just read this on rotoworld.comGreen Bay will reportedly be one of the first teams to contact free agent Adalius Thomas if Baltimore doesn't slap him with the franchise tag.It's still up in the air whether the Ravens will do so, and they have until Feb. 22 to decide. If the Packers land Thomas, likely to the tune of roughly three years, $15 million with the bulk of the money guaranteed, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila will probably be a cap casualty. Thomas would play mostly with his hand down opposite fellow Pro Bowler Aaron Kampman

The 4 weeks Merriman was out the secondary got TORCHED, the offense had to make some unbelievable comebacks (at Denver and at Cinicnati) The Chargers also need to get a true #1 WR, they have 2 #2's and a #3 Wr as there top 3 guys. Jackson, McCardell, and Eric "Drop Everything" Parker is a horrible wr tandem, if they get better at WR they should be the favorites hands down.
Good job Chargers...now you guys might win an important playoff game

"Calvin Johnson reportedly ran a 4.33 forty at a workout with his speed and conditioning trainer on Tuesday.He also recorded an 11-foot standing broad jump and a vertical leap of 43 inches. These are insane numbers, but he'll have to repeat at the Yellow Jackets' pro day or at the Combine next week for them to be legit."Of course, these numbers are unofficial and therefore mean nothing. If he posts near a 4.33 forty at the combine, GMs will start salivating.
Ron Rivera would be a great fit in SD
this guy is an idiot no such thing as a can't miss player in the draft.Next it's the draft, and Raiders up firstA look at some of the intriguing names.Click-2-ListenBy Sam FarmerLOS ANGELES TIMESFriday, February 09, 2007The Indianapolis Colts have had their parade. They've had four whole days tobask in the afterglow of their first Super Bowl victory . . .And now it's time to start thinking football again.There is seemingly no end to the NFL season. The Pro Bowl will be playedSaturday, and less than two weeks after that the scouting combine inIndianapolis officially kicks off next season.The Oakland Raiders have the first pick in the draft, so they're on theclock, and speculation has them taking Louisiana State quarterback JaMarcusRussell — think Brian Urlacher's body and Brett Favre's velocity — but"speculation" is the operative word. The Raiders need a lot of help; theyeasily could decide to trade down for more picks.Here's an early look at some of the players up for grabs April 28:Five can't-miss picksCalvin Johnson, receiver, Georgia Tech: Built like Terrell Owens from theneck down, he seems to be much better than Owens from the neck up. He couldwind up being the first wide receiver picked No. 1 since Keyshawn Johnson in1996.Joe Thomas, offensive tackle, Wisconsin: It's rare that a rookie can step inand play left tackle right away (San Diego's Marcus McNeill did it in 2006),but Thomas looks to be that type of player. If he's available, look forCleveland (No. 3 or No. 4) or Arizona (No. 5) to grab him.Adrian Peterson, running back, Oklahoma: He's already good enough tosupplant at least half the starting running backs in the NFL. He doesn'twaste a lot of time by dancing in the backfield, just makes one cut and hitsthe hole. He's fast and doesn't shy from contact.Alan Branch, defensive tackle, Michigan: At 6 feet 5 inches, 330 pounds,Branch blots the sun as a run stopper and is quick enough to get to thequarterback. He opted to skip his senior season and is a probable top-10selection.LaRon Landry, safety, Louisiana State: Landry might not be the top safety onevery team's board, but many scouts see him as the elite player at hisposition. He was a four-year starter in college and his team's top tackleras a senior.Five gamblesJaMarcus Russell, LSU: He had a spectacular Sugar Bowl in which he upstagedNotre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn. Russell will have one of the NFL'sstrongest arms right away, but his decision-making is a question mark. He'sa little quick to evacuate the pocket, and he had some lousy games to goalong with his good ones.Brady Quinn, Notre Dame: Last year, Matt Leinart was the star quarterbackwho slipped down the draft board. This year, it could be Quinn. He's a goodleader who's accurate when protected, but he can get rattled under pressure.That will scare off some teams.Tony Ugoh, offensive tackle, Arkansas: Uncommonly quick at 6-6, 300 pounds,this big Hog has attracted a lot of attention. Scouts wonder, though, if theformer track-and-field thrower is simply a one-year wonder.Isaiah Stanback, quarterback, Washington: A scrambler whose college careerwas cut short by a sprained foot, he sees himself as a quarterback. FormerHuskies quarterback Warren Moon sees him that way, too. Others think he's abetter fit as a receiver.Marcus McCauley, cornerback, Fresno State: Projected as a first-round picklast year, he took a step back as a senior. McCauley has a great build forthe position and he is very fast, but he lost his confidence and focus thispast season.
