He Hate Me!

[still_life]

He Hate Me!

Yep, I still have the feeling the guy would have never even made it to the NFL if not for being so famous for his XFL jersey.

[still_life]

And you could probably expect names like Sam Madison and Eric Moulds to show up soon. Damn, AFC East sucks.

[Flags of Dawn]

the packers are under the cap...theres hope for another brett favre farwell tour after all!

[Drew Beringer]

the packers are under the cap...theres hope for another brett favre farwell tour after all!

Packers should go after Mike Anderson, Ty Law, or Sam Madison. Man, if Bates was still the D-Coordinator, Madison would play at GB I bet.

[tambo41187]

yeah i dont see moulds staying on. The team is still going to owe him 5 million next year no matter what, but we dont have the money to give him another 5 on top of that. It would be great if we could settle at somwhere like 7-71/2 but his agent alredy said he wont accept a pay cut.

I'm okay with it though, he has lost a step each year, and Lee Evans will fill in nicely for him.

[still_life]

Well Miami just got rid of 3 DB's. Might be where they have to go early in the draft.

[Flags of Dawn]

theres a lot of good DBs out there already....good thing bates resigned to become a head coach...that really got him far....

[still_life]

You can expect Pennington's name to come up soon. That means the Jets will most likely be taking Jay Cutler at #4.

[fromwithin]

D'brickashaw!

[piebaldkid42]

Pennington would be retarded not to settle for a pay cut, hes never even played a full season in his career and everyone questions his arm strength. he doesnt have to drop 8 million or anything but i would expect him to settle at like 3 or 4 million

[still_life]

D'brickashaw!

Brooks Bollinger is the franchise QB? I don't think so.

[Trainsaw]

Some good players are going to be moving around

[yeat182]

bye bye duane starks!

i just heard Don Banks (from SI) on the radio and they were saying the Colts are gonna be screwed if there is no agreement.

and you're right still_life, the AFC East is going to suck, that pats luck out once again.

[still_life]

Patriots might add to the suckiness if they lose Vinatieri, Givens, and McGinest.

[yeat182]

Patriots might add to the suckiness if they lose Vinatieri, Givens, and McGinest.

maybe, but they'll still win the east.

[still_life]

And a 9-7 record might just do it.

[yeat182]

And a 9-7 record might just do it.

they'll be much better, assuming they are healthier this year.

[Jerm]

im sad to see mike anderson go.. he was such a great player and team player at at!!!! and the only one to keep the mile high salute going.... hopefully this labor dispute will get settled and the broncos can get him back before someone else. doubtful... but im still hopefull

[derricklc22]

they'll be much better, assuming they are healthier this year.
Redskins and Raiders are in cap hell, haha. Thank God I'm an Eagles fan. With all this cutting and the Eagles(after TO cut 21 mil. under) along with a few more teams ( Pack, Cards, etc.) in good cap shapethere is going to be some great talent out there. And rumor is Simeon Rice is going to be cut loose, I personally would love to see him with the Eagles since our pass rush sucked last yr.

[Dirty Ernie]

the birds definitely need help on both sides of the line

[still_life]

Will Shields, 10 time Pro Bowler, cut

[sweethypocrisy]

simeon rice cut.

[captainobvious]

miami will be in the playoffs

[still_life]

Miami cut more than half of their secondary, their QB stinks, and the defense is old. I don't buy them as a playoff team.

[itsjdiggity]

i guess Travis Henry wasn't cut

[Imallout007]

J-E-T-S jets jets, o fuck there gonna suck again this year... Brady Quinn + Jets= No.1 Pick 2007

[Vincewithouthee]

i guess Travis Henry wasn't cut

More and more players are going to be cut today. A lot more.

[still_life]

Waiting on Oakland to pull the trigger on Kerry Collins (an expected cut CBA or no CBA anyway). Makes you wonder what Oakland has in plan for QB.

[still_life]

Two less CB's for the Chiefs (Warfield and McCleon)

[NetNerdsRevenge]

Marcus Vick would fit right in.

or take a flyer on Pennington.

[still_life]

Al Davis would never take Pennington. He wants a vertical passer.

[mat1419]

free agency got delayed 3 days...so it's a 3 day extension for teams to figure out what the hell to do. tons more cuts coming this weekend it looks like, but a chance for teams to restructure their big name contracts to try and creatively make it work. very interesting off season so far.

[fire on my lips]

Pennington would be retarded not to settle for a pay cut, hes never even played a full season in his career and everyone questions his arm strength. he doesnt have to drop 8 million or anything but i would expect him to settle at like 3 or 4 million
i think his logic is that the jets won't cut him.

[itsjdiggity]

i guess McNair is coming back for one more year...hopefully he can help VY

[bigmike]

Brooks Bollinger is the franchise QB? I don't think so.
to be fair, jay cutler would be?

[bigmike]

You can expect Pennington's name to come up soon. That means the Jets will most likely be taking Jay Cutler at #4.
i fucking hope so. This way the lions can't take him. because he'll bust out in the NFL. way, way overhyped.

Now, if we can only avoid taking a WR (santonio holmes)...

[fluke182]

Will Shields hasn't been released yet.

[FreshyFresh23]

It is being reported that the Seahawks are cuttin' Jamie Sharper and Andre Dyson.

That would put Seattle about 16-18 million under the cap.

[still_life]

to be fair, jay cutler would be?

You never know. He'd be better than Bollinger.

[still_life]

Some updates, and it sounds like John Abraham is traded to Denver for the 29th pick in the draft.

