Cardinals About To Sign QB?

"In a press conference Thursday night, Arizona Cardinals general manager Rod Graves was asked specifically about the rumor that the team had an "understanding" with impending free agent Marc Bulger. Graves passed the mic to head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who grinned before saying, "I don't know anything about that," according to Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic (ESPN)."

They aren't allowed to have a deal yet, but it certainly seems like Bulger is going to be the QB of the Cardinals. Bulger was good for a couple of years in St. Louis, then got banged around a lot and fell apart. Maybe if the Cardinals can protect him, he can turn it all around. I mean Bulger has some great WRs to work with, so it could happen. If I was them I would feel a lot better going after someone like McNabb or Kolb, because Bulger is already 34, and it's been awhile since he has been "good". Still, it's an upgrade over anything they have, so I guess it makes sense.

Rumor: Patriots Trading Up To 6th Pick?

"According to a report from Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe, the Patriots have had trade discussions with the Browns about the No. 6 overall pick in Thursday's NFL draft. Citing a league source, Bedard reports that the Patriots -- owners of the No. 17 and No. 28 picks in the first round and the first pick of the second round, No. 33 overall -- may want to move up (WEEI)."

Would love to see this, as it is rumored that they would be going after Robert Quinn, who is the exact kind of player the Patriots need on their defense. He is one of those hybrid OLB/DE, which we know Belichick loves, because it gives him a lot of options with his game planning. Haven't really heard much about him? Well because he didn't play last year, he was ruled ineligible by the NCAA for lying to investigators about receiving travel accommodations and jewelry... Cool whatever, thsi guy was a beast in 2009 with 11 sacks (at age 19!).

When scouts try to compare him to someone in the NFL they compare him to Julius Peppers, that good enough for me. Still, I put the probablity of this happening kind of low, just because it is very rare to see the Patriots trade up that high in the draft (if at all). So unless, Belichick really has his eye on this guy it sounds like just another rumor. But I can dream....can't I?

Jets Interested In Randy Moss

Finally we get to write a football post that isn't about the lockout of an arrest. There are rumors flying around the internet that the Jets are seriously interested in signing Randy Moss. The Jets have Holmes and Edwards are free agents this year, and although their top priority is to resign Holmes there is a good chance that they let Edwards walk. This could open the door for Randy Moss to stroll in. If there is any team in the NFL that would bring him in it would be the Jets. They have no problem taking on "personalities", and it actually worked out for them pretty well last year. Still, there is no chance this works. Moss is all done, and has once again given up. I actually don't even believe anyone will sign him, and I think we have seen the last of Randy Moss in ANY NFL uniform.
