NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - 2010 Offseason

[-Jrabbit]

The LT has landed...in New York. Fear the Jets!

NY Jets agreed to terms with RB LaDainian Tomlinson on a two-year, $5.2 million contract. Another $500,000 is available via incentives.

Tomlinson, 31 in June, does give the Jets another option at the goal line, but his addition is probably more of a threat to Leon Washington's 2010 fantasy outlook than Shonn Greene's. Greene is clearly the team's new go-to back, while Washington may now be primarily counted on to return kicks as opposed to change-of-pace and third-down duties as he comes off a compound leg fracture. LT obviously doesn't have much left, but he could perhaps still offer some value on 8-10 touches per game off the bench.

That's Chester Taylor money. The Bears are idiots.

Larry Johnson signs with Redskins, 3 years, 3.5 mil base, 12 mil with incentives.

The Bears are idiots.

What else is new

[Ben Kenobi]

I love all the LT naysayers.

LT was obviously impressed with a decent line. I'm actually really excited, now he gets to destroy Hobo Bill twice a season.

Feels weird and strange to be a J-E-T-S fan!

I sure wish the Chargers had taken Rex Ryan over Norv Turner.

Edit, and Brian Schotty too! Damn. This feels like a homecoming.

[Ben Kenobi]

I know what I want for my birthday!

[-Jrabbit]

Glad he didn't end up in Minnesota.

Ben the bandwagoner.


And what are you laughing about the "naysayers" for? LT is going to be a backup and paid less than $3 mil a year. Isn't that EXACTLY what the "naysayers" were saying would happen?!

[Imran Siddiqui]

I guess they don't think Quinn was it. But I don't see how they can think Delhomme is it after the season he just had.

It'd be far smarter to let the 1st round draft pick see what he can do rather than a washed up QB. Great deal for the Broncs though.

[-Jrabbit]

With all their draft picks and young, solid core, the Broncos could be very dangerous in the next few years.

Holmgren wanted a veteran QB to keep the seat warm until he finds a long-term solution. But the decision does seem a bit hasty, unless Quinn just sucks more than I thought. Clearly, that's what Holmgren thinks.

Imran:

Rex Ryan should have gotten the job over Norv, and AJ should have just swallowed his pride and let Brian Schottenheimer work with the team.

This is the Chargers as they should have been, not this abomination under Norv.

Hmm, not necessarily. One of his bonus clauses includes jumping the depth chart. So he has a chance to play as a starter behind one of the best O-Lines in the NFL. The naysayers also say he's got nothing left in the tank. We shall see.

[SlowwHand]

He's just looking for a bandwagon jump-mate, Ben. He can show you the finer points of the practice.

[Ben Kenobi]

Hey, at least I'm still a Cowboys fan!

[SlowwHand]

That's what counts!

[-Jrabbit]

Fandom within a league is not multiple choice.

PICK ONE TEAM.

[EPW]

Ben seems to really like LT.
