Free Agent Predictions

[GOBOLTS4Life]

It doesnt have to be just for the Chargers.. Lets see how close we can come to predicting it in the NFL before it happens. I will go first...

Mike Vanderjact will be picked up by the Raiders and Janokowski will be released.. Thats my Free Agent Prediciton.. Feel free to contribute more, but they dont count if it allready has happened or hit the news wire..

[maxiee]

Manning ultimately blames the loss to Pitt on The Edge and makes the Colts resign him and trade him for draft picks to the Cardinals

[chargerbaby95]

Manning would be great anywhere as long as its not with the Chargers....

[BoltsfanNYC]

well if colts could trade up and get lendale white... it might be smart!

[maxiee]

True but I think they will either let him go which is dumb, or resign him and trade up for White, the only question is how far will they need to trade up?

[jtzsd43]

Although I really would like him, I predict Colt's FA WR Reggie Wayne goes to a team that has astro turf like the Rams or Vikings.

[BoltsfanNYC]

raiders somehow sign someone for a lot of money... denver will make moves so will jets... and washington we will sign... backups or guys who cant start anymore for there last team ...have a great draft and forget to give it to LT and PK will miss critical FG ! :)

[bigbolthead21]

T.O. signs with... the kansas city chiefs. John Abraham signs with Cleveland. Reggie Wayne signs with... the falcons. Randle el signs w/ the bears. Jamal Lewis signs with New England. Charles Woodson signs with Pitsburgh, Shaun Alexander resigns w/ seattle. San Diego signs Will Demps and Steve Hutchinson.

[Tomlinson21]

TO goes to Miami...Priest Holmes takes his show on the road and lands with the NY Jets...Reggie Wayne finds a new home in KC/SD (personal opinion - OK? Get over it. Although the Falcons could be the #1 go getter as the previous post says if not the Eagles.)...We get OG Stephen Neal from NE...Charles Woodson could end up with the Ravens...Hope/Archuletta gets picked up by the Bolts...

[CBO]

TO goes to Atlanta. Charles Woodson goes to Detroit. Mike Tice to Oakland. Alexander stays in Seatle so does Hutchinson. Neal to SD. Brian Williams to SD. Cullpeper to Arizona for #10 pick and JJ Arington. Ricky Williams to Arizona for next years 3rd rnd.

[CBO]

Ramsey to the Jets. Jamal Lewis to the Jets

[bigbolthead21]

ricky williams and the Dolphins 1st rd pk to the... vikings for culppeper. edge resigns w/ colts, darren howard to... the redskins. How about this one, brian williams to NE, & oakland ... trades for ... lavar arrington. How's that for predictions.

[Dojo]

jamal lewis to the steelers. Wayne, Hope, and Hutchison to the Bolts. Chargers trade fourth round pick to the redskins for arrington (these are hopefuls). TO to the Falcons. Carr gets traded to the Dolphins for second round pick. And Houston trades number one pick to Packers for a s load of picks. Charles woodson to the niners. Rivers gets traded before trade deadline for Aaron Brooks and first round pick from saints. And saints won't do bad next year.

[drangus]

OFFENSE

WR--the chargers will sign either David Givens from NE or Eric Moulds from Buf

OL--the chargers will outbid the cowboys for center LeCharles Bentley (relegating hardwick to B/U role) 5 years 25m

chargers will sign restricted FA Kris Dielman to 4 year 8m contract

RT Shane Olivea will move to RG (relegating goff to B/U role)

chargers will draft Jonothan Scott from texas with #19 to play RT

Oben will start at LT for one more year and then Scott will move over from RT

jordan, murczkowski, will fill out B/U roles maybe chargers pick-up one more tackle in the 3rd round (trueblood ?)

I expect the team to try to sign a PR/KR return specialist in the offseason again--WR Az Akim might be available--sproles will have to improve dramatically or he might be gone after TC
DEFENSE

the chargers will make a run at charles woodson for the right price

Lavar Arrington could come into the picture late, after the June cuts take effect--but only if the FO thinks he can play inside

the chargers will sign will demps from Bal to compete for SS position with hart and kiel

with our 2nd rounder we will take either the best NT available or a the best S available





the remaining six draft picks 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7 will be used to add depth either in the draft or via trade

we need one more OLB--Harris is too small

we need one more DE--Robinson didn't show much

we need a better RS--Sproles could be on his way out

and we will need a #3 QB if for some reason the team cannot re-sign Drew Brees long term

[LightningStorm]

Terrell owens is going to jacksonville mark my words

[drangus]

Sproles has been outstanding on Kick Returns but Returns is a different story. I'd be suprised if we let the guy go. i wouldnt move Foley inside. hes been umproperly used forever until he came here and played OLB in a 3-4. If Lavar does come here move him to the inside.

