While I think it’s an excellent policy to ignore anything that Myers says, his latest article is even more astoundingly stupid than usual.
“If Ryan takes Johnson’s private plane from Morristown, N.J., to Hattiesburg, Miss., around June 15 and shows up in Brett Favre’s driveway, would anybody be shocked?
…
Woody, get the engines warmed up and bring the team doctors. Road trip. It’s time to do a little hunting with Brett.”
While I think Cutler is not going anywhere because Denver wants a good replacement in return, I will be quite disappointed if he goes elsewhere and the Jets are not at least inquiring. If he were to go to Minnesota or Detroit I will be irritated because they have less to trade back than we do (Clemens or Ratliff). Cleveland, I can understand because Quinn is someone denver might want as a replacement.
I wonder how much less Baker had to sign for??? Anyone know?
Here’s what Chris Baker got from the Pats for anyone that still regrets the decision not to pay him $9m in guaranteed money:
Five years, $14.4 million, including a $1.5 million signing bonus. There’s a $1.2 million option bonus in 2011 and $100,000 workout bonuses each season. His base salaries are $1.6 million, $2.0 million, $2.1 million, $2.6 million and $2.9 million
Basically, they will be able to get rid of him with a minimal cap hit as soon as he has outlived his usefulness.
Mangini + Kokinis = Mankok! That’s hysterical, I’m LMAO!
Any interest in Holliday, anyone? Solely as a backup.
Ramble, agreed!
Quite a downgrade from Tangini to ManKok!
