It's not that simple. Briggs can sit-out for half the season, which could seriously hurt their chances of doing anything, report for the last 8, half-ass it and keep hurting their chances, make $4M, and then become an UFA again.

We're DOOOMED. No wait, we're not. Then again, maybe we are? Or are we?

He doesn't.

I heard $21.5M is the amount of guaranteed money.

Harper is reportedly done visiting teams. That could either mean the Bills weren't interested (since he'll be 32 when the season starts) or he wasn't interested. In any case, cross him off the list. However June would be a good pickup and alleviate concerns at LB. As for DT, I'd sign the best run-stopping DT out there. The fewer holes going into the draft, the better.

From all accounts, his hip healed completely a year after his injury.

Better not have been for too much. And time to contact the agents for June, Scott, and Harper. It's getting close to draft time. Probably can get them cheap.

South Africa and 52 Something-bia's. There, done.

True dat, DOUBLE TRUE!

HD: Stallworth has talent to be sure. But that's not enough. As has been mentioned, he has attitude, injury, and substance abuse problems. There have been players with as many issues who have gotten big money deals in the recent past. Hell, Welker got almost 3 times as much guaranteed money as Stallworth, and the Pats traded picks away for him as well. So I wouldn't exactly call him a coveted FA WR, much less the top FA WR. Again the Pats taking-on a player like this is something that goes against what they've done in the past. As for having a much better roster than last year, debatable at best. Thomas may or may not prove to be all he is advertised, but the track record of Ravens defenders after they leave Baltimore is pretty well-established, and Rosey Colvin hasn't come close to duplicating what he did with the Bears. And the trade-off of Dillon for Morris (a player similar to Faulk), Troy Brown for Welker, and Graham for no one isn't exactly scary. Add to that Vrabel, Bruschi, and Harrison aging rapidly... Oh and the Pats were just as close, if not closer, to losing in the 2nd round (again) than they were to going to the SB (again). No more Marty to kick around, though and it looks like the Broncos are making serious moves to improve as well, and we all know how Shanahan has Belichick's number.

Klecko was with the Pats as a DL, MLB, and FB. They couldn't find a use for him so he was let-go. He played for the Colts last year and similarly was let-go. Doubt he ends-up being much, which is a shame given his bloodlines.

When's SJ gonna do some topless stuff? She's practically there in many photos.

I think Chris Brown could be a great RB if he could stay healthy for 16 games. His history however proves he cannot. Therefore you cannot count on him and that makes him worthless. He could go down on his first carry, or in the last game of the season. You just don't know. I'd rather go with a guy with lesser talent, but who can stay healthy. But only as a backup, drafting a rookie RB to be the #1 guy.

It was the "He heard it on the radio, thus, no link." immediate reply to Silent Bob who asked for a link. I guess I just took it in-context. As for Stallworth, you're kidding, right? The best he could get was the Pats' 1-year $3.6M offer? Remember that the Pats offered him this deal and he left and interviewed with other teams, none of whom offered him more. And the Pats added talent but also lost talent. As I've said, they've gone completely away from what they did previously, by going on a FA spending spree. Again I ask, will it work?

HD: It was your willingness to believe a obviously false rumor (kind of like the "Chris Brown to sign for a bajillion dollars" thread that infests the board today). If this was your idea of a big-time off-season WR addition, well then, congrats. Prognastic: The window is closing. Hence the spending spree. Will it be enough?

Six of one, half a dozen of another. None of the FA RB's impressed me. I'd just assume go with a rookie.

Woe is the team who signs Dillon. It better not be the Bills.

You might have had a better chance georgy, had you not posted such retarded numbers.

Does he "srsly suk" as much as Moss? I mean, I was literally drenched by the slobbering from your post after that trade rumor was posted.

He actually SAID this? With his numbers, he should be glad to latch-on with anyone. He's no better than Stallworth...without the drug and injury problems.

Wrong thread/forum, I think?

He'll be playing in the NHL.

Three minutes? What took you so long? Sux? Not when he's healthy, motivated, and not doing drugs...

Count on Ellison coming into next season bigger, stronger, and in better condition. Remember that rookies hit "the wall" the last 1/3 of the season, so the fact that Ellison looked good in the season-ender is a good sign.

Injury, attitude, and substance abuse problems. Not a good combo.
