I was just reading about Moss on wiki to remember the timelines of how things went down in 2010 - I wonder if there's another professional athlete who has a 3 paragraph sub-heading entitled, "Lack of effort".

Jackson is a good player, great at times, but not in the top 5. I'd probably take Megatron, Wes Welker, Larry Fitzgerald, Roddy White, Brandon Marshall, Mike Wallace, Dwayne Bowe, Greg Jennings and Andre Johnson all over VJ and maybe even a guy like Steve Smith (still) or an up-and-comer like Hakeem Nicks. Still, even in the top 15, he's a helluva talent. I don't understand San Diego letting him walk. Malcolm Floyd hasn't shown anything more than being a reliable #2/#3 guy, Gates is clearly slowing down and Vincent Brown showed promise but nothing that suggests he's ready for the #1 WR role. I wonder if SD is gearing up to make Mike Wallace an offer since he'll be an RFA and it's likely the Steelers won't have the cap space to make him a long-term offer until after the draft. The Chargers would give up the 18th pick, but that may be fine to get a guy like Wallace. |

Without a doubt he will. The last time we saw TO, he could still play even if he's a cancer. I could have seen a team taking a flier on TO because the guy always came to play and was always in great shape. Moss is a cancer whose game has clearly diminished and didn't always come to play. Hence I don't see anyone being interested in Randy Moss, now or in the future. Last edited by Blackadar : 02-13-2012 at 01:48 PM. |

I think he's better than some of the guys you mentioned: Marshall & Bowe, both are too soft, White is getting old and Jennings is real good, but, not better than VJ in my opinion. VJ is a beast, plain and simple. I like Malcom Floyd, but, at times is frustrating and gets hurt. Nice big hands though. I couldn't figure Brown out, he's got talent, but, it could also be a Norv Turner thing like they did with Kasim Osgood. I was hoping Crayton would have a career revival in San Diego, but, that didn't happen. To answer your question as to why the Chargers will let him walk...AJ Smith's ego. He'd rather prove that he thinks he's right than what's right for the team. As for Wallace, I would be shocked if the Chargers went after him. Again, this all on AJ Smith. He refuses to play the free agent market other than to fill backup slots. All that being said, unless a team is just stock full of wide receivers or not have the cap room, they would be stupid not to make play for VJ.

Randy Moss does not make this announcement unless someone has at least offered a shot at offseason workouts, right?

it's a feeble attempt by his agent to drum up interest. it's a deep wr draft (allegedly) so i'd put his chances of playing again at next to nil. the only team i could fathom giving him a sniff would be the ravens.

49ers? They need some help in that department. Not sure if Harbaugh would put up with Moss' tendency to quit during a game though.

I don't remember hearing much about this during the lockout but this could be huge, was this "snuck in"?

It is fairly complicated, but this is tied to the "cap floor". In the first years of the deal, the teams in the NFL had to spend at least 99% of the cap, and there is no cap floor in 2011 and 2012. To allow teams to rollover theoretically increases the total amount that makes it to the players, and helps them hit the 99% over two years, thus reducing any amounts below the 99% they would have to distribute back to the players.

This offseason will be a big test for the Bengals. If MB wants to he can set the team up for three or more years of contention. They have one of the youngest teams in the league and they can sign as many of their FAs as they want as none of them will be a big money guy. They'll have probably ten picks in the draft with three of the first fifty-three, and their holes are in places where the draft is deep.
All MB has to do is drop some money on a couple of FAs and the Bengals will look good for a few years. We'll see this year how much influence Marvin really has.

Ay, there's the rub. It sure seemed that Marvin had much more influence last year with the free agent signings, the decision to draft Dalton rather than Mallet, and the Ocho Cinco and Palmer trades. If MB is really giving Marvin more authority there's reason for hope. We'll find out in the next two months.

Curious how other teams/fans see Mike Wallace.
He was great the first 8 games of the year...and very average the 2nd. There is some faction of Steelers fan who believe Antonio Brown is the better WR...and he's an RFA next season. Steelers are saying they are not likely to franchise Wallace, which would cost $9M. Pittsburgh already about $12M over the cap-- though that money is easily identifiable: cutting Ward, Aaron Smith, one of James Farrior/Larry Foote, and Chris Kemoeatu. Only placing the a 1st round tender on Wallace makes him a prime target for someone like the Patriots, who have 2 1sts this year. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt.../s_783071.html Quote:

I like Wallace and they are playing with fire by letting him go. I suppose they could take the pick and sign someone else if they could get someone in that 5-6M/Year range(Meachem?) People who think that Brown is better need a reality check. We may as well monitor the Moss situation as well.

I like Wallace, too, and besides, the Steelers need BOTH Wallace and Brown now, with Ward gone. The running game isn't as strong as it used to be, so you need targets for Big Ben.

Jaworski was great at first, but he has really begun to grate on my nerves lately. Mostly because he enunciates every single sentence....the exact same way...

Jaws is so much better as a studio analyst breaking down tape than he is as an analyst during games.
Gruden has absolutely got to go. Can't someone just offer him like $10 mil to be their coach. Please?

Maybe less time lifting, more time practicing covering guys and wrapping up on a tackle.

Jaws is great at breaking down playcalling on film. So yeah, hes better at that than color but Gruden?
Gruden is/has always been so damn PC during the broadcasts thats its laughable. Its as if he walks on eggshells and cant make a negative statement about a player or organization for fear that they might not consider hiring him in the future. His pregame interviews in the bus are just a stopwatch on when he will say "You know what , I LOVE ..........(fill in the blank for the interviewed player) and they are as generic as they come. I love the way Marshawn Lynch runs between the tackles. I love the way Tom Brady throws a spiral. I love the way Darell Revis plays the ball. It happens every single interview, then at least a few more times during the game itself. There should be a Jon "I love" Gruden drinking game.

RG3 measures in at well over 6'2. Probably just locked himself in to the top 4 unless he falls over in the 40 or can't complete a pass in his pro day

An act of god meaning making him 2 inches shorter than he really is like everyone seemed to expect?
But yeah, I agree with this. Interested to see who will give up the farm to get him at #2. Rams in a really nice spot |

I think the only way he doesn't is if the Rams decide that Matt Kahil is a once in a five to ten years tackle prospect (along the lines of a Jake Long). Then there is a chance he might slip to three. I haven't heard anyone say that about him though. But yeah, if I had to guess I'd say RG3 has a 90% to 95% chance of going #2 overall. Of course that is pure speculation on my part.
