Something about that story smells fishy.

Escape goat alert!
That would be an excellent blitz alert call. Picture Peyton Manning saying it with verve and throw a couple Omaha's in there or Brady saying it followed by "42's the Mike"

I doubt the NFL would go for that
There is a casino on the Hollywood Park site that Kroenke is building on. It was part of the former horse track on that site. It's currently undergoing renovation and the casino's own website mentions a two year plan to "evolve and grow into our new home". There will absolutely be a casino on that property if not directly connected to the stadium. There's no way the casino operators would pull an approved, operating, casino out of the middle of LA.

I realize Miller was playing hurt quite a bit but I was very underwhelmed by his pass blocking all season. He was unable to pick up a stunt correctly all year and late blitzers ran through his gap with abandon. If it were strictly a mobility issue I'd be less worried given the ankle issues but I didn't see a man with his head on a swivel looking for that second player to block.

It doesn't matter how talented Harvin is, if he's not on the field he's useless. He's shown no ability to stay on the field throughout his career. There is significant risk in taking on Harvin as well, in that, you put yourself in a position where you have to rely on his availability. He'll be healthyish to start the season and he'll be #2. You'll plan on that and craft an offense around that but it's a mirage and by the time you come around to needing to lean on him he'll be gone. I'd rather see the resources spent on players who will be on the field. Hate Woods and Hogan but they both played through significant injuries this year and took criticism for lack of production.

I think we'll take a run at Demario Davis.
There seems to be a number of high profile OLBs who should pull down big money which is good because it eats up the available pool of funds for LBs in general. ILBs get the short stick.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see them go after Mark Barron. He disappointed strictly at safety and the Rams moved him into a hybrid role and then moved him to OLB altogether when Alec Ogletree got hurt and did pretty well there. He's not great in man coverage but he's an interesting option for a nickel defense as a guy who's better than a typical LB in coverage but is also fairly sturdy against the run and is good at blitzing. Basically, I see him as the sort of player that offers a lot of versatility and who likes to come up and hit in the run game.

This off-season may be the 1st time in many years we are tight against the cap, so explain the bolded part, please
To me "managing the cap" doesn't necessarily mean staying under it. It means using it and it's rules to your maximum benefit on a consistent basis. From that standpoint we've been terrible with the cap for a long time. Good teams are usually right up close to the cap every year and have the means and acumen to juggle what needs to be juggled, move money around in the cap shell game, and stay competitive. It's a rare team that is truly competitive AND a ton under the cap on a regular basis. The Eagles did it for years but frankly if they'd used a little more of their cap space they might have gotten themselves over the hump to a SB title. They were always lacking in at least one area when they had the means to fix it, just not the will.

special teams (and really all phases of the game) depends on the talent. When April was here we kept a lot of ST stars instead of depth for offense and defense.
and the year before we had him the Rams fired him and their ST were absolutely brutal. We played them that year and our ST ran roughshod over them, huge returns, turnovers, etc. Mike Martz called his team's ST performance the worst thing he'd ever seen.

Someone from Bills called him with false 'Inside Source' and let him fall on ass.
Either that or the Bills are sick of the leaks themselves and were on a mole hunt. As was noted, there would only be a couple people in those meetings who would know what was said exactly. Not to hard to put some false stuff out there to your leak suspects and to see what comes out the other side knowing that it takes zero effort to have Pegula issue an official denial (via text no less) to kill the issue while the people who actually matter already know what was and wasn't said.
Pay attention to any administrative staff changes in the near future.

I feel bad for whoever loses their team, really, but I cannot express how nice it is not to have the Bills involved in any of this discussion whatsoever.

There are good RBs late in the draft every single year, just hafta find them.

Who does Manziel report to?
His dopamine receptors, his dealer, his bookie, and the mob guy who controls them.
Totally agree. I don't see how Thurman can possibly remain as DC. Took one of the best defenses in the NFL and made it below average. Pettine had the same players and ran a successful Rex scheme. Bring him back. Perhaps he is our Dick Lebou.
Pettine can be passing game coordinator but his run schemes sucked and sucked in Cleveland too.

Sashi Brown, New guy in charge of football for the Browns was in charge of the Jacksonville Housing Authority in 2012.
That's funny, Marrone has been in charge of housing visiting defensive lines in Jacksonville's backfield all season long. (51 sacks allowed)

Cook, Kelly, Wentz, Hackenberg, Doughty
because he is not that good, If you want Matt Cassel he's your guy
Sweet Christ no.

I wonder a couple things.
#1 - how much will Chad Kelly's personality issues at Clemson hurt him
#2 - would the bridge with Ryan be burnt via Dabo Swinney
#3 - could Uncle Jim really keep a leash on him if he had to sit and learn again.

Either they're nuts or they think Brown is their Billy Beane and they are going to go find their Theo Epstein to be the GM.
Honestly, if you're going to go whole hog into the analytics thing it sort of has to be this way. Brown is the analytics minded guy who is charged with finding a coach who can deal with that. When they have the coach and their scheme they go find the GM who meshes with both of them to shop for the groceries. It's a little backwards, but only if the GM candidates you want to talk to are all connected to playoff teams and your coaches aren't. For example, Chip Kelly's an analytics guy and if you wait until February he'll be gone. Get him in the fold and then find a GM everyone can work with.

Bickering Bills
Kinda wish I knew who Sammy was talking about, it's hard to argue with that sentiment though. Do your job or GTFO.

Keep Whaley. Screw the coaching staff. For the first time in decades, this team actually has talent. Just the coaches, especially defensively, have no idea how to use them.
This was the biggest waste of talent in the history of the team. Dick Jauron went 7-9 with far less talented teams
-
Serious question: who is the backup long snapper now?
It was Mulligan.
It appears that Ryan Groy did some long snapping at the 2014 Shrine game and showed well; he must be the new emergency LS.
Didn't O'Leary long snap at FSU?
-
That it's almost the off-season so I can be optimistic again.

Rather than watching the WWE shitshow that the NFL has turned itself into I'm taking my kids to a college hockey game on Sunday at 1:00pm. A couple years ago that would have been unfathomable.

Well couldn;t any team which does not own stadium arrange for entity to lease stadium from add a clause to lease agreement which makes sense; they could insert a play or pay clause where the entity needs to be be paid for normal use as well as any loss from advertising, parking, concessions, etc they lost.
I guess it does not amaze me that the NFL who needs to approve all contracts did not take this clause into consideration before deciding to make Rams home team in London.
They did. What it should scream out loud to you is that the Rams are moving to LA in 2016. San Diego will get saved at the last minute and the Raiders will go to LA as well. One AFC and one NFC team. Everyone is happy, except Raider fans in Oakland and Ram fans in St. Louis but lets be honest, the league doesn't give a **** about them anyway.

Did anyone comment on the pats illegal substitution on the pats "hurry up TD"?
Or the roughing the punter call they missed? Or the facemask they picked up? Or the face guarding on Sammy? Or the DPI on Hogan? All huge penalties in huge spots.
Deadspin article on this. Absolutely absurd. Officials should be docked pay for this kind of thing. Conduct detrimental to the game.
That is beside the point. There should be accountability from the league when calls this bad happen.
What accountability? The league profits more from New England winning, staying undefeated and preserving the "our Super Bowl was completely untainted and legitimate" narrative.
Apparently it is the Year of the moon
