I have heard that Winslow Jr is a terror on the field, that he is crazy/motivated to the extent of getting flagged a lot.
It sounds like he is a LB Ray Lewis/junior Seau type. If he learns to control and focus, he could be very good. Unfortunately, on offense, officials wont take that.
The Browns screwed up in that by moving up one place and giving up a second round pick, Winslow feels he should get paid his position + the second round money also.
This is the time of year when everything you hear is publicity.
No one wants to sign before the player drafted before them because they want max money. The agents have a fear that if they sign, and then later the player before signs a much better deal, it will make him look bad. They are thinking next years clients also.
Everything now is just BS.
Most coaches say the rookie is confused and needs work. They are thinking contract.
Bone head moves:
Accorsi, GM of the Giants.
If you are going to say the new #1 pick QB is the next Elway, at least wait until after he signs.
To Manning and his agent is shows:
A) The Giants could have the #1 pick next year which they gave to the Chargers for Manning. Plus they traded a #3 this year and a #5 next year. How much more is that added to Mannings contract?
B) They cut the starter Collins and gave the starting job to Manning already. Now they are realizing that bring in a veteran QB like Warner if only to tell Manning he isnt going to start and shouldn't get starter money
C) They have a copy of Peyton's contract. They will want to get Eli a little less, but he is the next Elway.
Eli will want to double the previous highest rookie contract ever. he has already told the press that he will sit out the entire year (if the Chargers draft him).
So the deal is to ask for Peyton's contract and slowly go down. I cant see this being resolved until near the end of the preseason.
