Im only going to discuss positions of need, not all the guys that are or will be draft eleigible in 2015. Cam Erving: started the year LT, but switched to Center to help the team as that position was an issue. Running game, line protection and offensive efficiency improved. Show how versatile he is and can multiple positions. Keep an eye in him. He came to FSU as Dt and coaches told him his future is at OL, he trusted the coaches, so he's definitely a team player. Redshirt senior, so he's definitely mature and physically ready. Would be a great replacement for Roberto at Center PJ Williams: Guy can cover and play the run as a cb. Is aggressive and does not back…

Just kidding, but here are some videos of Ryan Pace if you haven't seen them: http://www.neworleanssaints.com/media-cent...70-0645c279fa4d http://www.neworleanssaints.com/media-cent...cf-c411bc91921c

@RapSheet: The #Cowboys and DC Rod Marinelli have reached an agreement on a contract for him to stay, source said. Big one for Dallas.

Zach Zaidman ‏@ZachZaidman 5m5 minutes ago #Bears reached an agreement with Sam Garnes (assistant DBs), Dave Magazu (OL coach) and Derius Swinton II (assistant ST coach). Kevin Fishbain ‏@kfishbain 4m4 minutes ago New Bears O-line coach Dave Magazu has coached with John Fox since 2003. Fun fact: he coached offensive tackles/tight ends at NIU in 1984

Per PFT:

This was one of the most informative and engaging interviews I have ever heard. He described Pace as a cutting edge GM and that he had been after him for two years . He said he told Loomis that if this guy wants to be a GM he needs to interview now. He also talked about how the impromptu interview went down with Todd Bowles and said after that Pace lead the interviews for all the rest of the candidates and that he took the background when Fox became available. He really feels strongly about Adam Gase as a HC candidate from his interview with him and he talked about how Fangio had made Eli Manning look out of sorts when his defense had an attack plan against him.

Now that we have a staff in place, as well as other teams, lets look again at the 2015 schedule: Home: Detroit Lions - W - I think we split with Detroit this year Green Bay Packers - L - We are probably another year from truly competing with GB Minnesota Vikings - W - We should've beaten them twice last year, but the last game actually put us in a better position Arizona Cardinals - W - Bowles gone, team played over their heads, 4-4 on the road last year, this one could go either way San Francisco 49ers - W - Brand new coaching staff, watch Tomsula's Comcast interview, and we will have a lot of insight into their schemes Washington Redskins - W - Horrib…

http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/2/5/79856...-jameis-winston Marcus Mariota takes a tumble in McShay's Mock Draft 2.0. Marcus Mariota could experience a slide down the board on draft day. For the time being, he's experiencing a slide down Todd McShay's Mock Draft 2.0, as the ESPN analyst has him falling to the New York Jets at No. 6.

Based on current contracts for 2015, the following personnel are under contract for 2015. Projecting moves to Practice Squad, but not considering current roster cuts, it looks like we will need: (1x QB, 1x RB/FB, 1x WR, 1x TE, 1x OL, 2x DL, 2x LB, 2x CB, 2x S, 1x LS). Does that look about right? Who do you want to see cut, and how many of these 43 make the 53 man roster? Offense - (20): QB - (2) Cutler Fales RB - (3) Forte Carey Perry WR - (5) Marshall Jeffery Wilson Bellamy Mariani Chiles (Res/Fut) TE - (2) Bennett Annen OL - (8) Bushrod Long Mills Garza Slauson Leno Ola Groy Defense - (23): D…

Here are the times when our guys will be speaking to the media if anyone is interested: Wednesday, Feb 18th: 1100: John Fox 1230: Ryan Pace * all times EST

Here are the list of Unanimous and Consensus All-Americans that are in the 2015 draft: All-Americans Unanimous Tevin Coleman, RB Landon Collins, DB Amari Cooper, WR Senquez Golson, DB Melvin Gordon, RB Gerod Holliman, DB Tre Jackson, OL Hau'oli Kikaha, LB Marcus Mariota, QB Brandon Scherff, OL Consensus Nick O'Leary, TE Reese Dismukes, OL Laken Tomlinson, OL Vic Beasley, DL Malcom Brown, DL Shane Ray, DL Paul Dawson, LB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, DB Tyler Lockett, KR/PR I see a lot of names that the Bears have been linked to. It is interesting to look back at past award winners and see where they ended up in the draft an…

Odrick to sign with Jaguars for 7 mil per year. From NFL.com

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 12m12 minutes ago The #Browns assigned free safety Tashaun Gipson a second-round RFA tender. With a shallow draft pool, wonder if someone will bite. Wouldn't mind seeing the Bears bite one bit. Still just 24 years old he'd only be a couple years older than what our 2nd rounder would be, and he's already established himself as a top 5 safety. Injury is a bit of a concern though.

That would be a great start to this year after already locking up Royal, Pernell, royal and Rolle!

Still waiting on McDonald's and Ball's contracts, but I am impressed that we got Foster on a league minimum deal. Ray McDonald's 1-year contract with #Bears included no guaranteed money. Base value is $1.05M. Another $450K available in incentives. Alan Ball 2015: $1 million signing bonus, $1.95 million base salary, $50,000 workout bonus Total: $3 million Cap figure: $3 million Mason Foster 2015: $80,000 signing bonus, $745,000 base salary Total: $825,000 Cap figure: $665,000 (minimum salary benefit) Ray McDonald 2015: $870,000 base salary, $50,000 roster bonus, $30,000 workout bonus, $100,000 in per-game roster bonuses, $450,000 in not …
