Not sure where Hall gets the gall to call out Sherman. I mean, he just won a Super Bowl. The Redskins fielded one of the worst secondaries ever.

Hall is nothing but a walking personal foul...he'll make a nice play from time to time and give it all back with a late hit out of bounds or some other stupid shit. Why he's mouthing off to literally anyone is a mystery for the ages.

Pretty happy with what the Vikings are doing:

Re-signed
QB Cassel - 2yr/$10M
DE Griffen - 5yr/$42.5M
C/G Berger 1yr/???
RB Asiata 1yr/rfa tender
NT Evans 1yr/???
CB Sherels 2yr/$2.2M
LB Dean 1yr/???

New
CB Munnerlyn 3yr/$15M
CB Cox 1yr/???
DT Joseph 5yr/$31.5M
MLB Brinkley 1yr/???


Munnerlyn and Joseph are really both solid signings. We haven't had a true nose tackle since Pat Williams and Captain sounds like the perfect slot cover guy. I remember last season Cox was a big name FA and then he tanked in San Diego. Seems like a Zimmer type of signing. We need a guard and help at LB still, but definitely nice to see the team address their biggest needs with pretty solid signings.

Really don't mind Cassel being this team's QB for a couple years either.

If one of the 3 QBs drops to #8, I still think we should take him (and then let them compete with Cassel for the starting job), but I'm okay with this, too, given the other options. It does seem like they're preparing to take a LB with that #8 pick...or trade down. Spielman has done a good job of drafting the last few years, so I trust him to make good decisions on draft day.

I agree with this strategy completely. Take any of the top 3 of they are there at 8, otherwise I trust Rick to make the right call with trading down or whatever.

looks like browner had a good interview with the patriots but -according to his agent- despite rumors last night that the pat's signed him- not signed- as of yet. now if the patriots got browner - he has a 4 game suspension to serve- after game 4, the patriots might just have a great pass defense..at least at the corners.

Cassell is competent and serviceable for a rebuilding effort. It's really hard to hate on the guy. He's genuinely enthusiastic about football and tries his best. A real likable fellow.

Yes. Browner is a great corner. Him comboed with Revis you guys would have a good defensive secondary, at least at the corners. I wish the Seahawks would be able to resign him, but salary cap concerns make that a fantasy.

I have no clue why we signed Chris Cook to a one year deal. Wasn't he ranked dead last among CBs last year? I really hope this is a special teams move.

Nicks seems like a big risk on a one year deal, must be a rental. Seemed like the guy has the Darrelle Revis approach to being loudly unhappy with his contract just without the same level of skill at his position. Not at all surprised that Coughlin was done with him.

Yeah I don't get this at all either, especially since they were meeting with Thurmond as well.

And now we didn't resign Brown. Apparently he accepted a one year deal with the Raiders for 3.5m. Reports are that we had a 3yr/10m dollar offer on the table, but his entire contract is guaranteed in Oakland. Seems completely retarded and pisses me off, seeing as he was the one defensive player I was pretty adamant that we resign.

He's got the injury concerns too I think.
