Keyshawn to Dallas? Garcia cut, Portis and Bailey traded
It's still football, football, football.

Keyshawn restructuring contract with Dallas. Galloway doing the same in Tampa. As a Dallas fan, good riddance to Galloway. Keyshawn - too slow, getting older, and not good in the locker room. Could do better than this guy.

Garcia cut. Wants to play near a Jack Daniels distillery. No, really, very overrated. A product of the system.

Washington - good grief. Portis is a good player, but never trade a cover corner! Signed Arrington to a big contract instead - cover corners are much harder to find than linebackers. The philosophy of Jimmy.

1. I heard the following rumours...
Cannot verify the accuracy.

Heard that Corey Dillon may be headed to Broncos.

AJ Feely to Miami.

Chicago DE Daniels going to Washington.

Kearse has not been made an offer by Tennessee. So he's up for grabs.

2. There is no way the Broncos would take Dillon.
They dumped Portis because he had 2 years left on his contract and was starting to yammer about renegotiating it.

Why would the Broncos dump an elite back but grumbling back like Portis for a fair-to-middlin grumbling back like Dillon?

3. Don't kill the messenger.
It's just a rumour. We shall see.

And fair to middlin? He's a notch or too above that for sure.

6. i'll break those down
Dillon to Denver: no. Shanahan would rather draft a runningback, and there are plenty of good ones in this draft.

Feely to Miami: yes. He's the next Jay Fiedler.

Daniels to Washington: happened today I believe.

Keyshawn to Dallas: I can sit here and pray.

Kearse will be signed by someone like Arizona, who has a ton of cap room and a great headcoach finally.

9. Just heard Redskins going after Kearse.
Snyder has way too much money.

11. they can't afford it
they are signing brunell to a massive contract, they're signing portis to a massive contract, and they signed daniels to a large one. This isn't like baseball where the owner with the most cash can get whoever he wants.

12. That's what I heard.
I am aware of the salary cap, my friend. I am also aware of salary cap creativity. There are ways.

4. Keyshawn's best days are behind him.
Sadly he's not a team player any more. He has issues off the field that affect his performance. If he could concentrate on the game he would be alright but I don't see that happening.

8. washington's o-line is nothing like denver's though
