Youth Dominates Weekend One of Free Agency

can you say 8 8 year and bill is gone back to nj

Kerrycowboy

What make you think the team is stagnating? What player has Dallas lost that could have made a big difference so far? Bentley? There was never a report confirming Dallas was interested in him and his actions show there was never any team for him but the Browns.

Who else should Dallas have on board already from the free agent pool?

Raf…

Vinatieri.

a kicker that is what killed us last year because of bills pride

Rafael:

Not sure if the rumors about Lavar Arrington going to the Giants are are true, but maybe he might have been someone we may have been interested in signing, at least to keep him away from possibly upgrading a team that humiliated us with their defense late in the season.

now you will have to pay big money for adam can you notsee that 12-4 or 9-7 that was it we lost games and cofidence after those games lost

raf why not a comment back

our team is just too young and impressionable to pick up someone with a bad attitude. We don’t need a team with chips on every shoulder. These guys will look up to guys like TO and Lavar A. especially if they’re that good which supposedly is the reason we are interested.
The old double edged sword thing-He’s great so we are willing to overlook his problems, then the young guys say WOW! I want to be like this guy. It bites us in th @$$.

Kerrycowboy:

Raf never responds to me either but, hell, I picked the Seahawks going away in the Super Bowl, so why respond to me? Raf sure has a nice fans page though, doesn’t he?

It really is crazy the money that is being doled out this past weekend. Raf is right, some average players are getting All Pro money. I mean is Randall El now one of the top WRs in the league? It’s insane. What a difference making having that CBA in place, because if that wouldn’t have passed both the cap strapped teams and the free agents (and their agents) would all be crying the blues. It’s really just a case of inflation.

Kerry:
Get a grip, Dallas doesn’t has anything to do with the lack of signings, as far as I know, Longwell was scheduled to visit the Ranch yesterday, but he cancelled the visit to go and sign with the Vikes. He prefered the Vikes over us and they had much more cap room than us, not much else to say.

Bryant may have wanted to be resigned by the Bucs, so he jumped at the chance as soon as he saw it.

Nedney, too.

That dried the market, so stop being childish.

Here we go!!!!! The doom and gloom crowd starting already, second day of free agency and we have our first prediction of 8-8. Come on, relax guys. We over spent last year on thirtysomething year old players and didn’t get what we payed in return. I wished we’d have a kicker under contract, but I’m glad we’re not throwiing money around like it grows on trees, that doesn’t work. We need youth on the O-line, we cant keep adding older players as stop gaps and then worry about it when their contracts are up, its a revolving door. I thought that we would sign alot of second tier younger players to replace the older vets, thats the way to go, what we dont get in free agency, we’ll pick up in the draft.I’m looking for solid young players and not the headline guys like McGinnest who at 34 is at the point in his career of diminishing return for the money he would want. thats why I want the Ashworth, Hope,Ayodele,hannams of free agency, I think Bill has done his homework and knows what he wants. Everyone complains when he signed all his ex-players for the first two years of his tenure and not young players and now you complain when he signs young players and not the aging thirtysomething ex-players he drafted. Who cares what the Skins do, they’ve been a recipe for disaster for years, money doesn’t buy them anything. Our team is definitely heading in the right direction.

jj said he wants to be good so he dont need to win by field goals ok you guys think to willmake that much difference with what we have done then go get him you tell want team the league didnot win games by field goals last year

huh

If defense wins championships!! ….

Bradie James
Terrance Newman
Roy Williams
Marcus Spears
Demarcus Ware
Cris Canty
Kevin Burnett

7 starters … all Dallas Cowboys draft picks!!

What I am saying is … this defense is being built through the draft!!

On the other hand does this years free agency market have a “sleeper” that could help fill in a puzzle piece? Parcells was fortunate to have a shot at a player like Henry last season. This year’s market may allow Parcells to jump on another potential “missing piece”. I know I have received hell over promoting signing Charles Woodson, but I now raise a question for anyone to answer:

When the Redskins line up Lloyd, Moss, and Randel-El, would you rather see our secondary with Newman, Henry, Williams, Glenn and Hope? or Woodson?

