Jolly better start looking for a new line of work.

Jolly better start looking for a good woman to slap his ass around until he wakes up and realizes that he just pissed away a fortune and ruined his young life.  And that Americans are only too happy to give another chance to a &quot;hugely talented&quot; player when they&#039;re clean and sober and off the Stupid Train. 

And I know of what I speak.  I was at Oregon when Onterrio Smith was drafted by the Vikings then quickly proved himself The Dumbest Human Being Ever To Draw A Breath.  Let alone on a joint.  Smith had the football tiger by the tail and was on the doorstep of a ridiculous contract and even after the NFL rules let him slide and gave several chances to clean up, he gave them all the finger.    Forever more, Smith will be directly associated with a fake plastic phallus.  

But, because of that string of acts of stupidity, Minny now has Adrian Peterson, the best RB in the league.  So it worked out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t think Chillar will get cut as his contract is front loaded.   The bulk of his money was paid in 09/10, so I think he only is due 2.x mil this year on a contract that averaged 5 mil per year.

He&#039;s not great by any means, but his contract is probably 500K to 1M cheaper than an equivalent FA.   Might be able to move him for a 6th-7th or package him with a pick to move up a round or so.]]></description>

I fear Harrell being cut and ending up as a decent 3rd DT in Minnesota or Detroit.
------------
If it makes you feel any better, I don&#039;t think you have to worry about Harrell becoming anything anywhere, let alone Minnesota or Detroit. Hell, there&#039;s a good chance he wouldn&#039;t even make the Vikings&#039; roster.

As far as Okoye, if he shakes loose, he&#039;d be a fine fit in Minnesota. If anybody could get the best out of him, it would be Karl Dunbar and company.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Haynesworth is going into the relatively cheap part of his contract for the next two years.  Of the $48.2 m due in the first four years of his contract he already has $35.6 m. According to reports published around the time of his signing, he is due $5.4 m guaranteed in salary this year, $6.7 m non-guaranteed next year and a $500K 2012 offseason workout bonus (which he will never see).  So the Skins or another team get him for one year at $5.4 m or the next two years for $12.1 m.

Then he&#039;s due a non-guaranteed $20 m bonus in 2013.  That is the point no one pays him and he is cut.]]></description>

@touchdownsyndrome, Haynesworth will have to be cut. No one will pay that salary to guy like him. I don’t see him taking a pay cut just so he is easier to trade. He will be cut.

--------------------------------------------------
You may be right, but his 5.4 million in salary is  no longer guaranteed and who&#039;s to say he&#039;s not willing to restructure for a little less, or even restructure to more of an incentive based structure just to get away from Tannahan.

His salary as presently structured is roughly 4% of the $120 million cap, and coming into a year where it appears a new salary floor will grease the spending skids, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s unimaginable that a prideful coach may take a chance in putting frumpy dumpy back together again.

What I do know, is that MS has shown he&#039;s willing to sacrifice Snyder&#039;s coin and one of his roster spots to ensure that every other player on his team is aware that while he&#039;s there, what he says go... right or wrong.

Time will tell, I just hope he&#039;s gone sooner than later.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To me, the big name on that list is Amobi Okoye. If the reason he is being released is that he can&#039;t play in a two gapping 34 front, then I would suspect John Fox and the Broncos would piss on themselves at the chance to sign him to play in a front that is more attractive to his talents in the 43.  Would have to think the Texans would try to trade him first given his age? If his salary for 2011 is indeed in the $3m neighborhood, his last year from his rookie contract, one would assume he&#039;d get more than that on the open market.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@We&#039;reFineThere

You&#039;re high if you&#039;re going to blame the Bills for Aaron Maybin&#039;s &quot;terribleness&quot; and for overdrafting him. While I agree with him being overdrafted and wished that they would have taken Orakpo with the 11th overall, he cannot even get on the field for Special teams duties on a team that had NO pass rush last year. They had the 3 fewest sacks and he could not get on the field. What does that say about his athletic ability?

He&#039;s too small for the NFL and too immature to realize he&#039;s gotta get bigger and stronger.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the redskins don&#039;t cut Fat Al within the first hour of the league year then i think the NFL should take a hard look at either pulling the team from snyder or just contracting them alltogther.  

Clearly this guy isn;t going to play for this team and clearly no team is going to give up a draft pick for him knowing they have to release him. If they keep him on to spite him then clearly they do not care about winning.   And even as an Eagles fan I feel sorry the fans in DC as i know whats its like to have inept owner. We had one for many years who ran our Franchise into the ground.  Hopefully Snyder will sell this team and the Skins wil get an owner who interested in winning]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[touchdownsyndrome:
&quot;The Skins are not just going to simply let go of Haynesworth.&quot;

I think this will be the most fascinating situation to watch. Part of their ability to trade big Al is what&#039;s remaining on his contract and how it&#039;s structured. Assuming what&#039;s left isn&#039;t ridiculous, there&#039;s probably some teams interested. I don&#039;t see anyone offering more than a 5th round pick.

Potential suitors may just say, to heck with it and wait for the Redskins to cut him, as they&#039;re expected to do. Donovan McNabb is more likely to be traded in the short period (3-7 days according to reports) of personnel moves before roster bonuses are due and FA kicks in.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a Canadian, I do not get a lot of coverage of college football in the States, so perhaps somebody could answer this for me:

Was Amobi Okoye worthy of the top ten pick at the time? Or was he simply an average college player who teams thought would become dominant when he got older (as in 22, 23, 24)?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Sayre Bedinger, I like Dawkins but his time is done.  Denver should offer him a coaching position but he will probably take one with the Eagles if he wants to get into that.  His play was so bad last year that if he doesn&#039;t want to take a pay cut than he needs to go.  That was the 2nd worse pass defense to Houston and at some point the players need to be accountable.  Champ is still there to lead the secondary.  Dawkins would be nice to have but NO ONE will give him much to play anymore.  To old and the leadership things only takes you so far.]]></description>
