I was actually trying to think of players that other teams would want but I can't even. I would say DeMarco but I have a feeling his stock has fallen quite a bit

i'm sure other teams still know he has value at doing exactly what he is good at, something charles kelly seemed to miss when doing his research after reading "What's a Franchise Tag? The Beginners' Guide to GMing"


i hope this is jameis talking trash about the oc after the only bucs success came when jameis was calling plays.

The last NFL trade involving a coach came in 2002 when the Raiders sent Jon Gruden to the Buccaneers for Tampa Bay's 2002 and 2003 first-round draft picks. The Raiders also received two second-round picks and cash in the deal.

If Chip was the GM (i.e. In charge of football operations) couldn't he just trade himself and the Eagles 1st for the Titans 7th in 2017? What sort of provision(s) are in place to prevent this?

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
So the Titans call Philly, request to discuss a trade and get patched through to Chip...?

I would be amazed if the NFL by-laws don't have something stating that a component of a trade doesn't have the authority to execute a trade (i.e., if the GM who would sign off on the trade is part of the trade, approval has to come from whoever he reports to, either the president of football operations or the owner)

Coach trades are rare, but they happen and so do coach-GMs so someone would have thought of it.

WHOOPS

I'm sure it would depend on what areas of the staff Roseman still owns. My understanding was mainly that Chip gained control of the roster and coaching staff while Roseman still oversaw other stuff like contracts and other team staff.

You guys ready to hear a satanic song?
I've heard that for the last 5 games Andy Reid has moved a lot of the play calling away from OC Doug Peterson and given it to Brad Childress who is a "spread game analyst" whatever that means.

If that's true, yeah keep doing that because it's working. Alex is throwing bombs and the offense is clicking.

Chip Kelly the GM trades Chip Kelly the coach to the Titans, retains self as Eagles GM.

Look pal, the Browns have to find new ways to waste those first round picks eventually.

The killer picks of TRich/Weeden in 2012, Mingo in 2013, Gilbert/Manziel in 2014 and now Shelton/Erving in 2015 across three different GM/HC combos shows they might as well try something different besides using them on players.

On that note, about to leave my office here and can't wait to watch what might be the worst football game of the season tonight! The Ravens with all their good players on IR and the Browns with all their good players drafted by smarter teams every season!

Woooooooooooo

Living in Pennsylvania seems to be more of a punishment than Tennessee

Also lol Seahawks fans are saying with Graham out maybe now Bevell will not feel so much pressure to use him and can open up the offense. How poo poo are you at your job if you can't incorporate an all world pass catching tight end.

Chip looks out of the window of the plane, and sees Mariota looking out of the window of a plane going in the opposite direction, Looney Tunes style.

Chip made 10,000 moves predraft trying to get Mariota and the second he didn't, he checked out.

He loving loves that kid and if he doesnt get to the Titans after this season, he's going back to college till he can.
