McNabb and Owens Together? Not Likely
ESPN is reporting that Donovan McNabb is open to the idea of playing with Terrell Owens despite their feud when they were on the Philadelphia Eagles.
But lets hold up here for a second.
The Washington Redskins may need some more talent at receiver, but this smells of a reporter making something out of nothing.
“A source close to McNabb said the quarterback and Owens recently talked about the possibility of reuniting while shooting an episode for the television show “Pros vs. Joes” in Los Angeles.”
What exactly is a source close to McNabb? How did the subject come up?
NFL Offseason Betting Update: Jets, Redskins
The New York Jets are after a player who has the potential to greatly improve their odds, but might just be a dud while the Washington Redskins have an impact player who might be available.
Jets courting Jason Taylor
The New York Jets are making a pitch to Miami Dolphins free-agent linebacker Jason Taylor.
Taylor would improve the Jets pass rushing. The Jets only had eight sacks last season and a player like Taylor could add another 8-10 on his own and 4-6 team sacks.
How will the Eagles fare with Kevin Kolb?
With Donovan McNabb being traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Washington Redskins, Kevin Kolb inherits the starting role much like Aaron Rodgers did two years ago for the Green Bay Packers.
Kolb, like Rodgers in 2008, joins a team that was in the mix for the playoffs with their veteran quarterback.
The comparison looks pretty good as Kolb has solid numbers except for a throwing too many interceptions while Rodgers struggled his first season as a starter because he threw too many interceptions (13).
The Packers fell to 6-10 in the first year under Rodgers after going 13-3 while the Eagles went 11-5.
As the Quarterback Turns: Denver, Washington, Cleveland
The Denver Broncos haven’t called the quarterback position wide-open for next season, but all of their actions point to a a wide-open competition for who sits under center.
Mmmm. Gratuitous cheerleader shot.
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels gave his quarterback Kyle Orton a vote of confidence at the end of last season saying, “I’m pleased with a lot of what Kyle did and I saw improvement in what he did. I was happy to have the opportunity to work with him this year and we’ll look forward to the future.”
Where will Julius Peppers end up?
Julius Peppers
One more day until we find out whether Julius Peppers goes for the money or he goes for the chance to win a championship.
He already has a boatload of money from his time with the Carolina Panthers, so he doesn’t need to pursue the highest-value contract. But, you can never have enough mansions.
If he wants to go for a Super Bowl, he’s going to have to accept less money since none of the teams that play in the sort of situation that he’s looking for can afford to spend what Peppers is asking for.
