Didn't Philly just sign Sanchez? Bradford makes absolutely so sense in Philly, none at all, not in that offense.
And now I'm hearing Jake Locker is retiring! this is the craziest NFL offseason ever!
Now if only the Browns would just get Revis, the NFL world would just be turned on its head.

Just heard on ESPN radio in Cleveland that Haloti Ngata is going to Detroit.
That's why they let Donkey Kong go.
Also, NO got Unger for Jimmy.
Also, Sam Bradford to Philly for Nick Foles!
Holy shit. St. Louis pulled a steal. A dude who's got one knee plus a draft pick for a semi-proven starter. Most legit QB they've had there since Bulger.
And now I'm hearing Jake Locker is retiring!
I think he took a look at Sam Bradford and went, "Fucking no way."
Broncos replace Julius Thomas with Owen Daniels.
Vikes find Bridgewater's backup.

The harsh reality of being a Browns fan.
This was written by a local beat writer who nails it, EXACTLY!

For 16 years, the Browns for the most part have been in a different league than the best NFL teams. You see it every Sunday if you have the luxury of watching NFL Red Zone.
The way the good offenses glide effortlessly down the field v. the Browns’ feeble stabs at first downs, their inept offense inevitably undermining the best efforts of their defense. It’s almost a different sport.
And that was the feeling I had on Tuesday watching the league pass by the Browns on the first day of the 2015 league season.
It was a gut-wrenching display of a flawed organization incapable of keeping up with the big boys. In only their second season together, the inexperienced tandem of GM Ray Farmer and coach Mike Pettine took on the appearance of lost baby dinosaurs.
The NFL entered a new warp speed on Tuesday, leaving the Browns sputtering in place like the same, worn-down treadmill they have personified for 16 years.
Nothing hit home harder than the news that the Eagles and Rams had been talking for weeks about exchanging high-profile quarterbacks Nick Foles and Sam Bradford.
The mega-deal was the headline of an unprecedented spate of dizzying, unforeseen, fantasy-like transactions.
The fact that the Browns could be content signing Josh McCown while knowing Foles and Bradford were available signifies the misdirected football acumen and leadership that plagues the franchise.
Their disdain for Brian Hoyer is one thing. Their infatuation with Johnny Manziel is another. Their stated belief that they can compete with the 36-year-old McCown tossing passes to Brian Hartline and handing off to Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell is, quite frankly, an insult to the collective intelligence of a suffering football populace steeped in the genius of Paul Brown.
Days like Tuesday cause me to wonder if the rest of us care more than them.
Not that the Browns’ inactivity should come as a surprise. It was expected. For they are either paralyzed by the colossal twin whiffs of Justin Gilbert and Manziel a year ago or are certifiably tanking the season in an elaborate Hail Mary pass play to land quarterback Cardale Jones in 2016. At this point, sign me up for that.
Honestly, I have no other explanation for their offseason moves thus far.
And the preposterous reported dalliance with hired-gun cornerback Darrelle Revis merely underscores the depth of the problem.
Let’s suppose, for one moment, that the Browns seriously entertained the notion of adding Revis, who ultimately signed with the Jets for $70 million -- $39 million of which is guaranteed. To think the Browns would invest anything close to that in a cornerback after a year ago making Joe Haden the sport’s highest paid cornerback – at the time -- at $67.5 million and then forsaking a much-needed receiver in the draft to select yet another cornerback with the eighth overall draft selection, Gilbert, is insane, given the team’s myriad deficiencies on offense.
The Patriots made a similar covenant with Revis a year ago. But even for them, blessed with the best coach and quarterback of their time, it took a heroic defensive play by a role player at the goal line against the worst play-call of all time for the Patriots to achieve their goal of a Super Bowl championship.
Maybe the agents of Revis led the Browns to believe there was a chance he would take his services to Cleveland. If so, shame on the Browns for going along with such a scam. Whatever energy was exerted on chasing the ghost of Revis could have been better used on pursuing a quarterback to restore faith in the locker room, much less the fan base.
WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Worilds calls it quits.
This is one of the odder retirements I've ever seen.
He's a free agent about to get paid, no injuries, and he just walks away?

Eagles sign a dude who should change his name so his initials are "IR."
Rams are also trying to resign Britt now that they've got a QB. Even with the 49ers on the decline, the NFC West looks brutal as hell next year.

I want to place a bet now that the 49ers finish last in that division.

Scary facts:
1) The Rams held their own against Seattle for the first half of their games.
2) The Rams defend the TE position well, for some reason.

Interesting article about the 3 big trades.
If you want to see how the business operates off the field, this is a really good article.
Two big factoids that came out of it are the cap hits NO and Baltimore will take next year from a single position, QB. Expect contract extensions for Brees and Flaco or a parting of ways...
