[b]Packers | Signs point to Favre returning[/b]
Fri, 17 Mar 2006 17:41:12 -0800

Rick Braun, of the [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/188"]Milwaukee Journal Sentinel[/url], believes [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/17/nfl"]Green Bay Packers[/url] QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/764/nfl"]Brett Favre[/url] will return for the 2006 season and is just looking for a reason to return to the team. He feels that if Favre really was going to retire, he would have done so by now. Favre has gone about this offseason with his normal routine of golfing, hunting, and mowing his lawn.

[b]Ravens | Team may wait until after NFL Draft to pursue a QB[/b]
Fri, 17 Mar 2006 20:13:46 -0800

[url="http://www.kffl.com/link/170"]Jamison Hensley[/url], of the [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/169"]Baltimore Sun[/url], reports the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/8/nfl"]Baltimore Ravens[/url] have to decide when to pursue another veteran quarterback. They can wait another month to see what happens to [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/36/nfl"]Tennessee Titans[/url] QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/1876/nfl"]Steve McNair[/url] or begin to pursue free agent QBs [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/1295/nfl"]Kerry Collins[/url] (Raiders) and [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/602/nfl"]Brian Griese[/url] (Buccaneers) right now. According to a league source, the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/8/nfl"]Ravens[/url] have discussed the possibility of not adding a veteran quarterback until after the [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/160"]NFL draft[/url], which is the earliest the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/36/nfl"]Titans[/url] would consider cutting McNair. There is not a clear consensus within the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/8/nfl"]Ravens[/url] on either Collins or Griese, the source said. Also, there's no guarantee that the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/36/nfl"]Titans[/url] will cut McNair.


mcnair isn't getting cut, i'd pursue collins ASAP as he's the only clear starter left and he'd be pretty cheap.

[b]Vikings | Childress says Culpepper all about the money[/b]
Fri, 17 Mar 2006 21:41:42 -0800

Harvey Fialkov, of the [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/167"]Sun-Sentinel[/url], reports in Friday's edition, March 17, of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, first-year [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/23/nfl"]Minnesota Vikings[/url] head coach [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/8309/nfl"]Brad Childress[/url] said what QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/1120/nfl"]Daunte Culpepper[/url] was seeking was more money and lots of it. "Somewhere there is a buy-in factor. I just didn't think that was the case," Childress said. "Right from the beginning. As I mentioned, I never had a conversation with him about this football team. It was always about what he needed financially and money. I never heard team, I always heard me and I and, 'I need $10 million. I'm a $10 million-dollar-a-year quarterback.'"





finally, some better smack.

[b]Packers | Favre's bonus date extended[/b]
Fri, 17 Mar 2006 22:19:33 -0800

[url="http://www.kffl.com/link/187"]Tom Silverstein[/url], of the [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/188"]Milwaukee Journal Sentinel[/url], reports [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/17/nfl"]Green Bay Packers[/url] QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/764/nfl"]Brett Favre[/url] has had his bonus date extended to a specific date, according to an [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl"]NFL[/url] source with contract information. The source did not know what date the new deadline is, but it is likely that will be the date the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/17/nfl"]Packers[/url] will expect a decision from Favre on his future with the team. If Favre retires, the team will gain nearly $8 million in salary cap space.


$8mill could buy you a couple starters...

[b]Dolphins | Frerotte unhappy with way things ended with team[/b]
Sat, 18 Mar 2006 08:28:26 -0800

Harvey Fialkov, of the Miami [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/167"]Sun-Sentinel[/url], reports [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/34/nfl"]St. Louis Rams[/url] QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/392/nfl"]Gus Frerotte[/url] is unhappy with the way the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/22/nfl"]Miami Dolphins[/url] handled his release from the team. Frerotte said, "Personally, I don't think things were handled the right way. After playing 16 games, winning nine after they only won [four] the year before, and then to just kind of be put on the back burner, that was kind of tough." Frerotte was released shortly after the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/22/nfl"]Dolphins[/url] acquired QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/1120/nfl"]Daunte Culpepper[/url] from the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/23/nfl"]Minnesota Vikings[/url].

