I have 3 on my roster in the hope that one of them joins the elite Manning/Brady level...or I get a big offer for a trade on one. ;)

The Tacoma News Tribune suggests Christine Michael could be the Seahawks feature back as soon as 2015.

Analysis: Seattle-based ESPN reporter John Clayton recently made a similar suggestion. Marshawn Lynch is 28 years old, has piled up 1,753 NFL carries and carries a $9 million cap hit in 2015. The Seahawks, who just paid Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman, will need more money when it comes time to pay Russell Wilson. Michael, a supremely gifted natural runner, carries a mere $920,300 cap hit in 2015. Robert Turbin is just a pass-protection specialist.

With Browns receiver Josh Gordon on the precipice of a league-mandated suspension that could cost him the entire 2014 season after failing another drug test, the Cleveland standout who led the league in receiving yards last year despite a two-game suspension can't seem to stay out of trouble.

Gordon was issued a speeding ticket on Memorial Day, according to WKCY, after police say he was caught driving 74 mph in a 60 mph zone. During the stop, a passenger in Gordon's Mercedes was issued a citation for possession of marijuana.

Police say the marijuana was found in a blue bag, and the passenger admitted that it belonged to that person.

"We are gathering information regarding the situation," the team said in a statement released to multiple media outlets. "We will not have any further comment until the appropriate time."

It was reported earlier this week that Gordon is in Stage 3 of the league's drug program. That means a violation of the NFL's policy would keep him from playing for at least a year. Gordon has appealed the suspension for now.

"We have to build this team so that no one player drives the ship," coach Mike Pettine saidearlier this month. "That we can be insulated losing players for extended periods of time potentially is part of the game. Successful franchises are the ones that have enough depth built and enough options to account for it."

Gordon is due to be in court June 4 to answer the speeding citation.

Not very good at cutting and pasting, but on the bleacher report there's a video of Christine Michael at ota. Some moves the boy has.

Where is everyone. I know it's June but I've put in about 8 trade requests over 3 leagues and not one reply.

Looks that way.

 

 

Seems likely that Jonathan Franklins career is over.

 

@MarcSesslerNFL: Rough. RT @jasonjwilde: McCarthy says Franklin's status to be addressed by org. tomorrow but his #Packers career is over b/c of neck injury.

Nessies, holding a spot for you if you still want it.

 

No obligations though, got a short list of alternatives lined up if you don't want to take more of our money.

Yeh he's got good balance. I'm team 4. First time I've went QB in the third round but manning should be up there with a few points extra a week.

I thought you hated RBs Larry?

I opened on a few I didn't want, trying to get others to spend ?. But I set the high bid quite a bit below what my high price would be on them, so if I end up with them I still get decent value. Free for all now that so many have been put up at once....Already passed my price tag on one of my main targets, Floyd.

Some of these prices are ridiculous. Trying to stick to the same strategy as last year but don't want to end up totally uncompetitive.

I like team 8. Pretty hard to choose from though, with just one year in mind.

 

Team 5 would have had a great preseason team if this was 12 months ago. Some of those guys will bounce back.

Thanks for outbidding me on Calvin

I won't win him though. His price is still relatively cheap I think.

 

I messed up with my Lattimer bid, wish someone hadn't bid up on him so I could reduce that one. Happy with the rest of them so far.

 

 

It's been a strange auction. Some rookies going for huge amounts, and some veterans who will definitely produce this year going too cheap as it is.

Not sure, I don't know that I'd pay much more for him than the other top guys.

 

I think it's te second/third tier that's overpriced.

 

I can only think the rookies are going so high with a view to putting them on the practice squad till they hit.
