Kirk Cousins now has Doctson, DeSean, Garcon, and Jordan Reed. He could punt the ball every play and complete 60 percent of his passes.

William Jackson III just became the odds on favorite to be arrested in the offseason.

Well, that's certainly our most pressing need, but meh.

Yeah, until:
Jordan "the Human Injury Machine" Reed breaks his leg in five places, as is his annual custom.
Garcon underperforms like he does every year since leaving Indy and Peyton.
DeSean throws a bitch hissy fit when he can't beat secondaries and gets anything less than fucking 50% of pass attempts tossed his way.

The Vikes got Treadwell. Wonderful. Another WR whose career we can destroy.

Steelers' draft has sucked, but at least we're not the Jets.

Now that the draft's over, can someone tell me what Cleveland is going to do about their RB situation? Is the dynamic duo of Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson going to split the 20 carries a game?

To be fair to Cleveland, they have time to address that later. They're not going to become winners overnight, and I believe next year's draft will have a pretty big RB class?

Honestly, I don't think that RB was the biggest concern with the Browns, I'm ok with both of them for now. The biggest problem was WR, and drafting 5 of them showed the front office thinks the same way. When Brian Hartline is your biggest WR threat you have some issues. Well actually Gary Barnidge is but he's a TE..

Funny note, Old school so called "football guys" like Kiper gave the Browns a C- draft grade and analytics driven websights like Profootballfocus.com gave the Browns an A. I'm somewhere in between there, I like that they went after the positions of need and weapons on both offense and defense. WR and pass rushers are your weapons on both sides of the ball and that's what we needed the most.

I'm still baffled at the Cody Kessler pick, Conner Cook was still on the board. Like I said before, the Browns are all in with RG3 and if/when he fails they will address the QB position then.

Washington signs Jordan Reed to a sizable extension. Cue his ACL getting blown out week 1, first play.

Raiders get closer to Vegas.

Let the hype begin.
Through two days of rookie camp, Goff is already impressing the coaching staff with his strides in the offense.

"He's doing a great job picking up our offense," Jeff Fisher said, via the team's official website.
For those of you unfamiliar with the 2015 Rams offense, it had 5 plays, in order of likelihood:
1) Let Gurley run it and pray he breaks one.
2) Get it to Tavon Austin, on the ground or in the air, and pray he breaks one.
3) Take a sack.
4) Punt.
5) Turnover.

Steelers sign Manziel to 1 year deal.

My co-worker came in this morning and reported this to me. I laughed.
The reported deal is worth an estimated $11.75 an hour with no health benefits BUT an option for dental after 6 months of employment.

Bradford seems like the kind of dude that goes all in on a pocket 3s when there's a small straight on the table, and then seems surprised when he can't pull off the bluff.

Peterson amps up the Vikings faithful for their annually scheduled disappointment.
