Class is back in session

FREE AGENCY BEGINS WITH A BANG...

We have all been patiently waiting for this day to come and boy did it not disappoint.  Too many moves to account for but man does this have me itching for some pigskin.  Is it September yet?  How important it is to win in Free agency will remain to be seen but no doubt some teams are off to a fast start.  Big thanks to everyone that has taken time to read our articles.  We, like Free Agency are off to a fast start and hope to one day land a similar contract that Suh just signed in Miami.  Until then it's back to the drawing board. Don't hesitate to share your thoughts...

DAY 1 WINNERS/LOSERS

WINNERS

NEW YORK JETS 

The Jets just locked in a familiar face and one that happens to be the best corner in the game.  Really doesn’t matter what happens from here on out this move is huge.  Also am hearing that Cromartie could be on his way back to the NYJ as well.  AFC East is gearing up to make Tom Brady’s season a living hell.  Don’t sleep on the acquisition of Brandon Marshall either.  B Marsh gets a lot of flake for his off the field antics but no one can contest his dedication on the field.  Played most of last year on one leg and played at a very high level.

BUFFALO BILLS

Could be some bias here but hard to argue that day 1 was nothing but a success.  Jerry Hughes returns to one of the NFL’s best front lines. Couple that with the acquisition of Shady McCoy, and we now see a plan in place for our Bills.  Ground and Pound with Shady and Freddy and play dominant defense.  If anyone is going to break the mold on getting to the playoffs without a QB it will be the Bills this year.  That roster is stacked.

ST LOUIS RAMS

Finally found their QB of the future in Foles and didn't have to give up all that much in doing so.  We all know the Rams were scared to death about Bradfords current deal (on his way to being cut anyway?) and it looks like Philly was more than willing to take that off their hands.  We will see where Bradford lands.  Something tells me his last stop will not be in Philly.  Cleveland anyone?  Still think Chip will find a way to land Mariotta.

UNDER THE RADAR MOVES THAT WIILL HELP

ATL FALCONS

Signing of Brooks Reed and Justin Durant give the falcons and their awful defense their starting LBs for the next few years.  My pick for surprise team of 2015 looks like they are off to a good start.  Just need to work on shoring up that O line to keep Matty Ice upright because you know Dan Quinn will bring some immediate credibility to that defense.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Torrey Smith gets to team back up with Anquan Boldin where they dominated during their stints with Baltimore.  Beginning to see a trend here?  Everyone heading back to where it all began.  Just wish the Bills were that lucky and could somehow find a way to lure Gronk back to where his football days all began.

NEW YORK GIANTS

The addition of Shane Vareen adds another dimension to the Giants and what Eli and OC Ben McAdoo will look to do.  Finally have a threat to catch balls outta the backfield.  One they envisioned David Wilson would be before injuries took him off the field.  Shane Vareen will be loved by Giants fans and I think you'll see him on the field more often than not. 

LOSERS

NOLA

Franchise under water had to make the move but losing the best target in football will certainly leave a mark.  Who knows maybe Marques Colston has a rebirth but right now Drew is looking for weapons.

SAN FRANCISCO

As much as I love the Torrey move they certainly did pay him quite a bit of money.  With that said, that is the least of their problems.  Losing the talent of Willis and Justin Smith on the defensive side of the ball will hurt.  Frank Gore was getting up there in age so letting him walk was probably the right move but the loss of Iupati will leave a big hole on that line for whoever comes in next year.

JAGUARS

If there is anything I have learned from being a Bills fan it is that no matter how hard you try some guys just don't wanna play for you or your bad team.  The Jags are going through that right now, but there is also something to be said for being patient.  Throwing out a ton of money for a guy who got to play under Peyton Manning for two years?  Granted he put up some great numbers but plug in anyone with Peyton and Tom Brady and they're surely to produce something.  Julius is good but I'd be shocked if his numbers are half of what they were last year.

TEAMS THAT WILL BE MAKING A SPLASH IN THE COMING DAYS

PHILLY

Something crazy is going to happen here soon.  Either that or the city of Philly will burn to the ground

OAK AND JAX

Does anyone want to play for these guys?  More money to spend then any other organization and they cant seem to get their hands on anyone.  I think that changes here shortly.  Demarco Murray anyone?  Del Rio will find a way to get him to Oakland is my assumption here.

MOTOWN LIONS

The move to grab Haloti Ngata will help stop the bleeding from Suh bolting but they do now have quite a bit of money to spend. 

...love to hear everyone's thoughts

I’m expecting a lot of heat from nothing on the Suh to Miami move and quite honestly I'm torn.   I would say this is TBD.  What else can Miami do this offseason?  How strapped will they be moving forward on this deal?  No doubt they got one hell of a talent.

Happy Hump day everyone
