Good.

Didn't want to sign anyone on the first day anyway.

So there.

 

[superpunk]

I'm hearing this was our plan all along. Calm down folks, it's all under control.

Robert Meachum to the Chargers.

He's about to come into his own as a wide receiver.

Guarantee he has a better season than Vincent Jackson.

 

[Midswat]

Oh, and New Orleans is retarded for giving 2 Microfracture Surgery Colston that huge contract, and letting Meachum leave.

Jacksonville Jaguars Re-Sign Jeremy Mincey

Norv's offense compared to Tampa's, hell yeah. Meachum should also be a nice fantasy pickup this year.

Vikings starting free-agent guard Anthony Herrera is visiting the Chicago Bears today.

It is unbelievable how many people at the Zone that act as though they have inside information.

It is equally unbelievable how many times they are wrong, or otherwise off base, yet still get a pass by their peers.

"I'm a forum admin and manager of an apartment complex, but I'm hearing we signed Kyle Orton!"

Interesting. The 49ers were thought to be the leader for him. Wonder if they up their interest in Carr now?

Might be an awkward time to mention, but just got off the phone with one of
my sources and he/she is saying that Terrance Newman will try to hook up (snicker) with Zimmer in Cinci now.

Lombardi intimated on NFLTA that teams around the league felt Carr would ultimately sign with us and that they generally look in other directions once Jerry gets a FA in the building.

That site also promotes “believe everything you are told” mentality vs the “question everything” mentality. Especially from people who have a horrible track history. They proudly thumped their chest saying “so and so” player is signed. Here we are, next day still waiting while the cornerback markets has dried up.

If Carr goes to visit SF, he won't sign in Dallas. Harbaugh has too strong and likeable of a personality. Especially now that he got a sample of douchebag Garrett first.

Carr probably had nightmares last night about “the process” and “stacking days on top of days”. Told his agent “get me the fuck outta here!”

Tampa Bay reached agreement with former Saints guard Carl Nicks on a five-year, $47.5 million deal including $31 million guaranteed.

 

[UVAwahoos]

Did Dallas even attempt to get this guy? That's a reasonable deal. WTF.

Tampa is doing well with all that capspace

If he leaves it says alot about Garrett-Ryan

It would be two years in a row we missed out on a guy we are dying to have.

I really hope he signs thus morning or we are in big trouble.

I don’t know, these kids respond to money. Cowboys just need to pay up and move to other issues. He is not coming cheap and i think everyone already knew that.