[TBOLTZCALI]

San Diego goes out and signs a S and OL help via FA. San Diego then either drafts WR or LB. If the Bolts dont get lucky in FA, look for them to go after a S and OL in the draft, then they will try getting a WR in FA.

I think Foley could do well inside. Playing with the likes of shawne phillips, shawne merriman and either edwards and godfrey, that could be an outstanding 4 on defense.

[Confuzed Azn]

Edge is released since signing him first THEN trading him would mean the Colts have to fork over a huge signing bonus when traded, which is dumb unless Cards/Vikings decide to pay it. Jamal to Pitt/Minne; Grease Ball cut and picked up by 9ers; Woodson to Browns; Randle El, Schaffer, and Witherspoon to Tampa (crossed fingers), Hutchinson and Alexander stay due to Seattle's cap room, Derrick Brooks gets cut(sadly) due to his 12 million dollar cap hit next season and is picked up by Vikes due to his ties with DC Tomlin; Bolts pick up Hope, Ashworth, Clements, and Lloyd; Schulters to Pitt; and to Tomlinson21's shigrin, Wayne gets signed by Da Bears. Phew* that's all that came to mind, mostly homer Buc stuff, but hey, what do you expect?

[TJ21]

TO to Pittsburgh.

[drangus]

where in my post did you read that foley is to move inside?

I said that if Lavaar Arringtion is to come here HE should be willing to go inside

[Redjaw]

If Cato June isn't resigned by the colts I hope he can become our new ILB

[SuperBowlBolts]

im not trying to imply you said that just a general thought because there other posters who would want foley to move inside.

[canadianfan_51]

If Cato June isn't resigned by the colts I hope he can become our new ILB


I don't know how effective Cato June would be at ILB. Bigger linebackers are needed to stuff the run more effectively between the tackles. And at 6'0, 220 or so pounds he's quite small. He's a good LB no doubt though.

hes a good OLB. he'll be another verison of donnie edwards. Dont get me wrong i love donnie but he just gets dragged too often for me. So we would be watching both of our ILBs being dragged for about a yard or two on many tackles.

[SD_Connection]

TO to Tampa.
Chargers sign: Wayne or Randle El, Demps or Hope.
Alexander, Hutchinson stay in Seattle
Texans trade Carr to Miami for Ricky and 1 or 2 Pick and draft Young.
Chargers keep Sproles, becomes star KR/PR
Woodson to Browns
Tice to Oakland then draft Marcus Vick

[SDBolts21]

Has there been any news on Lavaar showing interest here? or AJ showing interest?

[boltskickass21]

Good Idea for a thread, I actually like this one. Its entertaining.

[ltinabottle]

I predict Bolts sign the following free-agents:

Either Chris Hope, Marquand Manuel or Will Demps at free safety

They will draft Jonathan Scott OT

Sign a experienced center...Mawai?

As much as we covet Steve Hutchison, I predict Seahawks will find room in their cap to sign him.

[Mr. Heisman]

Lavaar could possible might be coming because him and shawn are best friends and Marty Loved him when he coach him in washington. It was on that cbs special be4 the game when we played washington. So it could happen and today Lavaar got fined for his contract! I wouldn't how ever give up anything higher than a 4th pick! I mean last year edge and shaun couldn't get a 3rd rounder so i believe we shouldn't go any lower than 3rd! Yet i do say Trade Rivers if possible and hopefully they throw in a pick! They do need a QB! Ramsey aint there qb and Mark is like a 100! They are possible intrested from a qb from West Virgina but they wont have a top 10 pick so they wont get him! I Smell something cookin? maybe! and before i start hearing it.... I'll beat you to ur quote "the sky is falling" push the panic button!!!!! :)

I think you forgot Jason Campbell he was there #1 pick this year

[BoltsfanNYC]

Rivers will not goto WA... if anywhere.... miami...arizona... det... Dallas If they sign brees... possible... tuna dont want any more kids!

