Wow, Dontari Poe, potential NT at 6'3" 346, ran a 4.98 40 and put up 44 reps on the bench

LJ didn't last long

this was the first thing i noticed as well. holy shit did he break down fast. especially after at least a year or two of splitting carries with priest.

[Moss]

well at least in 2005 and 2006 he made the NFL his bitch. shit ton of carries in two years and his style of running niggas over and it didn't take long for him to slow down

Kinda funny there is all this crazy speculation about big time FA's going here and there, yet the league has yet to announce the new salary cap to teams for the year. Until the league gives teams the number no mega deals will be done yet or prior to FA.

[Chun Liroy]

Why do we know how over or under teams are then? Are they judging off of old years? Furthermore why would a new CBS be agreed upon if the cap amount was not discussed? I just don't understand the situation

[Cail]

The NFL will kick off its season on Wednesday, Sept. 5 instead of the traditional Thursday night start to avoid a conflict with a scheduled speech by President Barack Obama on Sept. 6 at the Democratic National Convention.

Commissioner Roger Goodell made the announcement Tuesday. The game, to be hosted by the Super Bowl-champion New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, will begin at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The Giants' opponent for the opener hasn't been determined yet. The 2012 NFL schedule will be revealed in the coming months.

TOO MUCH POWER FOR ONE AGENT

Peyton Hillis can’t stop changing agents

Last October, we noted that Browns running back Peyton Hillis used three different agents in 2011 alone. He’s celebrating the upcoming new league year by making another change.

Hillis is looking for his fourth agent since the start of 2011 after parting ways with agent Kennard McGuire, according to Josina Anderson of ESPN.com. There is a minimum five-day window before Hillis can hire a new agent.

It’s a bad look for Hillis. Again. The Madden cover subject consistently overvalued himself last year, which is why he felt the need to keep firing agents. His contract push became such a distraction that his teammates had to pull him aside intervention-style during the season and tell him to knock it off. There were accusations he didn’t play through injuries or give his best effort.

We hear a lot in the buildup to the draft about “off-field” red flags. It usually involves drugs or arrests, but Hillis’ behavior over the last year is a red flag. He struggled to work with teammates and put money concerns aside. He’s struggled to work with agents.

Hillis likely keeps changing agents because he wants more money than the agents think he’s worth. He doesn’t seem to realize that he hurts his value every time he creates another negative headline.

One of the worst Madden curse effects in years.

Balances out the mild effect of Brees tossing a bunch of INTs and losing to the Seahawks in 2010.
