The 2007 Offseason Thread

Now the bitching will go from "Mike Doss is an older Michael Lewis" to "OMFG!! The Eagles let the Vikings get Doss!WTF were they doing with their thumbs up their asses!!"

DOSS TO VIKINGS

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that free-agent safety Mike Doss signed a one-year, $1 million contract on Tuesday night with the Minnesota Vikings.

Doss likely will be penciled in as the starting strong safety in Minnesota's Tampa 2 defense, which is the same scheme that the Colts use.  He'll be paired with veteran Darren Sharper.

The former Ohio State standout is the fourth member of the Colts' defense to leave in the wake of the team's Super Bowl XLI victory.  Cornerback Nick Harper signed with the Titans and weakside linebacker Cato June joined the Bucs.  Defensive tackle Montae Reagor was released, and signed with the Eagles.

On offense, receiver Brandon Stokley was released.  He later signed with the Broncos.

Surprisingly, however, none of the Colts free agents were able to parlay their Super Bowl pedigrees into huge paydays.  In past years, teams were more likely to overpay members of the Super Bowl champion, largely for the "sizzle" factor that comes from saying, "We might never win a Super Bowl of our own, but at least one of our players recently has."

You're assuming the Eagles genuinely had interest and were talking contract at all.

Me either.  farging Michael Lewis clone.

two scheduled visits = geniune interest

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

two scheduled visits = geniune interest

The first "scheduled visit" was a fathom of Doss and WIP's imagination as far as anyone knows, and if PFT is right about the Vikings, the 2nd one isn't going to happen one way or another either.

But....but....he told Eagles fans that he watched "Invincible" and it would be a dream to play next to Dawkins!

How did a Rosenhaus client sign for 1 yr, $1M?

[SunMo]

it was Mike Doss

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Ohio State is starting to prove they can't close the deal anyway.  I don't want any of that trash.

Taking the best attributes of Considine and Doss, you still would have a safety that gets burned in the passing game.

I figured you'd take the Hoyda way out, because that is what you are.

This is the last time I'm going to touch this, then I'm done.

You are farging clown shoes. If you think there is a single person on this board that takes a damn thing you say seriously, you're even dumber than I could possibly give you credit for. Maybe that fact that a large contigent of the board ignores just about everything you say makes us all a bunch of Hoydas, and that's okay, because you're an icehole, and dicks farg iceholes too. Keep posting your farging incoherent rubbish though, every village needs an idiot.

Taking the best attributes of Considine and Doss, you still would have a safety that gets burned in the passing game.

That is true, and according to Spads latest report on Considine's weight training, after combining the two, you would have a 760lb safety.