[preppyak]

haha, don't you already have 3 first round WR's, it's just absurd. Basically all you need is a guy who can complete a few 10 yard passes and you are set. They can create their own form of running game with that speed

[still_life]

Martz could change them into that run and shoot-esque offense he runs, and the one Detroit ran with Barry Sanders.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

No Steeler cuts, yet.

Good.

[preppyak]

No Steeler cuts, yet.

Good.
I don't think they have any major cap issues (Bettis gone, likewise with Bell, so those were their two main big contracts that were questionable in recent history)

[LeftWideOpen]

No Steeler cuts, yet.

Good.

word is that Hartings and Maddox are gone. The 2nd one may be a blessing, but losing Hartings hurts.

As for the Pats, this works out well for them. Miami is in cap hell, and has no hope of competing for a playoff spot next season w/ nobody besides Ronnie Brown and Chris Chambers. Losing Ricky was a bigger blow then people seem to think. The Jets are in cap hell and not very good to begin with, and Buffalo is subtracting as well. Pats look safe and sound even if we lose Adam and Givens. McGinest is replaceable, and likely will be with the 1st rounder (Bobby Carpenter seems to be the consensus choice by mock drafts).

[FondestMemory]

word is that Hartings and Maddox are gone. The 2nd is absolutely a blessing, but losing Hartings hurts

fixed.

[still_life]

Willie Williams and Bettis will retire, Maddox will be cut, and they have to do something with center. Losing Hartings won't be that bad since he's old, declined in play, and Okobi needs to take over already. Or maybe they'll draft Nick Mangold.

Don't rip on Maddox. He is directly responsible for the drafting of Ben Roethlisberger in 2004, the 15-1 season, and the Super Bowl win.

Yeah I agree thats what will happen. But we still need to keep Hope more than anyone right now. Randle El isn't nearly as valuable as him. And the Steelers know that.

If we don't keep Hope I think we should draft a FS with our pick. There are some good ones on the board.

And yes, Maddox is the man all right. The only player to win the XFL and NFL Championship!

[still_life]

They'll do what the Steelers always do: make an offer, say they want to keep the guy, he declines it, signs somewhere else for more money, doesn't play as well. It's worked many times for the Steelers, even though I'd like to see Hope stay.

Maddox's poor play in 2003 ---> 6-10 record and 11th pick in the draft ---> Ben Roethlisberger
Maddox's injury/poor play in 2004 ---> Roethlisberger comes in ---> 15-1 season
Maddox blows two starts in 2005 ---> Steelers relish 6th seed in playoffs ---> Super Bowl Championship

Maddox owns. He even pulled off the best Steeler playoff game I've ever seen, against Cleveland in 02.

Yeah exactly. That's been proven sooo many times. I still want to see Hope stay though.

And yes that is true. Maddox actually did help out the Steelers in the end.

That was a crazyyy playoff game. I remember going to that one too. We all thought it was over, but what a comeback.

[ActorInThisPlay]

goddamn the Bucs cut a lot of players...

[justinevans]

eagles tendered reno mahe? are you fucking kidding me andy?

[fluke182]

Ok, once again, Will Shields is still on the Chiefs, and according to ESPN, John Abraham is still a Jet and has not been traded for the 29th pick.

[LeftWideOpen]

in actuality, everyone cut today is still a member of there teams. the cuts dont go into effect until the Sunday night deadline passes, according to Chris Mortensen. If a deal is struck and the cap increases, you won't see all these guys gone.

[bigmike]

Martz could change them into that run and shoot-esque offense he runs, and the one Detroit ran with Barry Sanders.
it's possible. but those rams O-line, QB, Running Back > Lions O-line, QB, Running Back. and those rams WR's > Lions WR's by far.

haha, don't you already have 3 first round WR's, it's just absurd. Basically all you need is a guy who can complete a few 10 yard passes and you are set. They can create their own form of running game with that speed

yeah, but word is that detroits jizzing on the thought of taking Santonio Holmes, the WR from Ohio State. Which makes sense because every franchise turns into a dynasty by wasting 4 #1 picks on WRs in consecutive years. you didn't know that?

[mat1419]

eagles tendered reno mahe? are you fucking kidding me andy?
we totally need another undersized quick running back.

i love andy reid, i really do. but he frustrates me so damn much sometimes.

Rumors are they are looking @ Mike Anderson, Randle El, Hutchinson, Bentley, jurevicious, and rocky bernard

supposedly they are talking to jeff garcia as a backup also.

fraley, runyan, and hollis are as good as gone.

i would love to get anderson...and if eric moulds goes i would love to see him come in as well.

i'm ok with losing mcmahon, detmer stays. that should be a given.

hollis is just about gone, and the other two probably are as well, but our line just isn't that great anymore and losing those two could kill us. anderson's never proven himself with a bad line, i'd rather he didn't have to now.

Cowboys cut Glover, and Nguyen retires.

Steelers cut Maddox and Willie Williams. Looks like they may be waiting on Hartings, depending on the outcome of the extended CBA negotiations.

hey, if they take holmes theyll have one guy on the team who can catch.

well bentley is a center and reports say he would have been signed today if it weren't for the delayment. hutchingson is a T.

Yep it looks like it. There's also possibilities of getting rid of Duce Staley as well.

[bigmike]

oh right, because santonio holmes has the best hands ever. so lets waste a 4th straight #1 pick. in fact, let's just trade our roster for alot of overhyped wide recievers who had a good last game in college football.

If there's no decent o-line for Harrington or, the newly aquired Shaun King (god help us), to give the qb's time to throw the ball having recievers that can catch is of no value. besides, mike williams can catch as can roy williams and when charles rogers get's his head out of his ass and quits crying because he's the second best reciever on the team, he can catch as well. hands aren't the problem. staying healthy, running routes, utilizing their size, etc.. that's the problem.
