  • @RavensInsider: Pernell McPhee to Chicago Bears on five-year, $40 million deal, nearly $16 million guaranteed: t.co/JdSXJrop6Y

  • I'll admit it... I had to google Pernell McPhee...

  • McPhee is one im very glad we passed on.....a system player that will remain invisible, even with that new contract.....

  • If we could walk out of Free Agency with acquiring Nick Foles via a trade, Haloti Gnata, and Cecil Shorts I'd call that a quality FA period.

    Invisibility would explain my need to google...

    Still a good chance QB Brian Hoyer winds up in Houston, but his agent still is negotiating with the Jets and NY will be given a chance here.

  • It's like watching the clock run down on ebay...

    Who is the better "sniper", HOU or NYJ?

    I say Houston.....dont think Brians skin is thick enough to play in New York.....talk about dealing with tough fans, wicked press, etc

  • The thing that bothers me about McPhee is that he is a pass rusher, so if da Bears want to keep addressing their defense - this means Shelton will undoubtedly not fall passed them.

    Hoyer probably has a better shot at the starting job in New York, though. Especially if the Texans decide to keep Mallet.

    I had this conversation with my friends a week ago. If Mariota slips to 6, the Jets will be fielding plenty of calls. They'd do well to have a starting caliber QB on their roster in order to have some flexibility to move, if they needed.

    Here's my scenario I posed last week to my Jets fan friend:

    Jets bring back Darrelle Revis.

    Jets sign Brian Hoyer.

    Jets sign Clint Boling.

    Jets sign Jordan Cameron.

    If Mariota slips to #6...

    Jets trade #6, 2015 4th to CLE for #12, #19, 2016 2nd + late round pick.

    Cleveland takes Mariota at #6.

    Jets take Shane Ray, DE/OLB, at #12.

    Jets take Jalen Collins, CB at #19.

    Jets take Melvin Gordon, RB or Todd Gurley, RB, in the second (assuming one of the two is available.)

    Jets take Tyler Lockett in the third to replace Harvin.

    Now New York has a receiving corps of Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Jordan Cameron and Tyler Lockett. They have a possible three down RB prospect in Gordon/Gurley. And they have a decently solid offensive line with Mangold, Ferguson, Giacomini and Boling. All they need is an moderately efficient guy to distribute the ball to their playmakers. And they still get to address their number one need (CB) in the first round.

    I like your analysis from a Jets perspective.....sounds great really.

    Im just thinking more along the lines of Hoyers choices and what (i think)he's looking for and just think the Jets and NYC are not in his comfort zone....Houston and Obrien sound more comfy to me....

    Though....I would like the plan if I was a Jets fan...

  • Iupati to the 49ers

  • Pettine said in interview we are still in for Hartline and Trent Cole ..... also TE Ed Dickson been linked via several twitter journalists

  • Pettine also said a long term contract for Gipson is "being discussed" if true I think it would be the best decision we could make in free agency. Also heard that Trent Cole's visit went well. Pettine also said that the option is on the table to bring in another QB this offseason but the Browns don't feel the pressure to draft one.

    Oh, yeah, from a comfort standpoint, nothing beats Houston for Hoyer. He gets to reunite with O'Brien and goes to a much, much less harsh fanbase.

  • Brian Hartline is now a Brown

  • Just for laughs, these QB's are being linked to the Browns (rumor city) :

    Foles

    Kaepernik (Cap issues)

    Brees (due to Saint Cap issues)

    This has already broken, but I'll put it here as well for a place mark :

    SiriusXM NFL Radio @SiriusXMNFL · 2h 2 hours ago RT @DustinFox37 Breaking: Brian Hartline is signing with the Cleveland #Browns.
