Is there anywhere i can watch the Combine online?

[strategix]

Is there anywhere i can watch the Combine online?

It will be covered on NFL Network, so almost certainly there will be streams for it

[SafcJamesE]

Tim Teebow.... Round? & Team?

[strategix]

Tim Teebow.... Round? & Team?

All I can say is I hope that Al Davis isn't stupid enough to draft him, thinking that he will replace Jamarcus Russell.. But no guarantees

[strategix]

NFL Combine streaming link added to FP..
If a thread for streaming the combine isn't made in the next couple days, I'll make one..

I can't seem to connect to 420TV2-ST, can someone confirm for me whether it is online or offline? thanks..
Edit: nevermind, seems to be showing MLB network

[SafcJamesE]

Brian Westbrook released from the Eagles after 8 years
http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/bloghead/

[strategix]

This is ridiculous, practically NONE of the top QB prospects will be working out at the NFL Combine
Bradford, Clausen, Tebow, McCoy, and LeFevour will all be sitting out the workouts
Pike remains the only top QB prospect that will actually participate in the combine drills, though most will still partake in the tests and interviews @ the combine.

Oklahoma’s Bradford will attend combine but skip drills
Texas QB McCoy won’t throw at combine, either

please dont waste a no 2 pick, i dont want a 3rd straight 0 to 2 win year!

[strategix]

Huge first day of free agency for Chicago so far:

Chester Taylor (RB): 4 years, $12.5 million

Filed to ESPN: Chester Taylor reaches agreement with Bears on a four-year, $12.5 million deal that includes $7 million gtd in year one.

Brandon Manumaleuna (TE): 5 year deal

Julius Peppers (DE): 6 years, $79.8 million

The Chicago whopper: Julius Peppers' contract in Chicago is expected to pay him roughly $40 million in the deal's first three years.

Bears win Peppers sweepstakes, agree to deal with RB Taylor

Anquan Boldin Trade:

Done deal: Arizona trades WR Anquan Boldin and a 2010 fifth-round pick to Baltimore for Ravens 2010 third- and fourth-round picks.

Well, that didn't take long: Anquan Boldin agrees to a new four-year, $28 million contract with the Ravens.

Other big news:

The man earned it -- Gary Brackett gets a five-year contract worth $33 million, including a $12 million signing bonus [from the Colts]

John Clayton reporting FB Leonard Weaver re-signs with Eagles - three years, $11 million, including $6.5 million guaranteed.

Free agent defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch agrees to a four-year, $26 million deal with Lions.

FOX reported, and it has been confirmed, that the Panthers are releasing QB Jake Delhomme.

Filed to ESPN: Chargers traded cornerback Antonio Cromartie to Jets for a 2011 third-round pick that could turn to a second.

J. Cribbs -WR -CLE: Cribbs gets new three-year, $20 million deal

Filed to ESPN: Free-agent CB Dunta Robinson and Falcons agree to a six-year contract.

And on a non free-agency note:

Roethlisberger accused of sexual assault, again

[SafcJamesE]

Brandon Marshall could be going to The Seahawks, I hope he doesn't and goes somewhere good, somewhere like... Cincinnati lol

[Tardy]

I hope the Skins don't waste a pick on a QB, particularly Tebow. I don't think he is going to amount to much in the League.

[SafcJamesE]

Kerry Rhodes signed for the Cardinals

[SafcJamesE]

Monday morning one-liners

The Bills paid a $500,000 roster bonus to DE Chris Kelsay, ensuring he'll stay with the team.

The Jets want to re-sign blocking TE Ben Hartsock.

The Patriots are continuing to talk to DE Jarvis Green.

It appears that recently suspended former Dolphins DT Jason Ferguson wants to continue playing football.

Ravens CB LaDairus Webb is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn ACL.

The Bengals are not a team that traditionally dives head first into free agency.

New Browns acquisition LB Scott Fujita may fit better in a 3-4 defense because of his size and so-so speed.

Fellow students have come to the defense of Ben Roethlisberger's accuser.

The Colts have stuck to their usual script this offseason.

The return of Kevin Walter will keep WR Jacoby Jones on the bench indefinitely.

DE Aaron Kampman will primarily play at right end in Jacksonville; he played exclusively on the left side in Green Bay before moving to linebacker in 2009.

Tennessee's interest in free agent DE Marques Douglas may have been overstated.

The Denver Post still thinks TE Tony Scheffler is likely to be traded.

It's surprising the Chiefs have started their offseason by targeting running backs.

Perhaps LaDainian Tomlinson isn't such an odd fit with the Raiders.

The uncapped year came at the perfect time for the Chargers.

The Cowboys won't open the team's Hall of Fame as expected in 2010, and they will solve what was clearly a problem at the new stadium: More scoreboard!

Eagles coach Andy Reid says there's a "pretty good chance" the team returns all three of its current quarterbacks.

One New York columnist is saying the Giants look even better in their choice of Eli Manning after Ben Roethlisberger's latest adventure.

Washington's restraint to open free agency is being applauded.

Chicago's agent prize DE Julius Peppers will have to get used to playing in a bigger media market.

The Lions will meet with former Rams CB Jonathan Wade on Monday.

The Packers need to find some pass-rushing help for Clay Matthews.

The awful crop of free agent quarterbacks is another reason why Brett Favre's decision isn't pressing for Minnesota.

Falcons WR Roddy White appears to approve of the team's defensive makeover.

Carolina's loyalty to Jake Delhomme was part of the reason they let him go, according to Tom Sorensen.

The Saints can sign an unrestricted free agent now that LB Scott Fujita has left town.

Don't expect the Bucs' quiet start to free agency to change anytime soon.

Arizona may be watching what the Rams do with QB Marc Bulger closely.

Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News notes that Alex Smith doesn't have a good track record with quarterback competitions.

A deal between St. Louis and DT Fred Robbins could be completed Monday.

ESPN's Mike Sando believes a first-round pick is too much for Seattle to give up for Brandon Marshall considering the absence of other bidders.

Looks like Mike Vick won't be going anywhere soon, the Eagles will pay his roster bonus. He could still be dealt in pre-season. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=090...s&confirm=true

[AdamCSafc]

I woud say the Rams should look at a QB at number one pick. You won't get anywhere in the NFL without a good QB.

[SafcJamesE]

Yeah i think they should go for a QB, i think Jimmy Clausen would be a good choice.

[AdamCSafc]

Clausen or Bradford makes sense. Suh and McCoy are good players, but a franchise player on the D-line won't win as many games as a QB. Although if they could get Colt McCoy in the 2nd round I would understand them picking Suh or McCoy
