2011 NFL Offseason

[UMFan83]

Eagles just traded Kolb to the Cardinals for Rodgers-Cromartie.

 

That's a blockbuster. Interesting trade.

[NonProfitCow]

Ochocinco to the Pats apparently.

 

Geez, how much cap room do they have, or are the Skins eating a lot of Haynesworth's deal?

The Patriots owe Haynesworth $5.4 million for this year and $6.7 million next year, none of it guaranteed.

first fukudome now ocho what's the point of living

Waiver wire is open and the cuts are coming fast and furious.

 

Titans didn't wait....Vince Young has been released.

 

Philly would be a great landing spot for Vince. He'd have a mobile QB to learn from and the Eagles wouldn't have to change the offense when he came in. Hopefully he'll be good wherever he goes, I'm still pulling for him.

 

did the dolphins pick up a qb? i could see him landing there and doing some wildcat [expletive] with bush

 

Until this afternoon it looked like they were going to get Orton. They still might. Supposedly flirting with VY.

i'm pretty thrilled about it. kolb wasn't going to play, so we basically got a second round pick and a CB who made the pro bowl in 2009 for nothing.

Clabo back to the Falcons

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Saints sign Sproles.

In honor of VY, here's a Skip Bayless article from 2006 where he says that Young is Jordan-esque.

i still maintain that young had the physical tools to be a star, and even the awareness on the field, but he seems like kind of a whacko and that really torpedoed his progress.

I think he still can be a star. I think the worse thing that happened to Vince was coming in and playing immediately on some pretty good Titans teams. With the obsession people have with QB W/L records, they (and Vince himself) were seeing a 17-11 QB record and taking that as Vince being a good QB already. What most people ignored, however, is that his numbers were mediocre to terrible early on.

 

But I think the QB record made Vince feel like he was already where he should be as a QB and he wasn't working as hard as he needed to in order to continue to improve. I'm hoping playing behind Vick, another extremely physically gifted QB who relied too much on his talent early on, will help Vince to realize he needs to put more work in in order to be a great QB - which I think he can still be.

HAHAHA...

 

Kolb was impressed by AZ back in NFC title game. Liked how clean area was. "Granted, I was coming from Philadelphia."

[Banedon]

Patriots release DE Ty Warren.

 

Karen Guregian of the Globe is reporting Warren isn't coming back to Pats, Pats "going a different direction" defensively.

Haha. He knows Glendale is not close to Phoenix, right?

[fiver]

Saints sign Sproles.

 

Reggie who?

[Formerly Snayke]

Rams sign G Harvey Dahl. I really hope they didn't just get another Richie Incognito.

Less money for Nnamdi: Cowboys reached agreement with Marcus Spears on a 5-year, $19.2 million deal.

Wow.

I don't think the Spears deal impacts what the Cowboys will or won't do for Nnamdi. They were thin on DE with Hatcher, Spears, and Bowen all UFA. With or without Nnamdi, the Cowboys were going to need to sign 1-2 DE. My guess is the Spears signing more than likely means they won't spend big money on Cullen Jenkins.

[UMFan83]

Saints sign Sproles.

 

Reggie who?

 

Yeah that's a great set of moves. Obviously Bush has more talent and upside than Sproles, but Sproles does a lot of the stuff Reggie did for them in previous years. So they got 80% of Reggie Bush and a 3rd round pick (right?) out of it.

Albert Breer reports Jets out of Nnamdi sweepstakes.

 

Clarence Hill tweets that Jerry hands phone to Rex Ryan who talks to someone and then shares a fist-bump with Jones.

Supposedly going to the Eagles.

Supposedly going to the Eagles.

 

Schefter says it's done. 5 years, $60 mil, $25 mil guaranteed

[PrimeTime]

Wow that Eagles secondary is going to be good, 3 pro bowl corners. Could be the NFC champions this year. They have the D and offense to do it.

I question their pass rush.
