Hey, I just heard the Eagles traded McNabb to the 49ers. Wow!

That story was a fake. The real story of the day is that the Eagles just signed Terrell Owens.

According to Bedard, Colledge was on the list of player attendees for Fan Fest. He is not on the current list. Let the speculation commence.

Andrew Brandt's one sentence deconstruction of Collin's agent Alan Herman's quote about signing the tender offer:

We have done our part Green Bay. Now show us the money!

<<<>>>

Also according to Bedard, Packer's draft strategy should not include a reach at pick number 1 because the Packers do not have a lot of All-Pros on the team. I can't wait to see his explanation next year, if that number should increase, that it was all due to his suggestion on drafting strategy.

Reports are LT is deciding between the Vikings and the Jets

I still think Westbrook, if you give him time to get healthy, functions as a stellar 3rd down back for teams like MN and GB

Cleveland Inks deal with Del-Homey

Updated Mar 13, 2010 6:49 PM ET
CLEVELAND (AP)
Free agent quarterback Jake Delhomme has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Cleveland Browns.

The QB's agent, Rick Smith confirmed Delhomme's agreement with the Browns, who have been busy trying to fix a troublesome position. Delhomme, 35, was released last week after seven seasons with the Carolina Panthers.

He had been scheduled to visit the New Orleans Saints, his hometown team, but canceled the trip. Delhomme visited the Browns on Thursday but left without a deal.

Delhomme is expected to compete for Cleveland's starting job with Brady Quinn. Earlier this week, the Browns acquired backup Seneca Wallace in a trade with Seattle and released Derek Anderson.

Really Holmgren? Jake Delhomme? Seneca Wallace?

The "Big Show" in Cleveland is not impressing.

I agree, Cap'n.

Looks more like a group of castaways, stranded.

Which one's Ginger?

Quinn traded to Broncos!

rotoworld.com

Broncos acquired QB Brady Quinn from the Browns in exchange for FB Peyton Hillis and two conditional draft picks.

While Quinn won't be guaranteed anything in Denver -- he'll have to beat out Tom Brandstater and Chris Simms just to threaten Kyle Orton -- the move is a best-case landing spot for the former No. 22 overall pick. At Notre Dame, Quinn played in essentially an identical offense to the one Josh McDaniels runs in Denver, and McDaniels' track record of coaching up QBs is highly impressive. Quinn is again a worthwhile stash in dynasty leagues.

Anyone know anything about S Deon Grant? Should TT take a look at him?

Packers have a workout scheduled with Chris Cook, CB/S from Virginia. 6-2, 212. Expected to probably be a 2nd round pick. Supposed to be pretty good in zone coverage.

I'm a VT fan and hate UVA BUT Chris Cook is a player and would love if we drafted him. Only thing that kinda concerns me is while he has all the athletic ability you want in a CB he does have a few character issues missing all of the 2008 season for academics reasons. Also heard he only put up 7 bench reps which is pretty weak for someone his size.

Can someone explain to me how Matthew Stafford could "know" Nate Burleson from an NFL personnel standpoint?

PFT-Rosenthal[/b]]Stafford told Detroit-area reporters Tuesday that the team keeps him in the loop on free agent moves and asks for feedback. He also makes an occasional recruiting pitch, like the phone call he made to Nate Burleson when free agency opened.

"It's exciting to be able to bounce ideas -- I think they know I know a lot of the guys in the league and the personnel pretty well," Stafford said. "It's fun to be able to help out a little bit.''

IS SEATTLE INSANE ????????????e

For a Whitehurst, they swapped second round picks (I think that has them moving down about twenty picks

AND

gave up a 2011 3rd round pick.

I think that's about a second round draft pick for a QB who is a year older than Aaron Rodgers and really has no NFL Experience

No Seattle is not insane in the classic sense.

It's just that there's some really high quality marijuana in the pacific northwest.

Everyone is just really baked...man.

Who knows, maybe they seem something in Whitehurst?

I know, doubtful, but the guy better perform extremely well RIGHT NOW to save seattle.

[Brandon494]

I know a few teams were trying to go after Whitehurst and he has played pretty well in preseason games. Also has been tutored under Norv Turner the last 4 years so should be well prepared instead of drafting a QB with their #6 pick.

This one is really something. That's awful quick to give up on a 1st round QB that you moved up to get! Did they lose that much confidence in him?

Quite the housecleaning at the position over there. Does Delhomme start???
