loyalboyd Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Al Davis, please pick up the white courtesy phone... It wasn't for health reasons. SO I can see Al bringing him over with the cash he got left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 From what I understand he did very well with his physical, but Cleveland was asking him to take a backup role. He asked for his release & they granted the request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Someone is landing a heck of a player...he's only 28 too. I can see Denver getting involved in the bidding for him. With Nalen missing so much time last season with injury and getting up in years, it would be a smart move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Nalen missing so much time last season with injury and getting up in years, it would be a smart move. But will any team blindly shell out the cash that Al would? Probably not. Because other teams will pay him fairly - but Al will over pay him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's an owner in DC that has an open checkbook that hasn't been used in quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 oooh come to Seattle!! I know we have tried to get him before, and we still have an unproven at one guard spot, seems perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I wouldn't be in a hurry to jump on that train after being out 2 years. Physical or no physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Whats with the talk of Oakland signing him? Didnt they cut Rhodes when they did because they were over the cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I could have sworn I saw footage of him on NFL Network yesterday in Browns' OTAs when the storyline was about his return. If that's the case, CLE must not have been impressed much at all with what they saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The Vikings have not re-signed Matt Birk, who has made it known that he wanted a new contract before his expires at the end of this season. Minnesota is poised to go in another direction. A season for Bentley to backup Birk and then take over blocking full-time for Adrian Peterson sounds like a great fit to me.

I'm just saying that if it was made clear that it was jsut for one season, maybe he would agree to it given that the Vikings are bound to win a couple of Superbowls over the next couple of years.

If he is health, he could come in to Buffalo and start next year. Fowler is the weakest part of our line right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Miami is revamping their oline. Sam Satele is pretty much entrenched, is he not? Dude's also a 2nd year player and from what I have head from fish fans I know, Miami is very high on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota is poised to go in another direction. A season for Bentley to backup Birk and then take over blocking full-time for Adrian Peterson sounds like a great fit to me. He's spent a lot of time around the center of the universe (Lambeau Field). Could be an agents ploy to get more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muck Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Maybe KC could take a look, seeing how we only spent two of our thirteen picks on offensive linemen, despite our need for four or five of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
