Bob Grotz, of the Delaware County Times, reports sources said the Philadelphia Eagles offered DT Hollis Thomas and a sixth-round draft choice to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for WR Javon Walker, but it appears the offer was not enough to get the job done.

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.

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

[dmek25]

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

[That Guy]

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.

[dmek25]

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.

[dmek25]

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

yeah, too bad he's not going to a team like the redskins. No one would be able to stop the redskins' offense.
