Danny Amendola also is due $6.5 million this year and there's no way the Patriots are paying him close to that much, so he'll either have to take a huge cut, which he did last year, or get released. Even if Amendola is willing to take a pay cut the Patriots could choose to move on and add some youth to their receiver squad.

Once the McCown release becomes official the Browns will have over $100 million in cap space. The problem with that is it's a pretty weak free agent class so there aren't a lot of players worth spending that money on, and free agents aren't going to want to come to Cleveland so the Browns will have to overpay.

Romo! I know he would be unhappy there though.

Do you just inject Dallas players into every post?

They had one of the worst defenses in the league...

[TitansFan4Life]

I put $50 of the money I won from bets these playoffs on the Titans to win it all at 50/1 odds... what the hell, why not?

I win $2500 if it miraculously happens. And I'll be happy as long as we make the playoffs.

Panthers and Falcons were both huge surprises. Granted they both lost, but worth a shot.

Until the last quarter of the bowl the D held 3 super bowl winning QBs to crap scores. I underestimated them but really it's not that bad.

And Dan Quinn had taken over the defense by the playoffs.

I had to take 2 days off from work just to recover from this game. I know it's Wednesday, but I haven't fully recovered, AND I'm not even a Falcons fan.

That was an incredible SB for just about everyone.

I had to rewatch the 2nd half to believe it. Haha

I told my guests at home during the last drive before overtime that I would always pick Tom Brady as my QB in this situation all day, everyday.

Nah. I had 4 or 5 beers. My voice is a little horse still from all the yelling that occurred mainly in the 4th qtr, and OT.

This is probably the best SB I've witnessed. It's great for the NFL and for all the fans. However, the one thing that's still bothering me and almost everyone is that Falcons 28-3 lead in the 3rd qtr.

Todd McShay released his second mock draft today. A couple things I found interesting:
-No Christian McCaffrey in the first round
-No DeShone Kizer in the first round while many mocks have him going as high as #2
-McShay has Deshaun Watson going to the 49ers at #2. In McShay's first mock from mid-December he didn't have Watson going in the first round

Tom Brady has 5 game winning drives in the SB.

Meanwhile Aaron Rodgers is something like 0-36 against winning teams when trailing in the 4th qtr.

I saw that a short while ago, was wondering if Philly/Indy did the coin flip as he had Philly at 14 and Indy at 15. Didn't see him mention anything about that. Maybe he believes those two teams will take those two players regardless.

The coin flip will take place at the combine early next month.

That's what I thought. I guess Mcshay is slotting those guys either way.
I was surprised to see him rank Corey Davis(5th) over Mike Williams(10th). I was kind of hoping Davis would fall to 14/15, which ever Philly picks.

Heh, oh well. Shanahan plans to be his own OC, it sounds like.

Such a bad move. Hugh Jackson did this too and I hate it.
