There's a company called Bills News?
I woke up to news that we gave away our best WR, douche as he might be, for two 3rd round picks. To the team with a QB who threw 100+ passes to him a million times. Way to negotiate, Ireland...
So, now we're picking a WR in first round or what? Jesus... Marshall/Manning combo would've been interesting. But now, I'm not even sure I want Manning at this point, maybe just rebuild from scratch with Philbin. I hope he has a good influence on Ireland come draft. We need one speedy WR with good hands. And O-liners, plenty of them... And a safety who can actually run at LB speed. Oh, fuck...
Edit: Marshall in a fight with a woman again. If the trade doesn't get voided, maybe not so bad then. I dunno anymore. I give up.

The 49ers wanted him back, but he's not worth the money the Redskins are paying him.
I figured so. Curious how the Niners replace him.

Too early to tell, might be just someone trying to cash in on his reputation by just provoking him. Either way, even with 4 games, you'd still get your QB's favourite target.

As a Colts fan, I love getting Wayne back. Watching every game last year, I was actually surprised Wayne kept his cool and focus the way he did because 2-14 after years of 10+ wins and a year of Collins/The Painter/The Big O would be hard to put up with. Dallas Clark showed as I really thought he gave up and dropped more balls than Pierre Garcon throught the season before he got injured.... again. Sure, he's getting older, but I still think he has a few years of being a solid receiver and its good to have some sort of veteran leadership on offense. (Plus, this way, I still have a jersey of an active Colt!)
Colts are making all the hard choices, but the right ones. Ive pretty much agreed with everything they've done so far. Next few years going to be a bit rocky though.

Brandon Lloyd has a visit scheduled.
Morgan, while being the 49ers most complete WR, is a 3rd WR at best. At this point in his career, he's slightly better then Crabtree. Crabtree is the more talented player, but Morgan plays harder.

Really hope the 9ers don't sign Lloyd. Cmon Patriots FO!
lol god damn
this had to be why marshall was traded
because peyton still ain't coming over
I'm beginning to think that maybe it's better that way.
My fear. Then a suspension. We release him and he plays for the Bears in a year or so, 100+ catches and all.
Are the Bears even the second best offense in the division?
I think I saw that the Bears were aware of the incident before they made the trade.
Edit: I can't find it, maybe I made that up...
you're right, the Miami sentinel stated it.

The Bears might keep him knowing that...
Yeah look at it! 0 times to the playoffs with him, 0 times without him.
Why do I even bother..
You're right the Raiders were clearly better with Boller and Palmer than with Campbell.

In marshal we trust.
I look forward to seeing Roddy/Julio blow by Eric Wright next season.

This.
Some Falcons fans are already going insane, "we haven't signed anyone! the sky is falling! might as well have the Smith family back!". :jnc
Yes, because every team but them in the league has made moves. Since Dimitroff and Smith arrived, they have always played their cards close to the vest.
Speaking more on the Skins point of view, where most fans had seen enough.

Bears GM Phil Emery just released a statement:
“Both the Bears and Dolphins were aware of what occurred over the weekend. We decided to move forward with the trade. We have high expectations for Brandon as a Bear.”

I wish we could get some update numbers on how much cap space the Eagles have freed up the last 2 days. I wonder if they are loading up to make an offer to tulloch.

If the Niners don't resign Ginn, I really hope we draft a capable KR/PR, or try and utilize Hunter/Reggie Smith/Cox more. I obviously am less angry at Kyle Williams now that time has calmed me down, but I just don't see a kid that young overcoming how horrifically damning his PR mistakes were in the NFCC game.
