I just looked it up. He signed a very reasonable contract with the Eagles $760,000 base with a $500,000 signing bonus and a $250,000 roster bonus. Looks like it was a "show me" type deal, just like the one he signed the year before with the Jags. Not sure why he didn't get a better offer...
It’s hard to tell what the big plan is to address the D-line. I think it may be a case of need not matching up with opportunity. I think over the past couple of drafts we’ve done a very good job of addressing some of the talent issues we had. The depth we’ve added with non-starters has gone a...
And THAT my friend is the difference for me as well. If this years draft class is as successful as last years I'll turn cartwheels across 95 at rush hour. Two things make teams successful in today's NFL: A decent QB and a constant pipeline of young, relatively inexpensive talent. The...
Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never is, but always to be blessed:
The soul, uneasy and confined from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come. - Pope
Ah….training camp is set to open in the NFL in just a couple of short weeks. I don't want to get caught up in who makes or...
I love his answers here. He's not saying anything that's earth shaking but it's not needed. When Scott got here he told us exactly the kind of players and the type of team he wanted to build. He's doing exactly what he said he'd do. How refreshing. No more tipping hands, no more circus feeling...
I think he gets a half. We simply cannot lose to the Bucs. They are not a good team but they are certainly good enough to beat us. If we drop the game this week and get spanked by the Pats things are going to get a lot uglier than they are now.
Not sure what to say about this one but thought I'd throw it to the wolves.
A bold Cowboys trade for RGIII would save their season, his career
By David Steele
The Cowboys don’t have to look far for the quarterback who can save their season. All they have to do is grab the quarterback one...
Man, I definitely don't want to start a kicking carousel like we had a few years ago but I just can't get too worked up about this one one way or another. Forbath is terrible on kickoffs and that has definitely cost us over the years. He's been decent on field goals although he doesn't have the...
I’ve been mulling that question over in my head for a while now. I like numbers so here’s what I was able to come up with. As I see it there are three ways this season could go:
Option #1 “The Crap Season” 4-12
All of our worst fears come true and not only is Kirk as bad as he played at times...
I like to hear the Skins get a little praise for a change myself BUT draft grades given before these guys even make a team mean less than nothing. Talk to me in a few years. Just for grins I looked up the Bleacher Report grades of the 2012 draft. We got a B+ and big praise for Josh Leribeus and...
Yeah, I think that's silly too. Most media guys aren't any more informed about the draft than any number of folks here (no offense to the fine draftnicks on the board). They base their opinion on other people's opinions, which can make you look like an ass sometimes. It's almost understandable...
I’ll have to be honest, when Williams fell to us at 5 I thought it was a slam dunk we’d pick him. I felt a little let down by Scherff since most of my focus had been on defensive players because of our position in the draft and the lack of the premiere LT prospect we see so often. We’d been told...
All 32 GMs (or their staff) are probably on the phones right now trying to find out as many details about this case as they can. This situation smells a little too much like Rae Carruth to me. Although La'el is not going to be found hiding in a trunk of any car that was made in the last 30...
*shudders* Ugggh. He was on ESPN as a draft expert last week. I could go on a rant here but...yeah, if he brought Vinny back in any capacity that would let me know he was either an idiot or that I'd have to start working out and eating right because if I wanted to see a good team in DC I'd have...
I think a QB trade is very likely. Mostly because I think that we'll draft a QB at some point in this draft and I can't see us going into the season with 4 QBs. Cousins doesn't have much trade value but McCoy has none, so Cousins has to be the most likely trade bait. No idea what his value might...
