Don't insult Brees like that.

Almost.

But not really.

It's a little under seven years.

60 seconds in a minute
3,600 seconds in an hour
86,400 seconds in a day
604,800 seconds in a week
31,449,600 seconds in a year

7 years * 31449600 seconds = 220,147,200

[prock]

I really wanted Bushrod. That would have been awesome to be able to cut McKinnie.

[fenikz]

Kolb 5/63 20 guaranteed :/

[V.I.P]

LOL typo ... 20 mill guaranteed.

Hey Chiefs fans...

Matt Maiocco

Isaac Sopoaga said he found out yesterday while meeting with DL coach Jim Tomsula he'd be moving to nose tackle for the 49ers.

Means no interest in re-signing Aubrayo Franklin

Sorry, I was doing the math in reverse and carried it wrong.

Manish Mehta


Source tells me #Jets talked conceptually about numbers for Brad Smith. BUT it was all contingent on what happens with Nnamdi Asomugha talks

And that's why.

Franklin is about to get PAID. But at least that least the 9ers a ton of money to sign Nnamdi

[RaiderNation]

Raiders are rumored to be interested in Duece Lutui from Arizona. Fits what we are trying to do, be a big run blocking oline. If we add him and Gaither i would be very happy.

LT Gaither
LG Lutui

Yeah, with letting Spikes, Baas, and Franklin walk, cutting Clements, and likely letting Lawson walk as well, they have more than enough to get him if they choose (and he wants).

What has Kolb done to be worth DRC and a 2nd?

What has he done to be worth that contract?

[Brodeur]

Stanton is a better QB than Kolb, and he's our third stringer. I just wanted to mention that...

[K Train]

whats this madness of campell always at guard for them? hes 6-8 and skinny despite being 310 pounds, he would get stood up all day at guard.

if hes that worthless at tackle, the only other positions he should ever be tried at is DE and TE...if not hes gonna go through life just being a gigantically super strong and athletic dude

[Complex]

i said earlier that i thought DRC was too much, and i think a 2nd would have been ok since thats the going rate for backups turned starters...both is insane, that deal on top of it makes ir more insane....and im sticking to that i think stanton and edwards were better back then and should have been drafted first, any reid really pulled a mind **** here.

it was an elaborate plan to draft kolb higher than he should have gone and before guys that should have been taken first so he can convince the world that he saw something in the kid that no one else could sniff out. then all it took was a report from john madden saying when he bring up kolbs name, andy reid light up like a christmas tree.

biggest winner in the deal? kolb maybe since hes laughing to the bank....but im going with the cards second round pick since he doesnt have to play in the fiasco we call the arizona cardinals

[marshallb]

Packers cut Justin Harrell, and this was posted on twitter about him:

Sorry but not surprised to see #Packers cut Justin Harrell. One of the nicest people I've ever met in the NFL but unbelievably snake-bitten.

@TomPelissero
Tom Pelissero
To wit: Harrell hurt his back twice in one year. The first time was lifting weights. The second time, he told me, he was taking a dump.

@TomPelissero

If your No. 1 pick hurts himself going No. 2, it's likely not going to work out. Someone may take another shot, though. Best of luck to him.

LOL

[M.O.T.H.]

I like how they're saying that a 1st round pick for Kolb just never developed.

DRC and a 2nd > A 1st round pick

[ElectricEye]

I just don't understand the Kolb deal, even now that it happened. There's plenty of quarterbacks who have come in as backups and torched bad defenses before. Kolb could be an average quarterback in the NFL and that's certainly worth something(Maybe even a second), but it's not worth committing for those kinds of dollars and years.

That would be great but I haven't even heard if the Chiefs are interested...

That said it's a huge need and they have money to spend time will tell.
