Re: Around The NFL
How low will Eagles go to jettison Samuel?
By Jeff McLane Fri, Apr. 20, 2012, 5:35 PM
The Eagles received a trade offer from the Denver Broncos for cornerback Asante Samuel, an NFL source said.
The Denver Post first reported the Broncos' interest in the four-time Pro Bowler. According to the newspaper, Denver had two offers on the table - one involving a fifth- or sixth-round pick in next week's draft, the other for an unnamed player.
The Eagles were believed to be seeking a third- or fourth-round pick for Samuel, but are willing to take less than that, according to two NFL sources.
So what is the hang-up?
While Samuel has agreed to restructure the remaining two years of his contract - he's slated to earn $10 million this season and $11.5 million next season - he has yet to consent to some other requests by Denver, sources said.
The Eagles have been talking with other teams about Samuel, who has been on and off the market since last summer after the team acquired Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
An exchange with Detroit, which would have netted the Eagles two second-day draft picks, was broached in August but fell apart for reasons other than compensation. Samuel started 14 games at his regular left-corner spot, but his off-corner style did not appear to suit the Eagles' new defensive scheme.
He missed the final two games of the season and Rodgers-Cromartie filled in - seemingly without missing a beat.
Samuel, though, is still considered an elite corner in some circles. The 31-year-old has 45 career interceptions, 23 of those coming during his four seasons in Philadelphia. He showed up for offseason workouts this week, partly to collect a bonus, and told the Eagles' website that his preference was to remain here.
The Eagles, though, have decided to move on, and appear willing to take whatever they can get before the draft starts Thursday.

Draft prospect Alfonzo Dennard arrested for assaulting a police officer
Posted by Mike Florio on April 21, 2012, 11:11 AM EDT
There aren’t many hard-and-fast rules when it comes to the period before a player gets drafted by the NFL.
“Don’t punch a cop in the face” is at or near the top of the list.
Unfortunately, former Nebraska cornerback Alfonzo Dennard didn’t get the memo, allegedly. According to the Omaha World-Herald, Dennard was arrested early Saturday on multiple charges, including suspicion of assaulting a Lincoln, Nebraska police officer.
Dennard allegedly was fighting with another man outside a bar. When the authorities tried to intervene, Dennard allegedly punched one of them in the face.
The second-round (before this incident) prospect faces charges of suspicion of third-degree assault on an officer, resisting arrest, and third-degree assault for the underlying fight.
Dennard, who is expected to remain in jail through the weekend, was ejected from the 2012 Capital One Bowl for fighting with South Carolina receiver Alshon Jeffrey.
In hindsight, it’s a good thing that none of the officials got close enough to get cold-cocked.

