Tue, 4 Apr 2006 17:57:10 -0700
ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Baltimore Ravens continue to monitor QB Steve McNair's situation with the Tennessee Titans. They have been tracking him his situation for a few weeks. In the wake of the news Monday, April 3, that the Titans have told McNair that he cannot work out at the club's facility until his sticky contract situation is resolved, the Ravens' interest has been further piqued. The Ravens have been seeking an alternative to starting QB Kyle Boller for much of the offseason.
NFL | Team telling White they will draft him
Tue, 4 Apr 2006 18:52:09 -0700
Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports there are some behind-the-scenes talk of USC RB LenDale White not slipping in the NFL Draft as some stories have gone since his poor performance at his Pro Day workout Sunday, April 2. One team drafting in the 20s recently encouraged White not to run before the NFL Draft so it can pounce on him with its selection in the first round. Another team in the mid-teens already has told White it plans on drafting him.
NFL | Free-agent market busy
Tue, 4 Apr 2006 20:34:31 -0700
ESPN.com's John Clayton reports so far 114 unrestricted NFL free agents had deals to move to different teams while 93 has re-signed with their old teams. Last year, there were 210 total deals throughout the entire season of free agency. Even after all of the wheeling and dealing, there is still $319 million of salary cap room left, roughly $10 million per team on average.
Eagles | Team will host C. Chester
Ravens | Team will host C. Chester
Rams | Team will host C. Chester
Alright, so jets may be looking more towards LT regardless of who's there, which makes sense in the short term, since a rookie QB without an OL wouldn't win you many games in 2006 (and the coach is new and would probably like to win now to keep his job).
Ravens ARE finally looing for a QB... their obvious first choice is McNair should he come loose, but failing that, collins and apparently young are considered options. Scouting Young might just be due dilligence, however.
LenDale White may have refused to run based on team's tampering with him (and obviously he rather go to whatever winning team wants him instead of going to a loser without an OL).
C Chester is a C who can play G and TE. He's the fastest OL guy in this draft (4.83 40 @ 300lbs) and iss currently projected near the 3rd round.
