Dunta Robinson-

Quote:

Franchise and transition tag values were released this week and for cornerbacks - meaning Dunta Robinson - the tag number is $9.96 million.This is right in the ballpark of what we figured based on tag amounts for past years.

Derrick Ward-

Quote:

Appearing on the Jim Rome Show Wednesday, free agent Derrick Ward mentioned the Browns, Texans, and Cardinals as potential landing spots. Ward offers rare three-down ability, fresh legs, and is coming off a season in which he averaged 5.6 YPC. He talked about playing with Steve Slaton and would be a clear upgrade over Jamal Lewis or Edgerrin James. All three clubs have enough cap room to meet Ward's $4M-per-year asking price.

I would like to see Derrick Ward in Houston.

Where you worried they would not sign/tag him?

[TheMatrix31]

Yeah, I thought they'd be scared off due to his health v. the money he commands.

Did Ward sayy anything about possibly returning to New York???

[Jon22]

The way he is talking he seems to be on his own.

Ugh, I liked what Ward had to offer but I got full faith Bradshaw can come in and be just as dynamic.

On an offnote, how do you like Austin man? I'm trying to move down there for school next year, either going to UT or commuting to TSU... Either way I can't wait, I've only been there once but it was an awesome cityy from what I could tell.

it would be a big loss if he doesnt resign with them. Bradshaw has the talent but im not to crazy about him because i dont think he can be consistent. Ward would be a perfect fit for the Texans or the Cards.
