  1. I think the dumping of Faneca was related solely to money; not an endorsement of Ducasse. Can't keep everybody, and the Jets are ultra-cash strapped with debt up to their eyeballs as one of the most (if not the most) leveraged team in the NFL. It's the forthcoming financial apocalypse. The Jets have to go all in. They desperately need to sell as many tickets as possible to offset the stratospheric debt. If the Jets tank on the field, that will seriously cripple the entire organization and their ability to pay talent going forward.

     

    I know we talk primarily about what happens on the field, but in this economy, teams are winning and losing off the field as well. If teams aren't going to get the ticket sales, that debt has to be paid somehow, and that will likely translate in spending less on the field over the next five years. It will be financially-induced rebuilding.

     

    If you're the Bills, with zero debt, that presents an opportunity to get stronger on the field.

  2. Schefter continues down a perilous road for his career. Instead of reporting news, he's creating it and being *it*. That's great if you run your own blog, but it only takes a few major whiffs and a few calls from NFL front offices to get the networks and the NFL Network to start taking notice of your lack of credibility and increasing liability as "just another guy".

  3. I think that the Cards are not ready to pull the plug on the QB's they have now... Leinert and Anderson will battle this year and they will be our competition for a QB next year.

     

    Oh I do. They don't have a window of losing a year to the tomfoolery of Leinart and Anderson behind Center. I think they will be definitely looking for a QB before the beginning of the season, most specifically Sage Rosenfels.

     

    Fitzpatrick? Ehh. Only if Plans A and B fall through.

  4. I don't know what to think about the Washington story. It's intriguing that a national media source such as ESPN writes an in-depth, positive article on a guy who is a convicted sex offender.

     

    It intrigues me that no NFL team, playing in a win at all costs league, will not kick the tires on the guy. If you consider all of the other pure garbage players bring (spousal abuse, dogs, attempted murder, DUI, manslaughter) to the league, and the league tolerates, it decides to draw the line on the sand for this guy, who's crime was previous to his entry in the league.

     

    I just don't get it. Things don't add up here. It makes you wonder if NFL Security did it's homework, and there's something there, something ominous and radioactive that we all don't know.