Re: Around The NFL
Some draft whispers from Pro Football Weekly -- these are always fun, because the PFW staff has lots of contacts with scouts and front offices. Half of these are probably the insider's honest opinion, and half are smokescreens:
• “What really bothers me about (Clemson DE-OLB Andre) Branch — where was he earlier in his career? You can make excuses for him and say he split time with (Da'Quan) Bowers, but one-year producers have always scared me. They are chasing the money. Most guys change when they get it. … I thought his pad level was very inconsistent on tape. He’s a digester. He doesn’t feel blocking pressure. I can’t believe he has been talked about in the first (round). I don’t know any (other teams) that graded him there.”
• “To me, (Wisconsin C Peter) Konz does not play with any power. If he does not play with technique, he gets out of sorts. He is smart and tough. I don’t think he is anywhere near the Pouncey brothers. He’s a third-rounder for me.”
• “(Alabama S Mark) Barron was only about 85 percent recovered from surgery at his (pro-day) workout. He didn’t do any of the shuttles or quick movement stuff, but he ran and performed drills. He is the real deal. He is solid. You know exactly what you are getting.”
• “(Michigan State DT) Jerel Worthy is a con guy. I think that will hurt him. He was the most distracted interview we had. He was all over the place. You get excited by some of the flashes on tape — he’s a ‘wow’ player. But he don’t get it. Someone might take him in the first, but you would feel a lot better getting him in the second.”
• “(Stanford TE) Coby Fleener is rising. He does not get outside the first (round).”
• “(North Carolina DE) Quinton Coples tanked it (this year). His play scares me. I don’t know that we could pull the trigger. That’s a tough question, man. We’d have to think about it where we’re picking (in the back half of the first round).”
• “(Illinois DE) Whitney Mercilus is projecting higher as a 3-4 rush guy. That’s who I think will wind up drafting him.”
• “(Texas OLB) Keenan Robinson does not play with any technique. He ran slow (4.8 seconds). We had him in the third (round) during the fall. I don’t know if he goes until the fifth (round). It’s going to take him some time.”
• “(West Virginia DE Bruce) Irvin is starting to heat up in our place, but how high do you take a situational player with a history of issues? … I don’t think he is a bad kid. He’s just immature.”
• “I don’t think (Midwestern State OG) Amini Silatolu is a first (-rounder). I would not take him before the second. He has some issues that you can’t hide in (our town).”
• “(Oregon RB) LaMichael James ran too fast to get out of the second (round). I don’t think he will. We would strongly consider (drafting him) if he’s there.”
• “(USC OLT) Matt Kalil is a good, solid player, but tell me who the next-best left tackle is. Cordy Glenn is a guard for me. (Ohio State’s) Mike Adams is soft and doesn’t train. Riley Reiff has everything you want — he’s just not a very good foot athlete. The guy with left tackle feet is (Oklahoma’s) Donald Stephenson. He doesn’t work and doesn’t lift and had to sit out a season for his (issues). There is a big 'miss' factor there with him, but on his talent alone, he could play at a high level.”
• “You don’t expect nose tackles to be good pass rushers, but (Washington’s) Alameda Ta’amu can really push the pocket. You’d like him to refine his hand placement and be more consistent, but he is strong, and he knocks (blockers) off the ball as well as anyone in the draft. He’ll be a good player in the league.”
• “(Iowa State OT) Kelechi Osemele is intelligent and might be able to convince a coach for 2-3 days at an all-star game that he is a good guy, but when you are around him too long, you realize he is full of it. I think he’ll be a right tackle in the league, not a left.”
• “I think (Mississippi OT) Bobby Massie will go somewhere in the top 50. He’s a right tackle only, for me. Would you be excited to pull his card off the board? I wouldn’t be. But I think he will be a starter and, if he picks it up mentally and works at it, will be fairly solid. You can’t lose sight of the fact that almost every team is down offensive linemen. There just are not enough of them.”
• “(Michigan State’s) Edwin Baker looked good at his pro day. I think he’ll go in the fourth round. I would not take him there — I wouldn’t. I think he is a role player in the NFL. He had a better workout than he played. I just think the way the NFL is now, he will play and be in a rotation and has NFL qualities. You see his speed on stretch plays, but he is not a very big guy. He was getting pushed for playing time — that’s why he came out.”
• “(Auburn OT) Brandon Mosley is a tough guy. He gets after it. He’s a good kid … but he’s always going to be limited by his stiffness. He’s not athletic enough to be a left tackle, and as a right tackle, it’s tough to play strong when your hips are so high. You'd like to get him in the fifth (round)."
• “When you evaluate (Georgia’s) Cordy Glenn at left tackle, you have to remember — he was out of shape and overweight. You have to go back to last year (2010) before the strength coaches came in to get a true read on him.”
• “I think (Oklahoma’s) Ronnell Lewis goes in the second, but to me, he’s a 'reach' guy. I wouldn’t touch him there, and he fits what we do.”
• “(Boise State RB) Doug Martin is a tough one to figure out if you look at this year vs. last year. In 2010, he looks like a surefire late first-rounder. If you watch 2011, there are games where he looks like nothing more than a free agent. I don’t see what everyone else is (seeing) on this year’s tape. If you get the player you see last year, you’d be pretty happy. If you get the 2011 version, you might be disappointed.”
• “(LSU DT) Michael Brockers is big, strong and athletic. He just does not get great push in the middle. … To me, he is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I liked his interview.”
• "The more Courtney Upshaw talked (in the interview process), the more I got scared. He has a lot of distractions in his life. There are a lot of concerns there. We need an edge guy, but we wouldn't touch him in the first (round). I'd have hesitations in the second where we're picking, after hearing him talk about grabbing his girlfriend by the hair."
• "You can't take away (Baylor WR Kendall) Wright's production. He is falling (in the draft), but he's still a playmaker."
• "(Wisconsin OG Kevin) Zeitler struggles in pass pro a little bit. The program is known for its run blocking. That’s their flavor of the day. He has 31-inch arms and gets out of sorts in pass protection."
• "(Former LSU CB) Patrick Peterson had one unique quality — he could fly. That is why he went where he did. He has been more productive as a punt returner than he has been as a corner. He won games as a returner. (Morris) Claiborne is not as fast. I worry about LSU skill guys — look at the corners and safeties and receivers that have come out of the program. How many have been free of issues coming out?"
• "(Iowa OLT) Riley Reiff is a guard all the way. He is a tough, grinding guard — the same as (Ravens All-Pro and former Hawkeye Marshal) Yanda. That’s what I think he is."
• "Everyone says (South Carolina CB) Stephon Gilmore is rising after his workout. That is what I am hearing on the street. He is a big corner, and everyone is going big now. The value is in the late first. I’ve heard teams talking about him in the top 10."
• "(Washington RB Chris) Polk was productive on a (bad) team, but he gained weight this year and lost some speed and did not have any burst. He was coming off knee surgery. I’m not sure if he ever had explosive speed, to be honest. We have him in the fifth (round)."
• "(South Carolina WR) Alshon Jeffery can't run a lick. Show me the tape where he separates with speed or quickness."

