    It was from incarcerated bob. I can't even count the amount of fail tweets I have seen from that guy. Probably had about 100+ alone during the LBJ saga.

    NFL free agency last year was even worse. He had us as a lock for Ray Edwards (Vikings) who ended up with the Falcons only to find out after the fact that the Browns never contacted Edwards.

    Good point. I recall that now as well.

    BTW, here is the definition of hare http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hare. I figured you would get confused and think it is that stuff on top of your head. Although, you probably don't have any hair on top of your head anymore.
    So thats the Browns approach. the tortoise and the hare. It started in 1965 right? Seems to be right on pace, that SB is right around the next corner.:laugh:

    It's been going on since Heckert & Holmgren have been here. I have a feeling there's a difference of opinion there too in that Heckert hates free agency while Holmgren likes to make a splash (see Reggie White signing).

    Heckert has been their GM since 1965?

    DAMN...Buffalo reportedly offering Mario Williams $91.5 million, $40 million guaranteed.

    Lulz. Miami trades 2 high picks in good drafts for Marshall. Then trades him for middle picks in 2 decent/bad drafts. #cursed.

    Browns offer 5 year $35M deal $20m guaranteed to Matt Flynn
  • IggyPride00
    Adam Schefter:

    Vincent Jackson deal in Tampa: 5 yrs, $55.55 million, including $26 million guaranteed, $36 million in 1st 3 yrs, $26 million in 1st 2 yrs.
  • IggyPride00
    Schefter again:

    QB Jason Campbell reached agreement with the Bears on a one-year deal.


    This one kind of surprised me, for as well as he played last year until getting hurt I am surprised he didn't wait around longer to see if he could get a chance somewhere to compete for a job with a team that struck out in free agency at the QB position.
  • chicago510
    Well with Cutler he's guaranteed to be starting by week ten.
  • IggyPride00
    Really like what the Redskins have done.

    The RGIII trade solved the QB position, and the 3 receivers they have signed (Garcon-25, Morgan-26,Royal-25) are all young guys and not the over the hill late 30's types they have traditionally tried when being aggressive in free agency.

    Having resigned TE Fred Davis (also a young guy at 26), and drafted a franchise left tackle last year in Trent Williams, the Skins offense will put RGIII in the best possible position to succeed.

    It almost looks like there is some semblance of a plan in Washington right now which is kind of scary.

    Damn that is a lot. If he does go there that D should be pretty awesome. If Fitzpatrick could actually be decent they could probably challenge the Pats for the AFC East.

    Rams and free-agent cornerback Cortland Finnegan reached agreement on a five-year deal worth about $50 million.
  • Mulva
    That seems like too much money for Finnegan, but the Rams were really desperate for secondary help.

    Lol this is why the shit you say now is so hilarious...Holmgren signs ONE huge splash in his 30? year career, and he's a "huge FA splash" guy? lol

    Lol dumb move. I personally don't think Finnegan is that great and certainly not worth that much.

    49ers resigned Carlos Rodgers, who is a fuckin boss.

    Adam Schefter:

    Reggie Wayne re-signing a three-year deal with Colts. Agreement reached.


    Didn't really see that coming. I figured he would go with Peyton somewhere, or at the very least to a contender as he is not a spring chicken.

    Nothing new here, same old shit. Now we will probably try to draft Blackmon with no one to throw him the ball.
