That would be a sweet pickup!

Not too bad, they still have until 10pm and a lot of teams will be spending the afternoon making the tough decisions and announcing it tonight.

Exactly.

yup, or else they just waive their right to draft and take a big fine from the Commish.

Check out what it says about the Redskins....

The purging began in earnest Wednesday as more than a dozen players were released by their teams to create cap room. Some of the more notable names to receive their walking papers: Broncos defensive end Trevor Pryce and running back Mike Anderson; Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Sam Adams and safety Lawyer Milloy; Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Brentson Buckner and running back Stephen Davis; and Miami Dolphins cornerback Sam Madison and offensive tackle Damion McIntosh. "You ain't seen nothin' yet," an executive for an AFC team said Wednesday night. "By this time tomorrow, there could be another 200 players released. And that's probably a conservative estimate." The NFL owners will meet in New York Thursday to discuss the stalemated talks with the NFL Players Association. But the meeting isn't expected to accomplish much. The biggest obstacle to a new CBA is the owners' own differences over the issue of revenue-sharing, and the league said that subject won't even be broached at the meeting. Without a new CBA, teams will head into free agency with a much lower `06 salary-cap number (about $95 million) than the one they'd be operating with if there were a contract extension (between $105 million and $110 million). They'll also be operating under a restrictive set of rules regarding how contracts can be structured and what counts against this year's cap. Bottom line: There are a lot of teams in deep salary-cap doo-doo right now. According to league sources, 13 of the league's 32 teams were over the projected $95 million cap as of Wednesday. Another four were just $4 million or less under it, which isn't even enough cap space to sign all of their draft picks. Most of those teams have spent the week desperately trying to rework contracts to get their cap number down. If that doesn't work, their only alternative would be to release players. http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews...ts/13996174.htm

Our next starting SS..... Adam Archuleta

uhhh, it's not over. ESPN is still talking about it and so are many other networks. Jim Rome had the head coach on the radio today. That coach has also gotten interview requests from all over the world. I've heard that Disney has agreed to a contract from the kid and his family. There will be a movie. It's just a matter of when.

I hope you are right, but I wont hold my breath.

This is going to be exciting to watch unfold today and tomorrow.

Now we need a guy like Putzier. Our TEs are awful.

Hmmm, maybe they are trying to find a way to keep Eric. some last minute discussions? *praying*

I bet that their $2 million guess is without the money we are saving from cutting Mike Williams.

I'd take Anderson in a heartbeat! Shaud Williams SUCKS!

I wonder how many names that Marv is going to cut. I don't think it will just be Big Sam and Eric Moulds. I think we may see even more tonight. Bennie Anderson? Troy Vincent? Lawyer Milloy? Mark Campbell? Jeff Posey?

I like Putzier. He was a really good player a year ago and still made some nice plays this year. Trevor Pryce was good, but he is starting to show his age.

The Dolphins made their first significant cut of the offseason by releasing left tackle Damion McIntosh on Wednesday. The move saves the Dolphins $3.8 million against the salary cap. That includes a $500,000 roster bonus due later this month and $3.3 million in base salary. The Dolphins held talks with McIntosh and agent Brett Tessler about restructuring his contract. However, given the fluid nature of the collective bargaining agreement, the sides couldn't reach an agreement. http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sport...ll/13992057.htm

The financial reality caused in large part by the NFL's failed labor talks has hit home: The Denver Broncos released three prominent players today to comply with the salary cap in time for the start of free agency. Defensive end Trevor Pryce, running back Mike Anderson and tight end Jeb Putzier all will be looking for jobs when the NFL's new year begins later this week. Getting rid of the three players will result in a total salary-cap savings of $15 million for the team, including $8.53 million for Pryce, $3.9 million for Putzier and $2.57 million for Anderson. Because of the impasse between the league and players union on an extension of the collective-bargaining agreement, teams will have less wiggle room to keep their own players, and widescale cuts are expected around the league. Denver isn't expected to release any other players this week. http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/nfl/...4506110,00.html

Wow! It begins. The Dolphins also cut their starting LT, McIntosh.

I got the same feeling. I think Marv is trying to get under the cap a lot, so he can make some big moves and shake up the roster. Get rid of the washed up expensive players. Bye Big Sam! Bye Big Mike! Hopefully next is.... Bye Big Bennie! And then followed by Bye Troy Vincent!

That would be UB I bet.

I wish I shared your optimism.

I'm jumping on the Joe Jurevicious bandwagon now. Or maybe David Givens. Either way, we need a big receiver to complement Lee Evans.

I made sure I got him at his final Eric Moulds show taping. Phew.
