Cruz's last gasp.
Free-agent wide receiver Victor Cruz has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears, saying Thursday he believes he has "a lot left in the tank" after seven years with the New York Giants.
Right. Hasn't gone over 1K yards since '12. Hasn't had a multi-TD or caught 40 or more balls season since '13.

I feel like he's been in the league since the 80s.

Rumors of Kaepernick going to the Seahawks. Seems a good fit.

I thought that was a done deal? Like weeks ago?

In other news, Vikings are so bad watching them play hurts Mike Zimmer's eyes.

Not yet - he visited Seattle on Wednesday. His only team visit.

Every time I think Cleveland is on the right track, they do something that makes me think they're still Cleveland.

Today they traded for an attitude case.

I have a black friend that refuses to watch the NFL until a team picks up Kaep. His perspective is that he's being shunned because of what he was protesting. I've argued with him that it probably is the "what" for some teams, but other teams just don't want the distraction. Plus, he sucks. He won't accept it.

If you see racism everywhere, you're going to see racism everywhere.

Tom Brady could protest, and people would still sign Tom Brady...

Cam Newton could protest, and people would still sign Cam Newton...

Let's make sure we're comparing something similar. I mean Jay Cutler has had a FAR better career than Kaep and he's also still unsigned.

YEah, there we go... I literally could not think of a good black QB when I posted. I was thinking of maybe the Cowboys' guy. Last year was so bad, I forgot about Newton.

Stop me if you've heard this, but Dennis Pitta just dislocated his hip ... for a third time.

Be a shame if his career ended. The guy is pretty damn good. His body just fails him.

That's better than the Redskin's scoring line.
