Give Tim Tebow a call. I'm sure he can tell you. you have his number don't ya ???
But he's not a free agent. Seriously,the player or players I'm interested in seeing where they might end up next season aren't free agents either. That would be Alex Smith & possibly Michael Vick. I wonder if both will be either traded or released & become free agents. Would Phoenix go after Michael Vick if he was released? I think meStevo would start a petition to KEEP Vick from going to Kansas City if he was released & became a free agent("we'll stick with Cassel thank you very much"). Don't get me wrong,I still think Vick has some game left in him,he just needs a better blocking team than what he got in Philadelphia.
I'd take Vick over Cassel, but that just means we'd need a backup QB too because he'll get hurt almost as reliably as Darren McFadden.
As much as Vick turned the ball over, Cassel was worse.

Not that I don't enjoy the "Off Season" discussions, but do we really need these "Off Season" threads stickied for the next 6-months when major sports like College Hockey and Golf Major Events are not being stickied? We don't. I guess the same argument can be made for Tennis majors and Soccer as well. NFL, MBL and NCAA Football off-season threads do not need to be sticked. Heck, as much as I loathe Bowling, I would prefer to see a Professional Bowling Season thread stickied prior to any of these off-season discussions. At least a Bowling thread would be discussing an active sport and not involve salary, performance, recruiting and staffing decisions being made by agents and in the front office, which is more accurately a business discussion anyway.
The same goes for NASCAR, which should be stickied from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and for two weeks during the big smoke 'em if you got 'em cup in November. That's it. The NASCAR thread does not need to be sticked 11-1/2 months each and every year IMO. That's insane! The Sticky Threads are should be for relevant, topical and active sports discussions, and not a dumping ground for threads involving wild speculation, idle chit-chat, nonsensical banter and posturing. I know I have voiced my displeasure about this issue in the past. I want it fixed, please. Thank you...

There's a clause in Vick's contract that helps....

Rob Ryan looks like he's going to be the new DC for the Saints.

Raiders getting out the tarps in Oakland to cover seats and prevent blackouts.

That big sucking sound you hear is all the Raiders fans leaving for San Francisco. At least the Bay Area has one team worth the cost of admittance.
Sorry, that will never happen. You Chargers will leave to KC before that happens. You do not see Mets fans become Yankees fans or Cub fans become White Sox fans. Such is the case here.
Let's not pretend this is the only team that has done this. The Redskins have reduced capacity by almost 15,000 seats going into last season.

Once the misdeeds of how Al handled the Raiders finances have cleared, hopefully after next season, this team will be land some decent free agents. If there ONE team that desperately needs a new stadium, it is the Raiders.
Mixed,if,and that's a huge if,Vick can quit being a turnover machine and he restructures his contract,then I'm fine with it.They gotta improve that worse than pathetic O-line, for any QB to have a chance though.Oh,Kelly signed Dennis Dixon the other day.He is the former Duck QB.HE was drafted by the Steelers,actually made a few starts before they dumped him.His most recent stint was on the Ravens PS.Personally,I feel Foles has a lot of potential,his numbers as a rookie were very good.The problem is,he isn't a mobile running type which is what Kelly prefers to run his schemes.The other issue is the fact,there are no good to great QB prospects in the draft.So,Vick may be the best stop gap in Kelly's mind.I'm still hoping they give Foles a chance though.
Thats not the point. The Redskins, like MANY OTHER teams have struggled in selling season tickets that they had to REMOVE seats, not cover with a tarp. I am sure that situation will get better in DC due to the excitement of RG3 and the team winning this past season.

When you average 79k/game in Washington and 54k/game in Oakland (3rd and 32nd) then that's the entire point.

When you insinuate Oakland is the only team that is doing/going through this... NO, that is not the point. Point is, Oakland is not the ONLY team having attendance issues.This past season, there were ONLY 3 teams ABOVE 100% capacity(Dallas, Houston and Chicago) and 4 team UNDER 90%, and of those 4, Oakland was not one of them(KC, SD, Miami and St. Louis) http://espn.go.com/nfl/attendance
As far as how much the NFL is struggling, the list of links go on and on and on and on. So this is not just a Raiders thing.
