Orton will be the starter in 2010. He makes nearly three million bucks this season, while Quinn will make $700k. If Quinn takes 70% of the snaps, he'll unlock $5.9 million in escalators. Not to mention that Orton was one of the most efficient passers of last season.

Fully disagree. Orton is the starter. Quinn is the capable (?) backup.

Culpepper to Moss.

You're funny. Anyway, Panama - Van Halen

What's it matter? He has literally no one to throw to whatsoever.

Was it the Steelers and not the Raiders? That's all I can find. I'd like to read about it.

Crav, what is that picture?

I only remember him from his days as an analyst on NBC, and even that's from watching old games. Seems like he was a good guy. RIP.

It's a Reebok thing.

So Millwood's doing well so far. ...

I know nothing about this show, but just from reading what everyone has posted, I kind of think you're all just making things up.

I hear he doesn't like getting his face dirty.

If the WR is BPA, then yes, you take him. But the point is that the position is no longer a need, and probably isn't worth a first round pick this year either, regardless of development time. However, we shouldn't be very happy if WR does turn out to be the BPA and our selection. There are many positions on this roster that need filling out more than the receivers at this point.

Good thing. He's gonna be a bust.

That's...what I said. haha.

If he's still on the board, maybe they will. But I don't know if I see it, yet. I honestly think they've sized it up such that they can pick defensively as usual. I really hope they don't do too much on one side this offseason. Boldin, Mason, and the murderer are more than enough.

It's not done by any means. LaCanfora's report is that a deal is "likely" to be done soon.

He's getting paid as much as (and up to $1 million more than) Boldin. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/03/10/four-years-28-million-for-antonio-bryant/ Wow.

The Browns are reportedly shopping Quinn, too. Maybe Tonsillitis Troy still has a chance.

The 30% rule only affects base salary, and it only applies to contract renegotiation. We would be offering Marshall a new contract, so that would be irrelevant.

Their inconsistencies are incredible. Carl Long was basically stripped of his entire career for an engine he was using that was too worn down and didn't pass spec. Kevin Harvick was suspended for something he did in another series altogether. It was obvious that they weren't going to suspend him. Not even for one race. He's definitely one of the five most popular drivers. I doubt that the sponsors would leave, because Roush could easily stick them on one of his cars, or send them over to one of Yates' or Boris Said's unsponsored cars for the missed races. The what if game is definitely prevalent, too. Would anything have happened if Keselowski had just spun down into the grass? There wouldn't be nearly the outrage. Would anything have happened if the car or a part of it had gone into the stands? I guarantee it. Maybe this is a sign of NASCAR simply taking too much stock into what actually happened, and not enough into what could have easily happened. That's how you save yourself today, and get someone killed tomorrow. My biggest problem? The drivers aren't outraged by it. What if it was someone other than Keselowski? Remember when Kenseth and Edwards were in their feud a year or two ago? What if he'd done that to Matt, widely considered one of the nicest guys in the garage. Aside form probably being fired, Edwards wouldn't see a race track for weeks. The fact that it was Keselowski he wrecked plays a lot into this. Many of the drivers thought he deserved or needed something like this; even his teammate said "I'm surprised it wasn't the 11 car" on SPEED's victory lane show. The drivers need to worry less about who got what they deserved and more about how they'd feel if Edwards had done it to them. It's really a shame that NASCAR lets things get like this. This is what happens when things get this subjective. In the meantime, little flippy boy Edwards can kiss my sweet ass.

I don't really agree with that at all. Since Alex had his incredible season, a lot of people have picked up hockey, especially those in their 20s. It's a hard hitting, fast paced game (at least when the Caps are concerned), and there's no reason not to be excited about it. By the way, Spen, I expect your defense whenever someone's trashing one of our NASCAR threads, too.

I completely agree. Folks who were commenting recently that they wouldn't mind seeing Gaither go for that first round compensation seem to have forgotten how incredibly awful Cousins was at RT last season.

Most likely no receiver in the early rounds, anyway. I can still see a tight end, considering that we only have one on the roster right now. I'd absolutely prefer CB or DE at this point, though. I don't know who wouldn't.
