I would be shocked if Zeke was not suspended.” Carter added that, “based on the information that’s going to come out, it’s going to be fairly easy to determine that something happened to this woman in her four days of being with Zeke.” (The specific allegation is that Elliott committed five acts of domestic violence in a six-day window.)

Carter described the situation as a case of “assault or domestic violence,” and Carter hinted that “when the information comes out there’s going to be some similarities” to Tom Brady’s suspension, including “information that he had been advised possibly to give up, that was destroyed.”

Carter ultimately suggested that Elliott’s banishment will be in the range of Brady’s four-game suspension. If this happens, it will contradict multiple proclamations from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones regarding the absence of any evidence of domestic violence.

That said, there’s no guarantee that Carter’s comments will be borne out by the eventual facts. He was careful to couch his terms in a way that would protect him from @OldTakesExposed, stopping short of reporting anything but merely sharing what he’s hearing. (Then again, Smith used similar tiptoe terms with Brady, prompting a negative reaction from him to our posts on the issue and generating some of our all-time favorite drops from his daily radio show, including “Mike Florio needs to grow the hell up” and “Would you please break a damn story?”)

If what Carter is hearing is accurate, it’s likely not a coincidence that someone from the league office saw fit to prime the pump by leaking startling information about Brady’s case in 2015 and now Elliott’s case to one of the weekday morning #EmbraceDebate shows. Getting inflammatory information into the public domain now makes it less stunning when the league issues its press release.

It’s nevertheless odd that the league office would see fit to hand such sensitive information regarding crime and punishment to a player who once urged rookies to arrange for a fall guy.

Zeke needs to grow up, the trail of incidents he's been involved with is long. At least we still have Alf and Run DMC.

The Brady case showed that the CBA allows Goodell to do virtually anything he wants.
