They probably got him for league minimum. They're the only team that can sign 30 free agents for league minimum.

Friction between Cutler, McDaniels on the rise - The Denver Post Cutler being a whiny bitch again.. he even put his house up for sale.

[Akiyama]

New England should sign him. Clearly.

[Kyo]

I bet Jerry will make a move to get Holt. ALso fuck the patriots etc.

[Deejay]

THIS JUST IN: The Patriots have signed retired hall of famer Lawrence Taylor to start at outside linebacker. They have also resurrected Reggie White from the grave to help fill the void at DE, both at league minimum.

looool

Holt is going to land in TN I believe, we wont have cap room until we dump Peppers ass. Wish we would dump his ass already, preferably to Denver and their 3-4 scheme for Cutler.

I don't know, everything I read about Stafford doesn't really impress me which is why I'd rather wait. With the Chiefs using their first pick on a LB last year I figured they would go elsewhere this year but who knows. I think the Seahawks have a definite chance of competing this year which is why I'd rather use our first pick on a player who might help produce this year rather than a QB to groom for the future.

The Chiefs actually have not taken a LB in any round of the NFL draft since the 5th round of the 2005 draft. That should put into perspective of how bad the LB core is right now. Fuck you, Herm.

As for the Seahawks being a contender this year, I'm not sold. I think Hasselbeck has a year, maybe 2 left in him. Right now would be a good time to start building up a successor for him.

Hmm not sure what I was thinking about the Chiefs, in that case you are right I doubt we'll see Curry at #4. I'd say Matt has at least 2 years in him, and probably 1-2 more that are decent but well below pro bowl level. I would love to line up a successor I just don't really love any of the QB's in this draft.

This years QB pool definitely isn't the most impressive, but it'll be better than next years crop. The top QBs in 2010 will be coming from a spread system. While Stafford, Sanchez and Freeman are all underclassmen..they actually come from a more pro style oriented offense.

Josh Freeman is another option in the 2nd round (if he lasts). I played against him back in High School and have seen first hand his potential. He's definitely going to need some time to simmer though.

Who knew Charlie Weis and Bill Belichick could sing?

[Mizango]

Robin, this is for you <3

Patriots appear primed to make a deal with Panthers for Peppers


God I cant wait for him to GTFO. Holt and Cutler incoming...

[Demosthenes11]

knew it lol
Also figured they were going to draft ILB and start phasing Bruschi out a bit. If they get peppers, that is a scary fucking team that will only be better in the next few years when some of their younger DBs (merriweather namely) get some experience.

The only thing that would satisfy me is 19-0 though after that ajdgjmakgokgawlkoeok hurts me to even think about it. With this team they could have a chance though...the defense will be even better than it was.
please god let brady be as good as he was.

[Mizango]

I'm convinced the Patriots will never lose another game ever in history.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Jay Cutler was a no-show on Monday for coach Josh McDaniels' first team meeting and the start of the Denver Broncos' offseason workouts, and if he gets his way, he'll never step foot in the team's training facility again.

"The Denver Broncos confirm that Jay Cutler has requested a trade," team spokesman Jim Saccomano told The Associated Press on Monday.

Cutler, still upset that the Broncos tried to trade him for New England quarterback Matt Cassel last month, had asked for a trade through his agent, Bus Cook, ESPN reported.

Cook, who was traveling, didn't return phone calls to The AP. The Denver Post quoted McDaniels as saying he wanted to meet again with Cutler to try to resolve their differences before considering a trade.

Cutler told ESPN he would attend every mandatory minicamp and training camp but would skip the offseason training program, which won't subject him to fines. Although it's voluntary, the coaches expect everyone to attend the team's offseason program.

The Broncos' first minicamp is April 17-19, a week before the draft.

Cutler and McDaniels met face-to-face Saturday along with Cook and general manager Brian Xanders. Cutler was expecting a reconciliation, but the meeting didn't go well from his standpoint, resulting in the trade request.

The Broncos have said they have no interest in trading their star quarterback, who set several team passing records last season and just played in his first Pro Bowl.

It's looking increasingly likely, however, that trading Cutler might be the only way to resolve the dispute.

Cutler has been unhappy since learning that McDaniels, who was New England's offensive coordinator the last three seasons, entertained the notion of trading him to Tampa Bay in a three-way swap that would have brought Cassel from the Patriots to Denver. New England instead traded Cassel to Kansas City.

Cutler believes McDaniels, who replaced Mike Shanahan in January, misled him about those trade talks.

McDaniels has said all he did was listen to the trade proposals, as he would with any player, as he tries to rebuild a Broncos team that hasn't been to the playoffs since 2005.

The Broncos have been the NFL's most active team in free agency, signing 15 players, including quarterback Chris Simms, a former starter in Tampa Bay who has thrown just two passes since having emergency surgery to remove his spleen after a game in 2006.

Simms signed for two years and $6 million, ostensibly to serve as Cutler's backup.

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Cutler asks for trade, doesn't show for meeting

This offseason has been simply fantastic. Pioli needs to get on the phone and offer Cassel for Cutler and either the Broncos 1st or 2nd round picks.

Come to Carolina baby! lol @ Kiper saying Leinart and lolVince were better NFL caliber QB's than Cutler.

How's that workin' out?
