Falcons | Still negotiating with the Jets about Abraham Sun, 19 Mar 2006 07:22:42 -0800 Randy Lange, of the Bergen Record, reports the New York Jets are still trying to work out a trade with the Atlanta Falcons involving Jets' franchise free agent DE John Abraham. The Jets want Atlanta's first-round pick, 15th overall, to let Abraham join the Falcons. The Falcons initially offered their second-rounder (No. 47). In an attempt to break the impasse, a source said, Atlanta general manager Rich McKay offered to include a player with the second-rounder. The identity of the player isn't known, but the Falcons have discussed trading RB T.J. Duckett. But the Jets, according to the NFL source, said no to the two-plus-a-player.

Re: Official NFL Free Agent Signings Thread
News has leaked out in Minnesota that the Vikings will be wearing purple pants to go with their purple home jerseys in some games this season. No truth to the rumor that the "Barney the dinosaur" theme song will accompany the team's pregame introductions.
someone asked about it, there's your info... purple pants, oOOOOOO. |

Falcons | Abraham intent on playing in Atlanta
Sun, 19 Mar 2006 19:34:46 -0800 Steve Wyche, of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports New York Jets franchise free agent DE John Abraham is intent on playing for the Atlanta Falcons, his agent, Tony Agnone, confirmed Sunday, March 19. The contract agreement he reached Friday, March 17, with Atlanta and his word are his bond. The Jets have thwarted Abraham's relocation by treating the Falcons' trade offer of a second-round draft pick as insufficient. Instead, the Jets have agreed to trade him to the Seattle Seahawks for a first-round draft choice, and that decision has left Abraham "not happy," according to Agnone. In a brief e-mail to the Journal-Constitution, Agnone said there had been no developments in the saga over the weekend. Though things were quiet over the weekend, the Falcons confirmed talks are expected to resume as soon as Monday, March 20. Vikings | Carter says Vikings made a mistake trading Culpepper Sun, 19 Mar 2006 20:56:40 -0800 Harvey Fialkov, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports former Minnesota Vikings WR Cris Carter, now an analyst on HBO's Inside the NFL, believes the Vikings made a drastic mistake in trading QB Daunte Culpepper while he is in his prime. "You don't trade franchise quarterbacks," Carter said during an interview on Sirius NFL radio. "The reason we have jobs is because guys in executive positions make decisions on quarterbacks. Because every week, what do we talk about on Monday?" Dolphins | Allen signing will probably end Law interest |

Seahawks | Jones reworks contract
Mon, 20 Mar 2006 11:51:41 -0800 Mike Sando, of the Tacoma News Tribune, reports Seattle Seahawks OLT Walter Jones has reworked his contract with the team so his average per year drops below the $7 million average OLG Steve Hutchinson's offer sheet with the Minnesota Vikings averages. It is believed Jones added another year to his contract with a base salary of $1 million. The extra year will void in the end, but it drops his yearly contract average. The team converted his 2006 roster bonus of $2 million into a signing bonus. looks like the hawks have learned some tricks of their own |

NFL | Rice not interested in becoming NFL commissioner; at least for now
Mon, 20 Mar 2006 14:25:59 -0800 The Associated Press reports secretary of state Condoleezza Rice is not applying for the newly opened post of NFL commissioner - not now, anyhow, her spokesman said carefully Monday, March 20. Rice is enjoying being secretary of state "at the moment," spokesman Sean McCormack said. The wiggle-room in his response after NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue announced he would retire resonated off frequent only half-joking statements by Rice that as a lifelong football fan she aspires to run the league one day. New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft seems to be in Rice's corner for the football post. and he probably turned down because A) Her current job is considered more important, and B) she wouldn't have gotten the job. |

Vikings | Team offers contract to Richardson
Mon, 20 Mar 2006 18:06:05 -0800 Vikings.com reports free agent FB Tony Richardson (Chiefs) said he has a contract offer on the table from the Minnesota Vikings. "One thing I asked was to be able to go home and absorb everything. I'm going to do that through prayer and talking to my family, you now making a decision like this is obviously a big decision, but they are giving me the opportunity to sleep on it and let them know sometime tomorrow," said Richardson. He said he has interest from other teams, but he has not made any other visits. |
