Here is the latest version of the OTS: The 2012 NFL FA Edition!


RUMOR:

n.

A piece of unverified information of uncertain origin usually spread by word of mouth.
Unverified information received from another; hearsay.

Before I post ANY rumors, I want to say THANK YOU to and let Patty (over at PC and is in poor health) know she is in my thoughts and prayers. Her guidance, support and words has meant so much to me. I am praying that she'll be alright ASAP.

Also, I will try to post more rumors in this thread as the come my way since today will be a busy day for me, not just at work but collecting rumors.

I hear the Packers have some type of interest in the following players (non-Packers FA):

Wesley Woodyard-LB-DEN
Jeremy Mincey-OLB/DE-Jac
Red Bryant-DT-Sea
Josh Johnson-QB-TB
Mike Tolbert-RB-SD
Chris Myers-C-Hou
Brandon Carr-CB-KC
Anthony Smith-S-Ten


Look for Chad Clifton to be cut fairly soon. The Packers want/need the cap space.

A non packers rumor: Look for the Vikings to PASS on Matt Kahlil and instead draft a "skill position" player (Blackmon). More info to come out in a couple weeks.


More NFL Rumors:

The Titans will give Manning a virtual "blank check" and the owner, Mr. Adams, is hell bent on signing him. Also look for Hutchinson, Wayne, Garcon and possibly Dallas Clark to join Manning where ever he goes.

The Redskins will attempt to make Vincent Jackson the NFL's highest paid WR. They covet him almost as much as they coveted RGIII.

Buffalo wants to make a splash or 2, with possibly Mario Williams and V-Jax as the targets.

Minnesota likes Courtland Finnigan & Carlos Rogers and is in play for both.

Finnigan also has interest from TB, ATL and SF.

Seattle will go hard after Flynn and Mario Williams.

Sea, Cle and Mia are the 3 teams that Flynn will have contact from right away.

The Dolphins were told by Manning to keep everything quiet when it comes to him. They are waiting for an answer by him before they jump in on Flynn.

I will add-on to the rumors as the day/my time progresses & allows me to.

Side Note:

Did any else see this tweet by Andrew Brandt?

Andrew Brandt ‏ @adbrandt Remember chasing LaVar Arrington hard in 2006, was going to sign him along with Woodson. He opted for NYG, tore Achilles in week seven.



I remember getting toasted when I said they were going hard after him & Woodson along with Pickett. A key part to this story that got reported later was Favre calling Arrington and talking to him about GB. NO ONE believed me when i reported that then and it came out years later that Favre did "recruit" him to GB. Arrington choose the G-men because he wanted to stay close to his son, who was a baby/toddler then.

Thanks for these. Always fun to read even in the case they don't end up happening.

I've read similar things about Vincent Jackson and the Redskins elsewhere... they're gonna hand out another idiotic deal (remember Haynesworth?)... not that Jackson isn't a good player but he really shouldn't have the top salary among recievers.

Yeah that's true. But if the Bears want a star WR, they'll get one. Plenty of them in free agency this year.

I love rumors I would love Mike Tolbert can run people over and can catch out of the backfield.

    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
    beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
    beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
    packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
    Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
    Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
    Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
    Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
    packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
    TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
    Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
    Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over
