Let the JP Losman era officaly begin today! I'm ready!

Is there any americans that live in Miami?

Makes me wanna move to Miami. Such a great place to live.

Ward threatens to sit out of camp! Hines Ward stands up to Steelers

Did Eric have his 11 kids with him also?

Rb's are a dime a dozen, however great rb's are rare, and Mcgahee is gonna be great and get paid. Hopefully by us 392850[/snapback] Will see........ Everytime I see him get up he's grabbing his knee. Last year he seemed to need a rest quit often.

BTW - this is exactly the contract McGahee will get - he's a very similar back. Whether it's the Bills that give it to him remains to be seen. 392844[/snapback] Rb's are a dime a dozen, I doubt the Bills pay him what he wants.

The BEST Kiss song ever!

All signed and accounted for. Jets GM Terry Bradway kept his perfect record of never having a rookie holdout by signing K Mike Nugent this afternoon.

Cablelady is really a man!

All the practice squad players have been signed, yes.

Denver tried Teague at LT didn't they? Why don't we have a real true LT yet?

Pretty nasty uh?

Teague To Get Reps: OL coach Jim McNally said that Trey Teague will get four or five reps a practice at left tackle during training camp. This is to keep him acclimated to the position in case Mike Gandy falters at the position. Gandy goes into camp with it being his job to lose but there is some question if he is good enough to protect the quarterback's blindside. McNally appears confident in Gandy who was released by two teams last season while being slowed with a hamstring injury. Let us know who you think will be the starter at left tackle by answering our poll question on the homepage.

Welcome.

But remember he caught 4td's last year!

Maybe Roscoe can't see over the desk to sign the paperwork?

The deal is not done yet, that's all I'm reading out of that. Don't sweat it! Didn't we have a player last year or the year before that wasn't in camp on time?

The Steelers made Ward an offer that would make him the highest-paid player in their history, a contract that may include their highest signing bonus, according to a source close to the negotiations. He turned it down. He wants top ten money!

I don't think Hines will hold out, I think he's smarter than that. He knows this is his contract year. Will the Steelers pay him or let him walk after this year? Do we really wanna talk about the Steelers depth?

Stay out of them Chinese resturants that monkey meat will kill ya. money cat rat, whatever it is.

P.S. I don't think there is a tougher WR in the NFL than this guy! I know the Steeler fans just love this kid. It could be very interesting in Steeler land.

I see Hines Ward and the Steelers seem to be at odds. The USA Today has hines rated the #6 WR in the NFL. He's in his final year of his contract and wants an extension. He already turned down a very good offer from the Steelers. What you think, does he deserve top five money? I looked up his stats from last year and he only has 4 receiving TD's. But, this is coming from a rushing type of offense. Pittsburgh Steelers WR Ward turns down Steelers' offer Pro Bowler would have been highest-paid player in team history Thursday, July 28, 2005 By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Although they have not yet signed Hines Ward to a contract extension, the Steelers at least are trying to fulfill a promise to make their Pro Bowl wide receiver a priority. The Steelers made Ward an offer that would make him the highest-paid player in their history, a contract that may include their highest signing bonus, according to a source close to the negotiations. So far, Ward and his agents have turned them down. The source told the Post-Gazette the offer also would put Ward among a tier of receivers just below several of the highest paid in the league. The deal would include a signing bonus higher than the $8.1 million quarterback Kordell Stewart received in 1999. Although quarterback Ben Roethlisberger reportedly received a $9 million signing bonus as part of his rookie contract, some analysts peg it closer to $7.8 million in what technically would be a true signing bonus. But even if it were $9 million, the bonus the Steelers have offered Ward is close to it. No other contract details, including length and total, were provided. Ward and his agents have countered in negotiations that the four-time Pro Bowler should be paid relative to where he ranks among NFL receivers and not based on what the Steelers have paid their players in the past. A number of receivers the past several years have received signing bonuses of more than $10 million. His agents, Eugene Parker and Roosevelt Barnes, have taken a stance that Ward should be paid among the best wide receivers in the game, although they have not asked for him to be the highest paid. Ward, who has one year left at $1,668,750 on a contract he signed in the summer of 2001, made the past four Pro Bowls and shattered many of the Steelers receiving records during that time. Three times he surpassed the Steelers' previous record of 85 receptions in a season with a high of 112 in 2002. His 505 career receptions are second only to John Stallworth's 537 in club history. Ward, who lives in Atlanta, is scheduled to make a promotional appearance today in Pittsburgh and also was to talk to some coaches about his situation. Parker has declined to predict whether Ward will report to training camp on time Sunday.

Mine was just done recently. The last time it was done was 10 years ago.

An appraisal should not make your taxes go up, right? It's when the assessor comes and does an assessment on your house. That should happen every 3-5 years.
