A shame that his knee hasn't gotten better. I love some David Garrard. Great player here at ECU, and his family is still back here.

bizarro world.

Him and Titus Young should get together and hang[/quote]

He retired 3 years ago, he's just getting around to announcing it.

These two examples right here at why the NFL needed a rookie pay scale.

Rolando made at least 23 mil with the Raiders and Hey Ward Bey signed a contract very similar the year before.

I know the Raiders should have drafted safer players but still that is a heavy fine for picking wrong. That is one reason why it has been hard for teams to get out if the first ten picks.

Jacksonville, Detroit, Oakland, and the Browns seem to draft from those spots on a pretty consistent basis.

rolando is in idiot (i think)... if he's on the roster for 3 games in his 4th NFL season, he'd be a fully vested veteran that would pull 1,300 a week starting at age 55 (and adjusted upward for inflation) and get 2/1 matching on 401k contributions.

he quit 3 games too early...

I like Griffin's response.

That is Derrick Rose's inbox.

That sucks he seems like a good guy. I was cheering for him on Hard Knocks last summer.

[quote]Jared expects his father to have a difficult time cheering for the Redskins if his son’s wearing a Cowboys uniform this season. [B]Could that possibly mean Darrell would also don the blue and silver?

Jared seems to think so.

“It would only make sense that a proud dad would wear his son’s jersey,” Jared said. “Any fan or any spectator should appreciate that.[/B]”[/quote]


Apparently he doesn't know Redskins fans well....lol :laughing-

Re: NFL News Offseason Style
 

So the Raiders have signed Chris Kluwe apparently

Rotoworld says the Redskins are interested in Hightower apparently, as are the Giants. I'm not really sure about what the Redskins interest is

And in what I think is maybe the most interesting news of the week, the Vikings are moving Joe Webb to WR

Re: NFL News Offseason Style
 

I saw this the other day on ESPN and just stumbled on it again. Sorry if it has already been posted. Oh that tricky Andy Reid.

As in Tim Hightower? Why? He was good for us, but, we have Helu, Royster, Chris Thompson, Jawan Jamison, and Alfred. We don't need an older back that can't stay healthy, taking away reps from these younger backs.

No surprise from Webb. He sucked at QB (except against us a few years ago).

So NFLPA is making players defer their performance based pay until 2016 so they can bump up the salary cap? Bad CBA for the players...[/QUOTE]

I said all along that the players got robbed in this CBA. Had too many idiots that needed the money fast so they'd sign anything as long as they got a check. DeMaurice Smith didn't help one bit either, as I would have walked away until they met the players demand.

DSmith went for the big play against the NFL, instead of looking out for players interests. I really am surprised more players didn't see that and question it early on. Now, of course, they are stuck coming up with patch after patch. Wonder if the players ever get tired of it.

That's how unions operate.
