What's interesting about all this is that with that addition and the Saints possibly adding Brees, who the hell is gonna draft who now? I have no idea how the draft is going to shake out. I think the Cards had better think O Line, otherwise signing James will have been worthless.

There have been reports that the Saints only offered a short term deal to Brees and planned on using him to groom their future QB. .. like Kurt Warner did with Eli.

No. He's not gone. He was transition tagged, that means that the Seahawks can match the offer. They just have to decide if they want to spend that much in the first year of the deal.

Except that if you franchise a guard they use the top tackle contracts to determine the salary. Obviously, the Seahawks didn't want to pay 2 of the top 5 salaries in the league on their O-line.

Rob Maaddi, of the Associated Press, reports free agent DE Darren Howard (Saints) visited the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday, March 12, and was to remain in Philadelphia overnight. Howard said he didn't have any other visits planned and hoped to work out a deal with the Eagles. "I like the situation. I like the team," Howard said. "It's a matter of getting a deal done."

Wow. That's a pretty high number for a guard. I mean, I like Hutch and wish we could have drafted him instead of Rod Gardner (Seattle picked right before us in '01). ESPN said that is the record for an offensive guard. I guess if you REALLY need him, that's one thing. But come on, $16 million bonus for a [I]guard[/I]?

Giants | McQuarters agrees to terms
Mon, 13 Mar 2006 15:27:52 -0800

John Clayton, of ESPN.com, reports free agent CB R.W. McQuarters (Lions) has agreed to three-year, $6 million deal with the New York Giants. The deal includes a $2 million signing bonus.

Eagles also sign howard to a 10.5 SB 30mill 6 year deal (kinda rich for an old guy).

Alright, the cards have crazy cap space next year (and with the new stadium, they might mimmick the browns in a buying spree). Bryant gets 3.75mill a year, which is a lot lesss $/yard than randle-el got, hopefully his attitude problems re-emerge so i have no regrets ;) The giants, in response to our WR corp, are sucking up CBs like no tomorrow. McQuarters would have been a decent signing for such a pittance. Adoyele is only getting 3.4mill a year and would have been a great add at that price, i'm sorry we didn't give him a look.


as for the skins, EVERYONE gets a 6/7 year 30mill contract like springs or moss got ;) we WAY overpaid for archuleta (5mill a year for a safety??) and might have overpaid for R'El (totally depends on production). lloyd and carter are good values at that price though, and should prove it soon.

OL (J Mitchell targetted)
LB (??? - #2 draft pick?)
CB #3 (still plenty available)
K
P (dirk johnson, or draftee)
QB #3 (collins)

those are whats left. OL is a definate need, if mitchell signs as our backup, than the #2 pick is basically reserved for an LB, with late picks on CB/OL and possibly a punter or value QB. Right now it looks like Hall will be back, though that could always change.

The Associated Press reports former Carolina Panthers cheerleader Victoria Renee Thomas avoided jail Monday, March 13, by pleading no contest to charges stemming from her role in a brawl sparked by accusations that she was having sex with another cheerleader in the bathroom of a bar. Under the deal with prosecutors, Thomas pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and unlawful display of a license. Also, she entered a pretrial intervention program for the one felony charge she faced, giving a false name to an officer. Thomas was ordered to participate in anger management counseling, perform 50 hours of community service and pay $400 restitution to a woman she punched, who had been waiting to use the bathroom at Banana Joe's in November.

Leo Roth, of the Democrat and Chronicle, reports Buffalo Bills WR Eric Moulds, who has been asked to take a substantial cut in pay, wants the team to release him from the final two years of his contract so he can sign with another team. "Let him go, it's only fair," Greg Johnson, Moulds' personal advisor, said today after talking with his client. "If they're not going to pay what we feel is fair-market value, he should be allowed to go somewhere where he could maybe get it." Moulds is scheduled to count $10.8 million against the salary cap and he's due to earn $7.1 million in cash (salary and bonus) for the upcoming season.

not that it matters now, still it a big name with contract issues, so...

also, no one wants to give givens 5$mill a year, he keeps bouncing around without any real interest. patten's bombing may have seriously wrecked his value.

Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports Seattle Seahawks transition free agent OG Steve Hutchinson has a provision in his contract which states he must be the highest paid offensive lineman on his team for the 2006 season or his entire $50 million contract becomes guaranteed, according to someone who has seen the offer sheet the Minnesota Vikings offered him. Seahawks OT Walter Jones averages $7.5 million a season and Hutchinson's contract will average $7 million a season. If the Seahawks decide to match the offer, they would have to figure out a way to squeeze his over $13 million salary figure into their cap and would guarantee the rest of his $50 million contract, which would make it the richest cash contract in NFL history by $15 million.

The Detroit Lions have signed free agent TE Dan Campbell (Cowboys) to a five-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.


alright, lions steal campbell from the roids, who also let KJ go. TO might be in dallas now that he's free. Givens DOES get big money, but i'm not sure he'll live up to it.

And now we know WHY the 49ers were so eager to get bryant. they trade lloyd, lose out of El and JJ and started to panic. they did get bryant for a fair price though. Looks like JJ wouldn't have come here. it was browns (his hometown), seattle or bust apparently.

walt harris visits the 9ers... in other news, who cares?