When you loook back at the Giants games, it was Newman shutting down Shockey in single coverage. Defensive backs with speed and cover skills give any defense more flexability. Newman blitzed, shadowed receivers, and played zone … adding another player that can do all those things well will improve this defense’s ability to adjust. Woodson is a perfect fit!! … I “hope” he is the big bang that the Ranch has been talking about.

chandus i am not be childish i know we need a proven kicker that is all one that will not choke when the game is on the line

EricR,
Woodson is going to want to play corner and not safety, he’s going to want corner money, he’s overrated and often injured, I dont hear any clammering for him in two days of free agency plus the fact the guy has an attitude probem.I’d go with Hope over Woodson. I’m telling you guys, teams are going to be very leary about signing and or drafting players that have character issues from now on. Jerry and the Cowboys should of learned that by now with the amount of draft picks we’ve wasted on players with character issues. I just dont get it when people say, well if he plays for the cowboys, a player would change as if the Star meant something or had some kind of power that keeps these players under raps, it doesn’t. A leppord never changes his stripes.

I agree with EricR, the only Woodson I’d want to see play safety for the Cowboys is Darren Woodson.

TO has a better shot at getting signed with us than Woodson, if Brian Williams gets 6 years 36 million why would Charles Woodson get paid anything less? And were going to bring him in to play FS? Thats crazy.

kerrycowboy,

Maybe Raf didn’t have a comment because he has a life outside of this and is away…who knows.

As for your outlook on the Cowboys and how terribly they’re doing by not getting a kicker. Think about this. If you were Vinatieri, would you sign with anyone on the first day knowing you’re perhaps the best clutch kicker in the game? I wouldn’t. I’d let the other kickers get signed to increase my value even more. Maybe the Cowboys have talked with his agent and know a little more than we do about his willingness to sign with anyone. Could that be a possibility?

Cheers to EricR, Derrick, and Chandus. This is all going fine, and everyone knows that Viniater’s agent isn’t going to let him sign until he sees what JJ is holding. The larger point (in which I’m echoing some of these other guys) is that we have to think down the road when all of our defensive studs + Witten will be coming up for new contracts. Keep building through the draft and letting the players we have—Peterman, Reeves, Burnett, Beruiat, Ratliff, etc.—develop. The Patriots, during their runs, didnt chase the high profile guys. They signed role players or underrated guys—which is what A Henry was and I assume K Kosier is. Cheer up.

KerryCowboy… What the hell did u just say? Eric R… Not Charles Woodson to the Cowboys again !!! He’s a bum!!!

kerry has been Drinking i think

Anyone see the news on Safety McCree?

The News

The Chargers filled the hard-hitting void left in their secondary when Rodney Harrison left, signing safety Marlon McCree to a five-year, $16 million deal. The former Panther will receive $6 million in bonuses and guaranteed money over the first two years of the deal, according to the Associated Press.

KerryCowboy,

I have three sons who needed dinner. Excuse me for having a life.

Okay, so you want Vinatieri. So do I. But there are six teams who need kickers and only four vets with a good track record. Vinatieri is the best.

I’m sure Minnesota, Tampa, Dallas, Indy, New England and Atlanta all wanted his signature at 11:02 Friday night.

But why would he sign? Now, Minnesota’s out. So is Tampa. If Dallas loses Vinatieri to them, then I’m upset. But he hasn’t signed with anybody. In fact, I haven’t found a single shred of news on him, and I’ve been looking hard.

Still, if he goes back to New England are you saying the franchise is sunk?! Honestly?! Before the draft. Before any offseason trades might be swung?

Like I said a while back, if you want to argue that Woodson was overpaid, then I have no choice but to agree with you. Saying he is not good or Chris Hope is better than him is silly. .. OK fine he may want a lot of $$$$ and he may want to play corner (although he did say that he would play free safety if it helped the team). Those are legitamate arguements, which I’ll counter with; we can not guess what Woodson wants or thinks, but to attempt to lure him in by selling to him that our team is going to have a few opportunities in the coming years to win it all. I could argue that he has shown a willingness to play safety, and he may prioritize winning over money. .. My point is he is the best FA option out there!!

you going to draft a kicker ha ha good luck. I have a life too sorry just looking for some answers. if we dont make field goal in giants game we are 8 8 last year.

mike i dont drink just dont spell to well are type very good

mike what i meant to say early was that jerry jones said he wants to be good that he dont want to win by field goal. and you tellme a team last year that didnt have to win some games by field goals. and that t.o. would not be the answer to that

Derrick
post #17 you said a leopard never changes its stripes it should be a leopard never changes its spots. Leopards don’t have stripes they have spots. Just thought i would clear that up.

lilbeast,

oops, by bad. Thats what happens when you got two kids running around, a wife and had a few drinks of rum.

anyone see what Hutchinson just signed for?? An average of $7.1 million a year. $49 mil total. Wow! That should knock minnesota outt of most of the FA market.

