QB Eagles

Vikings release Brad Johnson. That leaves them with Tarvaris Jackson and Brooks Bollinger on roster.

QuoteWhen the season ended, Childress indicated that Johnson would be welcomed back in a mentoring role, but the 38-year-old -- who has a fierce competitive drive that belies his easygoing demeanor -- said that he still believes he can be a starter.

Delusional.

I think the roids guy was probably Brad Childress. He wanted a HC position and knew he needed to improve his performance.

Amani The Brain Toomer should get him some too and make a comeback to support his X

QuoteCHARGERS TAKE NO CHANCES WITH TURNER

Given that the poison pill device allows a team to easily craft an offer sheet that a player's current team can't match, the San Diego Chargers have taken no chances with running back Michael Turner.

Per Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chargers have placed the highest possible tender on the restricted free agent, which requires a team who signs him to send a first-round and third-round pick to the Chargers.

"I'd just feel better to have him in '07," G.M. A.J. Smith said.  "If anything happens to L.T. – God Almighty! – that he gets hurt."

Given that league MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is likely to land on the cover of the 2008 edition of the Madden video game, it makes sense for Smith to fear the worst.  A "Madden curse" has developed over the years, with each cover boy plagued by injury or ineffectiveness in the season in which he graces the cover of the game.

(While we're thinking of it, why do they still feel compelled to put a player's picture on the cover of the game?  The practice likely started when there were multiple football simulations carrying the NFL brand.  Now that EA has a hammerlock on the license, will the presence of L.T. or Shaun Alexander or Donovan McNabb or anyone else on the cover influence whether someone actually buys the game?)

I can't imagine why you'd boo that move.  There is no way in hell the Eagles would go after him, but the Giants were a real possibility.  If he stays with the Chargers or if the Giants have to give up a 1st and a 3rd to get him, it's a much better scenario for the Eagles.

Who are the Giants going to get, anyway?  McGahee?  Dillon?

I'd love to get him but as you said, very unlikely.  And i would not want to face him 2times a year.  I do see the Giants making a play to get Mcgahee by draft day.

McGahee was the hot rumor going around, Turner and Thomas Jones were also being mentioned.

Per NFL Network - Lions trade Dre Bly to Denver for Tatum Bell and George Foster.
