I'd love to see an NFL franchise in London. Preferably the Packers or Eagles!!!

I'd actually prefer to have the Packers actually play in London first...like most every other team has.  How they've managed to escape that thus far baffles the mind.

Not really: Hydra will never allow the team providing cover for their nefarious activities to risk exposing them.

If JR Sweezy is cut in TB, is he someone that the Vikings should look at bringing in? They have Marpet, Smith, and now Alex Cappa competing for 2 guard spots.

hes coming off of a knee injury, and his contract is not guaranteed.

Missed all of 2016 with an injury and then injured at the end of the last year... is he really that much different than Tom Compton at this point? Graded out as poor by PFF metrics last year.

Chuck Knox, a head coach renowned for impressive turnarounds of three NFL franchises, has died at the age of 86. Knox served as head coach of the Rams, Bills and Seahawks and is the only coach ever to win the Associated Press Coach of the Year award with three different franchises.

In 1973 Knox got his first head-coaching job and got instant results, taking over a team that had gone 6-7-1 the year before and finishing 12-2 in his first season. Knox won at least 10 games in all five of his seasons with the Rams, but his teams faltered in the playoffs, he never reached the Super Bowl, and he left the Rams after the 1977 season.

His next stop was the Bills in 1978, and once again he turned around a lowly franchise, improving them to 11-5 by his third season. But Knox again fell short in the playoffs, and was again gone after five years.

In 1983 Knox went to the Seahawks and did perhaps his best coaching job yet, taking over a franchise that had never made the playoffs in its brief history and reaching the AFC Championship Game in his first season. But in nine years in Seattle, Knox never made it that far in the playoffs again. After leaving Seattle he had one final coaching stint back with the Rams, but he was unsuccessful.

Known as “Ground Chuck” for his reliance on the running game, Knox was an old-school coach with an old-school approach, an approach that allowed him to mold three teams into winners.
