[fatpat1251]

Opps typo meant boldin but 49ers scoped him up this morning...

 

[mustbetheshoe58]

Skins might be going after Aqib Talib and Greg Toler....

i wouldn't mind getting Talib

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Percy Harvin is going to get 12 million a year the same way Flacco got 20

 

[dt43]

Exactly. If you look at the cap hits over the last 3 years of his deal, those numbers are obviously outlandish:

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/joe-flacco/

Baltimore will restructure his deal in 2016, you see this a lot with those big contracts. Someone posted a quote that of all the $100+ million contracts that have been given out, the most any player has actually received is $58 million (Favre). Flacco's guaranteed is somewhere around that so. yeah.

So yeah, it's all for show. His agent just wanted to be able to say that his client is the "highest paid player in NFL history" and rustle people's jimmies.

padding numbers

Flacco would have been better off taken the high road and taking "less" money for the sake of the team.

I mean in a perfect world, yeah. But I think I'd speak for most people when I say that if I just won a championship + SB MVP, you wouldn't be able to tell me ****. It's payday b*tch

Joe is still outchea though.. dudes been spotted eating at McD's and riding the bus like a regular dude

Arrelious Benn

Sports Whispers ‏@SportsWhispers
#NFL Bucs are Shopping WR Arrelious Benn. Jets, Rams, Chiefs, Vikings and Bills all inquired #SportsWhispers

Matt Cassell

Sports Whispers
#NFL Minnesota, Cleveland Oakland & Arizona have called the Chiefs about the availability of QB Matt Cassell #SportsWhispers

And now two of the more intriguing ones:

Jennings

Sports Whispers ‏@SportsWhispers
#NFL ~15 hours away from free agent signings becoming official, consensus is Welker re-signs w/ Pats, Jennings to Vikings & Wallace to Miami

Sports Whispers @SportsWhispers
@rio35232 Greg Jennings most likely target #SportsWhispers

Victor Cruz

gregg rosenthal @greggrosenthal
Doubt anyone will be wiling to give up $$ and a first for Cruz. The Giants know it

Evan Silva @evansilva
Agree. RT @gregrosenthal

Sports Whispers @SportsWhispers
@evansilva @greggrosenthal teams ARE considering this: Vikings and Rams


Sports Whispers @SportsWhispers
@scoutsout55 Dolphins interested in signing both Wallace & J.Cook. Vikings solely interested in Jennings but "kicking tires" on V.Cruz

Sports Whispers @SportsWhispers
#NFL Yes, the Vikings have also discussed internally WR Victor Cruz #SportsWhispers



And now for the real shocker:

Sports Whispers ‏@SportsWhispers
#NFL Jets do in fact have a very good offer to trade Revis on the table. Got the offer today.All signs point to the Vikings

Sports Whispers @SportsWhispers
@Luckydragon84 read my tweets from last week. Only one team asked Jets permission to speak with Revis' agents and it was the Vikings.

 

[niketalker23]

Funny you put Percy to Seattle but not Boldin to SF in the title..

Bias much?

 

[651akathepaul]

Yeah, that's hilarious.

 

[niketalker23]

Yeah, that's hilarious.

Stay bitter bro..

 

[651akathepaul]

You have no clue what you're talking about. Step off.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Paul- add it to the title so he will stop whinning

 

[651akathepaul]

There you go...Dry your eyes sissy.

 

[niketalker23]

Paul- add it to the title so he will stop whinning

My previous statement applies to you to.

I'm bitter? Ok







Whatever makes you sleep at night

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Look at these babies needing attention...

 

[dmxfury]

If a trade doesn't make the title, did it ever happen?

 

[jjs07]

Funny you add Percy to Seattle and Boldin to SF in the title, but make no mention of the Skins re-signing Kory Lichtensteiger.

Bias much?

[shox23]

So Leon Washington is available

 

[Retroballer]

Sam Shields got a second round tender. So he should be back in Green Bay.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Funny you didn't add my NFL Blitz 1995 trade for Tim Biankabatuka 615... Bias much?

 

[macbk]

As a Jets fan, I wouldn't be upset if you took out Garrard to NYJ from the title to make room for another move from a different team .

 

[Hahahaha]

Vikings looking at Jennings, Revis and possibly Cruz

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Vikings looking at Jennings, Revis and possibly Cruz

They'll land 1/3 at best.

Revis wants ~$15M

Jennings "wants" ~$14M but I cant see him getting more than $9M-$10M at the most

Cruz I'd imagine would be looking at $9M-$10M
