Solid off-season thus far. Just need to re-sign Pat Sims, which sounds like is coming. Now we definitely have flexibility in the draft. Kendall Wright and Stephen Gilmore in round 1 would be perfect.

[/h1][h1]Three years, $9 million for Green-Ellis[/h1]

Well, veteran running backs officially are the new kickers.
The three-year deal recently signed by Bengals running back BenJarvus
Green-Ellis has a base value, according to a league source, of $9 million.
Making it worth $3 million per year.
And matching the annual average of the contracts signed last year by Panthers
kicker Olindo
Mare and Vikings kicker Ryan
Longwell.
It doesn’t make it a bad deal for GreenEllis. It’s arguably the best deal of
any of the veteran running back contracts signed since free agency opened.
He’ll get $4 million in the first year, he can make another $1.6 million via
mostly reasonable triggers, and (unlike Michael
Bush and his $3.5 million annual average) GreenEllis won’t be backing up Matt
Forte.
And so with Bush getting $3.5 million per year from the Bears and GreenEllis
getting $3 million per year and Peyton
Hillis getting $2.6 million on a one-year deal in Kansas City, and Mike Tolbert
averaging $2.5 million over four with the Panthers, the guys who run with the
football may have been better off if they’d learned to kick it.
Just ask Phil
Dawson. The 37-year-old Browns kicker will make $3.8 million in
2012.

Righty/lefty wobbly attempts for everybody. Jet receivers won't lead the league in drops, they gonna lead the league in "man, @*$% that's"
Vet running backs are the new kickers

Always liked Barber. Thought he would've made a better pro than what he turned out to be. That reminds me....Where's Maroney?
Anyway, I can always respect a professional football player's decision to retire "early." I just hope he saved his money and doesn't try getting back into it three years from now.

Man the Pats dumped Maroney on the Broncos back in 2010 and I haven't heard from him since. Always felt like
I was waiting on him to get really good but it just never happened. That's probably New England's offense more than
his actual talent.

Much rather have Bush at 4/$14 than "The Law Firm" at 3/$9.
Stanton got his wish.
Avery could be a good deep threat for Luck.
Any chance at all Indy pulls a shocker and goes RG3 over Luck?

^ RGIII's pro day was supposedly amazing & the Colts were on site to see so who knows. I saw someone's mock draft having them pick him but we'll see. Conventional wisdon says the Colts pick Luck but Irsay certa crazy like his pops so there's a slim chance he could pick RGIII instead. Imagine the shock that would generate though...I know my jaw would be hanging at floor level if it did...

If I'm a GM, I'm taking RGIII and I wouldn't think twice about it.

Zyzz, you're the only one who doesn't see the potential for RG3 to be selected by Indy. Dungy was the first to say it publicly, but there's certainly something to the argument in favor of RG3.
Agreed, PSK. Indy will most likely still go Luck, but they must do their due diligence on RG3.
Paul, I'm starting to lean in that direction as well. I was pro-Luck for #1 overall from the start based on the tape. Arm strength is overrated but we can't ignore the reports that Luck may have moderate arm strength. RG3's arm strength is unquestioned and his deep ball accuracy is ridiculously pinpoint. Both QBs are mobile but RG3 obviously has the advantage in that area as well.

rg3 has a chance to be a suped up steve young..
this dude is a plus 70% passer to go with that unworldly athletic ability.. only thing that makes me feel better about him going to the ******** is that they wont have draft picks or money to put talent around him

^ I don't want him on the Skins since we're both Eagles fans. Would definitely still like to add Kuechly or an OLB in the first two rounds of the draft.
