Jets and Bills also in there for Cutler.

Might as well send all the talent over to the AFC East :D

If I was Buffalo, i'd stick with Edwards.

I want the Jets to sign him and Favre to then come back and put them $10m over the cap ;)

If Favre comes back I might have to fly over there and give him a slap. Enough is enough!

I just can't believe how quickly this Cutler situation has escalated. Not surprised that the Jets are sniffing around, but Denver have really messed this up.

Sorry, can you repeat that?

Lots more rumours today about the Skins going for Cutler

This has got to be the most laughable of the lot though.

The deal would see Jay Cutler, Tony Scheffler and Cleveland’s 3rd round pick going to Washington.

Jason Campbell and Chris Cooley Going to Cleveland and one of Denver’s 5th round picks.

Brady Quinn going from Cleveland to Denver and LaRon Landry from Washington will be going to Denver. And we thought that the Bailey-Portis trade was big. Our source says that teams will announce the deal at 5pm this evening.

Campbell's in the last year of his contract and the Skins haven't offered him a new one, hence the rumours, but I can't see us giving up two of our top players for a QB who's yet to win a play-off game.

It's a wind-up anyway, but I wouldn't put anything past the Skins FO :)

I would prefer Campbell over Cutler I think, he's showing some promise even if he didn't completely fulfull that last season. Give him time, but that maybe the key, they don't want to?

i agree. He was hampered last season by a bad O-line and teams double-teaming Moss and Cooley. He had no-one else to throw to really

Julius Peppers, who Mike Lombardi says is owed $17m next season, and the Patriots, who Mike Lombardi says refuse to pay anyone more than what Tom Brady gets, which next year is $12m.

So if this happens, either Mike Lombardi is a liar or Julius Peppers doesn't need $5m.

I'll clear up what I put. I'll try and do the whole situation in quick, short sections. And quote it so it takes up less space.

My thoughts:
Peppers would not get the money for the Franchise Tag if he comes to New England. He is coming here as an unproven 3-4 OLB and therefore does not get the money of an All-Pro 4-3 DE.
I am sceptical due to our position under the cap. I make it around $7m under the cap. But in restructuring Brady and 2 other players (whose names I forgot), another $9m can be created.

My next theory which has been talked about is the Uncapped Year in 2010.
There is thoughts that you tie up other teams FAs in 2009.
You then re-sign your main guys in 2010. Which for the Patriots includes Vince Wilfork, Logan Mankins and Stephen Gostkowski. (Note: I don't include Seymour) ;)

My final thought is that if I have a choice of Julius Peppers on a $12m per year contract over 7 years or Jason Taylor, our #34 pick and only $5-6m a year or so. There is no comparison for me.
I take Taylor for 2 years in a heartbeat. I then draft Connor Barwin who is a DE/OLB hybrid and let him learn the system behind Taylor and Thomas and then unleash him when Taylor goes.

My 3 other comments of the day:
1. Denver fans, blame Bernard Pollard for the mess that you have.
2. Why do Carolina want #34 rather than #23?
3. Check out the link below for an EXCLUSIVE 10 minute conversation with NFL Draft 2009 Prospect Connor Barwin from Cincinnati and myself.

And yes, it is legit and did come from Facebook :D

:rolleyes:

This is the most tenuous single thing you have ever posted.

a) Its a joke.

b) Did you not watch Total Access yesterday? There was a whole joke feature on how it all came back to him

hohoho, and I thought the UK transfer window was silly season

Cutler to Redskins in three-way deal? Cassel to Denver?

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the Washington Redskins are trying to land unhappy quarterback Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos. According to the report, the rumored deal would also include the Kansas City Chiefs.

According to the report, Cutler would end up in Washington, Matt Cassel in Denver and Jason Campbell in Kansas City.

According to The Inquirer, the 'Skins are denying they have any intention of dumping Campbell, which shows they were paying attention when the Broncos got themselves into this mess to begin with. New coach Josh McDaniels, formerly QB coach and offensive coordinator for the Patriots, actively tried to trade Cutler for Cassel last month, didn't succeed, then lied about it.

KC must be getting something as well.

Washington get Cutler.
Denver get Cassel and something.
KC get Campbell and something.

Say Washington give up a 2nd and Campbell for Cutler.
Denver get a 2nd and give up a 3rd and Campbell for Cassel.
KC get a 3rd and Campbell for Cassel.

Or something like that because the 3 QBs are different abilities.

I just don't see it happening. And I don't see the Skins giving up any more draft picks. We've only got four picks as it is.

And I don't want us to give up picks next season

True, the Skins never seem to use the picks but use Free Agency a lot more than other teams do.

The amount that the Pats have been in FA has surprised me. We have 9 picks now as well as a likely 3 Compensatory picks ranging from Round 3 (Samuel) to 2 5ths (Stallworth and others).

So, I see us trading up or into next year as we don't have enough roster spots for all the rookies.

Philly have loads of draft picks (a million) but only 3 players :(

These trade rumours make me laugh. Who's to say the Chiefs want to give up Cassel?

Do the Chiefs actually want Campbell?

Lot of straw clutching

Hilarious. About as silly as when the rumour first surface about Lombardo joining Palace ... :o

Precisely.

No way Cassel goes anywhere unless the Chiefs get a first I would say.

Although unless i'm mistaken, Cassel hasn't got a new contract and still has the $14m contract for one year. So if he refused to play ball with the Chiefs and wants to go to Josh, he could screw them and say he wants to go and will only stay in KC for one year.

Next it will be:
Browns, get picks
Jets, get Cutler
Chiefs, get Brohm
Broncos get Cassel
Bucs get Romo
Patriots get McDaniels and Pioli
Cowboys get O'Connell
Packers get Favre
in a blockbuster 8-team trade.

(Check it, I think it works out) ;)

Basically incredible. My photo diaries speak for themselves:
