For those of you who are missing the NFL(including yours truly!!) I will see if NFL off-season news will hold you all over until the pre-season:

Mark Brunell has signed a eight-year $43 million dollar deal with the Washington Redskins and will replace Patrick Ramsey, who has struggled in his first two seasons, as the starting QB. The deal comes with an $8.6 million dollar bonus

Orlando Pace has been given a one-year $7 million dollar deal in hopes of the St Louis Rams signing him to a long term deal. His agent has offered a eight-year $80 million dollar deal with a $23 million dollar signing bonus

The Indianapolis RCA Dome is the site for this weekend's combine training for rookies and other rookies think that Maurice Clarette is skipping the training because in his words "His mother has told him so" and think he is dumb to come out so early and play in the NFL. A few other players are following in Clarette's lead much less to the chargin of NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue

With all the Quarterbacks available,This going to be a busy off-seasons. Where's Henson going to land? Other QB's on the move could be Garcia, Ramsey, Brees and who knows who else.

The skins gave Brunelle 8 years?!?!?!? What the heck are they thinking? He's on the downside of his career.

I really don't understand that. I think Ramsey can be a very good QB if his offensive line was any good.

Yeah i don't know why he got a 8 year deal but it was a good move making him the starter.

Ramsey is not mobile and Brunell has a scrambling ability

The franchise tag was placed on Raiders CB Charles Woodson

Peyton Manning and his agent are trying to hammer out a long-term deal with the Colts and the deadline is approaching and if Peyton and the Colts don't meet the March deadline Manning could have the franchise tag slapped on him in which could be like a one-year nine-twelve million dollar deal

EricIdlefan · 02-23-2004, 12:15 AM

An Atlanta Falcons player is indicted on cocaine and illiegal weapons in his possession and could face up to ten-to-twenty in prison and the Falcons are talking about dismissing him from tthe team all together

The NFL wants to curb and slow down touchdown celebrations like Terrell Owens TD antics, Joe Horn's celluar phone that has now become infamous, why can't they just do what Marvin Harrison does and just give the football to the ref

That's what I thought. I do not know anything about the deal but my thought is the Skins will be able to cut him in a few years before they have to start paying out the higher saleries since there are usually no gauranteed contracts.

Jay Fieldler's days with the Dolphins may be over since the Eagles will trade in AJ Feely for him and Feely may be the starting QB despite starting only three or four games when starting Eagles QB Donovan McNabb was hurt

Some of the NFL players are following Maurice Clarett's lead and leaving college early much less to the chargin of veteran NFL players and coaches who think that the college players should have at least three or four years college football experience because they say the NFL is much more dirtier, grittier, and harder

Browns running back William Green will serve a 10-day jail sentence for abusing his common law wife after pleading guilty to abusing his common law wife

Champ Bailey has the franchise and/or transition tag placed on him as he is a free agent and can either sign a deal with other teams(most notably the Lions are very interested in him since his younger brother Boss, who was a rookie last year, plays for the team) or resign but it will cost the Redskins tons and tons of money and to top it all off, a huge signing bonus

EricIdlefan · 02-25-2004, 02:24 AM

Jevon Kearse is looking to a long term deal if a deal with the Titans is not hammered out but the team won't slap the franchise tag on him claiming it would cost them to pay Kearse aka "The Freak" $6.5 million

Seattle's RB Shaun Alexander is hoping to stay with the Seahawks but sources say that the team and Seahawks personal are hesistant to give him a long term deal as Alexander is one of the best running backs in the NFL like Marshall Faulk and Priest Holmes a combination of rushing and receiving

Joe Gibbs after resigning with the Redskins and also being named President of the team and organization has hired up to fifteen new assisstant coaches in hopes of turning the team back to its glory days because the Redskins have been to the play-offs only once since Gibbs first hung up his long and workaholic habits back in the 1981-1993 season to head up a NASCAR team which has stars Bobby Labonte & Tony Stewart

isiahthomas · 02-25-2004, 05:51 PM

I heard that Denver's Clinton Portis was traded to Washington for Champ Bailey which is gonna be a big loss for Denver. Earnest Byner who was a former running back for the Cleveland Browns & Washington Redskins is gonna be Joe Gibbs assistant coach. Barry Sanders & John Elway are gonna be inducted in the hall of fame. Barry is a weirdo cause he said he feels like he shouldn't be in the hall of fame. Why not? He was one of the greatest running backs of all time. When i heard him being interviewed awhile back on ESPN, he sounded like a oddball.

isiahthomas · 02-25-2004, 06:03 PM

The Redskins also cut Bruce Smith & Jessie Armstead. I'm glad Bruce got cut. It was time for him to retire anyway.

EricIdlefan · 02-25-2004, 09:18 PM

Redskins cut Hall of Future Famer and All-Time Sack Leader Bruce Smith, LB Jessie Armstead, and P Bryan Barker to get under the now $80 million dollar cap

Ravens RB Jamal Smith is facing trouble both on and off the field as he was indicted for drug trafficking and will surrender to the FBI tomorrow and is facing up to ten years behind federal prison as he was one of up to ten-to-twenty people in a group who sold drugs at a house

Clinton Portis could be traded to the Redskins in exchage for Champ Bailey to the Broncos and both team organizations have to shelve out big time money to sign or resign those two.
