NFL rumour mill

**Houston thinking about Kaepernick, better than Osweller. Killer D and return of above average passing attack to go with running game. Could be interesting.

***NO decides against going after Butler

*** Seattle hearing offers for Sherman

[Iron City Inc.]

Why would Seattle consider moving Sherman?

Why would Seattle consider moving Sherman?

Not sure why, he was banged up last year. Maybe it has something to do with NO looking for a vet CB, and thought Butler was too expensive( giving up the 11th pick) and decided to see what they could get for Sherman.

I know sounds far fetched, but I wonnder what they are asking for him. Would you trade our 1st and our second pick in the 3rd ( which is really a high 4th pick)? Hell for conversation sake, would you trade Bell straight up for him?

I always liked Sherman, talent and firey character. How does this sound, Sherman, Burns, Davis, Mithcel, add in the legend, the phanton, Gohlsten, and Cockrell as our nickle/dime backs. Could he be the Vet, to lead our
young DBs. Would his presence in backfield, give extra time for the pass rush to work, and eliminate half the field.


Wow, thinking about it, I would love to have great DBs!

I hope Houston goes Kapernick. Because he's a bum; can't read defenses to pass and just like all running Qb's who can't really pass, he'll be hurt before seasons end. Houston, please do that.

I couldn't see it happening, but yeah, I'd move our first and a third for Sherman. He has 2 years left on his deal, each with a reasonable cap hit (around $11/year). He's 28, so he should have 2 good years left. A secondary with Sherman and Burns, if Burns grows this year, could be a real force.

Sherman is already on the decline, or else Seattle wouldn't entertain the thought of moving him. No way I'd give up a first round pick for him.

[Real Deal Steel]

I'm not giving a first and a third for a CB that has seen his best days already.

He likes to make millions in this country and doesn't have a clue what the US flag stands for....
Stands for the Freedoms you have not what you don't have...also stands for the Service men and women who have died and currently serving this country........
They will loose a huge fan base....Selfish scum.....

The flag gives us the freedom to protest. Those folks died for our freedom to stand, sit, raise a fist or even burn the flag.

No one has to stand for the anthem. This isn't China or N. Korea.

It's misguided to force someone to stand while screaming land of the free.

I think YOU don't have a clue what our flag stands for.

You're talking about Kaepernick, aren't you?

I have to laugh about the NFL trying all these different measures to get viewership back up where it was (eliminating commercials after PATs, speeding up challenges, etc.) ... when the single biggest reason for the decline in viewership was Kaepernick and his buddies refusing to stand for the pledge. At least that's how it appears to me. It's amazing how many people told me they'd quit watching the NFL for that reason, and I suspect that wasn't just the case in my neck of the woods.

Agreed.

But you also can't force the fans to have to support the protesters, and you can't stop them from showing their displeasure by not watching. While people have the right to protest, they cannot expect to do so without some resulting consequences.

Well said. A pseudo-intellectual idiot like Kaepernick has the right to protest. And fans have the right to disagree with his decision.

No sir you are misguided....just because you can do something doesn't mean you should...nobody is talking about arresting somebody like in china and such...bad comparison....
He can go protest on his own time not others.......

I suggest you go read this from a retired Marine...

I think that some people who decry political correctness are in turn getting awfully PC these days...

We want peaceful protests in our country...when someone protests peacefully, some people lose their minds...I don't get it...