Hope would be a great addition to the FS position. Maybe we are just waiting for the price to come down. Some of the big spenders have to start thinking about how much powder they have left in their guns. We have plenty, even though i think we over spent for that offensive guard. BP must see someting in him

Rafael
you said what player has Dallas lost that would have made a big difference in post #2.Well i’ll give you some names. FS Chaveous, DT Kemoeatu, OLB Leber
Who should Dallas have on board from FA already? OLB Ayodele, OLB Fujita, T Ashworth, FS Hope, FS Coleman, K Vinatieri
And we should at least have brought in and looked at these players by now T McDougle, T McIntosh, G Neal, DT Adams, DT Jackson, OLB Peterson, MLB Claiborne, MLB Kassel, FS Schulters, FS Jackson, FS Bashir, CB Plummer, CB/KR/PR/FS McQuarters
You may disagree but let me know out of all of these which ones you agree with.

raf thanks for the blog but if we cant say what we are thinking then why have one thanks again

Another signing for the Pigskins TE Christian Fauria. They must have their own CBA when it comes to using the Salary Cap. I almost wish a CBA wasn’t signed just to see the hell that the Pigskins would have been in.

The Cowboys must be waiting for a better press day for their signing annoucement(s). I hope for the Big-Bang(s) tomorrow. Goodnight.

lilbeast, you are so right. I think the Skins must haven’t gotten the memo that reads that ’06 is an uncapped year.

Maybe,the owboys are waiting for the demand to go up on certain players so they can get into a bidding war?

Hey Rafael i will repost this for you

Anyone heard anything on Ayodele? Did he get to big D? Any word on if its looking like he’s gonna sign? I’ve wanted him or Peterson from the start.
Kerry,
    Anyone can say what they mean here. Dont take it personal. Ive seen guys insult each other for hours on this blog over PETE HUNTER!We’re all pretty serious fans here. If we were in a room together, we’d be yelling and cursing at each other and loving every minute of it. Dont take it personal.

well said and we are disgruntled.

Im anxious to see whats gonna happen too. But, but, minus OT and K, we dont even agree on what positions need to be filled in fa. If ypu think BP and JJ dont know there’s a problem there and dont have a plan to fix both, you’re nuts. Im glad we’re sitting out this craziness(although we did pay that gaurd a hundred million bucs to keep the gatorade tanks full and the towels clean). We’re gonna come on strong any time now. But we’re not gonna blow all our cash like the foreskins. We’ve got some big contracts to resign in a year. We havent started winning big YET, but this team has been turned around in the last few years. Have some faith that we’re building long term instead of giving all our money to some over-the hill, past-his prime has been.

That sAid, WHERE THE HECK IS ADAM V!!!!!!!

FORESKINS SUCK!!!

Everyone is acting like free agency is draft day or something. It is much more complicated than that, it is about negotiating and cutting deals and writing contracts. That’s one other thing, each NFL contract is different with different clauses, etc. It is hardly a boilerplate document where JJ or Stephen Jones just pulls a pad of contracts out of their desk like some document kit they bought at Staples. The teams that have been signing big name players so far have mostly been teams that are among the worst at making personnel decisions (Vikings, Browns, etc.) or are notorious big spenders (Redskins). Thus far no team really impresses me with the moves. I think Edgerrin James showed he cares more about money than winning the Super Bowl by going from the Colts to the Cards. He better get used to losing a lot more.

All these comments saying that there is not much difference between Fujita and Ayodele must be coming from people who have not watched either of them very much. There is a HUGE difference in the way each one plays the game. Can you remember Fujita (either with Chiefs or Cowboys) stepping up and laying a hit on a guy like Roy or Dat? He should be able to with his size, but let’s face it, he plays soft…his game is soft. Ayodele drops guys, and plays physical, smashmouth football. Last year the defense played well early in the year, they kept the play in front of them for the most part and made plays. After Dat and Singleton got hurt it seemed like it was arm tackles and lunging at guys’ ankles, and playing soft. It’s not all Fujita’s fault, but he was one of the major offenders of playing that way. Ayodele is a banger and an intimidator, and he is a lot quicker player too. I would call him a MAJOR upgrade, hardly close to being similar, having watched both play. Ayodele has also never been cut by a team, let alone one who had one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

