The Pats have the 4th highest cap space available, with any mega contracts in the offing, to boost their bid for a repeat. Broncos need a new O Line, Seattle need a rethink, Raiders need a new home, Niners need a new roster.
Lots of teams are in transition mode. Let’s just hope we can tempt @anon7035031 back to shock his wonderful and extensive knowledge of the game.
Plenty of teams are scrambling to fix the O Line this year so the pickings in Free Agency will be slim for a team with so little Cap Space ($18m) and no first round draft pick.
If Teddy was anywhere near healthy they’d go with him and redeem the first round pick sent to the Eagles.
Even if the draft isn’t deep with talent on the O Line they’d be in a better trade position to ship the first round pick for a couple of lower picks to boost the O line down there and bring in form one of these http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/offensive-line/
They should drop Kalil as quick as they can to free up cap space being tied up by a serious underachiever.
The titles for Superbowl threads have been terribly unimaginative in recent years.
The “Path to Meadowlands” title for the 2014 Superbowl thread was I assume so chosen because of the name of the train that crosses under the Hudson to the stadium in question. A fine thread title, but it’s been downhill ever since.
The 2015 thread “the Dusty Path to Phoenix, Arizona” was just about acceptable, given its reference to the Arizona desert, but a reference to Route 66 would have been much more appropriate.
The 2016 Superbowl thread title, “the Road to Santa Clara”, was pathetic and given that Santa Clara is essentially San Jose, a rather obvious cultural reference was missed here.
Similarly “the Road to Houston” thread title made no reference to the mode of transport that Houston is best known for.
Minneapolis is known for two things - the late, great, Prince, and the Mississippi river.
Please amend the thread title to “Superbowl LII - The Meandering to Minneapolis”, to reflect the culture of the venue’s area.
