They've been talking about this potentially going down in the papers for a dew days now.

Since it's official, can I get a little help...

Haven't really seen him play much since his Iowa State days. 

What's the scoop on him?  Can he actually throw it pretty decent (I know he can run)?  I don't think Mike would bring him in if he didn't have some faith in him.  I'm hoping he can just be a quality backup for us...
Supposedly DA will be GONE before training camp at the latest via trade (if we even can anymore

) or cutting him loose.

OchoCinco + Ocho Uno...ahh man I cant wait if this +++% does happen

We too don't know much about Arnaz Battle because we had terrible QBs while he was a 49er. As far as him being a kick returner.. don't count on starting beyond the 20 yard line.

Yessssssssssss!!!! Chris Houston has been traded!

Apparently Rhys Lloyd is a Viking now. Signed to be the kickoff specialist since the only gripe about Longwell is that he can't kick it into the end zone of a tee.

As of an hour ago, I am a Viking. Gonna miss Charlotte and the people. Next chapter begins now. about 1 hours ago via Echofon

[h1]Vikings "appear to have interest" in LaDainian Tomlinson[/h1]
Posted by Mike Florio on March 8, 2010 10:45 PM ET
When the Chargers cut running back LaDainian Tomlinson, we immediately pointed out the possibility of one Texas native joining forces with another Texas native who plays tailback in Minnesota.

Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that the Vikings "appear to have interest" in the 2006 NFL MVP.

Zulgadalso writes that the Vikings "aren't believed to have expressedinterest" in veteran tailback Brian Westbrook, who played for theEagles when Vikings coach Brad Childress served as the offensivecoordinator in Philadelphia.

Before the Vikings act on thatinterest, they'll need to determine whether Tomlinson is interested inbeing a backup to Adrian Peterson.  L.T. might want to exhaust anyopportunities to be the lead dog elsewhere before accepting a backuprole.

Because Tomlinson was cut, the Vikings are free to sign him without regard to the rules of the "Final Eight Plan."

If this actually happens

 

[gunna get it]

Lions sign CB J.Wade

 

[bruce waynee]

Leon Washington to the niners???

 

[mr fizzy womack]

a jets guy

said: "this is nothing more than (mike) florio, who's a complete bozo, running propaganda for Washington's agent, Alvin Keels, at this point...

Keels looks like a major @%%%*$% for not taking the Jets offer prior to the injury and is trying to save face....tak it to the bank..."

I'm trusting the source.

More Peppers Contract Stuff:

[h1]Bears can pull the plug on Peppers after one year

[/h1]

We mentioned earlier tonight some of the details relating to the Julius Peppers deal.  We've picked up some more information about the contract, and it's now clear that if the Bears clean house after the 2010 season, it'll be easier for the new regime to bid Peppers adieu.

As Peter King of SI.com pointed out this afternoon, Peppers gets $20 million in 2010 (all but a $100,000 workout bonus is guaranteed).  But the $22 million in guaranteed money that he's due to receive in 2011 and 2012 is guaranteed for injury only.

This means that the Bears can decide after the 2010 season to cut Peppers for skill reasons -- and they'll owe him nothing.

Specifically, Peppers' 2011 base salary of $900,000 is guaranteed for injury at the time it's signed; on February 10, 2011, it becomes guaranteed for skill.  Also, a $10.5 million roster bonus due in 2011 is guaranteed for injury at signing.  On February 10, 2011, it becomes guaranteed for skill. 

An $8.9 million base salary in 2012 is guaranteed for injury at signing and then for skill as of February 10, 2012. 

Finally, $1.8 million of Peppers' 2013 base salary is guaranteed for injury only.

So, basically, if the Bears decide before February 10, 2011 that Peppers isn't what they thought he'd be, they can treat it as a one-year, $20 million deal, and walk away.

Also, by our calculations the actual guarantee is $42.0 million, which comes from a $6.5 million signing bonus, a $12.5 million roster bonus in 2010, a $900,000 guaranteed base salary in 2010, a $10.5 million guaranteed roster bonus in 2011, a $900,000 guaranteed base salary in 2011, a guaranteed base salary of $8.9 million in 2012, and a $1.8 million base salary guarantee in 2013.

Still, only $19.9 million of the money is guaranteed for skill.  If the new coach and G.M. decide that Peppers doesn't have enough of it to justify the remaining money, Peppers could be out of more than $22 million that supposedly is destined to land in his bank account.

And there's also a chance that Peppers could be in trouble even if the current regime survives.  If the Bears get to the postseason without much of a contribution from Peppers, coach Lovie Smith and G.M. Jerry Angelo likely will be back.  But maybe they'll decide to cut their losses on Peppers.

If nothing else, Peppers still has a reason to try to play hard, and the Bears did a great job of structuring the deal to allow themselves the opportunity to declare that the move was a mistake -- and to avoid more than $22 million in guaranteed compensation.

Arnaz hasn't been that effective on ST since like 2004?

Year after year he has been buried behind no-name receivers and when he did get on the field he would end up .... injured.

Last season was a struggle watching him return punts. He didn't average more than 3 yards / punt returns

and he had a couple fumbles with some muffs.

 

[krazy88s]

I heard Arnaz was special teams standout in SF.

Whatever it takes to fix our ST, which absolutely putrid.

Like 7 returned touchdowns last year?

Singlehandedly lost games for us.

 

[CP1708]

Did the Steelers sign Randle El to play WR or QB though? 

Low blow, I know. 

 

[TheGift23]

Good riddance,  L.

 

[dmxfury]

CP, maybe both?!
