Cardinals sign QB Sam Bradford

That guy must have the greatest agent in the universe.

He has never played all that great, he is always injured, why do teams continue to make deals to get him?

It might be late March, but flip your calendars forward, Miami: Brocktober is coming.

Brock Osweiler signed with the Miami Dolphins on Friday, the team announced.

Osweiler has created a football odyssey of sorts for him in recent years, going from unheralded backup in Denver to highly paid starter in Houston, to Texans outcast shipped to Cleveland along with a second-round pick, to backup in Denver yet again. All of this happened in a span of three seasons.

Osweiler lit it up against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football late in the 2017 season, launching him into a brief, stratospheric flight before crashing back to earth the next week in a 27-11 loss to Washington. It was the last Denver would see of Osweiler, who drifted into free agency after the close to a disappointing season for the Broncos.

Osweiler resurfaced in Miami, where he took a Thursday visit and will backup Ryan Tannehill, who missed the entire 2017 season with an ACL injury. Most Dolphins fans will want to forget the brief Jay Cutler era and return to Tannehill as the driver. Now they'll have the added knowledge -- no, not comfort -- of Osweiler's existence on the bench, where he hopefully won't be denied garbage-time snaps like he once was by Peyton Manning.

Bunch of rule changes announced.

The part of the catch rule about surviving the ground is gone, that should get rid of the stupid no catch calls when replay shows the ball moving a fraction of an inch as a player slams into the ground.

Lowering the head before making contact is now a 15 yard penalty with possible ejection (they are still working on that part of the new rule).

The replay center can now call for ejections if they see something the refs on the field missed.

No more meaningless PATs, what took them so long to do this?  Making the teams come back out to kick an extra point after the end of all the celebrations for a win was always stupid.

I've been hearing about them but hadn't followed up on them..
I agree with these changes so far.
