That could turn out to be a good look right there.

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

man, feels weird to have that pic soak in

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

Don't have truly reliable information on this yet but Willie Colon is about to sign his RFA tender with the Steelers and there are some rumors that we are targeting him. Steelers supposedly looking to ship him out even more so than before due to his association with the infamous Milledgeville night. Carlos Rogers could be part of this deal

Again, really preliminary rumor. I usually wouldn't post without more confirmation, but why the heck not

I love when you post the stuff like this, no harm as long as you mention it's not concrete

any chance they'd try him at LT?

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

I would think RT. I honestly don't know enough about Colon to make any assessment. Rogers is a guy that I expected they wouldn't truly actively shop going into the off-season. But that's actually not been the case at all. If anything, he's been shopped more than anyone (save for maybe Landry).

Maybe Shanny being so high on him was to build value.. or he thought that he'd get good compensation whereas a lot of people weren't interested

I was guessing he'd be RT as he has been before not to mention it seems like we'll go OL in the 1st

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

Wow, I wasn't expecting to see a pic like that until preseason.

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

i agree with tryfhul - this is the sort of stuff i love seeing, SmootSmack. i'd rather read your rumors than anyone elses. I don't really have an opinion on Colon, but the Steelers offense couldnt be any more dissimilar from ours. Add to that the fact that their line really hasnt been that good, and I dont know how i feel about it. I'm not sure if Colon was part of the problem in Pittsburg or the one shining spot, but if theyre eager to move him, its not a good sign.

Rogers may have bad hands, but he's a heck of a corner otherwise. if we did the trade, i'd expect them to throw something else in to sweeten the pot. An above average starting cornerback >> a servicable RT.

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

Colon's been one of the better RTs in the league the past couple of years.. anyone who hates the musical bookends we've been having should be praying that this happens

4 years in the league, 3 year starter - all 16 games each of those 3 years

Colon has surpassed the "serviceable" mark lol.. if there's anything extra thrown in it will probably be from our side, though if they're looking to move him like Holmes due to the nightclub thing it's not likely that we would

I'm not sure what scouts think of him as an offensive lineman, but he's a hell of a salsa singer/composer ;)

And Jammal Brown is still very much in play as well.

agreed on both counts.

on colon - what would be be giving up? just rogers?

lastly, man i cant wait until the draft.

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

29 year old Tackle? We don't really have to ammo to pull that off do we? Maybe for a second next year but still I don't want to continue to trade picks.

I have no idea what we'd be giving up.

We inquired about both Marcus McNeill and Jermon Bushrod but both seem to have fallen by the wayside. Focus looks to now be on Brown and Colon. Some say Donald Penn as well, but I'm not so sure about that one.

Hypothetical. If Berry slips to us at 4, would you trade Landry for Brown and draft Berry? Or would you rather hold onto Landry and draft Okung?

Thats a tough one, but I'll take Okung. Actually I would take a trade for Brown and draft Okung. Then try to Atowge from St. Louis.

this is when i thank god that i dont have to make decisions like this.

i would say i would take landry/okung and hope that #30 will perform better under our new coaching staff/scheme/etc.

i was more hoping we'd be after bushrod. so are brown and colon (i want to make a joke here) an either/or situation or could we trade for both of them and use our first pick on something other than a offensive tackle?

Berrys not worth being taken at 4. i just dont get the love for him. personnaly, i'd trade Landry for Brown, Rogers for Colon and a pick, trade down from 4 with SF and draft Spililer and Iupati. i'd view him as a left guard and future LT project and try to trade dockery for a late round pick.

Brown/Iupati/Rabach/Hicks/Colon

Actually, if i had more time to think about it, i'd probably come up with something different and much crazier.

what does it mean that he's starter all 16 games for 3 years. thats probably true of most of the steelers line during that time frame and its been pretty atrocious. their line isnt much better than ours. if colon were considered one of the positives of their line, then why the heck would they be trying to get rid of him?

I don't get all the hype surround the RFA contracts being signed at the last minute. If anything it seems like nothing more then a formality.

Re: Dirtbag's Mock Draft
 

woah, how'd you make such a fancy mock draft?

BTW, it seems pretty reasonable based on no trades occurring. i think someone ends up trading ahead of buffalo for clausen, though.

I was referring to someone saying that we should get Otogwe. If he signs the tender then he's in contract with the Rams, that would mean that he would be only available via a trade, correct?

Tomorrow is the last day that RFA's can sign offers from other teams. They are free [I]not[/I] to sign their teams tender until the 10th week of the season. If they don't sign by then, they cannot play this year. Some other penalties apply for waiting.

The Raiders have just signed Kyle Boller. Does this mean Campbell to the Bills is even more likely now?

This means the Raiders still have no QB.

Gradkowski is their best bet...I guess.


Claussen has a chance to be there for them at #9, if not, I'd expect them to try to get Tebow or McCoy in round #2.

Looks like Gradkowski got hurt on Wednesday and will be out until training camp so Boller gives them a QB with experience in Jackson's offense until then

I actually just read something saying that he hasn't been in the league for two years. Apparently he ballooned to 270 lbs before he washed out. I liked watching him at USC.

If you don't believe me just search around man, he's one of the better ones. I was just pointing out that he's been healthy as well, not using that as my entire basis. Their former RT who he beat out is now their LT, Starks I think. Just do your research before you make assumptions, especially when some people already know about the guy. What do you know about him to say that I'm not right?
