top dawg

I am glad they are in the AFC.

I am going to assume that it was an oversight on our part not to include Denarius Moore. The Huddle may want to prepare itself for Nicks, also.

I just see things a little differently I suppose. Both G-man and Rivera said that were were deficient in team speed, and pointed to our wide receiving corps as a primary area that needs to be upgraded. G-man also said that he will look to upgrade every position. We already know that both men believe in competition. I say all this because in my opinion there is no safe receiver on this squad except for Benjamin. People like to throw Olsen in there, but technically he is not a receiver. Even if you include him as a de facto receiver, our receiving corps was pretty much a joke when it came to consistently getting separation and/or getting YAC. Not one of them at this point in their careers as an individual, or the unit as a whole, causes fear in the opposition. Don't be surprised if we not only pick up a receiver in free agency, but also a receiver in the draft. Someone, maybe two, are not going to make it. Might be Brown, Bersin, or even Cotchery (because we can actually save money by making him a post June 1 cut, and stand relatively little to lose even if we dont), because competition and execution trumps mediocrity. Winning a game in the playoffs is nice, but we've been there and done that (against a decidedly "injured" roster which happened to include Ginn). Now we want to go further, and real upgrades at the position of wide receiver are going to be what it takes.

No. Not by a long shot.

For me, it wouldn't be too difficult. I am just thinking of all those tasty OTs and receivers (especially) that will be there in the second. I just couldn't do it. Depending on how things shake out, there could be Fisher, Ogbuehi (maybe more of a 3), Devin Smith, Breshad Perriman, Nelson Agholor, or who knows who else. I just would have to press my lips together, shake my head, and move on from the temptation. The Browns knew what they were doing with that second round tender. Someone may bite, but I believe it will be too rich for G-man's blood.

Wow. The Steelers are releasing Kiesel. I knew it has been discussed for the last couple of years, but dude is kind of iconic in The Burgh.

I think that it's intriguing enough for an extended passing thought.

You know who we haven't signed? Dwan

Glorified meh

Meh

Jerry Hughes staying put

Harvin as a Pat means Wes Welker x 3. Bill Belichick and Brady's shiny new toy. Belichick is chomping at the bit, and Harvin would be absolutely crazy not to go there. Of course Harvin has a ring, but still.

Some of you seem to have gotten so used to being poor that you still want to penny pinch when you have a few dollars in your pocket. Building a team squeezing the life out of pennies will not land you a championship. Top veteran talent at positions, get paid dollars, not pennies. You just have to know what you're getting, and know what you're doing. Belichick knows what he's doing. I can't say that about Kelly.

Sean Weatherspoon to sign with Cards for a year for about 4 mil

I would much rather have Dwayne Harris. He is younger with more upside, and a better overall special teams player.

Once we draft Nelson Agholor, this puppy love affair with Ginn will change. LOL

Then people should stop crying.

LOL @ all you people crying about our reporters. There is nothing to report.

Like I said, G-man has his shi--err ship on lock. News will come out at the appointed time. Think of it like Christmas. Some people like to run in and tear everything open in 5 minutes because they just can't wait. Me, I wait and wait and wait until the point when they're asking me, "Ain't you gonna open your gifts?" After most have already been surprised and what not, I still have my surprise to come. I appreciate the anticipation, because once it's over, it's over for another whole year.

The fact of the matter is is that some reporter somewhere over the rainbow---whether it be local or national---would have reported something on the Panthers if there was something to report.

Why blame the beat reporters for not reporting something when there isn't anything to report regarding free agency? Gettleman's way is patience and close to the vest.

And not that he is a free agent at this point, but if the Jags sign Thomas, I would expect them to drop Marcedes Lewis in this last year of his contract because they would get substantial savings in cap space. Lewis would immediately become someone that I would target in free agency if Ed Dickson signs with someone else. edit: 6.8 mil to be exact.

I wouldn't even pay Moore 4-8 mil per year. His play so far does not command that type of money. I figured we could get him around 2 to 2.5 mil per year. He doesn't have to be a 1000 yard receiver, just take some pressure off KB and Olsen, and make teams pay when they pressure the others. One of my main points with Moore is that he can give you what Torrey Smith will give you at a substantial discount, and even more. In my opinion, he is adept at running the entire route tree, where Smith is more of a one trick pony. This would make us much more secure if KB would ever get hurt. With KB, Olsen, Moore, and someone like Breshad Perriman or Nelson Agholor for example, Cam would have multiple weapons. Think what you want about Moore. You can't deny that he is explosive. You can't deny the talent. I have heard some experts call him a "tease". I have seen NFL.com refer to him as an "enigma". The kid has untapped potential, and would be a perfect bargain WR for this team. Proehl can unlock the "whip ass" in this kid. edit: BTW, you can tell when I am using my laptop vs. phone or pad because of all the errors.

Frank Gore & the Eagles are in serious talks. Possible deal as early as Tuesday.
