8 MAR - 2008

1) Pacman Still Talking

He is now at the end of his 1 year suspension and Pacman continues to talk. Now he is talking about coming back to play, although he is publicly stating a preference to play in Dallas. The Titans still have his rights, so a trade would need to be worked out. What is Pacman's value now? The Titans have every right to be firm in the requests, but realise the sooner they move on the better. I would say a third round pick would satisfy the Titans, who could use the pick to add some depth to the position.

2) Dorsey's Injury Crucial

The status of Glen Dorsey's injury will be huge in this coming draft. A top 5 talent, but with this cloud hanging, One has to consider whether or not all the talk is coming from teams in the bottom half of the top ten keen to have Dorsey slide to them. I have him at 12 in my current mock, based purely on some doubt. There is too much money at stake to miss on a top ten pick. Although some team could get lucky if he is clear and slides to them.

3) Larry Fitzgerald Contract Concerns

Who sets up a contract to pay a young WR $16million? That is only the sort of contract you would back-end for someone who is never going to see the payday. How can Arizona let it get to this point before restructuring? No wonder teams are calling on the Cards about a trade, the sharks are circling, even though Arizona says they will just wear the hit if needed.
