Anybody heard anything on Muhammed?

Yeah that's right DC. And apparently he is very willing to agree to an extension as well. So that isn't a big issue. But Muhammad signing with the Bears, that is the best news I have gotten all week. (It was a pretty shitty week, what with the LC thing and the Vikings moving in front of us thing). The Bears are now much less likely to take a WR. Of course, the flip side is that they are also more likely to trade down, so that could either help us or hurt us. We could move up there, but also a different team (Chargers?) could sneak in at number 4.

I'm guessing you mean might not use their first round pick on a receiver, right?
Yep my bad

if i could pick any WR available this offseason for 2005, MM would be it... but he's too old to be given that kind of money and his chances of going downhill fast are too high for that much cash...

this is good news in that it eliminates a team drafting in front of us from probably selecting a wr, but now the other teams needing a wr will more than likely intensify their pursuit of Derrick Mason which sucks 4 us if we continue to take 4ever reworking/cutting Samuels and moving Coles. As good of an offensive tackle I think Samuels can still show he can be, we can't keep him at the salary he has and we have the perfect o-line coach to find and mold a player to replace him in Bugel.

has anyone heard any rumor of Gardners potential suitors and asking prices?

This was sort of hidden in a Washington Post article the other day:

Once Coles is dealt, one source said, the Redskins will ship wideout Rod Gardner for a draft pick.

Most rumors I've heard having him going to Tampa for a 2nd or 3rd

tampa is somewhat middle of the pack in the order for picks right?

Tampa has the #36 in second and the #71 in the third. I prefer the #2!

Tampa also has San Diego's third rounder from the Keenan McCardell trade, #91.

I very much doubt we'll get a second rounder for RG. High third would be great, IMO.

Most definitely...that pick could be a good time to select a great center from the draft. That just seems to be a position not often filled by first and second round selections.
