Free Agent list?

I hope we can land Stewart but want to sign him to an extension if we do

Meh I might be a little more hesitant. RB's careers can end quickly and we don't know how well he'll work in our new offense. I'd be very happy to trade for him and wait to re-sign him.

Jeff Saturday's two-year deal in Green Bay is worth $7.75 million, including $4 million this season.


Seems rich for his last couple of years doesn't it?

Probably why we skipped him.

[Bry2]

I resorted to Google to find out. 5 years/$20 million with bonuses. He's due $1.3 million as his base this year.

I'd trade some picks for him but we'd have to get him an extension during the season if he's performing. I'd be pissed to lose the picks for a one year and done RB.

Jack?

on or off?

RB is a position of need however giving up both a long term/high money deal AND a draft pick (or picks) to address the weakness would not be wise.

If the decision was to improve the position through free agency, the franchise had plenty of opportunity to do so economically (obviously without giving up draft picks to do so) through the signing of BJGE, Mike Bush, or Mike Tolbert, etc.

Add into the equation Jonathan Stewart's injury history and you have further evidence to go in a different direction.

If you throw in the fact that there is impressive RB talent available to Denver in this draft, then you have more than enough reasons to go in a different direction, at least at this point in time.

I like Jonathan Stewart and if Carolina were to lower the price (i.e., a day three pick), then the idea of trading for him could re-enter the conversation but at this point, for what they are asking and what Stewart would ask for in a new contract, the move simply doesn't make sense...

kendale wright explans slow forty

WACO, Texas -- One of the most eye-popping numbers from the NFL combine was (supposed?) speedster receiver Kendall Wright's head-turning 4.61 40 time.

Wright earned his living running by defensive backs, and the time seemed inexplicable. At Baylor's pro day on Wednesday, he got another chance in the midst of Robert Griffin III mania, RG3's first public throwing session since a bowl win over Washington.

"I wasn't really worried about my routes or catching, me and Robert always work at that," Wright said. "All I was worried about was running a good 40 time, because everybody thought I ran a 4.6. I haven't run one of those since fifth grade or something."

Mission accomplished for Wright, who was officially clocked at a 4.46, though he'd been told by some it was as low as 4.4 or 4.41.

Wright pointed to his start as the reason for his slow time at the combine in Indianapolis.

"He wanted me to hold my stance for three seconds, and I didn't work on it like that," Wright said. "I got uncomfortable when I was down there and I popped up on my first two starts. That's all I worked on when I got back, was my 40 starts."

Wright looked at tape and worked on starts with former receiver teammates Tevin Reese and Terrance Williams.

"When I left the combine, I wasn't even thinking about 4.6," Wright said. "I was just thinking about running today at the pro day."

It looks like it paid off.

Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith was in attendance on Wednesday, but declined comment when asked about the Bears' interest in Wright, who will visit with the Bears on April 2 or 3.

"No team I talked to was worried about [the 40 time]," Wright said. "I play fast as anybody out there, so that's all that really mattered, was the film."

No arguments here, or on the field at the Allison Indoor Facility at Baylor.

Shows why forty times are overratted.
He droped time just because of his start WR don't start in a three point stance.

"me don't run good."

[johnlimburg]

40 times So useless

[Silent-Assassin]

40 times So useless

Not when Rich Eisen runs every year at the combine. Thats some comedy gold.

[MHS]

40 times are all about propper technique and all little things that don't neccesarily equate to football speed
