Yeah. Cobb said he saw what happened to Jennings and Jones when they left.

@MikeGarafolo: QB Jake Locker is retiring. Wow.

So Jennings experience with our beloved Vikes served as an object lesson for a Packer to remain a Packer?

Ouch.

@AdamSchefter Free-agent WR Torrey Smith has reached agreement on a five-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, per me and @caplannfl

@RapSheetMore from Jake Locker: “I no longer have the burning desire necessary to play the game for a living.”

So Lions give up a 4th and a 5th for Ngta who is 31 years old and will be a UFA next year. Seems like a lot.

@SigmundBloom Mariota talk still very alive RT @MattLombardo975 ESPN joining NFL Net and others reporting swap of 1sts + PHI getting another pick from STL
@smartfootball Honestly if Eagles move up to #10 in the draft *and* get another pick for Foles/Bradford swap, that's a pretty solid deal
@AlanDandar @JoshNorris. Better turn your trade radar on. If Eagles in fact have moved to #10, to get to #5 from there, a 2015 2nd easily gets it done.

NM. Still, Mariota isn't out of the question with the addition of Bradford. I just sense trade bait.
@jthom1 I'm told by Rams that Bradford-Foles trade does NOT involve swap of first-round picks.

@MatthewFairburn LeSean McCoy when asked what he told Frank Gore about Chip: "Oh so many bad things. That's why he didn't go." He has jokes.
@975TheFanatic Sal Pal: Talked to "Nick Foles family - he is...pumped, overjoyed he's out of PHI"
Man, it sounds like Chip Kelly is Jim Harbaugh with more power. From what I've read you either like and understand him or you don't. No middle ground. I wonder if 2015 is going to be a defining year for him. If things go badly things could get really interesting in Philly.

Ok, I am very confused. Are the teams actually swapping picks or did St. Louis jettison their first round pick entirely?
