Foschi, Howard and Lankster have to go.

I think the dumping of Faneca was related solely to money; not an endorsement of Ducasse. Can't keep everybody, and the Jets are ultra-cash strapped with debt up to their eyeballs as one of the most (if not the most) leveraged team in the NFL. It's the forthcoming financial apocalypse. The Jets have to go all in. They desperately need to sell as many tickets as possible to offset the stratospheric debt. If the Jets tank on the field, that will seriously cripple the entire organization and their ability to pay talent going forward.
I know we talk primarily about what happens on the field, but in this economy, teams are winning and losing off the field as well. If teams aren't going to get the ticket sales, that debt has to be paid somehow, and that will likely translate in spending less on the field over the next five years. It will be financially-induced rebuilding.
If you're the Bills, with zero debt, that presents an opportunity to get stronger on the field.

Schefter continues down a perilous road for his career. Instead of reporting news, he's creating it and being *it*. That's great if you run your own blog, but it only takes a few major whiffs and a few calls from NFL front offices to get the networks and the NFL Network to start taking notice of your lack of credibility and increasing liability as "just another guy".

Living in Eagles land, where it's Eagles 24/7, I don't think the Eagles will be as good as the media is forecasting. The team has holes on defense, very inconsistent offensive line, untested running backs, and an untested QB. Buffalo has looked better moving the ball in the preseason than the Eagles have in three games.
-
Another vote for the 1972 Dolphins. Especially celebrating every year after the last undefeated team well, becomes defeated. Haha.
No franchise, team, coach or mediocre franchise restaurants celebrate such an irrelevant accomplishment for so long. I wish somebody would go undefeated just to make them go away.
-
Adalius Thomas.
+1. If you want pressure on the QB, he's your guy. Plus, he'd love to stick it to the Patriots.
-
Sam Hurd is the best of that list.
-
It is absolutely ridiculous how great Barry Sanders was as a player.
-
Jon Gruden says more: "Too many high-profile, great players. And if they don't win more than 10 games, they got a lot of explaining to do."
Don't let Dan Snyder and the performance of the Washington Redskins for the last ten years enter into your analysis.

Does the League control over when a team changes its jerseys, colors, etc?
It is refreshing to see that the other leagues, especially the NBA, are ditching the 90s and 00s nightmares for simpler or more retro looks. Wish the NFL would follow.
-
I think that the Cards are not ready to pull the plug on the QB's they have now... Leinert and Anderson will battle this year and they will be our competition for a QB next year.
Oh I do. They don't have a window of losing a year to the tomfoolery of Leinart and Anderson behind Center. I think they will be definitely looking for a QB before the beginning of the season, most specifically Sage Rosenfels.
Fitzpatrick? Ehh. Only if Plans A and B fall through.

Alan Faneca
Adam Pacman Jones
Charlie Whitehurst
Willis McGahee
Mike Vrabel
Lito Sheppard
Deion Branch
As for the Bills, the big surprise to the media would be Cornell Green, but no real surprise to anybody who's watched the preseason games.

I don't know what to think about the Washington story. It's intriguing that a national media source such as ESPN writes an in-depth, positive article on a guy who is a convicted sex offender.
It intrigues me that no NFL team, playing in a win at all costs league, will not kick the tires on the guy. If you consider all of the other pure garbage players bring (spousal abuse, dogs, attempted murder, DUI, manslaughter) to the league, and the league tolerates, it decides to draw the line on the sand for this guy, who's crime was previous to his entry in the league.
I just don't get it. Things don't add up here. It makes you wonder if NFL Security did it's homework, and there's something there, something ominous and radioactive that we all don't know.

I laugh at Pete Carroll's secret plan to reconstitute the USC Trojans team in Seattle.
I feel for Arizona fans. They have all that weaponry on the field, legitimate contenders and it all lives or dies on Senor Hottub and Shotgun Arm.
-
I think Hardy is very expendable if:
1. He gets injured. Again.
2. There are WRs released from other teams that interest the front office.
-
I'm not down for adding more regular season games. I'd rather see the NFL get creative with the playoffs and add the two games there somehow.
I wouldn't be disappointed in seeing preseason shortened.
-
Now we have Chad Jackson himself to take up that valuable roster spot, filling the vital role of Chad Jackson on the roster.
So you are saying we've out-Jacksoned ourselves?
-
I agree. Hardy is a goner. He's taking up a valuable roster spot. He's our version of what Chad Jackson was to the Patriots.
-
Man, the writing is on the wall in Jacksonville. With those crushing capacity numbers, should be renamed the Jacksonville Blackout.
If anybody is moving to Los Angeles, the black hole of NFL markets, it'll be Jacksonville.

If death was the penalty for being horrific prognosticators, weather"persons" and sportswriters would go the way of the dinosaur. Those are the only two professions where you can be so wrong, so often, and still retain your job.
-
I may be in the minority, but I think they part ways with Hardy. He's always injured and taking up a roster spot. He's of little value to the team if he isn't out on the field.
-
I agree.
Wasn't he injured and failed a physical?
I don't think so. I think he's a free agent like the rest of them are.
-
I am not one to sign every single "name" out there on the waiver wire, but I was curious as to why the Bills never kicked the tires on Adalius Thomas. I know he can't move laterally worth a damn, but he can rush the quarterback and get to him.
And not sure you'd find anybody else with a bigger chip on his shoulder when playing NE.
-
When you win six games despite being Jauroned, that's a great evaluator of talent on hand, IMHO.
Should bills keep Hardy?

No reason to keep Hardy. Often injured, when on the field, does not impress.
