My sources tell me that the Lions and guard Kevin Barry (Green Bay) and getting close to finalizing an agreement.

Also, Julian Peterson was made an offer, but Cleveland called and made a higher offer and the Lions are now considering whether to up their offer...

Will confirm later.

Any Detroit People.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Mike Williams is being shopped for a 3rd or 4th round pick? Seems to make absolutely no sense whatsoever, but it's the second time I heard that rumor. Did he get some sort of "split bonus" last year and is still due a sizeable chunk at some point this offseason, cause then it would seem to make a touch more sense.

stevew · 03-14-2006, 05:15 PM

Lookout Tom Brady. Kimo Von Ohlehoffen just signed with the Jets(3/9m).

I haven't heard that rumor at all. The only Mike Williams rumor I've heard over the last few days is that he's out of shape. He was in poor shape pretty much all of last season and he's been packing on the pounds during the off-season. Obviously not a good sign and a concern apparently a lot of teams had about the guy: poor work ethic.

Even based on those reports, I would be stunned if the Lions were trying to move him.

Maybe he's trying to eat himself into being a TE?

It appears as if the Lions decided Peterson was too rich for their blood... He goes to Celveland for 5 yrs/$30 million. (Need confirm with my sources...)

It looks like the Lions will continue to follow their plan of spending only on mediocrity throughout the off season.

Bummer. I hate to see Kimo leave the Steelers, but I would have been surprised to see him get anything beyond a 1 year/minimum deal. Can't blame the man for getting paid.

stevew · 03-14-2006, 06:00 PM

Brett Keisel signs a 4 year deal with the Steelers. I'm sure nobody but the hardcore fans even know who he is, but he should be a nice fit at RDE in the 3/4 package. Always nice to see one of your 7th rounders blossom into a starter.

Vikings | Team changing uniforms
Tue, 14 Mar 2006 19:46:00 -0800

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports the Minnesota Vikings will be wearing new uniforms for the 2006 season. Steve LaCroix, Vikings vice president of sales and marketing, confirmed the uniform change, although he declined to say to what extent. "We are working with the NFL and Reebok on some exciting changes for the 2006 season. The process is still continuing, but we'll look to have an unveiling later in the offseason for our fans," he said.

Why?

I hope they don't change them too drastically - despite my hatred of the Vikings, I've always kind of liked their uniforms.

Latest out of Detroit is that Joey Harrington is finally fed up with his tenure here and will likely be asking to leave the team. Last week Mike Martz held a QB School for the current Lions' QB's (Shaun King, Orlovsky, and Harrington). Apparently, it didn't go all that well and Harrington and Martz didn't get along. Shocking, I know.

The saga continues. . .

I'm not a Skins fan, but since I'm in the DC area I've seen a lot of him. I think he's a solid safety but not an impact player. He'll probably fit in well with the Steelers Defense and is a legitimate starter as long as you don't expect too much from him.

Clark will actually be at FS...but agree, don't know a whole lot about him. I recognized the name, that's about all. According to the Pittsburgh paper, they made Hope an offer to return first, to which he said 'No way', and then made the offer to Clark. Can he play the deep middle, because that is mostly what he'll be asked to do, with Troy being Troy.

Also...agree with an earlier poster at the amount of $ Kimo saw. I had him pegged for a 1 year offer from most teams, with he returning to the Steelers, all other factors being about equal. But, you don't walk away from the offer he got from the Jets.

Keisel should be solid...but, that leaves depth thin--unless you really like Travis Kirschke, which I don't.

Cringer · 03-15-2006, 09:36 AM

Here's what I don't get: why would the Texans draft Bush? Is Davis really that bad? I know he had a mediocre year this year, but their O-Line absolutely stunk. Am I missing something?

Nope. And 230/976 4.2 is hardly a mediocre year when you consider he only played in 11 games due to injuries. Although 269 of that came vs Tennessee and another 165 vs the Ravens.

Because a lot of people feel Bush is one of those 'once in generation' or 'once in a decade' type of players, and you just shouldn't pass on that. The Packers passed on Barry Sanders and took Tony Mandrich, bad move. Some think passing on Bush would be like that I guess.

Any Titans fans out there know what would happen with Billy Volek if the team goes for a QB in the draft? He was kind of considered a starting QB-in-waiting before this season. I wonder if a team like the Raiders or Vikings would be interested in him now.

Travis · 03-15-2006, 03:01 PM

Seahawks resign Bernard to a 3 year deal and bring back Peter Warrick on a one year contract.

I think solid signings, though the Bernard one is a bit of a surprise. Figured he'd get a rich enough contract elsewhere to lure him away, but I'm very happy to see him return to the rotation with Tubbs and Darby. Should be a solid defensive line for the Hawks this year with the potential of spectacular if they can add a pass rushing end to the mix.

Warrick, well, likely a cheap signing and he should at least push the younger guys for the #3 spot.

TazFTW · 03-15-2006, 03:28 PM

Cleveland signs Willie McGinest to a 3 year, $12 million deal.

From ESPN Insider:

2005 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
S Ryan Clark
Grade: 69 | Key
Alert: None

Comment:
Clark is a very active strong safety. He is always around the ball or near the action. He is best versus the run. He has the ability to key and diagnose the run and seems instinctive when locating the ball. He is good on run support both outside and inside. However, Clark is a better run stopper than a pass defender. He does not have overall speed and quickness. He lacks change of direction and body control. He is stiff in the hips and does not have a smooth transition or ease of movement and he is not fluid on his back pedal. He lacks catch up speed coming out of his breaks. He is a much better player in zone coverage than in man coverage.

----

I had not read that scouting report before just now, but I would say it pretty much echoes my impressions of him. He is horrid against the pass and always seemed a step slow. That said, he is a big hitter...and he plays hard. You'll like him.

I think New England is letting a lot of good system players leave. It will be interesting to see how they hold up.

jeff061 · 03-15-2006, 04:03 PM

It's not so much that they let good players go, it's more that they haven't signed anyone and have only even spoken to a player or two. It's really odd, I'm not sure what they are thinking.

I think we can expect extensions for both Seymour and Branch, not sure what else they plan to do with that money. Even after that they are going to have a decent bit of cash this year.

I agree that they are not letting any super-elite talent go, but I suspect if they continue to lose a lot of system players, there will be a significantly higher amount of execution problems next season. In particular, they are going to have to rely on a lot of unfamilar receivers knowing where to be on third-and-long plays next season.

jeff061 · 03-15-2006, 04:45 PM

Well pretty much everyone was expecting Givens and McGinest(mostly due to Crennel and Mangini) to be gone after this season. There were some last second hopes with Givens, but that was about it. You think they would have at least looked at the other WRs and CBs out there. There were rumors they were targeting Jurevicius, either they totally botched that or he cut them off at the pass.

I just can't seen Vinatieri not being resigned now, I don't think he's going to get the offer he was hoping for.

It's really odd, I'm not sure what they are thinking. I think we can expect extensions for both Seymour and Branch, not sure what else they plan to do with that money. Even after that they are going to have a decent bit of cash this year. __________________

There were some last second hopes with Givens, but that was about it. You think they would have at least looked at the other WRs and CBs out there. There were rumors they were targeting Jurevicius, either they totally botched that or he cut them off at the pass. I just can't seen Vinatieri not being resigned now, I don't think he's going to get the offer he was hoping for. __________________ Last edited by jeff061 : 03-15-2006 at 04:45 PM.
