Javon Walker signs with Oakland. How perfect!

Also, Seattle signs TE Jeb Putzier. This kid can play if given the chance. Talented pass catcher for sure.

Jesus. Could you pick a more perfect scenario? A oft-injured, brash, pouty WR signs with the dysfunctional, merry-go-round coached, rookie quarterback lead Raiders for 6 years.

Take it easy on me this season, okay Displaced?

Well it's not like my team looks like a Super Bowl contender!

Hey, when Walker is right...he's freaking awesome. Who knows?

Walker does have the skill set to be a top tier receiver - when he's healthy. Im more worried about this marriage not lasting more than the first 10 games of the season.

Who knows? Maybe Skeletor has one more trick up his sleeve...

He's worn the same outfit for 30 years now....he has no more tricks hidden anywhere in that goofy garb he struts around in. At least the Chiefs have figured out how to be as useless as the Raiders to give you some competition for most inept team within the Division.

Wow. Thanks Sylvan... although you dont have to handle my feelings with satin gloves next time.

The Chiefs are pretty inept, but they have a few years of blown draft picks, one season of reincarnating a former coach and at least one visit from Aaron Brooks before the Raiders feel competition at the bottom of the AFC West.

I'm not surprised. The Eagles have a great bunch of young linebackers. Spikes, while being good, wasn't exactly lights out. Man, this defense is going to be young and FAST next year.

Haynesworth is a beast at DL which will open up Kearse a bit on the outside, but this team isnt going up at all.

Rumour going around is that Spikes release was so that Eagles can make room for a trade for a WR.

No. They're a young team with a young QB that they surrounded with young talent. They have a young receiving corps that has good potential and good young running back. They have a line that opens up enough so Young can run and a young defense that played amazing last season. So they bring in an good vet TE to help the offense grow, and a oft injured DE who had his best years with the Titans to help the kids on the D. How is anything they're doing wrong? They've grown by leaps and bounds over the last 2 years and still have a very young team and you're going to chastise them? No, sorry. That sh*t won't fly.
