My Brownies are going to bring Kaep to Cleveland.
Draft Bosa with the 2nd overall pick if he is there and ruin his career!

I'm fairly certain Bosa will handle the trashing of his own career.

Broncos sign Mark Sanchez.

Rookie cornerback Tray Walker hopes to avoid Ravens' locker room curse

Spoiler!

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- There is a growing block of lockers at the Baltimore Ravens facility that not only represents the team's most significant injuries, but a potential curse, according to the players.

From left to right, there are the lockers of Terrell Suggs, Steve Smith Sr., Breshad Perriman, Justin Forsett and Chris Canty. All of these players have been placed on season-ending injured reserve, and their placement in the locker room is the exact order each player has been placed on IR.

The next in line is rookie cornerback Tray Walker, whose unfavorable spot in the locker room hasn't gone unnoticed.

"Someone asked me if I wanted to move my locker," Walker said. "We're going to knock on all of this wood in here and pray and hope nothing happens."

Players started realizing this painful trend last month, and Canty was asked about it after Forsett broke his arm.

"I'm going to stay prayed up," Canty said at the time. On Sunday, Canty tore his pectoral muscle and is out for the season.

While looking at the five empty lockers beside him, Walker said he's not a superstitious person.

"You got to do what you got to do to take care of your body," Walker said. "You can't escape from injuries. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. If not, thank God."

Walker, a fourth-round pick, could see his most extensive playing time on defense Sunday as the Ravens look to their young cornerbacks in the final three games of the season. He has been described as raw in terms of technique and knowledge of the game because he is coming from a small-school program at Texas Southern.

“Tray has been up and down,” Harbaugh said. “There are moments you see his talent and he shines. There’s nobody more coachable than Tray. He’s a sponge; he wants to learn. Tray’s issue is he has a lot to learn."

This is a big game for Walker personally as well. His mother is flying to Baltimore, and she's never seen him play in an NFL game.

"They tell me to be ready because my name could be called at any time," Walker said. "I'm very excited. Just to show the crowd and the team what I can do on the field."

ESPN said he passed away. Sad news

[ReignOnU]

Looking forward to that 3-0 start this year... just curious who is playing QB from October forward now...

[DRWebs]

For the Browns it seems like a decent enough move to see if they can extract any value that remains for RGIII. For RGIII, while it's nice to have a coach that believes in you, it's hard to envision that actually happening with how much talent they don't have especially on the offensive line now. Browns gonna Browns?

Pretty amazing

New York Jets left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, a former Pro Bowl player known for his remarkable durability, is retiring Friday at age 32, league sources told ESPN.com. Ferguson, the fourth overall pick in 2006, has no known injury issues. Not only did he play every game in 10 seasons -- 167 consecutive starts, including playoffs -- but he also never missed a practice and never appeared on an injury report. In fact, Ferguson missed only one offensive snap in 10 years, and that was a trick play when the entire offensive line was removed.

I thought about posting it in not so newsworthy since it's almost becoming commonplace for players to retire early the past couple seasons. I think it possible Ferguson didn't care much for their request for him to take a significant pay cut and that the unwanted feeling probably played into his decision as well

That's pretty cool. Wish him the best going forward too. Great to see him make a good amount of money and come out healthy (hopefully).

Thomas has the same thing going. Hasn't missed a single snap in his career. Pretty sure he hasn't missed a pro bowl either.

With the amount of bodies crashing around those guys that's insane

Good lord Denver!

I think the Jets are probably the most surprising:
