Are Raiders entitled to any draft pick as compensation?

I don’t think so because he was released.

In the least shocking news of the week, he's already signed for the Pats

It's all very conveniently fallen into their lap...

Any Dolphins fans here?

Feel for you if so. Looking like a tough season for Miami.

Dolphins appear to be playing flag football. 42-0 down and not even HT yet 

[cdbearsfan]

I think the Ravens have gone favourites.

Meet the new Browns, same as the old Browns.

Waves sheepishly.

Aqua marine is the new Brown apparently.

It looks like it's on purpose to be fair. Gutting the roster in such a way to guarantee being the worst team in the league.

Tua will be avaliable as the 1st draft pick for next year, and is a QB to build around. Dolphins also have a number of other draft picks in the 1st 2 rounds over the next couple of years and a lot of cap space to use on free agents.

So whilst this and maybe next year will be painful, theoretically there should be decent times ahead.

Limited tickets go on sale Thursday for the 4 London games - here's hoping I get a Bears one.

[cdbearsfan]

Good luck mate.

[UK Redsox]

Has anyone received their tickets yet ?

[cdbearsfan]

I haven't. I've received my AFC Wimbledon vs Rochdale tickets for the day before...

Thanks for the insight. I don't tend to follow the off season so it was a bit of a shock to see the roster. Just watching our weekly NFL talkshow where one of the talking heads has just offered the opinion that the Dolphins are indeed looking a couple of seasons down the line. Problem will be that some of the players taking two years of beatings will suddenly be expected to turn into winners.
