BENTLEY HAS TORN PATELLA TENDON

A league source tells us that it's "99.9 percent certain" that Browns center LeCharles Bentley has a torn patella tendon. He is expected have surgery within 24 hours and most likely will miss the entire 2006 season.

Ordinarily, we'd talk a little bit about the team's other options for replacing Bentley, who signed a big-money deal with the team on the first day of free agency after backing out of a wink-nod arrangement with the Eagles that had been negotiated prior to the "official" launch of the signing period.

We'd also take some time to comment on the possibility that karma might be to blame for the injury.

But, hey, we're on vacation. We'll leave it to whoever reports this story after us (and who doesn't give us credit for it) to deal with those details.

Awesome.

I can't get myself to feel good about Bentley's injury. He's not T.O. for farg's sake.

Word is he is also a rabid Bush supporter, and I've heard he kicks over parked motorcycles whenever/wherever he sees them.

Jay Cutler signed a 6-yr deal tonight, which means both signed players in the 11-15 range have taken 6 years. See that, Bunk? Oh wait...you can't because you were arrested, dumbass....

I thought Wimbley's contract was 5 with a team option for a 6th for big money... or something.

BigEd76 · July 28, 2006, 10:18:35 AM

6 voidable to 5, which I don't mind them giving to Bunkley

More 1st-rd signings:

Maroney (#21, 5 yrs)
Lawson (#22, n/a but likely 5 yrs)

Bills | McCargo agrees to deal

ESPNews reports the Buffalo Bills have agreed on a five-year contract with DL John McCargo, the second of the team's two first-round draft picks. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

An all-night negotiating session between the 49ers and the agent for first-round choice Vernon Davis was rewarded with Davis making his first practice and the former Maryland star becoming the highest paid tight end in the league.

Davis signed a five-year deal Friday morning that is worth in excess of $23 million and possibility close to around $25 million. His deal tops the Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey, Tony Gonzalez, Raven Todd Heap, Jason Witten and Alge Crumpler. They make between $4.14 million and $4.5 million a year.

Ravens, Ngata reach deal
Defensive tackle agrees to five-year contract as team locks up last remaining unsigned draft pick

The Ravens have reached an agreement in principle with their first-round pick, Haloti Ngata.

The defensive tackle agreed in principle on a five-year deal. It's unknown whether he will be ready for Saturday's morning practice because he needs to sign the deal before he can suit up.

Ngata was the last Ravens rookie to reach a deal.

ROAF RETIRES

Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star reports that Chiefs tackle Willie Roaf is retiring.

As we explained earlier on Friday, Roaf is the guy to whom we were referring when we mentioned last month the possibility of a surprise retirement. When Roaf failed to report for training camp on Thursday due to "personal reasons," it was obvious to us that folks close to the situation had been putting out the word that Roaf wasn't retiring in order to keep the issue under wraps while efforts to talk Roaf into playing another year continued.

Roaf was "emphatic" in the spring that he would play this year. In June, however, we heard from several sources (and then confirmed through a source close to Roaf) that the 11-time Pro Bowler was wavering.

Roaf told Teicher that he apprised the team of his intentions several weeks ago. "I guess they want me to reconsider,'' Roaf said. "I'm solid on retiring and going back to school."

With Roaf and John Welbourn gone, Jordan Black practiced at left tackle and Kyle Turley practiced at right tackle on Thursday

This will give more creedence to Bunkley's request for a 5 year deal, they need to get him in ASAP.