[Mr. Heisman]

Jason Campbell! was over rated and everyone at the draft was shocked they took him that early he was suppose to go in the second possible 3rd. Trust me gibbs like him a pocket qb not a qb that trys to pretend to be one like Campbell!

Az wants some of Culpep. , det still like joey he just needs a line, miami possible, dallas the tuna we stay wit his drew aslong as he is there.

[ChampCharger]

Chargers trade Phillip Rivers, Sammy Davis and Shaun Phillips to the New York Jets and Recieve Ty Law, and a 3rd Round 06 Draft pick and a 2007 TBD.

Chargers sign Bigtime Center...(someone said Kevin Mawae)

Chargers land Lance Shulters at FS.

Chiefs sign Reggie Wayne.

Brandon Lloyd goes to Colts.

Drew Brees locked up until 2010.

Nice post! :Beer:
Sproles should improve his Punt returns with more experieance. If he doesnt then we have a problem.

[BoltsfanNYC]

I dont want sproles near a punt... any one else feel the same! ?

I love the kid but come on for every 3 punts a fumble?

[ChampCharger]

The boldened parts are the ONLY parts that make any sense at all. BTW, Drew will be locked up until around 2011/2012

Ty Law is the best CB and one of the best DB's in the game.
Maybe the trade package is off but the Jets need a QB and Law would make our corner combo the best in the AFC west.

Lance Shulters is the best FS available this offseason and Why the heck won't the Chiefs get Reggie Wayne.

[LarryAW]

Yeah. I close my eyes waiting for him to catch the ball. Unfortunately, I think he does, too. ;)

It was a problem area coming out of college. The Chargers did a lot of work with him in the preseason catching punts. I don't know if he'll ever be comfortable catching punts.

[GOBOLTS4Life]

Ok heres another one I thought of.. Aaron Brooks to the Raiders!!.. Just a thought

[TCUFAN5]

i think Lavar comes to SD Woodson to chiefs with reggie wayne priest will be back in Baltimore lewis to the jets aaron brooks to oakland ...jets center COULD have a chance coming here very unlikely too much money..

[Ikeman83]

The Chargers won't spend 10 million in cap room on another CB.

If the Jets wanted Rivers they'd have to offer us their 1st round pick and something else of value, as we could use D'Brick more than Ty Law. Law is amazing, but we have safety problems more than CB problems.

We won't go after Shulters because we don't need a FS, we need a strong safety that can play in the Rodney mold. Jue played well the first half of the season but he also got hurt at some point in there too.

Lastly, the Chiefs won't get Wayne because the Colts are going to franchise tag him. The writing is on the wall in 40 story letters that Edge is out and Wayne is staying.

I don't think we're going to be exceptionally active this offseason. Probably signing 2-3 FAs, and doing little else. I don't see our team as having alot of marketable talent that we would be willing to part with (largely because AJ has pretty much taken Rivers off the Market), so I wouldn't be expecting a lot of trades. :Helmet:

[Ikeman83]

The Redskins can't trade LaVar Arrington without murdering their cap numbers.

Charles Woodson could go anywhere, but since the Chiefs made big moves to get Surtain I don't see them pursuing Woodson.

Wayne isn't going anywhere, he will be franchised and held onto for dear life.

Priest is more likely to retire than to play, but if he was going to play I could see him going to Baltimore. Jamal Lewis might go to the Jets, he fits that running style.

Al Davis probably wouldn't be dumb enough to take a QB that couldn't get the ball to Joe Horn effectively. Then again, this is Al Davis.

As for Mawae, I think we're probably going to be going after LeCharles Bentley more than he.

Just my thoughts... :Helmet:

I would be happy with 2-3 FA pickups. This offseason. I think we have a knack for picking up good immediate impact guys in the draft. That would make for a great offseason.

As for that trade proposal...I was just throwing it out there. Ty Law would be pretty rad and I think Drew is our guy. Rivers should start somewhere else.

[Ikeman83]

Ty Law is pretty rad, but there are other, better ways to improve our team.I just think that trading a QB that can start for the next decade for a CB that can play for 2-4 seasons isn't a good idea. Trading Rivers for D'Brick on the other hand...

[Mr. Heisman]

Charles Woodson will be coming to the Chargers! atleast I Hope! We just need him for 2 years!

[Ikeman83]

Charles Woodson will be coming to the Chargers! atleast I Hope! We just need him for 2 years!

