Around the NFL - 2012

something tells me howie doesnt want to give pimp six million much less 60

but lets say he really does wanna sign him long term....i think the VJ deal hurts negotiations far more than calvin williams

[reese125]

No doubt. They are the same player except VJack is taller.

Calvin Johnson is on another stratosphere than Desean.

i dont really see how they are the same player....one is tiny maybe the fastest guy in the nfl who opens the field up for everyone the other is huge and scores touchdowns by going up and getting balls

i was more saying that you can make an argument that those two are on the same level and deserve money that is in the same ball park....especially when you factor in vj's age and off the field troubles

[reese125]

I was speaking in terms of numbers-which ultimately is what separates you from the other elites in negotiating future contracts. Their numbers are the same and they are both boom or bust receivers.

Sure VJack is taller and goes up and gets balls but if you both have a history of not producing on a consistent basis what the hell is the difference.

-- Jacksonville gave 5/$32M/$17M guaranteed to Dallas' #3 WR

-- Peyton Hillis went from the Madden cover to signing a 1/$3M deal to be a backup on the Chiefs

Had no idea he was even a FA. Is Shane Lechler still in the running for this year's Madden?

The Browns just gave Dimitri Patterson some coin:

Florio is reporting that the Browns have re-signed cornerback Dimitri Patterson to a three-year, $16 million contract.

The deal guarantees Patterson $6 million.

Patterson, 29 in June, operated as the Browns' nickel corner last season, covering the slot on passing downs. Joe Haden and Sheldon Brown were the outside cornerbacks, though Brown may move to safety this year depending on the team's acquisitions in the draft and rest of free agency.

Patterson finished last season with 28 tackles and 12 pass breakups. He had four interceptions as a nine-game starter in Philadelphia the year before.

[Sgt PSN]

Eh, good for him. 

[Rome]

Good for us that he's no longer in Philly.

Also - Sheldon's moving to safety, huh?

Hmmm...

Mario Williams, Buffalo Bill

[rjs246]

Wow. Welcome to Bolivian, Mario.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Bolivian sounds good. I may have that for dinner now.

[ice grillin you]
