But Avril joined a winner, who also needs to work out a deal with Harvin right?

According to a source close to the Welker camp, another AFC team offered Welker a larger contract, at about 8 million a year but he refused because they weren't a contender.
I have a feeling that was us. We have the cap space to appease him.

Doubt it was us when we are moving to a vertical passing attack.

The only positive in the Rubin trade for Mallet would be that Rubin has more value, so we would come out with an extra player or some picks, but still I don't see it happening.
what you think of Rubin and weeden for Mallet and New England 1st or 2nd round pick? I think I am dreaming here. It probably be more like 2nd or 3rd round pick, because lombardi will give in to his old buddy.

I have absolutely NO interest in trading Rubin. Especially for a guy that in my opinion the Pats may just end up releasing....or at best sticking at their 3rd QB slot.
Enough talk about Mallet. Mallet is a Mallethead, that is why BB is trying to sucker someone into taking him.

Amendola to the Pats 5 years 31mil. 10 mil gar. So they let Welker walk to sign a poor mans Welker for more than Welker signed for in Denver. And he has an injury history. I don't get it.
Amendola is hardly a "poor mans" Wes Welker. He's just never had a great quarterback. Who was Wes Welker before Tom Brady? Amendola is a dynamic receiver that once again never had an elite quarterback. They essentially got a younger, taller Wes Welker for the same amount of money. It's a tremendous signing and the very reason Bellicheat and the spy gate princes stay at the top of their game. His injuries have also been random. Arm, Collarbone etc. Nothing that would effect his play long term. He's going to light it up in New England. You heard it here first.

Fair statement. Certainly Brady can make him look good the way he made Welker look good.

There is being injury prone to a specific area and just being injury prone. If your injury prone to an area you can at least try to protect it. Being injury prone in general means that anything can happen, you can't guard against it. It's way worse.
The Patriots wouldn't have given him that contract if they were worried about it. Let's be realistic and as I said he's going to be a beast in New England. He was having a strong season last year before the injury.

Plenty of injury prone guys get contracts, that doesn't mean he isn't injury prone. I'd bet my car there's a lot of language in his contract protecting the patriots if he gets injured. No matter how you slice it the guy missed 20 games the past two seasons. Injuries have a way of latching onto people in the NFL.
Also predicting Amendola is going to do well with Tom Brady in the exact same role Welker was in isn't some great prophecy. I'm pretty sure you weren't the first person to say or think that one.

Cassel and Fitzpatrick don't seem like the Chud/Norv types. They are more game-managers than game breakers. Don't have the big arms. But both would be an upgrade over Colt IMO. Who else is out there?

No big name at all. If it's not cassel then I am thinking the pats trade for mallet. But I kind of like the wilson kid from arkansas. I can see him being a big time QB. Not a Cam Newton/Manning QB, but more like a cutler type.

Word is Cassel will be picked up by the Pats now that Josh McDaniel is back as their OC. Mallet will be relegated or dismissed.

Why would the Browns trade for Mallet when they have the 6th pick in the first round? It is likely that every single QB will be on the board at that point. They can trade back, pick up more picks and still get a QB they like. There is no way you can get me to believe that their will not be at least three QB's in this draft who are better than Weeden. You can say it but I won't believe it. Weeden is going to have to earn his job in camp this year because he will be competing with a rookie. Hope he has been practicing, because he needs it.

Nope it was the Tennessee Titans.
The other team that pursued Welker was the Tennessee Titans, a source familiar with the situation said.

Amendola was productive in st. Louis. He will be even better with brady.

Source ESPN NFL Insider Rumors
UPDATE: The Cleveland Browns have been mentioned as a possibility for nearly ever available free agent due to having the most salary cap space at the onset of the new NFL business year. The Browns are interested in cornerbacks, and Sean Smith may be on the team's radar.
"Per NFC scout: Don't be surprised if CB S. Smith winds up with Browns," Darren Connolly IV of the Atlanta Free Press tweeted.
The Browns would like to add a cornerback opposite Joe Haden. They had interest in Greg Toler before he signed with Indianapolis. The team is also quietly surveying Aqib Talib's status. Smith could be the team's fallback plan and would fit the early definition of a team "monitoring" the cornerback's situation.
Eagles are out of the running for Sean Smith also reported on rotoworld and ESPN

No but it does mean that you more than likely don't sign a 30+ year old guy who is only known for running short routes for 7.5 million a year. That much should be obvious.

When your GM is an understudy of Bill B. and has had nothing but questionable acquisitions on his résumé, anything that comes onto the FA market from the Patriots will be considered a viable acquisition. That much should be obvious as well.

That is what a slot receiver does no matter the age. short, intermediate routes. You get the safety biting on the z receiver underneath, you will get burned over the top. So that's his job.. the underneath short YAC stuff
