Rumors for Lunch

by Rafael Vela on Feb 24, 2006 1:41 PM CST in Dallas Cowboys News

The Morning News' Todd Archer notes in the paper's sports blog that Bill Parcells lunched today with bad-boy agent Drew Rosenhaus. (Scroll down)

I know what you're thinking -- did they talk about T.O.?

That will certainly be the buzz. Archer correctly notes, however, that Rosenhaus represents a large group of pro and college players and that any or all of them could be the point of the meeting.

Combine Update: The 49ers won the coin flip with the Raiders. San Francisco now owns the 6th overall pick with Oakland selecting 7th. This increases the chances for a trade up, if Vandy QB Jay Cutler slip through the top five. Miami covets Culter and rumors in Miami have them targeting the Niners as a trade partner, since San Francisco wants extra picks.

Miami may fill its QB needs next month. Reports today say the Dolphins believe the Vikings may release QB Duante Culpepper early next month, to avoid paying him a large roster bonus. Miami could then pursue Culpepper and use its top selection on an offensive tackle.

Look for the 49ers to begin shopping their pick, to Miami and everybody else behind them in the draft order.

What if Winston Justice falls to 18? Its def possible, and thats why I only want to give Fabini or vet RT a 1-2 year deal. If Justice is there at 18 how could you pass him up? Hes probably ready to start right now, and def ready next year. That could be interesting on draft day.

Agents have lunch with producers and studio execs every chance they get in the entertainment industry. They’re like desperate drunk guys in a bar trying to buy a girl a drink so they can talk to them. Usually it starts out with the agent trying to sell the big guy on their clients, but more often it turns into the big boy picking the agent’s brain for information and gossip about what’s going on in the inside with others in the industry. My guess is Parcells is catching up on his homework and mining Rosenhaus for the scoop on things around the league. Rosenhaus will get to drum up more media speculation and publicity about his infamous client. His secretary probably sent the press release out before dessert.

Either way…I bet anything Rosenhaus picked up the tab.

No, Bill, no! Not T.O.! Please no! I survived the signing of Prime Time but I don’t think I could handle T.O.!

By the way…has training camp begun yet?

(Out of subject here) I’ve read threads about how we should go for QB Reggie McNeil (rating: 83.3 yds: 1963 td:16) … Why not Barrick Nealy from Texas St.(rating: 91.8 yds: 2875 td: 21) Infact, he played better when both teams met. If not for the dumb mistakes on speacial teams, we could of won… And it wasn’t suppose to be a close game. He also took his team to the semi finals, their 1st year in Division I-AA. (lost in overtime). Did I mention he’s very mobile? Something to think about…If you all want. ha