Also, please stop worrying about the Redskins WR’s. The Redskins will only be as good as their QB and his protection is…and both are shaky, IMO. We also beat the Lions and Cards with great defensive play, and both teams have receivers at least as good or better than the Skins. If Snyder & Co. want to expend their FA money on multiple players at the same position I am all for it, I think they are crazy for wasting money on Randle-El though.

kerry,
I don’t think anybody telling you not to express your openion..its your challenging Ref which created some backlash from some folks… Few things NOT DO..
1. Don’t mess with IRS
2. Don’t setp on Superman’s Cape
3. Don’t be disrespect to Ref.
Anything else goes.. I am just as discouraged and disappointed as you are with the lack of movement form JJ. The thing is as you have seen the first day signing have been outrageous. We couldn’t compete with the Browns or Vikings and paid boat load of money to those good players.. Trust me, they will pay for it for years to come.. We have been there and have suffered for it.
There are over 70 good FA are still out there and we are in a great shape to take advantage of it. Be patient.

You think little snyder boy learned a valuable lesson going through the labor contract… where his team was so over the cap that he had to cut half of the team to just meet the cap. So what did he do? He turns around and spent more foolish money on 1st day of FA. skins will suffer for it for yeas to come.

Toast,
  PLEASE! Its Raf, for starters. And I think he’ll be the first to tell you to tell him,like you would anyone else here, what you think.If we got some new rule about kissing anyones’s butt I didnt get that memo.
Sterling,
You couldnt be more right on about our tackling last year. We need more Roy Williams and less…WEll I cant thimk of anyone, but yor stillright!

i guess raf is a ref…of sorts.

gotcha toast. :-)

btw, thanks for your words of reason, sterling. agree re: fujita: depth at best; maybe nickel – but we’ve got shanle for that, with way more upside. imo.

i’m enJOYing the wait, ’cause i know good things are gonna happen.

btw2, went to vinatieri’s website to drop him an e-mail and saw his superbowl cleats on sale for 14,999.99 samolians. he’s an industrious lad…

A lot of the guys that have been signed weren’t good fits for the ‘Boys, or weren’t coming to Dallas anyway.

And I second what Sterling said about Ayodele. He and Fujita play the OPPOSITE style of football. Ayodele played DE in college and it shows. He should fit perfectly into our defensive scheme, and he won’t look uncomforable like Fujita did. Every piece of a good defense is important, and Ayodele was a pretty darn good part of a very good and consisten defense. This guy is an entire universe above Fujita. Just because two players are similar in height, weight, or even statistics, it doesn’t necessarily make them comparable.

bige,
Okay Raf.. You English majesty.. When you learn the difference between respect and kissing B##t, you may speak. Otherwise keep you idiotic respond to yourself.
If you follow the thread.. you can see that folks didn’t much care for the way kerry challenge Raf.. and I was merely trying to get the point across… But if you didn’t get it, well I guess I am wasting my time.

Toast,
 Your right on about these teams and the insane contracts they have signed. Free agents are no gaurantee. The best way to build a team is through the draft. these guys will be cutting other good players(if not the same ones) very soon to fix stupid, avoidable cap problems.If it was that easy, everyone would blow all their money the first day of fa. How many strong teams do you see scrambling to pay some fa top dollar the first day? Its always the same guys year after year. They’re trying to find a shortcut to the superbowl. Hardly anyone ever pulls it off though.

every year we hear the same thing about the redskins going into cap hell and loosingall their players and every year they always sign big names….how come they’re still able to do that?

Toast,
   Thank you for your compliment on my master of English. PLease let me know when I’m allowed to speak again.By the way, does anyone have any info on Ayodele signing that toast will allow you to write about?(just kidding big guy)Please share.

bigE,
Didn’t care about your comment.. thats all. Other than that, you may speatk (just kidding bigE).

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ON AYODELE???!!!!!

cue the crickets chirping.

WOW Brees wants 10 mil a year, for a guy coming off a serious injury, thats still big time money. Plus the signing bonus is probably huge.

Wher’d you hear that? Its funny how much better Bress got once the bolts got good. He’s overrated.

LOL. Looks like the Eagles lost out on another guy they were rumored to have interest in.

Jamison Hensley, of the Baltimore Sun, reports the Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a four-year contract with free agent RB Mike Anderson (Broncos). The total worth of the deal is believed to be $8 million with a $2 million signing bonus. Anderson expects to take over for RB Jamal Lewis as the team’s starting running back.

