JONES HEADING TO PHILLY?
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 15, 2008, 11:28 a.m.

Running back Kevin Jones, who became an unrestricted free agent when the Lions cut him this week, says the Eagles are among 12 teams that have expressedinterest in signing him.

And Jones, a native of Chester, Pennsylvania, says he's very interested in signing with Philadelphia.

"When the Lions drafted me, it came as a big shock, because they weren't that much in the picture," Jones says, per the Philadelphia Daily News."It wasn't my dream situation. It would be a dream, however, to play for the Eagles. Going back to Philly, with all my relatives and friends backthere, that's home to me. Chester will always be home to me. I have a real support system there in Philadelphia. Playing for the Eagles would begreat."

Jones is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in his right knee in December, which could cause him to miss the start of the 2008 season. He missed the startof the 2007 season while recovering from a Lisfranc injury in his left foot that he suffered in 2006.

If Jones were to sign with the Eagles, his job would be to back up starter Brian Westbrook, which he says he would be happy to do.

"Are you kidding me? That would be awesome," Jones said. "I'd love to play with Brian Westbrook. He's one of the best backs, if not thebest back in the league. I definitely wouldn't mind doing that. I can learn some things from Brian Westbrook."

Ok so Texans signed Chris Brown, so it looks like they're retreading another old Rb instead of drafting one in a class full of potentially great rbs

At some point they have to score TDs right

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

They are gonna keep on relying on Dre for their points.....

Chris Brown + Ahman Green? Good lord, that's an injury waiting to happen... I wonder who the next Wali Lundy is going to be for Houston

Hall
The Atlanta Falcons have reached an agreement in principle with the Oakland Raiders to trade cornerback DeAngelo Hall for the Raiders' second-round pick in the 2008 draft, pending the Raiders finalizing a contract with Hall, according to a source close to the Falcons.
Hall is close to agreeing to a contract with the Raiders that will pay him just below what Asante Samuel signed with the Eagles, according to the source. Samuel signed a six-year deal worth a reported $57 million, with $20 million guaranteed.
Hall is a former first-rounder taken with the eighth pick in the 2004 draft.

Another star goes to die in Oakland

 

[starkey luv]

What number will he wear in Oakland?

 

[beatjunkie5]

^ #22?? 20?? 31? pfft iunno...

Our secondary is lookin 10x better than it did at the end of the season with the addition of Wilson and Hall now...Asomugha and Hall as our two startingcorners?? thats nasty...Hall was fallin off towards the end of the season but there's no doubt he's still a good player...i think now the main focusfor our team will be to add depth and and better players to the offensive and defensive line and I think we'll be on our way to hopefully a .500 season.

We still need WR's, no doubt...Javon Walker i'm not sure will be no the answer...we don't know how his knee will play out and Ronald Curry will notbe a good #1 WR...

edit:: lol I can understand why ya'll hate on the Raiders picking up some big name players and think they just fall off...but Warren Sapp?? Sure hewasn't the same player he was in TB but he wasn't a BAD player either...I think he pulled his own for his age and did a pretty good job holdin down theD for us...Moss? That was the worse situation for both the Raiders and Moss to be in, "injuries" were apart of the problem and Art Shell didn'tknow what the hell was goin on and I don't blame Moss for playin like +$@% when he was here...other than those two, no other players come to mind whosecareers we *%@+%# up

Raiders have built a nice solid foundation...they were in a lot of close games last season that could've easily pulled our way if not for mistakes...andwith the acquisition of some of these players they are only going to get better.

