Rumour mill

This offseason, as with any offseason is filled with intriguing rumours. How much of these are manufactured by a bored media is anyones guess. Below are some of the more interesting story lines of the offseason. Most of these have been stuck in neutral with weeks of reports that these were done deals, only to find a retraction article the next day.

Richard Sherman trade talks: Everyone who actually reads this blog knows how I feel about Richard Sherman. In case your new, hes a punk bitch that only talks when hes winning. Anyways, this was an interesting storyline because the Seahawks GM confirmed it. Which is a weird move. This put a bunch of pressure on the organization to actually ship out this nut case. Now it looks like hes gonna stay put. So keep an eye out for a butthurt Sherman providing us with passive aggressive remarks throughout the season. Hopefully this distraction will eat away at a Hawks locker room that loves them some Richard. Bunch of outspoken punks if you ask me. Again there is no bias here.

Malcolm Butler trade talk: The writing was on the wall. The Patriots signed Stephon Gilmore to a megadeal instead of paying the super bowl hero what he deserved. What you have now is a guy with a restricted free agent tender and constant flirtation with the Saints. Reports indicate that he is unlikely to be dealt. I wouldn't pass judgement until draft day as ole Billy mumbler is bound to make at least seven trades.

Jimmy Garrapolo to the Browns: another Patriots player whose maybe on the block. Its kind of hard to get a quote from those shifty patriots. Nonetheless Jimmy G has been linked to the Browns all offseason. It makes sense as cleveland has a million draft picks in the next few years. However, recent reports have the Browns brass falling in love with hometown boy Mitch Trubisky which makes the likelihood of a deal happening minuscule.
