2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 5)

Mershawn Lynch intrigues me the most. It feels like he could be had for our fourth round pick and he's only 24 years old. Then again we have like infinity billion running backs and negative infinity billion draft picks. Lynch also has a handful of legal problems. However, and you probably know more about this then I do, but how did he get into Cal Berkley without being smart?

I mean I know they probably didn't hold him to the same standards going in as their other students but to attend Cal-Berkley something has to be working right in that otherwise messed up head of his. Then again UGA has some pretty loose standards with athletes. I've had friends with 1,300 SAT scores that have been denied admittance while hearing about athletes with 800 SAT scores.

Found this on Mershawn:

Immaturity and bad decisions are not a direct line correlation to a lack of intelligence.

That being said, I would have been in favor of going after Lynch before we stocked up at RB with veterans but I think Portis, Johnson, Parker and Alridge will give us a nice rotation that provides a decent balance of power and speed for 2010.

Verses running CP into the ground. Agree!

lynch would be a good pickup, portis could garner a 4th, 3rd possibly

Some of the players that coach has aquired will be conditioned and trained then be applauded by the team in the summer just to be used as trade bait. The plan that is being implemented will last all summer and into this season. I just hope they do not get a reputation for being sneaky, just smart.

Redskins | Shanahan says Tebow could play special teams initially

Thomas George, of NFL Fanhouse, reports Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he could use Florida QB Tim Tebow on special teams initially if the team were to select him in the NFL Draft due to his size and physicality. "I think the guy is such a competitor. Wherever he ends up playing he will do a good job," Shanahan said. "He is such a worker. How are you going to use him? How long will you give him to develop? He is such an athlete. You know he is going to work. Maybe you put him on special teams. He has the size of a linebacker or tight end. He is not afraid of hitting people. It's a way to use him more and early on the 45-man roster. I wouldn't hesitate to do that.''

And the chance of signing tebow is about.... zero.

People are saying maybe even a late 1st round pick for him, but t least a 2nd rounder. Even if we somehow get a 2nd round pick, i think we go O-line, LB, RB, but NOT a 4th QB/special teams person...

Just read on Matt Mosley's NFC East blog on ESPN we might be opening up the season at home against the Cowboys.

And by the way, Aikman said he'd heard a rumor that the Cowboys would be opening the season on the road against Donovan McNabb and the Redskins. Since Aikman is employed by the network that would likely broadcast that game, I'd say it's a pretty good lead.

Further movement possible for Redskins, others - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=cr-availableplayers040910)