Carolina Panthers are rumored to be willing to trade down from #9 if the price is right, because of their trading their 2012 3rd rd. pick to Chicago for TE Greg Olson last season the feel they can't move up.....

Re: Around The NFL
General Draft Rumors:
ProFootballWeekly reports that Baylor WR Kendall Wright has a third round grade on a lot of team's draft boards. People feel that Randall Cobb was a much better prospect coming out and that Wright's body fat (16% -- one of the highest for a WR ever) is concerning for teams and the fact that he managed only 4 reps on the bench press could lead teams to believe that he will struggle against press-man coverage in the NFL. (For comparison's sake, Eddie Royal put up 24 reps)
Don't be surprised if Reilly Reiff slides down draft boards. A lot of people believe the Bills will take him @ 10 -- but according to NFL Network this morning (Path To The Draft) the Bills want to go defense there. Arizona @ 14 could be a landing spot for him, but some teams think he could be a better player at guard or right tackle and is not the top flight LT as advertised. Some teams even have Cordy Glenn rated higher.
After Trent Richardson, many assume it's a three horse race between Miller, Martin and Wilson for the next back taken off the board. Don't be surprised if Isaiah Pead (Cincy) creeps into the second round and is selected ahead of some of the better known backs.
If the Rams don't take Fletcher Cox (a surprise) with the #6 pick, expect Alameda Ta'amu to be their guy at the top of Round 2.
After testing positive at the combine for marijuana, Ohio State OT Mike Adams, who was thought to have had a first-round grade will likely slide into the second, perhaps even third round. If you fail a test and know it is coming -- that is a huge concern for teams. Path To The Draft reports some teams will wipe him off their boards completely.
The Jaguars want to trade out of #7, but if they don't -- expect Stephon Gilmore, CB -- South Carolina to be the pick. (According to Peter King)
According to NFL Network's Mike Mayock, Oliver Vernon (DE/OLB) of Miami (THE U) is one of the hottest names in the draft right now. Flying up boards and could be taken as early as the second round.
The Detroit Lions have been rumored to be hot for Dre Kirkpatrick, but insiders in the Detroit media are saying their preference is to trade down and select OG Amini Silatolu.
There have been plenty of rumors lately regarding the Philadelphia Eagles interest in trading up for either Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill or Mississippi State DT Fletcher Cox, however the prospect the Eagles are really targeting is Memphis DT Dontari Poe according to a trusted league source. - Al Fronczak

