i wish the ravens had the redskins` capologist...

[gardenweasel]

snyder and the skins seem to be able to grab whatever they want,whenever they want.....this year they sign brunell,daniels,griffin,springs,not to mention a huge contract for portis....granted,they lopped champ bailey...but,still....

last year...regan upshaw....lavernius coles....john hall....chad morton...randy thomas...dave fiore...jermaine haley...

that`s some capologist....

 

[Vegas Dave]

Yeah but look at where all the money spending got them last year

So I guess what the Ravens are doing isn't too bad since they were in the playoffs and the 'Skins were not.

 

[gardenweasel]

all i`m saying is

all i`m saying is

the guy`s a genius....there`s always room for that extra guy they want.....

i suspect that now that they have a real coach,they will be serious contenders...if not next year,certainly the year after...

for a 2nd round pick?......myy ohhh myyy.....i am walking on air.... ....

i wish you could hear the radio call in shows....they are going nuts...

no more 8 and 9 in the box.....todd heap gets better....and i`m not sure that darrel jackson is out of the question....

Maybe you guys missed it.....

But Terrell Owens was supposed to be a free agent and he forgot to file his papers which means he remained part of the 49ers organization.

So even though the Ravens got Terrell Owens (which is a good move) they could have just signed him as a free agent and not given anything up.

P.S. If Terrell complains about getting the ball in SF, I'm sure he'll LOVE playing with a 2nd year inaccurrate/maturing QB.

 

[gardenweasel]

what you`re forgetting is

what you`re forgetting is

if terrel had been declared a free agent,NOBODY gets him at 5 or 6 mill this year...if he goes on the market as a free agent,you can bet he`d be shooting for a monster guaranteed signing bonus.......now,they get a bargain,at a minimal cap number hit(for one of the best receivers in football) and if he`s as bad as you say,they can cut him loose next year......

if things go smoothly,then they can negotiate....

best of both worlds.....

 

[Vegas Dave]

Good point. I didn't realize that.

But you know what, what we both might fail to realize is that T.O. is pissed that he forgot to file his paper and may hold out.

Wouldn't that be a biatch!

 

[gardenweasel]

well...

well...

the skins did it again......they signed lb marcus washington from indy.......it wasn`t cheap either....


"The four-year veteran, who had played his entire career in Indianapolis, was generally regarded as one of the top 20 players in the unrestricted talent pool, and also had visited with the Pittsburgh Steelers this week.


He was en route to Washington on Thursday evening to approve a six-year contract worth slightly more than $24 million. The contract includes a $7 million signing bonus and total bonuses of about $10 million in the first three seasons.


Washington, 26, will become the fourth defensive veteran acquired by the ever-aggressive Redskins this week. The Redskins earlier added end Phillip Daniels, tackle Cornelius Griffin and cornerback Shawn Springs to a defense that statistically ranked No. 25 in the league in 2003"........

that`s some capologist they have over there on pennsylvania ave.........

 

[gardenweasel]

well.......

well.......

V.D.........it looks like you were pretty close on terrell.....he`s gonna hold out.....seems he had his little heart set on playing for the eagles........

he may just get his wish....

it was to good to be true....the inmates do indeed run the asylum.....

ouch....:shrug:

I read a story that the Eagles had a deal in place for Terrell Owens which was James Thrash and a 5th round pick. Then the Ravens stepped in a with 2nd round pick in this year's draft and San Francisco took that without even consulting the Eagles to see if they would match the offer.

I think the 49ers new that Owens wanted to go to Philadelphia and therefore tried to screw him.

But you know what, I think either way he would have held out because I'm sure he remember that monster contract that David Boston got in San Diego and I think he's jealous.

Owens is a baby, and he is not a leader. He's like this new era of extremely talented young athletes who can't be leaders and are not capable of putting the team ahead of themselves.

P.S. Garcia is a much better QB to play with than Donny Mac, or Kyle Boller.
