NFL Offseason Rumours and Updates

Yeh bro, fat albert is getting less fat.

Are you sure he hasn't dropped weight because Rex Grossman has been eating all the pies?

A team can never have enough running backs. Look at the Packers last year.

Broncos the year before went through 7 or 8 rb's

Oh my god.

And to think John Beck or him will be starting QB.

Yeh. Including Laurence Maroney hehe

 

[Big Mick]

LMAO and people were saying how is he only going to be earning $1.1m.

Because they gave him a third party sponsorship to McDonalds.

 

[Eddie Lab]

Because Best has an extensive injury history (was injured last season) and is more of a lighter third down back, LeShore is a bruiser

I'd say this might be the reason;

Rookie Leshoure done for 2011: The first major camp injury that will affect fantasy football occurred on Monday morning, as Mikel Leshoure suffered a season-ending Achilles ailment.

Gold. This has been the best off-season I can remember in a long time. I laughed so hard not because I think he'll be anything more then the #4 receiver but because of how many pissed off Giants fans this would have created.

I'm so excited, we now have Eli Manning’s two favorite receivers: Steve Smith and Asante Samuel.:crazy:

 

[abpanther]

I suspect Smith still has inury issues and won't be 100% healthy for a little while yet.

The Rams signed LB Ben Leber

Week 4 of the season is the talk. Although I just read Eagles Doctors think he'll be ready for the opener. It looks like he's cover for Maclin who has been ill for a while, rumours on the reason of his illness have ranged from Mono to cancer but he did practice this week.

except that one play in the superbowl where asante dropped a sitter. goes right through his hands.

that was the pass before the helmet catch i believe.

I'm getting headaches now.

The Eagles don't have a salary cap.

I shut that game out of my memory. In recent years he's been feeding Asante some lovely passes.

This is the joy of not being lumbered with McNabbs (along with other veterans) contract.

BTW. Current cap figures include Vick's Franchise Tag $$ so if they can restructure him it will actually free up more room. Which I hope will be used to pay Desean and lock him up for another 5 years.

 

[Raider_69]

I have no doubt that the eagles will get vick long term and then with the space freed up, upgrade DJax
the question will be whether the money we offer is going to be what Djax thinks he deserves. He's still somewhat limited to a deep threat and home run hitter, he's not really a possession guy, and he's not really a guy thats going over the middle and taking it in traffic like the real elite players at his position

the eagles know this and they also know he is one knee injury away from losing a step or two of pace and from there, he comes back to the field abit in terms of his standing in the game... add to that people are coming here for less than market value, so we wont want to over pay for him.

Also Maclin was selected as a 1st rounder with the expectation he could develop into a true #1 reciever, which i think he can and will.

So the Djax deal is going to be a difficult one to get through.
If we cant get it going though, we can franchise him next year (once vick is off the tag) and then trade him in the off season for a replacement

So who's deathriding the eagles with me this season?

Yeh I will.

Vick is overrated and they have a tough division.
