Also, Amster should be happy his team is not the Browns.
And on Weeden, I agree he should be happy to not be a Brown anymore. The only sad thing about it for him is he's no spring chicken with a lot of experience (he's 30 YO and a 2 year vet), and the past 2 years was in some ways a waste of time that he does not have a lot of left. I'm sure he learned some things and his time there was not a complete waste, but this is not what he hoped for coming into the NFL in 2012 as a 28 YO rookie.
I think Vick to the Jets is a good fit for several reasons. First, who else around the league is going to offer Vick a chance to start? Not many. He will get a chance with the Jets, so for Vick that's all he can really hope for. Second, it is good for the Jets b/c they would have a veteran QB who can show these young dumb QBs how to go about winning in this league. Third, and b/c of that, maybe Vick can help turn one of those young dumb QBs into something special. And on my list of the young and dumb Jet QBs is Sanchez. Yes, he will still be a Jet come next fall unless he really flops somehow. I predict that b/c it is unlikely the Jets will release him b/c if they did the Jets would still owe him $5M in cap money this coming year. If they cut Sanchez, that $5M is dead money (money paid to players not on the roster).
SEA made a few good moves to retain players so far. And they made a few good moves to not retain players from the Super Bowl team. I think some SEA fans are unhappy the team let go of some players (Tate to DET, Clemons to JAX, Bryant to JAX, McDonald to BUCS, Giacomini to NYJ, Browner to NE, Schofield to NYG, Maragos to PHI). And Walter Thurmond's status is still up in the air as he is visiting teams this week, including SF. (Walter, if you are listening, PLEASE STAY IN SEATTLE.) I will miss those guys they let go, except the RT, but the move to let them fly had to be with good reason. Namely, the biggest SEA free agents in 2015 includes:
Byron Maxwell,
Cliff Avril,
Earl Thomas,
K.J. Wright,
Malcolm Smith,
Richard Sherman,
Jermaine Kearse,
and biggest 2016 SEA free agents will include (amongst others):
Marshawn Lynch,
Russell Okung,
Russell Wilson,
Bobby Wagner,
Brandon Mebane,
J.R. Sweezy,
Robert Turbin,
Zach Miller.
So Seattle is trying to save cap money for the stars I highlighted who I think will get the attention, although the others may as well. Lynch will be 29 years old by then, so SEA may have a tough decision to make, considering their depth at RB.
