vet minimum for Parker
what?
Uh oh folks, it's the drunk cousin of "trade down no matter what." The dreaded Vet Min suggestion. Such a skillful negotiating tactic, how ever will Willie Parker counter? Oh and Willie Parker is giving them the finger! Man, BA didn't see that coming. Looks like a new door is in order. Come to think of it what was BA thinking? Offering a low ball contract to a productive 29 year old running back before training camp. Either way folks this negotiation is over.

By the way, the running back who I mentioned the other day will be cut soon but I couldn't figure out who it is...it looks like it's going to be Laurence Maroney. A guy I've mentioned in the past. Not sure, but I know the Pats are shopping him. They'll probably find a taker but if they don't find one by draft day, he's likely gone.
I want Maroney! I really believe Shanahan could get the best out of him.

Oh yeah if ne cuts him why not bring him in he's young 25, but don't give a draft pick for him.

Why all the hate for Moss? The guy still has class speed. And Bryant is big and can make tough catches in traffic and over the middle while Moss stretches the field.
A good veteran combo to bring up the young ones too.
No hate...I think he's still a decent player...I just dont think he has any trade value.

nothing like the old vet minimum joke to stir things up

Yeah if Pats cant find a trade partner and end up releasing him then we would be stupid not to pick him up. Only 25 n easily would become the best option at RB in a weak free agent class

Derek Anderson sucks. I mean, seriously, he has no touch or accuracy on his short passes(Browns game against us in 2008) and just chucks it up there for grabs when he's pressured(basing this on a preseason game interception).
Hmmm. Sounds like some other QB that I have seen play....

Once again people need to calm down.
Parker may come back here.
Dansby - hit the lottery
Clifton - never wanted to be here and was paid very well for his skill set
Foote - Coming off a bad season in Detroit, wants the same or more than Fujita
Edit: I was surprised that we didn't sign Pashos given his relatively modest contract.
Does anyone think that Larry Johnson would be worth a look? Judging by his play in Cincy, I think he still has something left.
He is a moron but so is our starting runningback.
