Matt Flynn and Alex Smith being traded for the 33 and 34 pick respectively seems like deals that benefit the Jags/Chiefs and possibly could happen. The strength of the draft looks to be defense.

From my understanding, the Niners would be the ones paying him the $8M dollar roster bonus and any subsequent trade would have the team acquiring him only on the hook for the salary. I don't see why the Niners would pay $8M for a draft pick. Now if a team wants to trade for him prior to this deadline to beat the bidding war you mentioned above, then yes I can see that happening.

Hard to be terribly precise, but the best thing I can think of is that the career-based comparison acts as if Roethlisberger is done playing (and perhaps judging by totals). The year-by-year comparisons, OTOH, chart a player's trajectory more thoroughly -- this is who Roethlisberger resembles after 1 season as a pro, 2 seasons, so on. Kelly (a HOFer himself) is #1 all the way, but two other HOFers (Warren Moon and one of Montana/Young -- sorry, not looking at the page) have crept their way up to Ben's top 4 comparable QBs after this much of his career. |

doesn't year-by-year just show who they resembled in that one year and not cumulatively?

Now that KC has hired Andy Reid as their new HC, all the KC BBQ joints will need to stock up.

According to his contract details on rotoworld, it's not an $8 million roster bonus: he's due a $7.5 million salary in 2013 plus a $1 million roster bonus paid in March. And if that bonus is paid, the 2013 salary then becomes guaranteed. So I'm not sure why that entire salary would remain with the team. |

Another guy that could be worth something is TJ Yates. He's made 5 starts with OK numbers. I'd imagine the Texans will try to cash him in now that Schaub is signed long term.

It's looking like Chip's going to be the next coach of the Browns. What do you guys think they'll get for trading Weeden? What's the highest draft pick you think someone will give them for this stiff??
Btw- I can't stand the Kelly hire.

Something like a 4th maybe. He's 29 years old and had more INTs than TDs. I think the hire is interesting, but I'm not sure it works.

I love seeing Kelly go to the Browns. I can't stand him and I was afraid my Eagles would hire him.

Kelly gives me a Spurrier vibe so I'm curious if he pans out or not.

I think Chip Kelly will be in way over his head. He's not going to be able to outspend the other teams with better facilities and equipment using Nike money.
The Browns would've been better off waiting til Tuesday and feeling out Brian Kelly, in my opinion.

Here's to hoping the Bengals fire Marvin and promote Zimmer. A person can dream.

Hadn't heard that but lots of coaches say they aren't leaving then change their minds.

I can't believe the number of people on the Bengals message board ready to dump Dalton and Gresham. I agree that Dalton was a little inaccurate this year, mostly with overthrows, but I still feel like he's a good (not great) QB at this point. Maybe I'm an idiot. Feel the same about Gresham. He's good but just hasn't turned the corner into great but both of these guys are 25 I think.

I know. I lived here when he bailed on Cincinnati. Just watched too many of these guys profess they aren't going anywhere then all of a sudden they up and go. But if I had to chose a Kelly that I think would be successful at the pro level, it would be Brian.

Doug Marrone to Buffalo, per ESPN.
And Eagles and Browns in "apparent dead heat" for Chip Kelly. I wish the Eagles would lose this race. I'm just not so sure that NFL players will respect a guy without any NFL experience telling them what to do. Totally anecdotally, my perception is that the "college guys" who succeed in the NFL actually have some NFL experience in their background: Harbaugh, Carroll, etc. Last edited by corbes : 01-06-2013 at 06:28 AM. |

You just described Pittsburgh...after a regular season loss. Actually, every regular season loss. Wild swings of emotion. Either fire everyone, or keep them all, because they're the best ever.

As an Eagles fan who cares a little bit less about football than he did thanks the past two passionless seasons, I wouldn't mind Chip Kelly. I don't think he'll be very good in the NFL or that his system will work in the NFL but I'm in the mood for some excitement.

Was just coming on to say the same. They can let Gruden go also, that was a ridiculously ineffective gameplan. They clearly could run the ball but barely tried.

Sources: No Chip Kelly for Browns
The Cleveland Browns have decided to reboot their coach search after leaving Arizona late Sunday morning without landing Oregon's Chip Kelly, according to league sources.

The Browns are far better off without him. They really don't have the talent base to play his style anyway.

Smith has been one of the best RTs in the game. Letting him go would prove the Bengals aren't willing to spend to win. The top free agent resignings are Smith, Johnson and Jones. The rest aren't important, but losing any of those three would mean the Bengals have to draft to replace rather than to improve.
