Chargers | Las Vegas calls
Thu, 27 Apr 2006 06:05:33 -0700

Ronald W. Powell, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman contacted the San Diego Chargers this week about the possibility of beginning talks that could end with relocating the Chargers to Las Vegas. The Chargers responded with a letter informing Goodman that their lease with San Diego prohibits them from talking with other cities until Jan. 1. Goodman said Wednesday, April 26, that he is not deterred. Goodman's overture came as a result of the announcement last week by San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders that he supports allowing the Chargers to explore relocating to other cities in the county in the team's pursuit of a new stadium.

Mark Cannizzaro, of the New York Post, reports Maryland TE Vernon Davis thinks the New York Jets will select him in the first round of the NFL Draft. "I think I'm going to the Jets," Davis told The Post Wednesday, April 27. "If I'd say anything, I'd say the Jets will draft me. I'm pretty sure, if nothing crazy happens, it'll be the Jets." Asked if he believes he can come in and be an immediate impact player, Davis said, "Oh, I know I can, right away."

That is a funny offer. Ashley has a girls name and his inconsistant play often reflects. Why don't they just ask the Packers to pay them for taking Walker off their hands.

Maybe Shanahan has been playing too much Madden.

Lelie is still young and doesn't make noise like walker. The broncos don't need a mouth. This trade makes no sense. Broncos have 2 1st round picks with not many concerns.

I can't believe the Broncos seriously think they could get Walker for Lelie and a 6. Are you serious? I told my brother earlier, they might as well offer a cheerleader and a 6. I've liked Lelie for a while, thinkin he would break out, but now I've accepted the fact that he's a career #2. Nothing wrong with that, but I think Walker can be a gamebreaker. Not even a decision if I'm GB, I turn em away.

Posted twice...sorry about this one

[Carnage]

Well, there is only one year left on his contract, he had a knee surgery last year, and has sworn he will never play there again. I think the packers are over playing their hand.

First the Broncos only have 1 first round pick they traded the #22 pick of the first round away to the 49ers.

Second, what noise does Walker make? And Walker has only 4 years in the NFL as opposed to Lelie's 5 years. Walker wanted more money from Green Bay and was holding out, Favre was the one making noise about the situation, telling Walker to get to camp and what not. Favre should have minded his own business and started to think about weither or not he will retire then so we would not have to get that story jammed down our throats... I dont blame Walker for wanting out of Green Bay, I mean who wouldn't after a fellow team mate just ripped you they way Favre did to him.

Vernon Davis has impressed in every way possible, but the true test of an elite TE in the Gates and Gonzales mold, would be to get him on a basketball court and see how he does there

if they get a first rounder for walker,tell that gm to call me,because i have some prime swamp land...

dolphins, saints, patriots also talking to walker. He's gotten official permission to seek a trade now and is even setting up a visit to denver already.

that would be two awesome offenses if Walker went to Miami. Dillon, Branch, Walker, Watson, and Brady is pretty nice, but if he went to Miami that'd be Brown, Chambers, Walker, McMichael, and Culpepper. that'd be an insane offense to match up against.

as for davis,ability wise,the sky is the limit.saw him talk for the first time today and came off rather cockey and arrogant(not that it matters)but i would not make a tight end a top 10 pick.you really need someone thats a game changer if you are picking that high and i just dont see that out of the tight end position

I have to disagree somewhat - if you team him up with let's say someone like Ladanian. That would be a combo that would be hard to matchup with.

I agree that most tight ends are not game changers but show me a tight end in the NFL that is 254lbs and runs a 4.37/4.38 40... That is a freak of nature!!! I am not sure if you have ever seen him play or any highlights but they man is a beast. And going to a team like the JETS, 49ers, Saints or any team with a shotty o-line he would be a god-send. Any QB would love to have a good reliable dump off guy like Davis, hell look at how good Gates made D. Brees look....

[dmek25]

i agree with that but who else plays offense for the 49ers?frank gore hardly scareing any defenses
