The Packers and Raiders are still taking about a deal
that would send Randy Moss to the Packers for a
3rd...possibly a second round pick. Moss needs (and
has agreed to) re-work his contract (making it more
'cap friendly") in order for the deal to work. The
combine helped the two teams re-start talks about
sending the WR to the Packers. If the Packers do trade
for Moss, look for them to trade down a few spots to
add a second round pick in the draft, getting back
what they possibly will use to trade for Moss (It
looks like it could happen but as I have been pointing
out since I broke this story, it will come down to Al
Davis and what he wants for him, Moss and the Packers
appear to be on the same page, but if Davis wants a
1st rounder, it wont happen...I could see a 3 and a
player). There is no way they will trade Moss
for Aaron Rodgers straight up.
I was told at the stroke of midnight the Packers will
TRY to be the first team to schedule a visit from
Adalius Thomas, ands lock him into a deal while he is
in Green Bay.
The Packers will go hard after Justin Griffith at the
stroke of midnight tonight (3-2-07).
Dan Graham, the Patriots TE, is a strong consideration
for Green Bay come Friday.
Look for the Packers to try and nail down a deal with
Ahman Green by the start of FA.
Look for the Packers to look into adding Aaron Brooks
and Patrick Kearney.
The Packers REALLY like what they saw in LaRon Landry,
the LSU Safety. If he is there with their 1st round
pick...he could be the pick. He ran a 4.37, had a 37
and a half inch vert and tested REALLY WELL. Not to
mention when they interviewed him he impressed the
staff.
The Packers also liked WR's Robert Meachem, Buster
Davis (WR, LSU), Ted Ginn (during the interview
process), Dwayne Jarrett, S John Wendling, RB's Brian
Leonard, Chris Henry (RB, Arizona), TE Zach Miller and
DE Jarvis Moss.
I know for a fact the Packers came away impressed with
a RB that could be had in the 4th round. They used
their video simulator and asked him to break down the
play, where the protection should be and he nailed it.
They also asked him to draw up a play and again were
impressed. (Sorry cann't name the player)
I heard the Cardinals and Dolphins want to make a
deal...swapping 1's...so the Phins' can take Quinn and
the Cards to take the Penn St. OT.
If the Raiders trade Moss, they may try to add David
Carr (local kid out of Fresno ST.) to be the starter.
They would then add Calvin Johnson with the 1st
overall pick. Carr could be had for a 3...definitely a
2.
Jeff Garcia has interest in the Raiders, as do the
Raiders.
The Jets MAY be looking to trade starting MLB
Johnathan Vilma. The Redskins have interest in him, as
would a few other NFL teams.
The Browns have also looked into adding Carr.
The Minnesota Vikings is said to be going HARD after
Dante Stallworth and Daniel Graham.
The Broncos, Redskins, and Saints appear to be the
front runners for Drè Bly.
Trent Green to the Dolphins? There is interest, but if
they (the Dolphins) draft Quinn and still have BIG
Daunte Culpepper, where does Green fit in?
Ahman Green will draw interest from the Jets, Broncos,
Texans and Raiders.
The Raven and Jamal Lewis should be back together by
Sunday. By cutting him they saved $8 million dollars
and already were working on a new deal before they cut
him.
Drew Bennett, Ashlie Lelie, Brandon Stokely, Kevin
Curtis and Dauntè Stallworth will be the top WR's in
the FA group. Stallworth will be the 1st to go, the
others most likely will wait and see what he gets
paid.
Willis McGahee can be had for a 3rd round pick and the
Giants, Jets, Raiders, Broncos and Texans may be
interested. The Bills would like to draft Marshawn
Lynch with their 1st round pick.
Rumors are swirling that the Vikings will offer their
2nd round pick for Atlanta back up QB Matt Schaub.
