No way in hell. Tony isn't stupid.

Denver or Houston or Chicago or Jets. But He would never ever ever ever ever go to the Browns.

Colts trade Dwayne Allen to the Pats. This obviously means Bennett is gone

***Edit/Update: Pats are giving the Colts a late round pick for Allen

Bennett wants 9million a year, no way Pats will pay that.

That's silly. I don't know what his brother makes, but he should be very grateful for anything over $2M. I've followed him since he and I were 18 at TAMU, and he's not that valuable.

Miami keeps Kenny Stills for big money. $20MM guaranteed. Big bucks also for Andre Branch (DE).

I'd be shocked if the Browns were interested at all. They spent last year purging the roster of every aging, overpaid vet. I can't imagine they'd jump back into an older, fragile QB who's going to want to get paid.

Also, really interesting story about the dysfunction with the Redskins front office.

RGIII.

I'm not being totally serious - more poking fun. However they did think both Manziel and RGIII were good ideas.....

Blaming the QB is a bit of deflection away from the elephant of ineptitude in Cleveland's living room.

So...Bears have their new QB?


At least he's not Romowned. I mean, not much body-of-work to go with but Glennon had a respectable rookie year. Then was benched for Jamewas.

Malcolm Butler's replacement. A probable improvement, at that

Only adds fuel to the fire of the Brandin Cooks for Malcolm Butler trade rumor

Jamewill? Anyways with Taylor staying in Buffalo, you probably got the 2nd biggest QB name this offseason.

Eh, RGIII was signed for basically league backup numbers as a flier. He was still relatively young. Don't get me wrong, it didn't work, but I get why they did it, and they didn't saddle themselves with a bad contract by doing it.

This is more of a replacement for Logan Ryan. The Pats dont do "rumored" trades, it would have happened already.

Butler is contractually stuck to the Pats for a massive bargain. Hes not going anywhere

Saints were already offered the 18th overall pick from the Titans for Cooks, and the Saints refused. So what else would Darth Belichick reasonably offer? The 32nd pick and... ???

It could just be a bunch of noise then. A lot of misdirection and unfounded rumors happen, after all

If Cooks went to the Pats for a bargain AFC East fans will go ape shit