Is he worth 2 first round picks? Not to me... :Helmet:

[TCUFAN5]

no but later round picks possibly if we get what we need early enough i say yes

[CBO]

Is he worth 2 first round picks? Not to me... :Helmet:

Woodson will not be franchised this year. He will cost the Raiders 10-11Mil. They are already about 30mil over without him. I think he would be a good pickup for 3-4mil per due to the fact he is still under 30 and can play any teams #1. He is about the same size and speed as Jammer and that would give us 2 big cornners to play Porter and Moss or TO and Rod Smith. IMO he will be a good saftey as he gets a little older. would like this move.

if we make 2-3 moves here they are

Bentley
Backus
Woodson

I don't know if Woodson is durable enough. When is the last time that guy made it through a complete season? He seems to be a bit of a Character risk as well. I don't think that AJ will pick him up.

IMO he has been trying to get out of Oakland and trying to get a change of scenery.

[FanSince1979]

I hope we can get one or more of the following players in Free Agency:
OG Steve Hutchinson, Seattle
C LeCharles Bentley, New Orleans
LB Julian Peterson, San Francisco
OT John Runyan, Philadelphia
WR Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis - sounds like the Colts will keep him though
WR David Givens, New England
S Adam Archuleta, St. Louis
CB Nate Clements, Buffalo

[wikimama]

I think they will sign Will Demps because he went to SDSU and puts up similar stats to Chris Hope. I also think they will find a way to get either G-C Lacharles Bentley or Antwan Randle El. Bentley loves the line coach and would get a chance to play for a winning team and Randle El played QB under Cameron at Indiana and also new O-line assistant Hal Hunter was the OC when he played there.

I hope they get Randle El, he is an underrated WR and a great returner.

TO to the Broncos (and then tears the team apart midway through the season.)

John Abraham to the Chiefs

Reggie Wayne stays with the Colts

Randle El to the Bears

Jamal Lewis to the Panthers (after they let Foster walk)

Charles Woodson gets traded in a blockbuster trade for Ray Lewis strait up

Shaun Alexander stays or goes to Packers

Ahmad Green to the Cardinals or Packers (depending on Alexander)

Chargers get Bentley, Brandon Lloyd and Will Demps. Also, we trade Rivers and 3rd rounder for Jets #4 pick and Ty Law on draft day and pick up D'Brick. (I know A.J. says no but that ends up to be smoke and mirrors.) And we draft Chad Greenway with our 19th pick.

LOL!! I was following you until the last part about Rivers and then you completely lost me. Rivers is a Charger in 06 unless we get an incredible offer, you can bank on that.
I like the TO prediction best!:Beer:

i know. i had to rock the boat a little though. I just said that if Brees could comeback before draftday and show the team his arm is healthy. I think it will effect our depth but imagine our defense...ah i think i just creamed my shorts. law, demps, and greenway added, not to mention bentley and D'Brick to our O-line. Also, I've always loved Lloyd, the man can catch a football.

[Mr. Heisman]

Is he worth 2 first round picks? Not to me... :Helmet:

WOW where do you get this idea for two first round picks!? I won't give that up nor did i say that, but he won't even be traded! Raiders won't sign him nor fran. he'll be a free agent! We'll be able to sign him for 2-4 mil some where in that!

I would love these Moves!!! oh and then draft the coach more Oline talent!!!

I don't think Demps will get picked up because the Chargers have resigned Hart (not to ride the bench I would think)

I agree that there is a good chance Randel El and Bentley will come to us.

The day'll be sweet.

I think this would put us about 15 mil over the cap, minimum, possibly 20.

Second, I think that if we traded Rivers to anyone it would be the Jets, and that we would have to be retarded to draft Jimmy Williams at no 4 instead of Ferguson.

Third, Randle El is not worth the money.

4th, Hutch isn't going anywhere.

5th, Moss is gone by pick no. 40 if not inside pick 30.

Sorry to deflate hopes/dreams.

A TOP CB-
TOP G or C
A tackle..
THAT IS ALL I Want... anything else should be addressed by draft. and coaching

ANY 2 of these positions I think means 13-3 and a BYE homefield through the playoffs and a date in the DANCE!
VJ- for WR!

[loweezy]

when do we get a crack at other team's free agents?

Why in the world would Lynch have wanted to sign with a 4-12 Chargers team when he had playoff teams like the Broncos and Jets all over him?