 

[marleysprotege]

im sorry but any decent talent going to oakland is a waste for the NFL ... that hall deal pisses me off

[h1]Pro Day workout updates[/h1]
By Gil Brandt | NFL.com

In between the combine and the NFL Draft, NFL coaches and personnel -- not to mention the prospects themselves -- turn their attention to the various college "Pro Day" workouts. These are not as all-encompassing as the combine, but they are important enough for the key decision-makers in the league to travel around the country for more than a month to see the talent up close and personal. NFL.com's Gil Brandt has his sources at each of these workouts and will update this Pro Day scouting report on a daily basis:
[h3]Michigan (March 14)[/h3]
There were 31 teams in attendance -- Denver being the only team not present -- including Lions head coach Rod Marinelli and Chargers GM A.J. Smith. Ten Prospects took part, including OT Jake Long, WR Mario Manningham and QB Chad Henne.

» WR Mario Manningham (5-11 3/8, 183): Ran a 4.44 and a 4.38 in the 40, had a 35-inch vertical jump, ran a 4.38 short shuttle and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else.

» RB Mike Hart (5-9, 209): Had a 32-inch vertical jump, ran a 4.33 short shuttle, a 6.91 cone drill and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else. He had a good workout and caught the ball well.

Among the 75 NFL people from all 32 teams in attendance were Chiefs president Carl Peterson. Ravens DB coach Chuck Pagano was there to get a closer look at CB Aqib Talib, and nine OL coaches were there to see Anthony Collins. Prospects ran indoors on Astroturf.

» CB Aqib Talib (6-0 7/8, 197): Since the combine, Talib has been working out at Michael Johnson's speed training facility, and it showed here. After running the 40 in 4.46 and 4.53 in Indy, his 40 times for this workout were 4.42 and 4.44. He ran position drills, but kept all his other numbers from the combine.

[h3]Oklahoma (March 11)[/h3]
Oklahoma is one of the favorite stops for NFL scouts on the Pro Day circuit -- partly because Oklahoma's Jerry Schmitt gets them in and out in short order and partly because they serve up some great barbecue to their guests. Of course, it doesn't hurt that there are several serious prospects worth seeing. Therefore, there were a total of 80 NFL scouts representing all 32 teams on hand -- among them were Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan and Rams VP/personnel Tony Softli. Twelve players worked out, indoors on a Field Turf surface. Much to the chagrin of the scouts however, DB Reggie Smith and WR Malcolm Kelly skipped the Pro Day workouts and instead it was announced they would hold a separate workout on April 9. Of course, a lot of NFL personnel folks will be much busier at that time putting together their draft boards.

» LB Curis Lofton (6-0 3/8, 243): Ran the 40 in 4.69 and 4.68, had a 32-inch vertical jump, 4.66 short shuttle, 7.74 cone drill, ran position drills and kept his numbers from the combine for everything else.

[h3]Washburn (March 11)[/h3]
The scouts wanted to see Cary Williams, a tall corner who has some speed and ability, and could be a late-round draft pick. Workout was held indoors on a Astroturf field at the University of Kansas.

"Experts"

 

[TheGift23]

I'll be

if we don't get a DE with our 1st round pick.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Dudes got packers spending a 1st round pick on a QB

"Brett Favre retired right?? They MUST need a QB!!!!!!!!!!!"


and some of the CB's they have falling almost out of the 1st

 

[jmause3]

Nice to see all the pro day stuff. But Gatlin might as well give it up.

 

[truthmain]

Joka.

 

[nightruans]

im pissed dhall to the trash raiders... i wanted him to come to ny

 

[beatjunkie5]

I don't see the Raiders taking McFadden with the 4th pick...if Chris Long or Jake Long arn't there then I think the Raiders will trade down for morepicks after picking up D. Hall and having only 1 pick in the first 3 rounds...they probably will trade with the Cowboys for there first two picks allowingMcFadden to go to the Cowboys...

Well, Eagles fans... I think that leaves you with these options:
Antonio Chatman
D.J. Hackett
Terrance Copper
Taylor Jacobs

[h2]Panthers | Team agrees to terms with Hackett[/h2]
Adam Caplan, of Scout.com, reports the Carolina Panthers agreed to a two-year deal worth $3.5 million with free-agent WR .J. Hackett (Seahawks) Monday, March 17.