Ya know… I was just pondering a couple things…This is the most cap money we have had since the cap existed. It may not be worth as much but it is significant.

Last time Jerry had this much money we won three straight Superbowls with guys like Chad Hennings. Good player no one knew about. The list kinda goes on there of guys who did well here that no one knew about.

My point is that I think Jerry knows what it takes to win and so does Bill. They wont leave us out hangin. That doesn’t mean we minions aren’t gonna whine. Bring me Adam Vinatieri at once Captian Bill and Admiral Jerry. Please

kffl.com reported that Brees walked out of NO and is visiting the Dolphins looking for 10 mil a year, with the Saints having the closest offer on the table.

Can you believe this? Where is snyder getting all this money from? Somebody should check their (fuzzy) math..
Redskins.com reports the Washington Redskins have signed free agent TE Christian Fauria (Patriots) to an undisclosed contract.

Breese, the way the throws, reminds me of Steve Walsh. Fine, until you need a real gun. Aikman had it, Walsh did not. How can Breese possibly be worth 10m a year? Without LT to take most of the attention Drew had better go to a team with a big time RB, like the EJ Cards.

lilbeast,

In order:

Kimoeatu and Chavous could help. Now, here’s the question on both:
 
can we find options as good in the draft? I think the answer is yes. In Kimo’s case, remember, Dallas gave a big contract to Jason Ferguson. They cut Glover because they didn’t want two big contracts at NT.

On Hope and Chavous. Chavous is gone. He’s got a lot of tread on his tires and has already moved to FS from CB, which suggests he’s well into his lose-your-speed curve. If he’s better than Bullocks, then he’s worth it. The Cowboys don’t think so.

Leber is only slightly better than Fujita. This is a OLB rich draft. Do you spend big money for a so-so player or try to get a better one for cheap? Ayodele may still be signed, but teams are not exactly killing themselves to sign him, are they?

What does it matter if Dallas signs him, say, Wednesday?

Neal went out the window when Kosier was signed.

As for Adams and Jackson, older and no better than Ferguson, see Kemoeatu above.

Schulters, Jackson and Brashir, see Bullocks above.

Claiborne is washed up, IMO. Peterson is too small for Parcells’ scheme. And he doesn’t exactly have teams beating his door down, does he?

In many ways, lilbeast, your question answers one you didn’t pose — who will Dallas draft? Their coll response to the OLBs, FSs and NTs, despite the team’s needs at all three, tells me they will likely draft people at these positions.

For good cause too, since OLB and FS are deep.

Finally, as for respect, what did I do? I told KerryCowboys what I thought. I never told him how to respond or not to respond.

I treat this as a bar. If people behave as they do at their favorite tavern, great. You can disagree, you can get angry, whatever. But if you throw a drink at the bartender or slur a patron, you’re gone.

Pretty simple, no?

Then, I want a beer. Mexican, if it’s possible.

Ok, I’ll go to my fridge…

Just read 2 interesting items on John Clayton’s ESPN Insider blog:

1) "Redskins hosting Abraham: The Redskins scheduled Jets defensive end John Abraham for a visit Sunday night after 49ers defensive end Andre Carter visited the facility but departed for a trip to Denver.

Abraham is a franchise player but the Jets are willing to trade him, and Abraham wants to be traded. What’s interesting is whether the Redskins have enough draft choices to try to appease the Jets. Their No. 1 is with the Broncos. They have only a second, a fifth, two sixths and a seventh. Washington traded its No. 3 to the 49ers for wide receiver Brandon Lloyd along with a No. 4 in 2007.

This is Abraham’s first visit. He’s talking to four other teams, including the Seahawks and the Broncos."

I’m with y’all – how is this possible? Is no one officially questioning their books?

2) “Antwaan With Randle El, Koren Robinson and Joe Jurevicius off the market, Antonio Bryant and David Givens are the best receivers available until the Eagles release Terrell Owens on Wednesday.”

So, it looks like the answer to TO will come Wed-Thu.

And this from KFFL:

“The Washington Post reports the Washington Redskins will give WR Brandon Lloyd a new contract. According to several league sources, the new contract will reach up to $10 million in guaranteed money and could average close to $5.5 million per season.”

Again, how is this possible?

I think that this is how the draft will go:

The Cowboys will trade down into the early second, picking up a 4th. They will then draft the best OLB available:

1. Bobby Carpenter
2. Manny Lawson
3. Kamerion Wimbley

Then at 49 we will draft NT Gabe Watson, some Boys fans wont like it but it will be a good pick. If he goes before 49, we can use the 4th round pick to move up to grab him.

