fuckin wit the offseason in 09

well, given that pioli from the pats has effectively taken over @ kansas city, it's sort of new england midwest, not surprised he wanted to bring in vrabel - not sure if any other NE staff went with pioli, probably a few. it's not like they're randomly dumping vrabel on whatever franchise made an offer.

flying dawkins to denver! :(

"Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers has formally asked to be traded or released by the Browns and isn't likely to change his mind, a source close to Rogers said. Browns coach Eric Mangini has been trying to call the disgruntled tackle, but it's not yet known if the two have talked. Chances are, it wouldn't do much good anyway. A Browns source said neither Rogers nor his representative has made any demands. Mangini did not immediately respond to a request to be interviewed. Rogers is miffed not just about being snubbed by Mangini on two occasions, but also by a directive he received from an unknown club official regarding the off-season weight pro- gram. Despite playing all last season ..."

"Chiefs Pro Bowl guard Brian Waters asked the organization Thursday to release or trade him this offseason, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Waters asked for his release two days after a brief meeting with new head coach Todd Haley and after being told by first-time general manager Scott Pioli that he had no interest in meeting with Waters, the source said. Waters, according to the source, was offended and shocked by what he perceived to be the arrogance of Haley and Pioli. Waters' meeting with Haley and follow-up phone conversations confirmed in the nine-year vet's mind that the negative reports about Haley he heard from Arizona Cardinals players while at the Pro Bowl ..."

i didn't even see this! :( :( :( end of an era!

The dude went to prison and served his time. Why not give the guy a second chance, especially if he dedicates himself to ASPCA stuff...

― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic),

oh hey i just wanted to say for the record i agree with your philosophy, i just don't see it happening.

also wtf eagles >:[

Do you guys think Roy Williams (S) will ever be a good player again?

The concept of "Roy Williams" is pretty much exactly what the Chargers need -- a hard-nosed, aggressive safety -- but the actual Roy Williams has been pretty shitty.

Even when Parcells was in Dallas they would often pull Roy Williams sometimes in passing situations. The guy could hit and he was a star player (for a safety) in college who ended up on the Cowboys, but I'm not sure he really was ever that great.

Haynesworth is definitely good, but that is a whole lot of cash tied up in a DT. The dude has missed some games, he hasn't played a full season since he was a rookie, of course some of those missed games were for stompin' on a dudes head.

Cripes. Shaun Rogers wants out and Winslow's gone.

brownie please say something to get me at all excited about the browns!!

i still don't get how the redskins manage to sign all these guys. $41 million guaranteed is a fucking ton of money.

They must have had a bunch of contracts walk off the books or something. Bruce Smith and Deon were probably still on the books up until last year.

busy weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

The New York Jets have traded a 2009 fifth-round pick and a 2010 conditional draft pick to the Philadelphia eagles for CB Lito Sheppard.

The Washington Redskins have signed former Buffalo Bills OL Derrick Dockery to a five-year deal worth $26 million.

The Washington Redskins have informed veteran CB Shawn Springs that he will be released from the final year of his contract. "They did what's best for the team, and I'm happy for them," Springs said. "I'm going to miss my friends there, but as long as it makes the team better, I understand. I'm a true fan of the sport." The Redskins will save $6 million in cap space by letting him go.

The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed LB Takeo Spikes to a two-year deal.

The Minnesota Vikings have re-signed TE Jim Kleinsasser to a two-year deal.

The Minnesota Vikings have waived QB Gus Frerotte, who was their starting quarterback for 11 games last season. The move was expected after the addition of QB Sage Rosenfels.

The St. Louis Rams have agreed to a contract with free agent OL Jason Brown.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have re-signed CB Scott Starks to a two-year $2.6m deal.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed former Philadelphia Eagles DB Sean Considine to a two-year $3m deal.

S Brian Dawkins has just agreed to a deal with the Denver Broncos, according to a league source. A press conference is coming Saturday to introduce Dawkins, the source said. <-- john lynch part 2

The Denver Broncos have agreed to four-year contracts with running backs J.J. Arrington and Correll Buckhalter.

The Denver Broncos have continued adding to the roster by signing former Patriots wide receiver Jabar Gaffney to a four-year, $10 million deal that includes $3 million guaranteed. Former Miami safety Renaldo Hill signed a matching four-year, $10 million deal that includes $3 million guaranteed.

The Detroit Lions have reached agreement Friday with former Seahawks running back Maurice Morris on a three-year deal with $7 million. <-- good signing, underrated/underused lil player

The Tennessee Titans agreed Friday to re-sign QB Kerry Collins. According to a source, Collins was close to signing a two-year deal Friday afternoon. "Kerry did a great job for us last year stepping back into the starting role," GM Mike Reinfeldt said in a statement. "He has veteran leadership, tons of game experience and we expect him to continue to play at a high level for us."

The Cincinnati Bengals have re-signed safety Chris Crocker and running back DeDe Dorsey. Crocker's deal is four years at $10 million with $3.5 guaranteed. "For the whole second half of the season, he was a leader in the locker room as well as on the field," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said in a statement.

