Have to completely agree with that statement.

Not a bad signing from a Real Life NFL perspective, not much fantasy impact. Haven't seen any nubers on the contract but they have to be resonable if this is getting done right now. We have been hearing both good and bad reports about Kellen Winslow's status.

Friday was a busy day for the Buccaneers front office, coaches and players. General manager Bruce Allen, head coach Jon Gruden and, very interestingly, quarterback Chris Simms and wide receivers Michael Clayton and David Boston flew to Atlanta on Friday morning for a private workout with Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson. The Bucs don’t [...]

The Colts’ roster has been picked through this offseason, and more losses might be coming. Indianapolis restricted free-agent cornerback Jason David is visiting the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have tried but failed to upgrade their cornerbacks throughout the offseason. If David signs an offer sheet with the Saints, the Colts would have seven days [...]

Spurned by their primary offseason target for bolstering the offensive line (Charger FA G Kris Dielman), the Seattle Seahawks are bringing back veteran guard Chris Gray with a two-year contract worth $2.1 million in base salary, plus bonuses, according to the NFL players association.[ESPN]

Unrestricted free agent wide receiver Cortez Hankton, who played the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, on Monday signed a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings seem to have made a nice signing for the league minimum here,Â* low risk, good potential.[ESPN]

Rumors are surrounding RB Ryan Moats. The rumors talk about trading Moats for a mid-round pick and the Eagles drafting a bigger back. If you read between the lines it sounds like The Eagles are just putting pressure on Moats to embrace special teams duty.

NFL News

Mike · 04-17-2007, 09:44 AM

I wonder what kind of value Moats would really have on the free agent market this year? He isn't a starter, probably never would be.

Birdman · 04-17-2007, 10:43 AM

Moats has shown a lot of potential, and Westbrook-like speed. But he is almost impossible to coach. He doesn't have an understanding of the offense. He is (like Westbrook) small, and he doesn't play as physical and is weaker.

For the Eagles, since they already have Westbrook - this would make sense. Dont know what they can get for him though, probably a fifth rounder or something?

Dominion · 04-17-2007, 03:21 PM

I just can't get very excited about Moats and I do not think many other teams could either.

The Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday afternoon retained a key veteran, re-signing unrestricted free agent James Reed to a three-year contract, a deal that enables the team to keep intact its starting defensive tackle tandem of a year ago.[ESPN]

NFL News

Coachnorm · 04-17-2007, 08:17 PM

The retentions of Reed and Edwards and the addition of Boone should now provide Kansas City with a viable tackle rotation for 2007. Yet to be determined is the fate of veteran Ryan Sims, the Chiefs' first-round pick in 2002, and a defensive tackle who has been regarded as an underachiever for most of his NFL career.
