i just read Mark Craig's article in the Star Tribune mentioning guys to avoid and his "sleeper" FA list. He mentioned OLB Bart Scott from Baltimore. Who is this guy?  "He's 6-2, 240, can run. He had 92 tackles and four sacks in 2005. And he's only 25."

Who is this guy?

He's a 6-2, 240, 25 year old OLB who can run. I think he had 92 tackles and four sacks in 2005.

[Mad-Lad]

Good point RJS, but you failed to mention he had 92 tackles and four sacks in 2005.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

He filled in when Murderin' Ray went down. Looked pretty good, but is in the big, hulking, kill the QB mold. That means he doesn't fit into the Eagles idea of a LB.

I read a rumor that the Jets are untagging (also known as Eagling) Abraham. Anyone else?

I read a rumor that the Jets are untagging (also known as Eagling) Abraham. Anyone else?

They were bluffing, hoping to get a trade offer, but they can't handle the cap hit without the new CBA... I suppose.

Pointing, and laughing at the JetSkins.
