I was thinking to myself...
...that Culpepper just looked, in my mind, like he'd end up with the Dolphins.
I could picture it.
Brees, man, go from a playoff contender to the bottom of the barrel. Wow. Didn't see that coming.
I don't see Ramsey as a Jet either but, looks that way I guess.

I guess people were wondering what was going on with Brees, why wasn't there more intrest? I know I was. Then I heard today that the injury he has is the same thing that Chad Penington had. Eventually alot of teams were scared away by this. I was surprised too though that he went to teh Saints, I think SD is gonna me sorry he is gone.

Penn said:I still don't see what team would want to take a chance on Owens, after his spectacle this last year.......
I hate to say this and don't want to see it but I think Dallas would be one of the only teams that he might fit into. Although Parcells might suffer a heart attack before it is all over with.

Ramsey odd man out...
...Dante to Miami, Brees to N'awlins. Kitna to Detroit. The prognosticator word is that now the Jets go for Leinhart of USC.
No one is trading for Ramsey, especially after Dante only garnered a second round pick and the Skins have 5 guys, Brunell, Ramsey, Collins and Campbell plus Randel El, at QB.
There's only 4 teams left not set at QB; Cleveland, the Jets, the Raiders and the Packers. The Browns already have a vet in Dilfer and the Pack is, obviously, only if Brett retires and the Raiders if they let Collins go and if the Jets go for Leinhart and decide Boller is an unproven guy they at least know, then, along with Ferotte and Brooks now floating around, that doesn't leave very many chairs for Pat when the music stops. Maybe Cinncy if Palmer isn't on schedule.
And none of this allows foir Vince Young which could be the way the Raiders or Pack go given what it seems the other top picking teams are looking at...
And this doesn't allow for what the Titans may do looking to replace an aging McNair.
Nor is there a clue as to Penningtons future.
Further in this outlook is that the Jets ain't going anywhere soon, so that lends itself to go with Leinhart and let the team grow with him.
The same argument says that the Saints, also going nowhere soon, messed up with Brees because they could have had their pick of Leinhart or Young.
So, the Redskins are a play away from Campbell or Collins and Ramsey, last years day one starter, doesn't look like a fit anywhere at this point.
The amazing world of pro football.

I left the Texans out...
...because they forked over $6 some odd mil roster bonus to Carr a month or so ago and they and everyone else keep saying Bush. But, yeah, anythings possible. I had written that Vince the Longhorn was a natural for Houston, as I see it, given all their other weaknesses, but, I ain't in charge. I don't see them needing Bush either with a proven, durable pro like Davis. Again, just my opine.
No one is going to give up anything for Ramsey because his value is zero; They showed their hand, for those paying no attention whatsoever, signing Collins. The Skins can't just keep the guy. I mean, I guess they could but who is going to give up a pick thinking Gibbs would otherwise keep a player he's already show zero respect for? Where's the logic? They save almost $2 mil if they just cut him and everyone knows that.
If Joe Gibbs is not willing to just let Ramsey go after the way he has treated him AND the class Ramsey has shown, I lose some respect for Gibbs which I already have in how he's handled this matter. Money means NOTHING to the Redskins.
If the Redskins get Abraham AND are able to sign some draft picks, I think we can do away with any talk of the cap ever again meaning anything. It's a joke.
With a $100 mil a year and higher cap number you can essentially sign anyone you want for a $10 mil signing bonus on a 5 year contract times 50 guys, or $500 million, and have it spread over the five years to equal the $100 mil yearly cap.
Think about that. That is obviously an exageration because you won't keep everyone for five years and thus need to replace them with new contracts but you are also not going to give 50 guys $10 mil to sign so, given probably 30 guys making and counting only one million a year or so, that leaves $70 million a year in cap room for your 20 or so big time players.
Obviously $70 mil is way more than even 20 superstars are going to cost so, the room is simply there to play with. It's a simple matter of guys numbers from 3,4 and 5 years ago who are long gone but still count cap wise (Bruce Smith, Dion, etc...) finally expiring from counting in time to go on and nail down the next bunch of big numbers while balancing the new numbers.
The Skins were OVER by almost $20 mil a week ago and have just spent some $20 mil more. So much fo the 'cap'.

I'd LOVE to see Ramsey...
...get a shot at bombs away in Oakland. Porter and Moss?
Randy Moss is a guy who you simply throw the ball to no matter how he's covered. Ramsey throws smoke, not floaters, so, at most, the D only has time to double him and that's IF they call a play to double him at the snap.
Porter is a hell of an option as well. Those two and Ramseys attitude towards giving guys time to get open AND throw the damn thing instead of the Brunell art of eat it or throw it to the peanut guy virtually guarantees 4 defenders MUST be off the line of scrimmage, every play. That, by my math, leaves 7 to stop the run, then throw in the 6' 7" Courtney Anderson at TE who you have to cover in man or he'll catch a ball for 5 yards every time and now you got 6 defenders trying to stop the run.
Anyone in the NFL can run againt 6.
Love to see him in black and silver.

I hope the best for Ramsey, I was not a supporter of him while he was here, I would get frustrated with him too easy. I do how ever appreciate how he didn't make too many waves and was a team player. I think you are right that he may fit for Oakland although I hate to see him go to that franchise, Raiders are very low on my totum pole of NFL teams.
