Another Off-Season Drought Thread

[70Chip]

Not only is it the off-season but it is the off-off-season. The coaches take their vacations, etc. The combine will be coming soon, though and the drama over CBA extension should heat up in the next couple of weeks. I intend to watch the combine on NFL Network, make some notes, and post my earthshaking insights for all to read. This year I plan to keep the sound off so that the comments by Mayock et al don't prejudice me.

Can we say: Made for Court TV?

How about ESPN - ALL NFL Access?

They say Wayne will not be available, but I have not given up on him yet. I really dont think that the Colts can afford to franchise him with their others players they are paying. We will see. I am sure Danny boy is just sitting back waiting on weather they sign him or not.

They've talked themselves into a corner. If they dis Wayne now, there will be a media frenzy. I think they should think twice about letting James go, however. Without a solid running game, they might become the Philadelphia Eagles. Of course, they couldn't run the ball in the playoffs anyways, so maybe they figure they're not losing that much by going with a younger back. At any rate, it seems certain they will sign Wayne to a long term deal. The franchise tag is tricky because 1)you create bad blood with the player and his people, 2)you're right back in the same place next season, and 3)it creates a large cap hit.
