EPTSeriously? He was their best offensive weapon outside of Forte. Hope you guys sign some receivers otherwise expect a lot of screens/swing outs to Forte.

People can knock chad all day, but the dude is 100% football when he's on the field, and he can still play damn well. If even just one of Hanesworth or Ocho pans out, the Pats are dramatically better. That Jospeh deal means huge money for Asemowasdf;lj;lw Speaking of money, I heard it on ESPN on tv the other day and saw nothing else, but is Frank Gore holding out?? The bears have terrible management. I have no idea why they'd get rid of Olsen, who is a pretty damn good catching TE, probably their best skill guy on offense. I'm pretty surprised no one has taken a shot at Malcolm Floyd yet. Has a bit of an issue with injuries, but is an affordable big WR who at the very least could provide a nice change of pace on a smallish WR corps like in NYJ or the bears Yeah, I hope the pats fail or Haynesworth is still a cancer up there.... one can hope. Frank Gore AND Chris Johnson are holding out.... CJ started his holdout after Frank Gore started his (for obvious reasons...). In related holdout news so is DeSean Jackson. Bears got rid of Olsen because Mike Martz is more a receivers guy over utilizing TEs in his system heh. Prolly still living out his greatest show on turf days than adapting his system to utilize Cutler's favorite target. I heard rumors they might go after Braylon Edwards?... Forte is gonna be doing a lot more work regardless. I am also curious why no one has been talking with Floyd. | ||

Chicago turned their biggest position of strength into a weakness in less than a week by cutting or trading 3 of their 4 tight ends and replacing them with a backup from Pittsburgh. Meanwhile Carolina make out like bandits. Maybe it's payback for the Jamar Williams for Chris Harris trade? That was really depressing, that wasn't a football move (a starting safety and locker room leader for a backup LB? My God..), that was a salary dump; that was simultaneously proof that the lockout was pending (as I whined about in post #2 of this thread, Jerry R. could not have been more overt in commanding the franchise to batten down the hatches last off season) and that they had utterly no interest in competing last season*. Harris is such a great guy, on the radio, the locker room and the field.. having him made losing Minter more bearable (no pun intended). * Sometimes I just want to deck Michael Lombardi. He went on the BS report today and stated that the Panthers always make huge moves like re-signing all of their in demand FAs and as evidence of that last season Fox told him they were going to be better than anyone expected. OF COURSE THE FKING HEAD COACH TOLD HIM THAT, what the hell. The team was an 8-8 team too (just like ALL of Fox's teams have been.. Captain Don't Play To Win, so glad to be going in a new direction) aside from the fact that our QB situation was so bad that only another season of Jake Delhomme and the post-Warner trainwreck in Arizona could have been worse. It doesn't bother me that the Panthers have no national profile, but it does bother me when people talk out of their asses about a team they know dick about. All of the 'Lowly Panthers' talk based on the 2-14 season last year was hilarious given that we were one game away from home field advantage throughout the playoffs in '08, the season that was ruined when Delhomme's surgically repaired elbow finally gave up the ghost and torpedo'd us in the first round of the playoffs with the most unimaginably awful playoff performance anyone's seen in recent memory (AND HE KEPT PASSING IT, RAGHAGHAEHGAHGAHG). Inexplicably, the front office decided that since we made such a great run in '08, all we needed for '09 was the exact same roster (including Delhomme who'd just demonstrated that he was done as an NFL QB). Given the major changes that needed to take place and the fact that the lockout was pending with no guaranteed '11, '10 was a complete write off (for everyone but John Fox who really didn't want that 0-16 mark on his resume). Of course, I'm not saying anything about '11 being 'our year.' As far as I'm concerned our biggest problem last year (QB) is our biggest problem this year, although I suddenly find myself excited that Steve Smith will not be our one receiving threat this season. | ||

I mean I get it, the guy's looking for one last big paycheck (and he currently makes roughly the same as Alex Smith), but who wants to sign a player coming off of season-ending surgery to a long term deal? -Chris Johnson? Well he deserves to get paid... he didn't live up to the hype of 09, but he's still a top 5 rb. -Getting rid of Olsen because Martz is incompetent is not a + move for the Bears. -The 49ers have been linked to Malcom Floyd. http://www.csnbayarea.com/07/28/11/Crabtree-heads-to-PUP-list-with-foot-inj/l_49ers.html?blockID=544507&feedID=5936 I question the 49ers atual "interest" in Floyd because it seems like the 49ers have been "linked" to pretty much every FA... and all they have to show for it so far is Akers. Also I question how good Floyd actually is... it's a lot easier to put up decent numbers when your QB is Phillip Rivers than when it's Alex Smith. | ||

He should hold out - it's unfortunate that that's the way football works with its salary structure, but Running Backs don't have a long shelf life. He deserves,,or at least, I hope he gets, the security of a contract before running out onto that field again. EDIT: Ooooooh...he's 28....that takes some luster off. | ||

I really can't believe there's people defending that bears move. That was terrible, and he was the team's best receiver by far. Hester and Knox should be no more than slot guys on any halfway decent team. It becomes more and more apparent each year that Martz's crazy ass shit only works if he has All pro talent at the positions he covets. I agree with Nemy about Floyd on the Niners. The team has enough trouble just getting it out to the current receivers. Floyd's a nice add, but only if he's going to an already established offense to add another wrinkle. For the price he'd command, he'd barely have opportunities out there | ||

Good lord ~_~ The sad or funny (depending on who you root for) part is, once those two act out in New England, they'll probably have reasonably upped their value enough for the Pats to get 3rds and 4ths. | ||

I don't understand how they don't get outbid in spots like that Like I said before, if you're a GM for an opposoing team and the Patriots come to make a trade with you, DON'T DO IT, YOU'RE GETTING RIPPED OFF. Even if Ochocinco puts up a stat line of 65/900/6 for the next 3 years and then retires or is released that's more than worth what the avg 5th + 6th rd picks are worth combined.

Why else would they keep their horrible headcoach, not trade away their semi-effective QB (who would rather retire than play for the team), employ an alcoholic at RB, let their all star DB go to FA, and trade away their waning star receiver for kibbles and bits? Have they done anything at all this FA (I'm not a bengals fan)? | ||
