At least 8 games? I think that is the ceiling, not the bottom. If he gets more than 8, that will be BS since he was already suspended for a game last year which was semi-related to this whole incident. I say 4-6 is fair. Also, it will be curious to see how they play the double jeopardy card, not that is completely applies here, but if he was already suspended and served jail time, can the league basically punish him again for something that was imposed (new conduct policy) after his incidents?

Makes sense, good info.

Obviously the only way the trade would happen would be if McNabb reworked his contract. So take that variable out of the equation. Also, no one answered my last question: If the Bears were playing in the SB last year with McNabb instead of Grossman and without Briggs, do the Bears win?

I found this article about the subject, and wanted to hear everyone's opinion. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/...ee/7596597.html With Grossman in the last year of his contract, McNabb being a possibility, and Briggs looking like he might actually sit out. Do the Bears do this trade straight up? Do they ask for more? or do the Bears just stick with Grossman? Now here is another question, if the Bears were playing in the SB last year with McNabb instead of Grossman and without Briggs, do the Bears win?

Hey now. Yeah, I don't understand what his issue is. He is signed thru 2009, it is not like he is an FA after 07 or 08. It seems like more and more players are doing this - signing a contract, getting the bonus, then trying to work a new deal within a year or two. A 3rd rounder more than likely, since his contract is really nice. He is signed thru 2009: 07 - $0.595 08 - $0.550 09 - $0.670

Yeah, it is becoming standard practice for JA.

Wow, that was quick. A 4-year deal for a 3rd rounder is somewhat rare.

A decoy is sometimes more effective than the normal play. Defenses will over compensate and will get burned. Either way they will have to gameplan for him coming out of the backfield, in the slot, or outside as a receiver. His presence alone will be a huge asset. Don't forget Olsen and Wolfe in this mix. 4 Receiver sets with Berrian, Davis, Bradley, and Hester should be fun.

Wow, wasn't there another article about this topic recently that stated the exact opposite? I wonder what has changed since then?

and to a Strip Club the night before he meets the Commish.

Since he has lost a lot in regards to public image in the media, that would seem to be the best way to repair it. Which would in turn give him and Ro$enhaus a better opportunity to cash in.

Briggs would be able to recoup a lot of his lost "respect" and probable contract money if he just shows up and keeps his mouth shut.

Ben Watson? I thought it would have been Carolina since they had the worst TE corps in the NFL, but I will take it.

I posted some Olsen pics in the Pics thread.

Rosenhaus must have filled him with some BS. Something like this: "Darius, there is no way you will get a chance to be a #1 back in Chicago, they have Benson, Peterson, and now Wolfe in front of you. Also, look at what happened to Thomas Jones. You deserve better, let me get Detroit on the line".

The Bears also signed Adams, so there may not have been enough space for him.

42 receptions 520 yds 3 TDs

75 yds/g for 16 games = 1200 yds 8 TDs

I just heard that the Giants are interested in him to replace Toomer.

Actually I just realized Keyshawn is a year older than Moose. Moose's contract: 2008: $1.6 million, 2009: $2 million, 2010: $4 million, 2011: FA So it would not be that good of an idea because you are wasting a roster spot. If Moose was making something like $5+, then I could see a move, but $1.6 and $2.0 are not bad for the next two years. I doubt he plays out the 2010 portion for $4.

I wouldn't mind if he was that cheap. However, where would he play with Moose, Berrian, Bradley, and Davis already in the lineup? I think it is hilarious that he was released, especially if you watched the draft on ESPN. He was on there talking up a storm, and when the Panthers picked Jarrett, he was so excited saying that he can't wait to mentor him. He also commented on how Jarrett was exactly like him. So I guess Carolina felt the same way and released him.

The work ethic comment is odd coming from a coach's son. The lack of blocking is just something that will come over time. I am not too worried. I think all players come out of the draft with questions, and if these are the only two, I'll take them.

Didn't know his brother was a QB and was trying out with the Bears. Good to hear the comment about being in camp. Hate to see holdouts. Olsen interview: http://video.nbc5.com/player/?id=97215
