Dont know how he did in the NFL combine. But I would love to have him.

He dominated the combine, ran the fastest time out of anyone with a 4.30. Pretty likely that he'll be gone before our pick.

AWESOME Off season so far

We locked up a few of the key players we had to and added a couple of others already. And FA Market hasn't even STARTED yet.

If we can add a center, WR and a dlineman before the draft, we will be ROCKING into 2009!

If we want to BE the MAN, we have to BEAT THE MAN!!!.

Interesting to compare the two contracts.

Wilson's deal, as far as we know, is $3.9 million base and $8 million guaranteed.

Bell's deal, as far as we know, is $2 million base and $10 million guaranteed.

Now there could be incentives, other bonuses, etc. But at face value it appears Bell gets 20% more up front and half as much base. At season's end, it looks like they'll both have pocketed about $12 million. That is before Uncle Sam takes half of it.

Make the throwback uniforms permanent!

I like the way we're inking our own FAs before free agency starts, but I hope we don't stop there. If we resign our own guys and don't go after one or two big-namers, I will be disappointed. We can't rest on our laurels and think we're good enough to go back out and win the AFC East again with the same players.

Great news

Good! Nice to see we are working out contracts with our FA's. Now our safety spots are locked down for a long time.

Let's now extend Chad's contract!

Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

Parcells doesn't wait around. I love it. We just need to add a few more pieces and then we follow it up with a nice draft and we will be sick!!!!

I wonder how much cap space we have left?
There is going to be a lot of good players in the first and 2nd rounds, boy am I glad we got the 2nd from Washington. If Ireland does as well this year as he did last year we should be in good shape.

When I woke up this morning, I was hoping to see we already signed Brown. I'm still waiting, but am very glad we signed Bell. I like him as a player.
