Around the NFL - 2011

[Rome]

Panther signed Jon Beason to a 5yr $50M extension with $25M guaranteed; highest paid ILB in NFL history per Schefter.

That really isn't all that horrible a deal.  You're going to see a lot of outlandish deals because of the 99% rule but Beason is a really good player.

-- Atlanta released Jamaal Anderson and Michael Jenkins
-- the Jets released Mark Brunell
-- ex-Raven safety Dawan Landry to the Jags....5-yr deal
-- mentioned in the Dallas topic, Tampa Bay signed ex-Falcon punter Michael Koenen.....6/$19.5M/$6.5M guaranteed (wtf)

Sounds like Diddy has some sour grapes.

I remember Sal Pal saying he was a player the Birds had targeted....

To be fair, the NFL Network does suck.

there isn't a worse collection of football talking heads in all of the land.

[BigEd76]

-- McGahee to the Broncos....3/$7.5M/$3M guaranteed
-- Miami decided not to trade for Kyle Orton and signed Matt Moore to a 2-yr deal instead

[Feva]

Ray Edwards to the Falcons.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

-- Miami decided to tank the season and hope for Andrew Luck

On a serious note, the NFL has to be concerned on some level that this isn't want a lot of teams are doing. Tavaris Jackson in Seattle? Matt Moore in Miami? Beck in Washington? Kind of obvious those teams are saying "farg it". So much for parity and "every team has a shot".

One more reason for you shteinheads  to go to Miami in December.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

One "more" reason? What is (are) the initial reason(s)?

You will be there, wearing only a loin cloth and an eye patch?
Miller Lite for everyone?
excursion to Emeril's South Beach?
