KC looks like they basically penciled Cassell as QB starter - I really do like Thipgen, he makes mistakes but he learns from them.. He could blossom if given a chance..[/quote]
Was nearly a given.

[quote=Ruhskins;548472]Well that's what they deserve (Cincy) for not moving him earlier. Cincy knew they were going to lose either CJ or TJ; I don't understand why they didn't get rid of CJ when teams were interested in him and he wanted to leave. That organization needs to implode and get a new FO and coach. For all of you that cry about the Redskins being in a bad situation, well guess what, there are teams in terrible situations and Cincy is one of them.[/quote]
They wanted to not set a precedent for allowing players to demand trades; heh, you reap what you sow.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

I can't find a link yet but NFLN reported that, in the wake of drafting Curry, they have taken the franchise tag away from LB Leroy Hill. This makes him an unrestricted free agent.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

^^^this was on NFLN also.

I think it would be a decent pickup but he would def want big money.
He led the Seattle D in tackles last year so....

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

In the wake of tackles taken high in the draft, we might find the Bungles releasing Levi Jones, as The Goat has very helpfully indicated several times. The Jags may release Tony Pashos. And the Giants may release one of their many OT's. We may find free agent help at RT which is a better bet than Mike Williams.

Wait, is a RFA or UFA? And i think the one thing the skins have proven to us over the years, the FO may not know how to put together a winning football team, but they sure as hell know how to play with the salary cap, so i don't see money being an issue.

UFA. He was franchised but they removed the tag, making him an UFA.

Cardinals cut James. Maybe the Broncos will pick him up. They are dangerously low on RB's...

Can LaBoy start at linebacker?

Those of you jonesing for more backfield help, do we want the Edge?

I wondered about same thing when I first heard of this.. But then, I remembered our cap situation.. It's moot

I'm fan of Edge, he's good.. But we don't need him, we already have someone similar, Portis and Betts.. And once again, cap situation..

Edge just isn't the same runner he used to be. Look at his yards per carry since he left Indy.

LaBoy can start at linebacker for about 5 games then would get injured a miss the rest of the season. We could just resign MW and get the same results.
