CFL is in a lockout too?

Who do you root for?

I root for the MooseJaw Bushwackers! They are a scrappy bunch but are often found curling on the 55 yard line.

I think about 10 teams will have the same idea for Asomugha.

They really just need to get this deal done, it never should have taken this long. The NBA is going to show them what a real lockout is, I don't think that league will play a game in 2011-2012.

But there's only one Dallas Cowboys.

He had deeper pockets last year too.

I hope Dallas spends half their cap on that corner. That's always a good move. Do they ever draft a good player, or find a street free agent? Who's the GM of that motley group?

I am going to skim the hell out of this thread with this question.

The class-action lawsuit that was filed with Brady, Manning, Brees, and the others is holding up the deal. It's just that idiot receiver fron San Diego and Logan Mankins correct? Brady and Manning aren't really doing anything to slow the CBA down correct?

prolly lolz prolly cuz prolly lol

The owners have approved the new deal 31-0 and now we just wait on the players! I can't believe we might have to wait for them to re-certify as a union though for this. I mean, before the lockout happened they had all the paper work ready to decertify, so when I time came it was a really quick move, then when it comes time to recertify, and they had at least a week to get ready for this, its "oh well this could take some time." Bull poop, recertify and lets play some football.

White Rhino · Jul 21, 2011

biggsy · Jul 21, 2011

Nnamdi Asomugha. welcome to Dallas. Terrence Newman youre fired.

Who's gonna play the other side, Jenkins? I think Newman still has some value if nothing else in the nickel and dime packages.

ddec · Jul 21, 2011

when the players vote on this does that mean Bridges will be coming back to the forum?

They would have to drop Newman if they signed Asomugha. Jenkins was terrible last year but he was very good 2 years ago.

I think that may be one of the final negotiating points. The players aren't sure what the implications of Bridges being back means to the bottom line.

Chunkylover77 · Jul 21, 2011

Bridges being back is huge. I mean 100 posts a day huge.

Yeah in his rookie year Jenkins had the look of being a true shut down corner, last year he struggled bad.

I have spoken to quite a few old colleagues today and they say that this could be done as of today or very close. Not a whole lot separating owners and players right now.

When it gets announced, expect some HUGE moves. 5-7 teams are going to really struggle to get to that 120 cap number.
Rookie wage is done. That will be in the new deal.

Did I hear you used to be with the redskins? Just curious didn't real know much about your background.

I love fantasy football though, any chance there's a spot this year? Sounds like last year was a blast.

woody140284 · Jul 22, 2011

If there are any spots in the FF I would also be interested! Is it first come first serve or do the people in last year get first say?

GamecockGolfer · Jul 22, 2011

Asomugha is going to the Eagles. The money will be close enough to whatever the highest offer will be, and they have the best shot to win a title out of any team with him at corner. And this is before they possibly add Bush, trade Kolb (rumors are to SF for their 7th pick, or Arizona for DRC), and continue to upgrade the team.
