[quote=Ruhskins;688638]Isn't today the deadline for RFAs to sign the tender offer? If not today, isn't this coming up soon?[/quote]
No, they have 10 weeks from the start of FA to do that. I think that the deadline here is for teams to send an offer sheet.

Right, this is the last day they can sign an offer sheet from another team. Up until today they could have in a sense dictated where they would play next year. Now the Redskins hold the power

[quote=GMScud;688938]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.[/quote]

Mike Williams.....bad name to have, at least initially when it comes to your pro football career. Hopefully our Mike Williams will be the comeback player of the year this year.

Hey SS, so Rocky and Carlos didn't sign their tender...any word on why that's happening? Is the team still trying to move them?

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

Rocky? Not as much as I initially had suspected. Rogers? Yeah, definitely. And it looked like a deal might have been close when they signed Buchanon.

So if these guys haven't signed their tenders, is it safe to assume that they won't be at this weekend's mini camp?

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

No. I think they'll still be there

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

So if they get injured this weekend and they havent signed their tenders, what happens? does the team owe them anything?

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;689043]So if they get injured this weekend and they havent signed their tenders, what happens? does the team owe them anything?[/quote]

I believe they aren't actually allowed to participate in any physical drills per league rules. But they can be there for film sessions, meetings, general show of support for their teammates

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

interesting. well one would think rogers and mcintosh would want to sign their tenders so they could participate and, you know, show the coaching staff what they can do. i wonder if this means that both really really want to get traded?

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

Just confirmed that Rocky is not attending

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

Time to send Rogers and McIntosh to the Saints for Bushrod and a draft pick.

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

[quote=SFREDSKIN;689083]Time to send Rogers and McIntosh to the Saints for Bushrod and a draft pick.[/quote]

or Rocky and LaRon. I would like to keep Rogers, but if a trade can be worked with any combination of 2 of those 3 that would work for me.

The WP alludes to the fact that Rocky might be traded very soon. honestly, id be shocked if anyone would offer us anything for him that would make it worthwhile to trade him.

are you stating the obvious (preparing for the draft, considering potential trade options, minicamp, etc) or do you know for a fact that something specific is in the works.

He would have been a nice kick returner albeit a little pricey.

I talked to a player who relayed to me information. Can't say much but the draft will be interesting if what he is saying is what's going on.

Adam_Schefter

RT @adair07 what is the trade value of Tony Sheffler? ... 5th-round picks popular these days; Denver wants a 3rd. Guess is a 4th - a value.

Wow, a 4th for Sheffler? No wonder we aren't moving our guys, it's a firesale in the national football league.

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

I can def see any or all of Campbell, Haynesworth, Portis, Rogers, and McIntosh getting shipped out next weekend for 2nd-5th rd picks. Might as well throw Landry, Cooley, and/or Moss into the trade mix. Some how or another, they will get more picks in this draft.
I am definately thinking we are going to lose some very good players, and not getting quality value back.

If you see all of these players getting shipped out next week, then I suggest you see an eye doctor.

Other than Portis, all those players could be moved if BA can get some perceived value from them. We know they all have been, or are being shopped at one point. No need to hammer a guy who makes a valid point. That point being -we need picks, but will it cost us more in talent to get the picks, then the talent we get from using those picks.

Has Schefter lost his mind?
[quote]Adam Schefter often answers reader questions in his blog. Have a query of your own? Submit it here.

Q: If Rod Graves turned over the GM duties to you for the next few weeks, are there any moves you'd consider prior to the draft? Even if free agency is on hold until that time, there's been buzz around town that the Cardinals should use the uncapped year to spend some money on extending Darnell Dockett. Payroll has been slashed with Kurt Warner retiring, Anquan Boldin traded to the Baltimore Ravens and Karlos Dansby and Antrel Rolle defecting via free agency. When do the Cardinals spend some of that cabbage?!

-- Justin (Scottsdale, Ariz.)


A: Justin, first and foremost, Rod Graves and staff do a great job with personnel. The last thing they need is my help.[B] But if I were the Cardinals' GM, I would have traded for Donovan McNabb. And I would call the Redskins now and find out what they would want for him, even though they just traded for him. [/B][B]And if they didn't want to give up McNabb[/B], my next phone call would be to Pittsburgh to see what it would take to get Ben Roethlisberger. I'd want to reunite him with Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm. One way or another, if I'm the Cardinals' GM, I'd want to shore up my quarterback position in a way that cannot be done through the draft, but only by a trade. And if neither of those scenarios developed, then I would immerse myself in the draft finding linebackers, pass-rushers and offensive linemen that can continue to make my team the best in the NFC West.

If I'm Rod Graves I'd call up the Redskins and ask for Jason Campbell

If Rooney wants a striaght shooter look no further than JC!!!!!!!

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

I'd love to see JC as a Steeler however the Steelers hold onto draft picks like their life depends on it.

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

^ Some combination of JC for Willie Colon would fix that draft pick stinginess. Throw in A.Montgomery to boot if need be. Pitt gets JC, we get a right tackle.

[quote=internetcareer;689243]If you see all of these players getting shipped out next week, then I suggest you see an eye doctor.[/quote]

I guess my point is, that nothing would surprise me at this point. I do think they will ship several players out during the draft, and shipping quality starters out for mid-round draft picks doesn't give me a good feeling.

I am getting a strong feeling that they will ship guys out just to ship guys out, regardless of return.

My over/under on trades/players for us next week is 3, and I am inclined to take the over.

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

Seahawks waived OG Trevor Canfield.

A power-blocking prospect, Canfield didn't fit Seattle's new zone scheme.
