BBTV Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's essentially a 1yr 7M contract with 3.5M in unreachable incentives (if he starts and wins the SB, he gets 1M, if he plays 90% of offensive snaps, he gets 500K, etc.)Only 3.5M is guaranteed, so he's not a stone-cold lock to be on the roster, plus he's easy to trade (contract wise at least.)My assumption is that Kelly just doesn't think Nick Foles is athletic enough, and isn't sure that even if he gets Dixon, he's even a borderline NFL-caliber player. So yeah - Vick is a 1-year punching bag while they install whatever system he's using and then try to draft someone in '14.

BigEd76 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The Eagles hired Tom Gamble away from the Niners for a second stint in Philly. He'll go from Director of Player Personnel to VP of Player Personnel but will still report to the GM Howie Roseman. Amazing get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The Bears terminated Johnny Knox's contract and a day later he leaves the game. No surprise at all considering the gruesomeness of the injury that nearly paralyzed him, but he'll still get his full pension/benefits courtesy of the Bears keeping him on for another season, very similar to Jahvid Best's situation with the Lions.

He was pretty eh in his career. But hearing that Jahvid Best is probably done really bums me out. I saw him play live vs Miami in the Emerald Bowl a few seasons ago and he was the most impressive running back I've ever seen in person. He had so much potential, and it's a shame that his small size and concussion problems ended his career.

ninersdd Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 We know about the time he got helicoptered against Oregon State in 2009, but I can't remember how he got his 2nd concussion that has made him miss so much time. I know he got hurt against the 49ers in the handshake game, but it definitely wasn't as insane as the 09 play.

Amazing getThe whole 'reporting to Howie' part kinda renders this move irrelevant IMO, since I don't see Howie as the type that would listen to anyone and give them any credit.

He was lucky just to be able to walk after that injury. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New England is a team that would love Charles I figure.Sucks, but the Packers have a very talented crop of young DB's who only need the playing time and experience. Would've been great to keep him one more year, but it wouldn't have made sense to pay $10 million for a dime back when the team needs all the help it can get on the D-Line... specifically, a Cullen Jenkens-like DT who can blow up the middle.

I honestly didn't think losing Jenkins would hurt this bad, especially since BJ Raji has taken two steps back.

Marvin always likes to take on these lost causes and Dalton could use more weapons in the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I think Cincy's his last hope. Schwartz and Fisher are two of the more lenient when it comes to character issues in the NFL, with Lewis being another. Can't think of many more teams that would take that risk, regardless of how bad they are. Not worth bringing a cancer into a locker room based solely on potential.I guess it's not all potential, though, since he's better than Calvin already. Just without the whole speed/height/route running/catching/attitude thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just without the whole speed/height/route running/catching/attitude thing.We (the bengals) have bigger problems than this idiot if & when he ends up on the team. The problems begin in the owners box as long as the brown family owns this team and won't spend any money we are doomed to be just a good team. And I am really hoping that we don't waste our first round pick this year on Eddy Lacy I mean the guy is good but def. not what we need. I would like to see them pick up Reggie Bush or steal Mendenhall from the steelers for that purpose but like I said its the brown family and they won't spend a dime more than they have to on this team. Man I feel better after letting that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Young also had attitude problems early on at Boise State, even getting suspended for most of his sophomore year for fighting a teammate. It's sad, I thought he had finally matured by the end of his college career, but apparently not. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
