Newsome: No trade offer worthy of serious consideration for Gaither

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on May 9, 2010 4:19 PM ET
PFT hears that Jared Gaither's latest foot/toe injury is minor but the Ravens are going to make sure, sending him in for a MRI on Monday and a specialist next week.

Many see the injury as a precursor to a trade or a sign of unhappiness after Gaither was moved to right tackle this week.

"He didn't tell me he was protesting or anything like that," Harbaugh said.

While trade talk continues to swirl, Ravens G.M. Ozzie Newsome says that there hasn't been a trade offer "worthy of serious consideration" for Gaither.

The Bills reportedly want Gaither badly, but Newsome apparently doesn't think they want him enough.

NFL Network's Steve Wyche reports that restricted free agent FS O.J. Atogwe will not sign his tender with the Rams, meaning he'll become an unrestricted free agent on June 1.

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

I don't believe not signing makes him a free agent. I believe it makes him the rams property at 110% of his last year salary. But I am not positive, I know JoeRedskin had posted it a while ago

it's not likely that they'll pay him 7m so they'll prob cut him

That makes sense.

RFA's that don't sign have a certaint period to either sign their tender or get traded before the deadline that is set by the league otherwise they won't play at all next season.

I was about to say. If you could just wait out a "RFA" tender you would see a huge stream of players available after June 1. It would essentially be a second free agency and ironically the one with the better prospects.

You meant malcontents, didn't you?

Speaking of malcontents, didn't the Warpath have someone named malcontent for a while?

Slow morning.

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

From the Redskins Mailbag:

Question: If the Redskins switch to a 3-4, will Rocky McIntosh move inside? If McIntosh stays outside, what will happen with Andre Carter?

-- Jesus C.

Gary: This was cleared up during mini-camp. In a 3-4, McIntosh would play inside linebacker next to London Fletcher. Carter, who continues to rehab from biceps surgery, would line up on the outside. It’s a change in role for Carter, but he is still expected to rush the passer. He was an outside linebacker in San Francisco when the 49ers used a 3-4 in 2005, so he has experience at linebacker. Even though he prefers defensive end, coaches are going to put him in position to maximize his unique athleticism and skill set.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question: Hey Gary, with Andre Carter and Jeremy Jarmon switching to linebackers (in a 3-4 alignment), and the Redskins drafting Perry Riley as well, it seems we are “ready for battle” with our linebackers. Who do you see panning out as our starters, though? Thanks!

-- Stephen B.

Gary: It’s a little early to anoint starters, but it’s probably safe to assume that Carter and Brian Orakpo would start at outside linebacker and Rocky McIntosh and London Fletcher would start on the inside in a 3-4. Once Jarmon is fully recovered from his knee ligament injury, he is expected to join Lorenzo Alexander and Chris Wilson in competing for playing time at outside linebacker. Riley joins H.B. Blades, Chris Draft and Robert Henson competing for playing time at inside linebacker.

Hey, I thought Jarmon would be a DE in the 3-4. Perhaps I'm completely wrong, but I thought he was similar in build to Philip Daniels. If he's another OLB trying to switch to standing up -- was this another wasted pick on someone who's going to have to struggle to be in the 3-4 system?

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

Jarmon was always around the 280 range. Besides, with that new conditioning program, it's probably much easier to lose weight that to gain weight, especially gaining "useful" weight(aka muscle).

To this point I was surprised to hear Carriker say he's looking to add 15 lbs (to get to 315).

I dunno then since weight training and the like is something I'm completely clueless on. Maybe his body has the frame to accomodate a few more pounds of muscle.

De's were told 320 is ideal

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

Then Ah should shut his damn mouth and play DE. He just needs to drop about 30lbs. Hopefully he has been working out. What if this fatass shows up to camp out of shape?

Merriman is apparently available. what do you guys think? just a thought but merriman and RaK coming off the edges is pretty scary.

He's got the speed to do it at 350. What do you mean AH should shut his mouth? He's being blasted for NOT saying anything.

Man you folks can be ig'nant sometimes!

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

your right. I was fired up last night, the dude hasn't said anything publicly. I just want him to show up and play. He is a beast, and I am a fan of him on the field, but off it for the highest paid guy on the team I would expect some kind of leadership out of him.

I still ask the question though, what if he has been telling the guys all along that he is trainging with his guys, but then shows up winded constantly and out of shape?

Then we put him at FS and have him running his ass off all over the field until he's in shape. lol.

I'm not concerned about him not being here but if he does show up out of shape and not true to his word then I'd sit his butt on the bench like Arrington had to until he wanted to get with the program or he could buy himself out.

Without the roids he's lost a lot of steps. We could probably get him for free SD mite cut him.

Edwin Williams has lost 20 pounds and is working hard to compete for role, possibly starting center.

We would have 3 Williams starting on the line. :D

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

I think his chances of unseating Rabach would be very slim. He's going to be in a serious battle just to make the roster.

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

i love me some ed williams. and i think rabach sucks. but he did just get that extension

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

Rabach will be the starting center. I agree with Matty, Ed Williams isn't a lock to make the roster.

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

Can Ed Williams be put on the PS.

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

I thought I heard last that Ed Williams was a back up Guard? Although he can fill in at Center if Rabach goes down.

Hell, put all 3 Williams's on the OL then put Roydell Williams at WR. lol.

Same as Jason Taylor

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

Even though I've been ambivalent on AH and quick to point out that even at sub-optimal condition, he performed well, even I remember him being listed at around 320 lbs when checking his nfl.com page around the time he was signed or something like that. It's just a matter of wait and see when they measure him again this year and let me know if he collapses in training camp.

Re: 2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 8)
 

Yeah, and I was afraid the 'Skins would sign JR! Glad they didn't!
