KSK's Rex Ryan posts are actually better than their old Mike Vick ones. The Sinners post has to go down as one of my all-time favorites, and not just because it involves my favorite team.
BTW, the Saints got Alex Brown (formerly of the Bears) to replace Charles "My kids gotta eat" Grant.
And he's one of like three receivers in the league who would be worth even a second, according to GMs. GMs are dumb.
Oh, I know, I'm just saying it is patently ridiculous in the face of that evidence.
He's the best thing to come out of the Denny Green era, we really didn't need receivers at the time, but he was perhaps the best talent remaining at the time.
Edit: Forgot how stacked that draft was.

The fuck? Holmes for a 5th? Really? No idea what the Steelers are thinking.

Receivers aren't worth nothing, especially not Super Bowl MVP receivers. Remember, the Broncos are looking for a first for Marshall and the Jets got Edwards last year for about a 2nd I believe.
The issue with Holmes is his character. Steelers decided they were fed up and just took their best shot to get rid of him quick.

Contract expires end of the season, and facing a suspension for a quarter of the season. So trading him isn't so much the thing, so much as why to the Jets and only for a 5th rounder? I see Braylon and Cotchery on the Jets depth chart, and while those guys aren't great, there are teams out there with basically no wide receivers. The Dolphins are one team that immediately come to mind as a team that could be much better if they had a WR... although Holmes is a deep threat and Pennington's arm sucks, but you know.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Just because Moss was traded for a 4th rounder doesn't mean he was worth a 4th rounder. Watch the Jaguars with Garrard at QB and nobody at WR and tell me WRs don't make a difference. Or a million other examples if you want more listed.
Steve Smith at 31 years old would still be worth a high second round pick. Of course, I found it hilarious that PFT was reporting that Leon Washington MIGHT still be a part of this trade as a "player to be named later" once he finally signs his RFA tender... I mean damn, this isn't baseball!
Jets are playing a lot of free agency games this off season. It will be interesting to see what they do at the draft. I wonder if they'll package draft picks so they have less picks but higher.
What gets me the most is the Steelers have become much more pass reliant recently (as opposed to the run heavy we're used to) and they up and trade arguably their best receiver for what seems like the first offer. Character issues aside. They sure are putting a lot of faith into Wallace now.

Well they've really taken care of their big needs. They have a corner to compliment Revis. They have a receiver for Sanchez to throw to now. Their O line is solid, the D line is gonna get Kris Jenkins back from injury and the D itself was awesome last year. They replaced Thomas Jones with LT, we'll see if that was a good move when the season starts. They're still after Jason Taylor, who plans to make a decision this week. So they have the option to trade up, or just sit and take the best player available.
Well basically my idea stems that since they've played so much in Free Agency that they might package their multitude of picks for a couple high ranking ones and try to make another big splash with say, 2-3 guys instead of 7-9 guys.
Or they could go the reverse and trade down and try to gather as many picks as possible. But for some reason, I feel like the first scenario is more likely.
ESPN says Roffleburger won't be charged. I have a feeling he won't be suspended either, even though other players such as Pacman Jones were suspended before charges were filed in their respective cases.
And you thought QBs were over-protected on the field.

ben's lucky he's white.
I'm divided on whether it's a race thing or a star thing. When the story about Mike Vick's dogfighting broke, Vick wasn't officially suspended until after he pled guilty in August 2007. However, Goodell banned Vick from attending training camp in July - a de facto suspension at a time when Vick was still technically considered innocent.
Like Ben, Vick was:
- a QB with a 9-figure contract.
- successful. Granted no SBs, but Vick was a 3x Pro Bowler.
- a star. One of the league's most popular players, his major sponsors included Coke and Nike, and he was on the cover of Madden.
And Ben is all those things, being accused of sexual assault, yet Goodell waited for the law to be involved. Where with Vick, he did not.
Was being accused. Not much you can do when they dropped the charges. As for Vick I think the whole media circus and public outcry was why Goodell seemed ban happy.

i suppose it could also have something to do with the accused's team.

The Buccaneers have by far the worst WR corps in the league. Since Antonio Bryant left we're featuring Michael Clayton, a WR known for his blocking and also his stone hands, Maurice Stovall, who was supposed to be good but has underachieved and was mostly used on special teams, and Sammie Stroughter, perhaps the lone bright spot. Seventh rounder out of Oregon State. He's a prototypical slot guy.
You know what annoys me the most about the Santonio Holmes trade? The fact that any team would have, and could have, done this trade. Many teams probably said the same thing when the Pats got Moss, but fuck. A late 5th rounder for a potential 1 or 1A receiver? That's piddly shit. I wanna know why he went to the Jets and not anywhere else.

Oh, and Mark Bradley.
Another Buccaneer fan? Hell fucking yes! As for wide outs im hoping some of the good ones slide to us in round 2.Personally I just started ignoring the fact that Clayton is still on the team. It turns out that its surprisingly easy to ignore people that contribute nothing.

What happened to Clayton? Didn't he catch 90 passes as a rookie or something? Then he just vanished.

Maybe Holmes made it known he wanted to go to the Jets. That seems to be the hot spot this offseason.

He blamed Gruden for his lack of production and suddenly forgetting how to catch. Logically this meant that they should resign him to a big contract based off nothing whatsoever.

And you thought QBs were over-protected on the field.
Goodell's a bad commissioner but its because of his anti defense rules and this abortion of a new overtime. He isn't racist.
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
And his trade is CLEARLY due to the blatant racism of his head coach.
....
....what?
ben's lucky he's white.
I think there is a rule that you have to be a good QB to get preferential treatment. Garrad is beyond terrible.
