Not a fan of Barnett, it's too much money for a dude who can't stay healthy, but it's still an upgrade and Moats won't have to fuck around at ILB.

Moats with 8 sacks minimum if these idiots actually give him burn from game 1.

At least you get to enjoy his samurai dance after he makes a tackle seven yards downfield on 3rd and 4.

it is to the point where i would rather have CJ Spillman, a career special teams player, play at FS over goldson. i mean it won't come to that since we have reggie smith but i cannot stress enough that goldson is raw fucking garbage. he can't cover, he's not a ballhawk and he constantly takes shitty angles. i have no idea why he is sought after by anyone. the only thing i can say for him is that he is a WILLING tackler, and has the ability to cause forced fumbles when he actually puts himself in a decent position but that could be said about every FS in the history of football.

i will consider this FA period a success if dashon goldson leaves
wow he sounds worse than what I thought he was

That reminds me--Bears fans are going to love Roy Williams doing his first-down "point your finger" dance--especially when they're down by 20 points. That's always a classic.

I believe this qualifies as a news update: Albert Haynesworth is mauling Patriots OLs, specifically Rich Ohrnberge

All according to keikaku.
Who the fuck is Rich Ohrnberge?

God I hope not. The only way he gets enough balls for that is if Finley or Jennings gets hurt.

And his moronic loud mouth tweets about things like not being in the Super Bowl pic. Not that that will be an issue on the Bills anyway.

Yeah thats pretty much what Rogers is doing to Saints Oline. He is exactly what they needed next to Sedrick Ellis. Big Sed had scrub help for a long time and now with Big Baby in the middle plugging up the lanes, that frees up Cameron Jordan and will Smith off the edges. They may actually have a pass rush this year.

I don't think that's true. He is a guy that, if and it's a BIG if, he catches the ball can find the endzone often. Maybe not a pro bowler with our stacked receiving corps, but he should be very productive.

I will miss his DM's telling me to go fuck myself.

He now has a three year deal. His soft head is likely exponentially softer...depending on guaranteed dollars.
With any luck the contract is worded such that he loses $100,000 per dropped TD.

He'll be playing for free by the end of the year

YES.

2 years, $6 million.

The Lions are having a great offseason. Now I pray for no injuries.

EDIT: They must want tp play for Swartz

lol Dennis Dixon wants a trade cause he thinks he is starting material. okkkk

Kinda silly....but at the same time, he's not any worse than TJack or Campbell or Henne or some the other scrubs that have had a shot at starting. Can't see anybody looking to make him an offer though.

Plax to the Jets kind of surprises me....I would have given that city a big middle finger if I was him. I thought for sure he'd either go to the Eagles or go out west.

Newbie question alert:

Hi guys, I started to follow NFL last season & I can't wait for the 2011 Season to finally start!
In the UK it's pretty had to keep up to date with weekly games so I was wondering if in the States there's a weekly round-up show with highlights from every game?
I would have to download it via torrent as there isn;t anything shown on british TV.
Any help would be great!

Look for Ten Yard Torrents. They usually will post any and every football related thing ever.

This is huge in today's NFL. We see the same thing happening in New York with Rex Ryan. If you get a guy who is known as a players' coach than you're going to have more guys want to play for you.

Bears signed Chris Spencer to a 2 year deal.

We'll see how this goes, I still think we need to pick up another vet.
Is this guy an upgrade from Olin? I did think Olin was starting to show his age.

update coming...

For some reason I have a feeling this is a Jets signing, possibly insurance if Cromartie goes to the 9'ers

I think the Texans made a bit of a mistake not signing him back. Can't remember the stat, but Lance Z noted they ran a lot more 2 back than most people think. That said, Leach was an awful receiver, so Kubiak probably wants another option when inexplicably going away from a productive ground game
So true. :(

Maybe Co-Coach Wade will take over Off. playcalling duties too.

I'm not sure but he hasn't even made a pro bowl as a first round pick and wasn't resigned by his team. Dont forget that the bears are Olin's team, he is THE leader.

Report on Pats practice today from Ian R. Rapoport(Boston Herald).

Unlike this morning (right, from AP), the Patriots hit. They practiced in full-pad in a practice that included newly acquired DT Albert Haynesworth.

How did it all go?

– Albert Haynesworth was on the field and in the mix. There was no missing that. On his first play during an inside drill, Haynesworth blew up OL Rich Ohrnberger and drove him 5 yards back. On the next play, Haynesworth abused him again. On the first full-team drill, Haynesworth’s swim move put him in the backfield quick. Still, he didn’t participate in that many plays. And he didn’t run sprints.

– Chad Ochocinco, on the other hand, was completely involved. And he still looks like he’s still trying to get on the same page. It still looks like its happening pretty fast for him. He mis-timed one jump, dropped a screen pass, but also had some nice plays. He may simply be adjusting to practice. Late in practice, Pat Chung beat Ochocinco to a spot and knocked the ball out, earning Chung a chest bump from Brandon Spikes.

– As the Patriots experiment with a 4-3 look in practice, Brandon Spikes has shined as the middle linebacker. He reads quickly, wades through the trash well and is just hitting guys. I don’t know if we’ll see more of the 4-3, but it does look to fit the personnel, especially if Jerod Mayo goes to Will LB, like he played in 2006 at UT.

– Two guys who have stood out over two days are CB Leigh Bodden and WR Taylor Price. Bodden has covered extremely well, out-fighting Rob Gronkowski for one pick and looking very solid. Price has caught balls well, but the play that stood out had him shrugging off a mugging by CB Jonathan Wilhite to make a sweet catch. And he caught a long TD from Ryan Mallett to burn CB Thad Turner.

Albert Haynesworth is out of shape no surprise, but the most interesting thing I thought was Spikes as the middle linebacker in a 4-3. I thought Spikes might be to slow for that position, but that is definitely an interesting wrinkle on defense. One thing I am going to keep my eye on. It's going to be hard to tell if the Pats are going to make a move to 4-3. Last pre season they played 4-3 a ton,but they were still base 3-4.

Good read, I'm real excited about Spikes. I love having a young ILB corps as good as Mayo and Spikes.

I'm not surprised at all by the good news about Price, he has the skill set to become a more athletic Welker, I really hope he gets a chance to play more this season.

Hmmm the Cardinals offense could actually be pretty damn good if they go out and get him. Fitz/Edwards/Breaston/Heap with Kolb and the running backs, that's a good group right there.

Yeah, all the reports sound great. Haynesworth still seems to have a lot of pure potential, and even if he isn't in shape to play all game, he'd probably still be a nice addition.

Surprising to hear that we actually might have more than one capable player at CB and LB this year. Looking forward to hear more about Ras-I Dowling.

According to the article, the defense is adapting moving along faster than the offense? Who would've thought that after last year.

Right now I'm just a little bit worried about the O-line. Will they start Solder and Vollmer at Tackle? Could be risky.

So now that Asomugha has finally signed, we can take our collective attention and focus on the next biggest target available on the free agent market. Be prepared to watch intently as he chooses between his numerous suitors, all of them fighting desperately against each other to get him under contract. Prepare yourself for...
