I think he's on to somthing here, I mean most every team doesn't have any white C.B.'s, only NY had Sehorn, but no one else is hiring white C.B.'s!
P.S. It's a JOKE, and YES I'm being sarcastic, had to say this before I got a ton of posters calling me racist and what ever else cause they can't understand common sense and what's a joke or not, sad I even gotta post this P.S., but some of the posters forced me to post it because I was sick of their stupidity on other posts not getting the joke!

Wow, that's a pretty hefty price to pay for Jenkins considering he's well past his prime. But 34 NTs are that hard to find.
That's why I don't want to just give away Ferguson.

TAPEH RETURNS HOME
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 1:23 p.m.
The Vikings have announced that they have signed fullback Thomas Tapeh, an unrestrictred free ageny who previously played for the Eagles.
Tapeh attended the University of Minnesota and grew up in the Twin Cities. He spent two seasons working with Vikings coach Brad Childress when Childress was the offensive coordinator in Philly.
His arrival means that Pro Bowl fullback Tony Richardson likely won’t be re-signed.

JERRY IS A JAG
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 1:18 p.m.
The Jaguars continue to re-make a receiving corps that isn’t as well known for catching football as they are for, well, not catching them.
Though trading for Troy Williamson wasn’t exactly the way to improve the overall quality of the hand-eye coordination at the skill positions, signing Jerry Porter should help. A lot.
According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Jags have reached an agreement with Porter on a six-year deal worth $30 million, with $10 million in guaranteed money.
Porter was a chronic malcontent in Oakland, but he definitely has talent. A good Jacksonville offense will be better with him on the team.
JENKINS TO SIGN NEW DEAL WITH JETS
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 12:09 p.m.
Former Panthers defensive tackle Kris Jenkins has a new home. He also has a new contract.
According to Steve Reed of CarolinaGrowl.com, Jenkins will sign a five-year, $35 million contract with the New York Jets.
The Jets acquired Jenkins from Carolina for a third-round and fifth-round draft pick in 2008.
The deal includes $20 million in guaranteed money.
Apparently, the Jets hope that Jenkins becomes a space eater in the 3-4 defense, allowing linebackers to run free to the ball. Thus, for a change, it won’t hurt Jenkins if/when he shows up for a weigh-in, and the scale squeals like a stuck pig.
LEMON STAYS IN THE LAND OF ORANGES
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 12:25 p.m.
Quarterback Cleo Lemon has a new team, and he still won’t be paying state income taxes.
According to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com, Lemon has agreed to terms with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He previously played for the Miami Dolphins.
It’s a three-year, $8.1 million deal. It includes a $2.95 million signing bonus and $4 million in incentives.
Lemon will serve as the backup to starter David Garrard.
GIANTS, VIKES WANTED CLEO, TOO
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 1:10 p.m.
As it turns out, the Jaguars had a little competition for the services of quarterback Cleo Lemon.
Per a league source, the Giants and the Vikings were also chasing the free-agent quarterback, who became the starter in Miami last year after Trent Green ran his head into the knee of Travis Johnson.
Lemon opted to go to Jacksonville; in Minnesota, he might have had a better shot at beating out starter Tarvaris Jackson.

REDMAN ISN’T A CAMP ARM
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 1:10 p.m.
We joked earlier in the day that quarterback Chris Redman is under contract with the Falcons, but might not be on the opening-day roster.
As it turns out, Redman likely is a lock to make the team.
Per a league source, Redman got a $2 million signing bonus as part of his two-year deal with Atlanta.
Not bad for a guy who probably never would have gotten another shot if Bobby Petrino hadn’t become the coach of the Falcons.

WILKINS CALLS IT QUITS
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 1:01 p.m.
The Rams have announced that veteran kicker Jeff Wilkins has retired.
Wilkins was signed through 2009, and was due to earn a base salary of $800,000 this season.
The move puts the Rams in the market for a kicker. Perhaps they’ll try to lure Josh Brown from NFC West rival Seattle.

TAMPA BAY TOGA PARTY GETS LARGER

Maybe they’re gonna need a bigger boat.
There’s yet another free agent who’ll be visiting Tampa. It is Saints receiver Devery Henderson, according to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com.
The Bucs had a total of $44 million in 2008 cap space as of midnights. They have signed Saints center Jeff Faine, and they are exploring various other possible additions.

CORRECTION ON COREY WILLIAMS NUMBERS
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 12:46 p.m.
A league source tells us that the reported numbers on the contract for Browns defensive tackle Corey Williams are a bit off.
Williams gets $16.3 million in guaranteed money, and a six-year deal worth $38 million.

MITCHELL HEADS TO BUFFALO
Posted by Mike Florio on February 29, 2008, 2:44 p.m.
The next time linebacker Kawika Mitchell faces the Patriots, it won’t be with quite the same level of talent around him.
Mitchell agreed to terms on Friday with the Buffalo Bills, jumping into the division that currently is ruled by the Pats.
Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Mitchell’s deal is for five years and $17.5 million, with $5 million in guaranteed money.

The Jags REALLY over-paid for Porter, IMO. The dude has shown very little in his years in the league and they just gave him a 30 million dollar deal at 5 million a year?
Maybe he'll pan out for them, and a change from Oakland will do him good, but that seems like a bit much to me.
The Dolphins getting Smiley seems insane too given that he was just terrible for San Fran last year.

Wide receiver Isaac Bruce is moving close to a reunion with his former head coach.
FOXSports.com has learned that Bruce is heading to San Francisco for a free-agent meeting with the 49ers, which recently hired Mike Martz as their offensive coordinator.
Free-Agent Central Keep up to date with all the comings and goings of the NFL free agency period and check out Alex Marvez's live blog for all the latest notes, rumors and analysis. Bruce spent the past 14 seasons with St. Louis, including six (2000 to 2005) when Martz was head coach. The Rams released Bruce on Thursday to avoid paying him a $2 million roster bonus.
One of the most prolific wide receivers in NFL history, the 35-year-old Bruce has 942 career catches for 14,109 yards and 84 touchdowns.
Another free-agent wide receiver garnering interest is New Orleans' Devery Henderson. FOXSports.com has learned that Tampa Bay will be hosting Henderson on a visit. A four-year NFL veteran, Henderson caught 20 passes for 409 yards and three touchdowns last season while making nine starts.
Henderson has the kind of big-play ability currently lacking in Tampa Bay's wide receiver corps outside of Joey Galloway.
The Dallas Morning News reported that the Cowboys have traded defensive tackle Jason Ferguson to Miami. Dallas and the Dolphins will swap sixth-round picks in the 2007 draft, which moves the Cowboys to the top of the round. Dallas also will receive a 2009 sixth-round pick.
After missing almost all of last season with a torn biceps, Ferguson became expendable when Jay Ratliff and Tank Johnson played well in his place. The Dolphins were in need of a 3-4 nose tackle after releasing Keith Traylor. Ferguson also played under Dolphins executive vice president Bill Parcells in 2005 and 2006 when the latter was Cowboys coach.
Dolphins guard Rex Hadnot is visiting today with the Houston Texans. Hadnot, a 55-game Dolphins starter who played at the University of Houston, is believed to have become expendable in Miami after the club reportedly signed San Francisco guard Justin Smiley to a free-agent contract.
