I'd make that trade no problem, McMicahel is a good TE. However, the trade with the Cardinals is all but done. The Cardinals just have to decide what Travis is going to do with his contract, but once they figure that out, Travis will go to Arizona, and LJ Shelton will be heading to Buffalo.

Shelton? Werd yo, I'm fine with Euhus or Campbell as it is, though they are serviceable. They seriously need an O-Line though. :lol

When is the last time they made the playoffs again? Who cares how they spend their money, its not producing results. The best players they have on defense, the one strength of this team, were the ones they drafted. They dont seem to be aware of that fact considering how quick they are to trade away draft picks every year in favor of big names looking to get paid.

Just like how he didn't want to manage the clock all of last year, right? He's done after next season, he'll rather deal with rednecks than spoiled athletes.

The Bucs really are Raiders-East:
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Dwight Smith was arrested early Tuesday and charged with a pulling a pellet gun on two fans who approached his car while he waited in line at a McDonald's window.
Smith, a star in the Super Bowl two years ago, was inside his car with a friend at 4 a.m. when a woman in the car ahead of them recognized the player, the Hillsborough County sheriff's office said.

With that said, I could see how he might be worried for his safety at 4AM in the morning.

dont you talk about jgar that way, he is quality through and through
Wish we could pry Williams off ya!Thank you. If it's not a colossal first round bust, it's an over the hill never-was. I'm getting real sick of Mariucci and his San Fran leftovers.LizardKing said:
We nee to go all defense in the Draft and FA this year. Except I do hope they draft a "project"QB in the 2nd/3rd. Like the guy from Auburn or Vick clone in Arena league. Lord knows if it's an honest competition this year Joey might not even beat a rookie.

shit, sorry methodman, i knew it was you. as you can see my typing has slowly gone downhill as the years have gone on... i will change it
I'd rather the Fins push hard for Edge or Henry rather than waste a pick on a RB. Sorry, I don't believe it's worth the risk right now. There's no standout back this year IMO. Nothing worth wasting a #2 pick on. OTOH, we have to get a RB somehow, so if the draft is the only way to go, then so be it. But Adrian Peterson is the obvious college RB stud, so it looks like we got #2 at the wrong time. I'd agree with them trading down this year, if only b/c it's not gonna make a damn bit of difference where we pick in the first. So long as it's not another defensive pick, we'll be fine. RB or OL. That's what I'd go with. And eventually, they'll have to start looking to the future at LB. Maybe use a later round pick on an OLB. PEACE.

FSN have reported that the Seahawks are releasing Anthony Simmons. WTF!?! Didn't they sign him to a long term contract last year? I realize that the guy has been injured a lot but when healthy he's probably the best LB they've got.
If this is true, a stud LB just hit the open market.

Cadillac is the real deal, too. Ronnie will probably put up better numbers, while Cadillac will be on Sportscenter more often. Either one is the real deal. Benson should have a good NFL career, as well, although I think that going with either one of the Auburn guys would be a better move.
To say that there aren't any standout RBs this year is just stupid. There are three legitimate top 10 backs, more than any other position in the top 10, and there is a solid group of about 5 2nd to 3rd round picks, of which at least 2 or 3 could end up being starters one day.

The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the Ravens have signed former Titans receiver Derrick Mason to a 5-year deal. No other terms disclosed yet.

I would love for the Giants to not have to see Trotter ever again. 
Dirtiest fucking player in the game, friends.
Lot's of news, some mentioned above.
Jags sign Donovan Darius to a one year deal.
Cowboys release Dexter Coakley (WHAT THE FUCK!?)
Niners release Brandon Whiting.
Brad Johnson and Joe Jurevicius were released from the Bucs
Raiders release Frank Middleton, Ray Buchanan, and Roland Williams
It's official, the Pats and Cowboys are officially crazy.

So would cowboys fans consider the coakley signing a good deal? Rams fans seem split, some say he's too old and he's lost a step.

Well i heard the cowboys are switching to a 3-4, and he's possibly just not suited to play their new scheme? Also heard parcells wanted to keep him, in a nickel LB role. I'm sure he's definitely an upgrade over what we got now tho lol

Williams: good blocker at TE
Buchanan: likely to get re-signed, this was a salary issue. He will hopefully be used as a CB again, since Schweigert will be the starting FS, with Derrick Gibson back at SS
Middleton: the only time we saw him was when he got in Derrick Brooks' face after killing Rich Gannon
