You'll be happy to know Humphries was picked last night..... Well, maybe happy is overstating it.

Titans entertaining offers for top pick in 2nd round, No. 33. Top teams in round 2 all taking calls. One team interested in coming up: PITT.

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 58m58 minutes ago
Teams I hear want to come up into the early part of the 2nd round: The #Steelers, the #Seahawks, the #Falcons.

Translation? We have no guaranteed money so let's make a deal......

lol, due to earn 48 million over the next 3 years. yeah, good luck getting more

If he's not selected tonight, he'll be locked into a 4th round (at best) draftee contract for at least 3 years. If he reenters the draft next year, he has a chance to be drafted in the 1st round, with the contract that goes with it. Players sit out a full year all the time. Usually it's because of an injury, but what difference does it make?

Right. Now they are in desperation mode.

Loses one year of a very limited career and makes nothing and of course anything can happen in a year...

I'm looking for AJ Cann for the Vikings....or maybe one of the two ILBs I mentioned earlier.

He's worried the Vikings will now cut bait. He is taking their (from his point of view) lack of agitating* on his behalf with the League office as dissatisfaction with him that might end his time with the Vikings well before he collects. Injury is also a concern. Unless his lawsuit is successful, he is not getting back last year's post-suspension money either.

Vikes didn't trade him but they also didn't draft his replacement.

Now is the time he has whatever leverage he is going to have.

*Might also be mad about guidance/lack of guidance about the wisdom of taking that plea deal.

LOL. They're all scrambling to draft their favorite ILB.

Are there rules that say he can't be picked again?? Second dibs??

The pick will be OT - and TT will pick his nose and fling the booger at anyone who dares ask him a question about ILB. Very compelling television ;)

WE, as a collective group of fans, will hate you if your team takes one of our ILB's

He has very little - potential hall of fame career...missed an entire year for all practical purposes. 30 years old. He HAS to play.

He wants some gauranteed money in case he gets hurt and it all ends.

As for the plea deal, his record is wiped clean if he does what was asked and stays straight and narrow. Legally, this whole thing wasn't much but the NFL had a huge black eye so turned it into the Ed Gein case.

I'd hate to give up a 3rd in this draft to move up in the 2nd. Depending on the circumstances, I might not mind giving up a 4th to move up in the 3rd.
