not back, as I never left 
... just super busy and crawling my way thru tons of mentions and shit
Suh is your typical big-money, lots-of-noise signing by teams delusional about being 1-2 players away from actual relevance (same goes for Revis to the Jets, Mccoy to the Bills and just about every other big free-agent signing). Handicapping a franchise just to keep butts in those seats. Miami will again have a good 1st 1-2 months and then be out of the playoffs by November; same story, with or without Suh.
There is a reason why the most consistent franchises over the past 7-8 years - Pats, Ravens, Packers - have one particular thing in common: they all build thru the draft and basically avoid the noise of big money signings in the first days of free agency.
As for Tommy, I am sure he is real scared that Suh left a better team (Lions) to join an inferior one (Dolphins) - somebody's gotta polish those rings, after all, and the job is getting too hectic for Sexy Rexy alone.
very good, potentially great deal for Philly imo and a typical short-sighted, Rexy move by the Bills (not as bad as the contract they gave TE Clay but not too far off either). McCoy is not too old - 27 yo next year - but he has a lot of mileage on him already and he is a smaller back i.e. that wear and tear is gonna start showing sooner than later. Mccoy may well be a product of the Chip system as he had his best years there. Before he was considered a very good but not a great RB.
At the same time, Chip's system isn't so dependent on the individual talent of the RB and he was looking for a more "direct" runner than mccoy's style and lack of size allow him to be. In addition, Chip got a potentially great MLB and cleared a lot of cap-room.
Moving mccoy for Alonso was a typical Belichick move. So was letting an average WR like Maclin go instead of resigning him for stupid money like Kansas City did (all the while going into yet another great WR draft class).
Chip did manage to feck it up after that, imo, by wasting whatever cap room he saved on injury prone, aging RBs like Murray and Matthews. matthews is constantly injured, while murray got beat up last year and statistically, that doesn't bode well for his future production. And that Dallas Offensive line isn't part of the deal either.
Considering this year's draft class is a talented and deep one at the RB position, that seemed like a hasty move to me. The type of free agency move Belichick would rather hang himself than see happen on his watch
Go Pats. #quest4#5 #one4thethumb :evil:
