Football Fan Spot

  I don’t get this. Steve Smith can’t be Jeremy Maclin insurance because he too will probably miss the first 6 weeks of the season. He can’t be an upgrade in the slot because Jason Avant is already very good there. The only thing this signing could possibly be is…

  Steve Johnson isn’t an elite receiver. He can do some boneheaded things and always seems to drop the ball at the worst possible time, so 36.25 million over 5 years with 19.5 million guaranteed seems a little rich. However, he shows great chemistry with Ryan Fitzpatrick, to the tune…

  Steve Janis bringing you the insight, intelligence and fan’s perspective of everything Buffalo Bills. I can be reached at wnywatercooler@gmail.com.  My website is www.wnywatercooler.com. I have been running this all Buffalo blog since 2007.  Obviously I’m a season ticket holder and an avid fan of all sports.  The Bills are my…

  The Titans obviously need interior line help. LeRoy Harris isn’t very good and Jake Scott is probably gone as a free agent. Hutchinson is an older player, 34, who was overpaid on the rebuilding Vikings, but he’s a good fit for the Titans on a cheaper contract. He was…

  The Patriots needed safety help, but I don’t know how much Gregory, who was ProFootballFocus’ 75th ranked safety last season in San Diego, will help. He can be solid depth, which they lacked last season, but they’re giving him 7.5 million over 3 years which suggests they think of…

  I don’t understand this at all. The Chiefs just spent a 1st round pick on Jonathan Baldwin and they already have Dwayne Bowe. Why would they give Breaston 25 million over 5 years with 9.5 million guaranteed? I understand Baldwin might not be ready to start as a rookie…

  I had Tulloch as my 20th rated free agent. He’s one of the best linebackers in the league. He’s only 26 and his 160 tackles last year were 2nd in the league. I have no idea how the Lions got him for 3.25 million dollars for the 2011 season.…

  Defensive Tackle/Nose Tackle Oregon State 6-1 303 Draft board overall prospect rank: #30 Draft board overall defensive tackle rank: #5 Overall rating: 81 (early 2nd) 40 time: 5.11 (projected) 3/29/11: You probably know Stephen Paea as the guy who damn near benched 50 reps of 225 at The Combine…

Stephen Nicholas is a serviceable starting linebacker in this league and they get him at a good rate, 17.5 million over 5 years. However, I don’t like the idea of giving an average player a five year deal. Nicholas is only 27, so it might not be the worst thing…

  Wide receiver Georgia Tech 6-4 215 Draft board overall prospect rank: #27 Draft board overall wide receiver rank: #4 Overall rating: 82 (Borderline 1st round prospect) 40 time: 4.36 Games watched:  Positives ·         Physical freak ·         Rare athlete ·         Excellent size and height (6-4 215) ·         Great speed (4.36)…
