I'd take O'Hara in Oakland with Davis to beef up the O-Line.

Texans having a good offseason. Daniel Manning and Jonathon Joseph. Both help fix the secondary. Not neccesarily Aso standard but Joseph is extremely good.

Only teams left for Aso really are Jets, Ravens, Lions, 49ers.

Thing is with the Texans is they've brought in Wade Phillips and are switching to the 3-4 defence this season. With this short off season I don't think they'll be good enough again this year. You're right though, those two will help. Fair play to them on pulling the trigger on Joseph rather than waiting for Asomougha to make his mind up.

From what I've seen on Twitter, it seems to be Jets vs 9ers. Praying he goes to San Fran and out of the AFC. Sick of the sight of him after seeing him twice a year every year.

Yeah true. It's so strange how much of an effect Peyton Manning has on other teams. He is the reason they are going to the 34. Compared to the 43 Peyton struggles against 34 teams (i'm sure i've seen/read this) and therefore they are trying to stop him. Both the new guys help that but i just don't know how Mario Williams fits in. He's too good to be on the line in a 34 i'm not sure if he is fast/athletic enough to play OLB. He could be an excellent OLB but it's a big risk.

I think he'll ultimately end up at the Jets which is a shame as I really like him. He seems like a decent guy whereas the Jets have the arrogance of the Patriots without having achieved anything.

I told everyone on this thread it was going to happen months ago

BB for some reason is very good friends with him so it was going to happen, just hope he changes his name back and stops dicking around!

Another 'throwaway' trade aswell a 5th rounder next year and a 6th the year after, classic BB/Patriots

Wade wants Mario as an OLB. Comparing his skill set to that of DWare. Like you say, a massive risk but could prove to be productive.

All the AFC South teams need to do is have a word with the Chargers staff. We've had Peyton in our back pocket the last couple of years. Shame we couldn't do the same to the likes of Matt Cassell, Jason Campbell and Matt Hassellbeck last season.

Gamepass subscriptions came online today!

Special price of £159.99 for a short time but this year they have also given you the option of 4 payments of £39.99 which I took up. The interface looks good this year and easier to navigate. Well worth it if you have a spare £40 IMO.

49ers have dropped out of the Nnamdi bid. It's down to 2 now... Jets or Cowboys.

I assume it comes with NFL Network like last year? As well as the anytime options for the shows?
