I am surprised more people aren't talking about Landry Jones. Steelers are probably going to extend him as a backup, but he actually showed improvement not just from this to the last, but also as the season went on. He basically looked like a mid tier talent against the Browns in the final game, and kept the Steelers close to the Pats.

Hasnt Ben been thinking about retiring? I wouldnt be surprised if they kept him around for a while if they like him. But yeah I'm surprised that more people arent talking about trying to acquire him.

I don't remember the Vinny T stuff but Matt Flynn and Brock were both backups that were seen as promising starters, although Brock never really looked good in Denver. Cousins has had 2 years of good play as a starter, which is rare for a QB outside of the usual 5-7 guys at the top
Yeah the specific situation is that they have Cousins who has proven to not be a liability over two plus years worth of starts -who has no backup worth mentioning- and they are going to let him walk. Flynn and Osweiler were both career backups who had a few starts under their belts where the team let them walk when their contracts expired; Flynn was backing up Aaron Rodgers and the Broncos probably knew that Osweiler was not necessarily a good long-term starter.

And for the Broncos it was an interesting PR move - let the presumptive heir to Peyton Manning walk in FA to sign a mega contract instead of keeping him to be the let-down following the departure of an all-time great. Then they drafted Lynch but Siemian looked respectable, I guess, and got most of the starts. Its all kinda bizarre I guess.

You don't accrue a year of service time if you don't play at least 6 (? I think it's 6) games, so the team could just franchise you again and the number wouldn't go up I believe. Vincent Jackson did this his last year in San Diego, just sat out as a gently caress you and then signed for the end of the season.

That's probably the most leverage Cousins would theoretically have, but he reportedly signed his tender and now he's going to be stuck there for a year.

I mean there is some leverage for just flat out sitting out too of course, but if you go all the way the team can just gently caress you again next year as far as I know.

e: Hell I must be remembering this wrong, Jackson played 16 games in his last year in San Diego. Don't listen to me, although I am pretty sure the player is just screwed if he's franchised and sitting out the whole year won't fix things.
I think you are remembering what he did right, it just wasnt his last year. I think he did that when they Franchised him or gave him a lowball offer or something. I dont exactly remember it either but I think he played there another season or two before he walked in FA.

Also Pryor has been a receiver for only one year so it's not shocking people aren't willing to give him a lucrative long-term contract yet. A second good year literally doubles his experience and makes it much less likely it was a fluke.
I would count one good year on the Browns with the revolving door of QBs and poor Oline play as more than one year of playing well.

I am feeling less bad about the Jaguars trading for Branden Albert, looking at the other poo poo going on. But they have the cap space and the need that they should have kept Beachum regardless. You should give a guy coming off of a mid-season ACL tear two years to recover.

I like all the raven's pickups so far, even Woodhead.

Flacco can't keep drives alive without a good dump-off back, for when the defense is tight downfield. We've sucked in that regard since we ditched Ray Rice.

Woodhead is no Rice, but he had more receiving yards in the last full year he played than BOTH Dixon and West did last year. Rice, Jr?

He is consistently mediocre, but has never had much talent around him. He'll probably be a decent rotational 3-4 DE considering that he was the "Big" DE in Bradley's 4-3 scheme and played DT on passing downs.

Yep. He was picked at 10 if I remember correctly, and he has never been that good, but never bad enough to get cut (I think his contract expired?). Everyone was surprised/baffled, especially because I think he played in a 3-4 in college.
