ESPN analysts reporting Collins is seeking a huge contract, in the Von Miller range, and the Pats decided not to deal with the headache.
I don't think this is valid anymore. We probably have a variety of personnel including rookies, just activated players, oldies and crocks in a jumble mix out there. Davis, Janis and Allison all having TDs out of preseason would have been unthinkable before.
Pogba has a new friend. I have that same scarf Norman is wearing.
For a 3rd round pick?!This has got to be because of an issue off the field, no?
Poor Collins, though. Going from a 7-1 team, to and 0-8. He should just retire.
From what I've read he was going to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, was asking for Von Miller money & talks hadn't progressed. Still shocked we traded him after trading Chandler Jones at the start of the season.
Why not just let him see out his contract, and say goodbye when the season is over? Losing Collins is bad no matter how you look at it.
Considering the fact that the Pats don't really have any picks in next years draft, it makes sense though.
No idea but Bill probably knows what he's doing. Perhaps there were some problems within the locker-room.
Thats gotta sting. In with a good chance of getting a ring this season..For a 3rd round pick?!

Free Agent at the end of the year, they get a 3rd round pick for him. they must figure they have someone who can match his production and better to get a 3rd rounder for him.
"I used to tell Jamie Collins in the meetings: 'We are as good as you want us to be'"- Michael Lombardi on the message Bill Belichick is sending.
They wouldve got a decent compensatory pick fpr him if he left via free agency.
3rd round.
... so why did we let him leave then? This smells like locker room issues.
You think? Except for last night, the play calling has been pretty poor for over a year. Last night had more variety, then the start of the second half started, and it became predictable (until we went behind).
Wtf.
Did anyone see the rnb quartet singing the anthem?
Bears are totally out playing the Vikings so far

The Vikes won't get far in the playoffs with this patchwork OL, even if AD makes a comeback.
It's funny because Belichick wouldn't give Von Miller Von Miller money.
Norv Turner has resigned as the Vikings' OC.
This week has had some out of the blue announcements if you add the Collins trade and Johnson's retirement to this news.

Its not surprising. They have the best defense but their offense is 2nd to last. They need a change.
He's one of the best in the business. The change they need is about 5 new OL.

So I see Siemian will have a 'C' on the front of his jersey for the 2nd half of the season. Interesting.
Eh?
He's been named an offensive captain, joining DT.
Oh - I never actually knew that Captains wore a C
I think it makes sense to have the QB in a captains role but I mostly found it interesting as it makes it clear he's #1 for at least the rest of the season. For all the talk of it only being a matter of time before Lynch took over, Siemian has done well.

Yeah.
On a side note Tampa's colour rush looked quite cool yesterday.
On another side note it was very interesting to read yesterday that the only years NFL ratings have been down year on year are election years (2004, 2012 and this year).
Yeah the c thing had me completely fooled too.

And this from supporters of a sport which is fascinated by the captaincy (at least in England).
Was looking for polling data and found this on 538 about the Broncos defense...

It may end up like the legendary '85 Bears, whereby the '86 defense was actually better but no one talks about it because they didn't win the Super Bowl.

Really wish the Broncos-Raiders game wasn't the late night one, that should be a good one to watch.
Pats on a bye so I'm reliant on only United not to feck up my day

I was just about to have a moan about that, it feels like the Broncos have been the late game loads so far. Thursday night, Monday night, and now the late Sunday night. So annoying.
Will be interesting to see how we'll (Vikes) get along without Norv Turner now, we've been so terrible on offense after the bye week. Need to get things going against Detroit to get things firing again. That's O-line, though. Poor Bradford. He'll probably get injured if we'd kept on persisting with the 7-drop passes .. Need plays to get rid of the ball much quicker.

Two players ejected from the game in Dallas v Cleveland
Beckhammmmm!
That run from Fitzpatrick
