Here's a trade I just thought of that I think makes sense. Browns trade number 5 and Braylon to the Lions for number 1 overall. Browns draft Curry who they desperately need. Lions get another playmaker at WR and can probably still get Stafford or a tackle or that DT from BC.

Apparently the Lions were trying to swing a trade to the Patriots for Matt Cassel and then they were going to turn around and trade Cassel to the Broncos for Cutler.

The Giants signed (or are about to sign) DT Rocky Bernard (Seattle). I like the signing since both Cofield and Robbins seemed to run out of gas at the end of the season. Bernard, Cofield and Robbins rotating in and out (while also getting Alford in there to help him develop) should keep the Giants defensive line fresh through the entire season.
The Giants also signed LB Michael Boley (Atlanta). Apparently they plan to play him on the weakside. I like this signing, too, since I thought the outside LBs for the Giants was where they were the weakest last season. Not the biggest names out there (Seems like Hoosyourmamma is going to visit the G-Men soon, but I doubt they have the money to make a try at him) but the Giants don't really need many pieces and they really needed some depth at LB and DT. |

Has Cutler fallen out of favor or did McDaniel just want one of his guys there? Sounds like it would have been a pretty risky move from the Broncos' point of view. |

It is getting stupid how we have the same conversations going on in multiple threads.
Merger time. Especially if you're me and like looking back at old threads 3 or 4 years later. And it's about time for that 5 years later draft thread. That's always one of my faves. |

I think both the Boley and Bernard are really good ones for the Giants. They may not be stars, but they add to an an already really good defense.

Didn't see in here yet-
Lito Sheppard to the Jets for a 5th and conditional. NFL Network said something about him falling to 5th on the depth chart. Has he fallen THAT far? I get Samuel and Brown. But Joselio Hanson and whoever else is on the roster?

A popular player leaving to sign with another team is disappointing. Examples include: Taylor-Jaguars-Patriots, Harrison-Colts-unsigned, Brooks-Tampa Bay-unsigned, and a few others. These 3 though were the most popular with the team, and figured to retire with their original team. As the saying goes in the NFL(not-for-long), and it's a business. When one goes, another younger player comes along to replace him in the popularity department. |

Sounds like the Coast Guard is searching for a missing boat that had 3 NFL players on it. They went out fishing yesterday, but didn't come back last night.

Kurt Warner is apparently visiting the 49ers now.
It would be pretty hard to believe that he'd leave the Cards. |

Giants sign Canty from the Cowboys. Bunch of defensive moves for the GMen over the past couple days, I guess this means TJ Whosyourmamma isn't in their plans, although, I have no clue what their cap space is looking like.

Canty got PAID for a guy who never impressed me all that much as a Cowboy. I guess he's switching to DT.

Surprised the Giants kept after Canty after signing Bernard. So far, they said they will use Canty a lot like how they've used Tuck in the past by moving him around the line (he'll play both DT and DE). The Giants will probably have to cut one of their DL players after signing Canty and Bernard, though. And I've read that the Giants aren't really going after TJ, neither are the Eagles, neither are a lot of teams. |

I like what the Giants are doing, adding depth to an already solid defense, but WR is clearly a problem. Reese has done a phenomenal job in the draft, but I can't imagine he plans on addressing the WR issue through the draft. I'm in the "bring back Plax" boat, so maybe thats what they have planned. TJ would be a nice addition, but probably not for the $$$ he's gonna get. As far as I know, as of now they have Smith, Manningham, Moss, and Tyree, not exactly the core of receivers I would feel comfortable starting the season with, although I do like them all and they have potential. Who knows, maybe they are working on a trade (Boldin, I know, wishful thinking, although I have heard rumors of Braylon Edwards). Should be interesting to see, because Reese likes to build through the draft, so I don't see them making a big trade.

I have Manningham (and James Hardy) on my keeper team stashed away in my "rookie reserve area" (some interesting rules in my league). So I am hoping like no other that Manningham gets a chance to play this year.

And he would be crazy to leave a team that has as good of a pair of wideouts in the league for a team that pretty much has nobody to throw too. Random thought that just came to me that I doubt I would actually pull is what if the Lions actually had the money to bring in Harrison. He becomes a #2 guy and can help mentor Johnson. Even if he's just there for a couple of years, he helps fill a role for now and can give the Lions time to develop other people. Of course, there's no way in hell Harrison would want to go there... |

Come on, we just gave Brandon Jones $16.5 million over 5 years! While the guaranteed money is fairly low (I think $4.5MM), I still didn't understand the move. There is actually some talent at the position in Jason Hill and Josh Morgan who just need time to develop, along with a QB who has time to get them the ball. |

If you go in to the season with Smith, Manningham, Moss, and Tyree as your WRs, you will not be throwing the ball well. Maybe they're banking on getting Britt in the 1st or 2nd and him being the savior.

Peter King is reporting that the reason Cassel went to the Chiefs for a high second was that the 3-way deal never surfaced until after that trade was agreed to. Basically no one was knocking on Bill's door, so he took the best deal he had early to clear the cap room. If Denver had been talking to him on Thursday, Cassel might well be a Bronco, and Cutler a Buc right now.

More bad Broncos news. Now not only do they have to deal with their unhappy quarterback, but Brandon Marshall was arrested again for disorderly conduct. It his 4th arrest and the Denver posts says a suspension up to a year and SI's peter king says he expects 8 games.

lots of chatter about the Cassel deal on sports radio here today, with all kinds of crazy theories floated about (from BB was afraid of what McDaniels and Cassel could do with the Broncoes to BB prefers 2nd rounders to 1st rounders to, my personal fave, BB is planning to follow Pioli to KC when his contract is up and is sending some of his players there in advance). The Peter King thing makes the most sense...

I did hear that he told the rescue people that the other three guys did have life vests on, but if hypothermia was an issue, they probably would be in big trouble even with life vests on. I saw video of the surviving guy on TV. He was hurting. They had to help him from the basket on the chopper to the gurney. Looked exhausted.

Houshmandzadeh to Seattle for 5 years and $40 million (around $15 million guaranteed). Haven't seen a yearly breakdown yet, but apparently this beat Cincy's deal (5/35) and wasn't quite what I had read he was asking for (4/40). Not sure if I'm excited about this one though. Haven't seen much of him live, but looking at his numbers it looks like the last 2 years were a drop off from his first 5, so hopefully we can get at least 2-3 years of him at his current level before another drop off.
And hopefully they still nab Crabtree if he's there at #4.

Looks like they overpaid considering he is 32, but he is a good receiver.
Hopefully this means they pass on Crabtree with #4 and then he has a decent shot to be there for the Raiders at #7 |

Don't be shocked if Crabtree goes #3 to KC.
It's looking very possible Curry goes #1 to Detroit, then Jason Smith goes #2 to STL. KC does not need a QB now, and KC took a LT last year. Crabtree makes the most sense to run the offense Haley probably wants to run. Plus, if you're going to invest all that money in Cassel, you better put weapons around him. |

That was a Raiders blogger who suggested the Raiders could take Harvin. he doesn't appear to have any inside info. At least I hope not as I would not be happy with that pick. I like Maclin and DHB fine, and wouldn't be too upset about picking either of those. It is a bit early for DHB though and would prefer the Raiders trade back if that is who they want. Unfortunately that's something they never do. Last edited by Danny : 03-02-2009 at 06:04 PM. |