DB Eugene Wilson reached agreement on a three-year, $11.3 million deal to stay with the Houston Texans.

cassell traded to chiefs, terms unknown

matt cassell, that is

whoa

"They did what's best for the team, and I'm happy for them," Springs said. "I'm going to miss my friends there, but as long as it makes the team better, I understand. I'm a true fan of the sport."

this warms my cold heart

Do they have to pay him the franchise tag rate? That would be a little crazy.

Anyway, the Patriots continue to be brilliant imo.

miss u shawn springs
h8 u dan snyder
miss u matt cassel

Chiefs pick #3 in the draft..

patriots fans messageboard server is FAIL, damn

The Denver Broncos have agreed to four-year contracts with running backs J.J. Arrington and Correll Buckhalter.

Huh? Do they not have enough backup running backs?

Also, why are the Eagles getting rid of everyone?

i think this is a weak enough draft that it would be justified trading the third overall pick for cassell

also of course <3 the irony of him getting traded to the "team" that incidentally gave the opportunity to be a 'star'

iirc the broncs had 0 running backs last year - didn't they sign tatum bell off the street? btw i dont even remember who their starter was before he got hurt

They had like six guys each average over 4.5 ypc, including Bell. They had like twelve RBs on IR or something outrageous like that.

Pittman, 4.2 ypc
Hillis, 5.0 ypc
Young, 5.0 ypc
Bell, 5.7 ypc
Hall, 4.1 ypc
Pope, 7.6 ypc
Torain, 4.6 ypc

i forgot about selvin young, dude can ball

yeah the whole story is pretty great, funny the way things go. i guess zombie tom brady will be playing next season then.

clearly it was all a conspiracy!!! matt cassel had been scheming this for years w/some dudes in kansas city

flying dawkins to denver! :(

this made kk so ;_;

he was the eagles, man. it pains me even to think of him in another uniform.

can't claim to understand the rationale behind letting all of our safties go, i'll have to wait until this all plays out

yeah. i had to break the news to one of my coworkers yesterday afternoon, she is a hardcore iggles fan.. ;_; indeed

meanwhile, approx 75% of patriot nation is freaking the fuck out that NE didn't get enough for cassel + vrabel (they got KC's 2nd rounder which is afaik the #2 pick in that round)

yeah if im in their shoes i'd be a bit concerned too, considering cassell's got a v romo-like (the good part) career trajectory it looks like. but belichick always does great in the draft, so we'll see.

they couldn't hold on to both guys and no way they were getting rid of brady. AFAIK - at the end of the season cassel's contract was up, thus the franchise tag, otherwise he'd have been free to walk away & pats would've gotten nothing.. but once they used the tag they had to either trade him or tie up like $29 million at QB paying both cassel and brady.

I can't wait to see what Cassel does with the amazing Chiefs offense.

Denver trying to trade Cutler.. apparently were after Cassel but didn't get the deal worked out (of course McDaniels from NE is the coach @ Denver now)

ok apparently considered the trade, now cutler is pissed

Haha f that dude.

weird situation

michael boley signs w/giants, 5 years 25 mil ;____;

nice ive always liked boley and nyfg needed help at LB

Unless they play one of my teams I am totally rooting for the Kansas City Patriots next season

lol, cowboys sign keith brooking!!! LOL! this delights me as much as the boley signing disappoints me

an eagles fan weighs in:

horrible horrible day yesterday when i heard the news i almost :( but i was holding out hope that since espn didn't report it maybe it wasn't over...but yeah fuck jew banner and that ari fleischer faggot spadarro for even suggesting that dawk didn't have that good of a season. next time he comes into my work i'm gonna spit in his bald face

c'mon you wrote that dude

Yeah that sounds way cankles

In an interview with Derrick Gunn of Comcast SportsNet in Philly, an audibly emotional Dawkins had to end the segment after less than two minutes

http://csnphilly.com/pages/player?is_popup=1&feedID=698&vidID=6228&startclip=1&ol=1&r=132&af=3&dord=mr

aw. surprised that any nfl guy would allow themselves on tape getting that worked up. hope he has a hell of a year.

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-6-0/Why-would-Pats-turn-down-12th-pick-for-Cassel-.html

pats turned down 12th overall pick from Denver to send Cassel there/Cutler to Tampa Bay

wtf. don't know if BB wanted to send cassel to a team that was not going to be a threat anytime soon.. or didn't want to do a deal with mcdaniels.. or maybe was concerned the trade would fall through given that 3 teams were involved, thereby leaving NE with cassel and his $14 mil salary..

ya, every aspect of this is so insane that i basically refuse to believe any of it, starting with the idea that mcdaniels would earnestly want to swap cutler for cassel - cutler is SO much better than cassel at everything the position requires, that it's basically impossible for me to wrap my head around this. nevermind the idea of belichick turning down superior compensation for cassel. the whole thing just sounds like bs to me, i find it a lot easier to envision that some teams called denver about cutler, denver listened and declined, and that turned into 'CUTLER ON THE TRADING BLOCK'