In the 3rd round, we can take a FS, probably Jason Allen who is a sleeper or Anthony Smith who is more of a project.

In the 4th, we can take a RT in Zach Strief. Petiti is moved back to LT, and battles with ROgers for the backup spot. I think the Cowboys will sign either Fabini or hopefully Ashworth.

In the 5th, we take Garrett Mills, although I wish we would sign a FB, i dont see it happening.

In the 6th, we take a steal in Clint Ingram, and move him inside to battle with Burnett.

In the 7th, we take either Drew Olsen or DJ Shockley for competition and try to win a spot in camp.

1. Bobby Carpenter
2. Gabe Watson
3. Jason Allen
4. Zach Strief
5. Garrett Mills
6. Clint Ingram
7. Project QB

That with signing Coleman, Vinetieri, McGinest, Hanaam, and Ashworth/Fabini. I think thats the most realistic offseason I can think of. Nothing flashy but solid signings and good draft that builds an absolute stud team for years to come without breaking the bank.

Ron Borges, a sports writer in boston on Boston T.V just said that he talked to Adam Vinateri today and that he wants to stay in New England but wants more guaranteed money than the patriots are offering. The Tampa rumors earlier were nonsense, Green bay has inquired about his services and that Vinateri has a vacation planned to Argentina in about a week and should come to a decision in the next three or four days on where he’s going to sign, NO MENTION AT ALL ABOUT TALKING TO DALLAS. Bill and Jerry have to jump on this now and make an offer.

Chandus,

LOL! And there are so many great Mexican beers to choose from, though I’ve been drinking Modelo Especial of late.

Derrick,

Yeah, the opening is there. I don’t for the life of me understand why the Pats didn’t give Vinatieri any guaranteed money. (That’s right, not a dollar so far.)

That doesn’t mean Dallas should let them get away with it…

lou c.,

like the draft strategy, though I’m intrigued by Kevin Boothe around Round 4.

im so dissapointed..im not coming on the computer or watching espn ..for a week …and when i come back …something besides the redskins stacking there team better be a headline…

Ok, did a little research on the deadskins. They’ve saved $11.4 mil in cap space by release players including Arrington.

They’re being very active as usual in FA, including trading picks for B LLoyd and promising to restructure his contract to around $5.5 mil/yr; they’ve sign Fauria for an undisclosed amount; they’ve sign Randle El for $312 mil over 7 years, which probably means vet min plus a bonus this year; and they’re looking into DE Abraham, Andre Carter, S Archuleta, and QB Todd Collins.

If you want to fry some cells, check this out:

http://www.thewarpath.net/WarpathRedskinsCap.htm

Little Danny’s like the idiot who pays one credit card’s max bill with another credit card. It would have been fun to see the CBA negotiations fall through just to see them have to cut all those people.

Enough on this topic.

Man I need to copy edit myself.

Chandus:

Would you get me one, while you’re up?

Sorry, just had one Tecate on my fridge amd now is an empty shell… Seeing the Mexico game on the TV and in need of more…

I just read everybodies BS & not one mention of Culpepper…Why isn’t anybody interested??? The boys need a franchise QB for the future. Let Drew play next year while DC rehabs and then lets have our first franchise QB since Troy. DC is only 29 and has 6 good years left!!!

Culpepper is waaaaay overrated, too inaccurate.

let the skins do what they want. They rarely make good decisions anyway. they are spending money b/c they don’t have any drafts and they just spent big bucks on two guys who both think they are the No 2 receiver. Plus, look at the stats these guys have; Randal El has less than 7 receiving touchdowns in his career, lloyd is athletic but was accused of pulling up across the middle plus a number of the SF vets wanted him gone b/c of the type of player he was. These things will bite them, they overpaid!

Dallas Don…….if Culpepper is so great why are the Vikes letting him go.

He looked rather Mortal when he was not tossing the pigskin to Randy Moss. He might have character issues……..the Love Boat………and he is the worst fumbler at QB in the NFL. Do turnovers matter? He put up some good numbers in the Minnesota offense……but then so did Brad Johnson, Warren Moon, and even Gus Ferrote when Culpepper went down. It appears throwing the rock to Randy ain’t as hard as it seems…..unless you wear black and silver.

Akin Ayodele, Vinateri and Tom Ashworth are the 3 Free Agents that I would like.