[b]Lions | Harrington sabotaged team's "quarterback school"[/b]
Sat, 18 Mar 2006 10:41:45 -0800

Tom Kowalski, of MLive.com, reports [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/16/nfl"]Detroit Lions[/url] QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/660/nfl"]Joey Harrington[/url] played a big role in getting the team to agree to release or trade him. Several people close to the situation claim Harrington sabotaged his appearance during the team's "quarterback school" with offensive coordinator [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/1983/nfl"]Mike Martz[/url]. During classroom sessions, Harrington put forth little effort when asked to go to the board to break down plays. He was very lethargic and uncooperative during the sessions and Martz quickly realized Harrington had no desire to be there.

Damn. Way to sell yourself on the open market Joey. It's not like you're TO and have at least proven something on the field

Re: FA QB mama-drama (3/14)
 

that's what i thought... then again his whole team hates him anyways (then again, maybe this kind of sh*t is the reason why).

what was he thinking? If i bomb here, someone else will hand me a starting job? He was on even footing with the lions and would have had a shot to win it back, but now he's going to have to go be a backup (for sure) for at least a couple years.

[b]Lions | Team checking into trade possibilities for Harrington[/b]
Sun, 19 Mar 2006 06:10:10 -0800

Mike O'Hara, of the Detroit News, reports the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/16/nfl"]Detroit Lions[/url] are checking to see if any team may be interested in trading for disgruntled QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/660/nfl"]Joey Harrington[/url]. O'Hara estimates the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/16/nfl"]Lions[/url] could receive a fourth- or fifth-round draft pick in exchange for Harrington.





WAAAAA??? apparently they haven't been paying very close attention to reality. unlike ramsey, harrington's team HATES him and (also unlike ramsey) he's going to be owed a 4+mill bonus if he isn't dropped soon.

[b]Dolphins | Team to visit with Maddox[/b]
Sun, 19 Mar 2006 19:01:05 -0800

Jason Cole, of the Miami Herald, reports the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/22/nfl"]Miami Dolphins[/url] will visit with free agent QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/1533/nfl"]Tommy Maddox[/url] (Steelers) Tuesday, March 21. Agent Vann McElroy said Maddox has also received interest from Oakland and Cincinnati, but the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/22/nfl"]Dolphins[/url] situation may be the most intriguing because [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/7754/nfl"]Mike Mularkey[/url] is now the offensive coordinator.


[b]Bears | Team begins Griese visit[/b]
Sun, 19 Mar 2006 21:01:42 -0800

John Mullin and K.C. Johnson, of the Chicago Tribune, report the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/11/nfl"]Chicago Bears[/url] began their visit with free agent QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/602/nfl"]Brian Griese[/url] (Buccaneers) Sunday, March 19. The visit is expected to continue into Monday, March 20. Griese has maintained he will be healthy by training camp as he recovers from last season's knee injury. The [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/11/nfl"]Bears[/url] are looking to sign a veteran quarterback likely to supplant QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/11298/nfl"]Kyle Orton[/url] as the backup and for insurance should starting QB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/5889/nfl"]Rex Grossman[/url] suffer another injury. Griese's best option may be a one-year deal that allows him to demonstrate his recovery and possibly play his way into another long-term deal beginning in 2007.

Re: FA QB mama-drama (3/14)
 

Does anyone here think Harrington is worth more than Patrick?

I lean towards "hell no." but i think my bias may be showing.

Re: FA QB mama-drama (3/14)
 

harrington has no leadership skills and apparently very poor people skills as well.

Re: FA QB mama-drama (3/14)
 

Here is my prediction.... Ramsey has learned more from Gibbs in the last couple of years than he did his whole time with Spurrier. He will be given a shot in NY and will replace Pennigton as the starter before too long. Harrington is a joke. I think Harrington has had more talent arround him that Ramsey ever did, but could not make it as a starting QB.

Re: FA QB mama-drama (3/14)
 

Harrington Released from Lions.
McMahon (QB) and Andrew Hall (QB) released from Eagles.
