Yep, so I expect a battle between Jackson and Whitehurst in camp but most likely Jackson will win out since he'll know the system better. Also, Seattle is going after Sidney Rice, another Vikings player.

Ya I saw that, but does Rice want Jackson throwing to him again lol.

[JO_75]

Eagles to let LB Stewart Bradley and every other one of their Free Agents walk. Cue the Aso to Philly talk again.

List of Eagles Free Agents:

-S Quintin Mikell

- RB Jerome Harrison

- CB Dimitri Patterson

- G/C Nick Cole,

- OG Max Jean-Gilles

- P Sav Rocca

If Yanda wants too much, now the addition of Nick Cole and Max Jean now add to the list of veterans we could bring in as a stop gap at RG.

[Wacko4Zacko]

shocked Seahawks wont go for Matt leinart

[JO_75]

Why Leinart? With T-Jax they can tank the season and get another USC QB next year, Matt Barkley.

So I'm looking at the Real Time FA Update site, and well it doesn't surprise me now(or anyone else) why Yanda wants more money, look who else is going after him, Mr. Dan Snyder. With that folks, Yanda is officially gone, unless somehow he takes less to stay with us.

Oh it gets better, Redskins have contacted Santonio Holmes... same ol' Redskins.

Dawan Landry talking to Jacksonville? Wow, never would have saw that coming.

I believe Robert Gallery, who played for Oakland last year, is available. He's an excellent run blocker and would be a good option at RG if we lose Yanda.

Keep Refreshing. I have that, Rotoworld, and PFT up all at once lol.

One thing that is interesting is the deal that would send Kevin Kolb to Arizona.

Kevin Kolb to Cardinals for Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, 2nd and 4th Round Picks in 2012. Yep already got hussled by the Eagles. DRC and a 2nd would have been fair enough, but throwing in the 4th is just over paying. Meanwhile, Kyle Orton could go to Miami for just a THIRD. I'd rather give up a 3rd for Orton than 2 picks and DRC.

[T3hRaven]

That's foolish to ship DRC for Kolb, especially with all of those picks involved. With the Cowboys having to get rid of their team because of the cap, the Redskins being the Redskins, and the Giants being overrated, the Eagles have won the NFC East on paper with this move. It also takes them out of the race for Asomugha.

Giants are overrated? Why you say that.

McNabb to Vikings deal is almost complete with financial terms being the only issue. McNabb vs Ponder?

The Carolina Panthers have locked up DE Charles Johnson with a 6 Year $76 Million deal with $32 Million Guaranteed.

McNabb to Start. Ponder to observe and ponder. It would be a shame to throw a kid like Ponder to the Wolves (or Vikings and Bears).

[Yatagarasu]

Charles Johnson agree to terms with the Panthers

He will sign a 6 year $76 million dollar ($32 million guarantee)

[JO_75]

Has anyone heard of anyone wanting Jared Gaither?

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

Tarvaris Jackson agrees to sign with Seattle.

Tarvaris Jackson agrees to sign with Seattle.
[/quote]

After thinking about it, this may not be a bad signing. Seattle has drastically changed their offensive line and plus I think Seattle is going to be a run first team, so that would mean Jackson handing off to Lynch and with a improved offensive line, there's holes for Lynch to run through.

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

Redskins reach agreement with santana Moss

Rams sign Former Eagles Safety Quinton Mikkel on a 4 Year Deal... per Schefter's Twitter.

If this is true, I'm no longer going to be the Cardinals in the online dynasty I'm in. lol

Right now I'm very surprised Aso hasn't been signed by anyone, I thought he would be the first person to sign.

Yeah most likely.

So what's the deal with Alex Smith? I thought it was a sure thing he was going back to the 49ers?

Yeah, I just read that from La Canfora. So Tavaris, Whitehurst and Leinart are the three QBs on the roster...fail. For their sake, competition better work a miracle, or else the Seahawks will be done before they start.

[JO_75]

Whoever had the Giants in the Plaxico Burress Pool, you maybe right. According to Adam Schefter, the Giants and Plax are discussing a potential return to the Giants.

[D-Rey]

The Jets have reportedly extended a long-term contract offer to free agent Santonio Holmes. Also Jets Woodly retires. And vikings agree to terms with WR Devin Aromashodu.

[Ed_Reed20]

On the surface, great move by the Rams to replace Atogwe with Mikell.

[Yatagarasu]

Come on, How come I don't hear anything about Tampa Bay? They got money to burn, yet they're quiet.

And Cincy is going backwards by shafting Carson Palmer. Aren't they suppose to be spending, not saving.

[JO_75]

Chargers Re-sign RT Jeromey Clary on a 4 Year $20 Million deal.

Their 2 big priorities are RG Davin Joseph, and LB Barrett Ruud who I have heard they are going to let walk. I wouldn't be surprised the first signing the Bucs make is Joseph, especially now since we just set the bar with Yanda's deal.
