On another note, I'm happy to see the Dolphins take yet another member of the Cowboy's organization. Safety Keith Davis, who was a team captain, has left the 'Pokes for the 'Phins. Fine by me.

[quote=Stuck in TX;431493]What about Jared Lorenzen? He looks goofy as hell, al 285 pounds of him behind center, but he is a #2 guy, or has been. Tim Hasselbeck I thought was pretty good here and he was still behind Lorenzen. Maybe not here, but I would love to see him starting somewhere. It would be very interesting to see how he plays.[/quote]

timmy posted a 0.0 vs dallas (4 ints < 50% completions). he won't be starting anywhere anytime soon. he definitely gets style points for being able to grab a wife way out of his league though.

[B]Raiders | Russell not the guaranteed starter[/B]
Tue, 11 Mar 2008 16:11:58 -0700

Don Banks, of Sports Illustrated, reports Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell may not be ready to takeover as the starting quarterback permanently, yet. There are rumors that Russell is close to 300 pounds.

[B]JaMarcus Russell[/B] | [URL="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=oak"][COLOR=#000000]Raiders[/COLOR][/URL]
Russell does not weigh 300 pounds and has been a regular at team headquarters for workouts since season's end, two team officials told the San Francisco Chronicle.

One front-office employee, speaking on condition of anonymity, dismissed Internet reports of an out-of-shape quarterback as "ridiculous."

The employee said: "JaMarcus is nowhere near that. He's been here. He's been working out. He's in great shape. That's something everyone's going to see at our first minicamp" in early May.

Hackett will visit the Panthers on Friday, according to The Charlotte Observer.

In a 2007 season hampered by injuries, Hackett caught 32 passes for 384 yards and three touchdowns. At 26, Hackett could be the No. 2 receiver the Panthers need to complement Steve Smith.

The newspaper also reported Hackett will visit the Redskins and Buccaneers.

[B]Hackett agrees to offer -- from Carolina[/B]

Free agent wide receiver D.J. Hackett won't be joining the Redskins. Hackett, who held a contract offer from the Redskins, reportedly agreed to a two-year, $3.5-million contract with the Carolina Panthers.
Washington's offer wasn't close to what Hackett received from the Panthers, a league source said, and now the Redskins are waiting for wide receiver Reche Caldwell to decide on their offer to him. Caldwell still is considering his options, agent Tony Fleming said.
-- Jason Reid


i thought we'd offer him more than 1mill per... i would have at least given 2 year 4mill, so they might have been a little too cheap. oh well.

Wow no where close to the Panthers deal we are getting stingy!!!

Hacket offered.............Veteran Minimum
 

[URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3298035"]ESPN - Panthers agree to two-year deal with WR Hackett - NFL[/URL]

Hackett spent last week visiting Washington -- he had a minimum salary offer from the Redskins -- Tampa Bay and Carolina, where he met with coach John Fox and general manager Marty Hurney and talked on the phone with Smith.
----------------------------------------------------
Wow, thats horrible. A veteran minimum offer is pathetic and right now it looks like Synder is caught in a pendgilum effect. At one point hes at the sign-sign-sign side and now hes at the extremly cheap Bill Bidwell side.

I mean I like the not overpaying everyone approach but come on Veteran Minimum? I suggested a 2 year $4 million offer which ironically was close to what he got from the panthers.
