And yet it wouldn't surprise anyone if they did the deal considering how Rex is all about defense and he's gotta be all in this year cuz he's already on his last legs in BUF...

...BUT Mo may not be needed cuz according to Rex, BUF already won the offseason, so...

That won't be happening. Our main priority is going to be resigning Gilmore and Tyrod. We already have a big contract on our defensive line, there won't be a second.

I don't have the figures handy, but Decker was the most expensive of that group and was our FA splash that year and even he wasn't a ton of money. Marshall was one helluva trade that cost us little to nothing and Forte actually saved us money considering the amount that JAX overpaid for Ivory and is an upgrade in the passing game, so...

When you stack up Cox's stats versus Mo Wilk's, Mo wins based on less playing time, so obviously he's going to command more and the Jets will balk at that considering how we have good depth along the DL. Our target to earmark money for will be Sheldon Richardson.

Why do you think I want a pay structure!
We have spent way more than the #2 team. I'm totally walking on eggshells here, just waiting for the inevitable bad news.
The lingering negotiations of Miller and Wilkerson were probably the driving force behind getting Fletch's deal done now. Philly controlled his rights for the next two seasons via last year of rookie deal and possible franchise tag. But they avoid all that potential hard dealings and get a happy camper that will actually be cheaper this season.
So now those guys get to use his contract as a starting point. Good luck!

And what pray tell are the Pats hiding here by not having numbers on Jerseys? Its the DUMBEST rule ever in the NFL. This isnt the same as changing numbers mid game or pulling what they did against the ravens with the quick eligible ineligible stuff. This is practice where in the sport of fair play opposing teams shouldnt be anyways.

Dish Network has become the first distributor in the channel's history to drop the NFL Network and RedZone channel. That drops the number of subscribers to NFL Network from roughly 74 million to 60 million. I currently have DirecTV but I'm moving next month and was looking at switching to Dish because it would be significantly cheaper over a 2-year contract, but I won't even consider Dish if I can't have NFL Network and the RedZone channel.

Ugh I'm into Dish for another 21 months and now I'll have to go to a friend's house or a sports bar just to see the NFL Network games.

I read about this yesterday, seems to be happening more and more as rates rise.
I've had Directv(and the Sunday Ticket) since '95, and have been very happy with the service.
I would have to think this is one of those rates staring matches and Dish would give in.

I would never consider a provider that doesn't have NFL Network and RedZone. They are going to lose customers.

As have I and I have never nor would I consider switching. The fact that the company I work for acquired them is just icing on the cake.

Oh nice! Yeah I see one of the first firmware updates was adding the AT&T logo to every menu screen.
I believe the Sunday Ticket is through 2022, so I'm happy about that!

I'm stuck with Time Warner Cable but I do have the NFL Channels.

Yep, as are "we."

I don't know anyone that has Dish. It's mostly Direct TV, Comcast, and some ATT in my area.

I have one year left for Sunday Ticket.

Why do you only have it 1 more year?

I finally signed up for Direct TV last fall to get that 2 year promotion. I was in the moving process, and was getting married that December so I didn't get to enjoy my normal routine as much during football season last year.

Now that things are settled, I will have a friend or two over just about every Sunday to get the full experience.

Full experience requires 6-7 TV's and all games on at 1x

It would be nice to have that set up, but the next best thing is the mix channel. I love that thing! Camp on it for the early games....damn you FF!!

I saw the setup John Madden has and im am doing my best to emulate it when I build my new house. He has like a 160" TV in the center and 8 65" plasmas 4 on each side with a board operator whos only job is to make sure on football Sundays that no commercials end up on the big screen

[RageATL]

I'm not one for the Game Mix channel, so I usually have 2 games going on the TV in split-screen and then another game going on my iPad.