Re: Around The NFL
The Denver Broncos moved out of the first round Thursday night as they twice traded down.
The Broncos know have six picks in the next three rounds. I think we will see Denver try to get a defensive tackle, running back and quarterback on Friday. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Broncos make more trades in the second or third rounds.
I think Denver decided to move down after all the top defensive tackles were taken. It's difficult to argue with that tact.
Among the players Denver could target at No. 36, their top pick Friday are Michigan State defensive tackle Jerel Worthy, Connecticut defensive tackle Kendall Reyes, Georgia Tech receiver Stephen Hill, Cincinnati defensive tackle Derek Wolfe and Nebraska linebacker Lavonte David..
The Broncos probably were not thrilled to see running backs Doug Martin and David Wilson go in the final two picks of the first round. Among the running backs Denver could look in the second round at include Oregon’s LaMichael James and Miami’s Lamar Miller.
Below is Denver’s new draft order after its movement Thursday night:
Round Overall (Rd.#) How Acquired
Second 36 (4) From Tampa Bay
Second 57 (25) Own Pick
Third 87 (25) Own Pick
Fourth 101 (6) From Tampa Bay
Fourth 108 (13) From N.Y. Jets
Fourth 120 (25) Own Pick
Fifth 137 (2) From St. Louis
Sixth 188 (18) From N.Y. Jets
Trades:
Broncos get: 1st-round pick (No. 31)
4th-round pick (No. 126)
Patriots get: 1st-round pick (No. 25)
Broncos get: 2nd-round pick (No. 36)
4th-round pick (No. 101)
Bucs get: 1st-round pick (No. 31)
4th-round pick (No. 126)

Re: Around The NFL
My top 5 in order would be:
1. Cordy Glenn - replaces Beadles at LG, has tackle versatility if Franklin fails to develop at RT.
2. Peter Konz - instant upgrade over Walton, who also turns into the solid interior OL depth we're currently lacking.
3. Jerel Worthy - well rounded DT.
4. Devon Still - take the bet on him being healthy and if it pays off we might have the best DT from this class.
5. Stephen Hill - could pair with DT and Decker to give Manning three elite young weapons in the passing game.

Mel Kiper was projecting Kendall Reyes at #25 to the Broncos. I'm actually surprised he's still not picked.

Re: Around The NFL
Did Jake Plummer indirectly help Broncos land Osweiler?
Should John Elway be sending Jake Plummer a thank you note?
Plummer, the former Broncos quarterback, served as somewhat of a mentor to new quarterback Brock Osweiler during Osweiler’s career at Arizona State — Plummer’s alma mater.
“He would come down to the Homecoming games every single year and pull me aside to give me a quick note,” Osweiler said. “He was at my pro day and he could see me walking into the facility a little juiced up, a little amped up, and he just pulled me aside and told me to calm down, enjoy this process, relax, and go have fun. That was really a breath of fresh air and I thank him for that.”
The Broncos were at that Pro Day workout in Tempe, and also flew to Arizona to put Osweiler through a private workout and interview.
Plummer had made himself scarce around Denver and Dove Valley after his career with the Broncos ended when Mike Shanahan benched him in favor of Jay Cutler. Don’t be surprised if now we see start seeing much more of Plummer around town.

"Linebacker Jonathan Vilma of the Saints is suspended without pay for the 2012 NFL season, effective immediately per league policy for season-long suspensions. The investigation concluded that while a captain of the defensive unit Vilma assisted Coach Williams in establishing and funding the program. Multiple independent sources also confirmed that Vilma offered a specific bounty -- $10,000 in cash – to any player who knocked Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner out of the 2009 Divisional Playoff Game and later pledged the same amount to anyone who knocked Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre out of the 2009 NFC Championship Game the following week (played on January 24, 2010). Vilma is eligible to be reinstated after the Super Bowl in 2013."

That's great. Goodell talks the talk and back that up with action. 1 year is the minimum this fool should be receiving.Pimp_From_The_Grave wrote:"Linebacker Jonathan Vilma of the Saints is suspended without pay for the 2012 NFL season, effective immediately per league policy for season-long suspensions.

Of course he will ask for pity, try to deflect the blame away from him, but what else is new in today's world.
Vilma broke the rules and whomever those "independent sources" are did the right thing by being honest with NFL investigators.