Lynch wanted to go to a team that was contending for a Super Bowl immediately, and coming off of the 2003 season, no one (including Lynch) saw the Chargers as Super Bowl contenders.

Another factor to add into AJ not "acting fast" in March 2004 was the fact that 1/4 of the Chargers 2004 payroll was "dead money" - cap space dedicated to garbage thrown overboard (David Boston, Marcy Wiley, Stephen Alexander, etc.). AJ didn't have the money to spend on free agents even if he wanted to do so.

"Acting fast" means one thing: you're overpaying for someone else's unwanted players instead of AJ's mantra of "taking care of our own" (i.e. Jamal Williams, Antonio Gates, Keenan McCardell, LT, Steve Foley, Lo Neal, hopefully in the near future Drew Brees, etc.).

AJ needs to do what he's done in the past: target certain players and not act hastily and financially irresponsibly. :Bolt:

I agree with your positions of need, although I put ILB at a far higher level of need than CB going into 2006. Pass coverage from the ILBs was abysmal in 2005.

Here's to the Chargers long-term success and hopefully not a one-shot roll the dice on one "push year" deal!

[JoeMcRugby]

when do we get a crack at other team's free agents?
March 1st.

Until then, only the current teams can negotiate with them.

Jamal Lewis to the Panthers (after they let Foster walk)


I just heard on Sirius NFLRadio that the Panthers were pursuing Lewis. Wow, that was just a shot in the dark and I seemed to be right. If he goes, I got lucky I'll tell you that. I just thought that Lewis is alot like Steven Davis, but better so that's y I thought that he'd play well there. hmmmm, lets see the others.

Not good news for the Panthers IMO.

A guy who has two reconstructed knees (ACL repair jobs) who is a straightahead take the pounding type who has absorbed five years worth of NFL hits.

I'm afraid that Jamal's best days are behind him.

[Dojo]

How bout this one.
Charles Rodgers to the Chargers for a 5th and 7th round draft pick.

I know that Rodgers is injury prone but is still a number 2 pick overall. He hasn't yet shown what he could do on the field. I say give him a chance and get him a top of the line trainer, maybe the one that's training LT.
Maybe the reason Rodgers isn't doing well for the Lions is because it's a losing attitude. Maybe, he doesn't work as hard in the offseason to prepare himself for the season because in the back of his mind he knows he's gunna lose. Maybe, if he changes scenery, he could be a VERY good receiver for the Chargers. I would love to see that.

[ComputerFatGuy]

[QUOTE=Dojo] Wayne, Hope, and Hutchison to the Bolts. Chargers trade fourth round pick to the redskins for arrington (these are hopefuls). QUOTE]

that would be awesome! but most likely we will sign back-ups or no-names(dont get me wrong. some have done good) but a big playmaker would be nice

I liked him coming out of college and he was good in the games he played in. If we could get him for late round pick I wouldnt mind. I think a change would help him alot.

[Ikeman83]

I think getting out of Detroit would help anyone alot. Did you see what moving to Denver did for Cleveland's D-line? I think it would be the same thing... I could actually see Charles Rodgers being gettable for a 4 and 6, maybe for a 5 and 7, but it would really depend on how the Lions feel about him.

WOW, what if the whole WR core from Detroit came to us. They are very talanted, although I doubt theyd let the Williams' go.

[TheIceCreamMan]

y do u guys want sam madison hes about 30 sumthin years old

[Ikeman83]

I think he's got a season or two of greatness left. I think that Charles Rogers could be a true no 1 WR if he was coached well and taken out of that terrible system he plays in. When your QB is that bad, it's hard to work well with the system.

[TheIceCreamMan]

yea i wnt chrles to come to our teamm

is there a realistic chance of getting him?

[KYChargersFan21]

Anquan is a great reciever on a crappy team with a crappy QB. If i was GM I would get rid of Rivers and 3rd pick for Boldin and 4th round pick.




Tell Me What Yall think. Would this ever happen.

No, Anquan IS that team. We'd be getting a great WR, but if something happened to Drew we could be hosed.(complications, etc)

Also, they know that Anquan Boldin is great, do you think they'd trade him for Rivers when they have Warner for at least a few more years??? Come on.

[Ikeman83]

Charles Rogers probably is getting moved, Anquan Boldin is going to be the Michael Irvin of the Arizona franchise.

Exactly my thoughts. Boldin would be great, but what good would it do if Drew got injured and we got stuck with Feeley?

[FoutstoJJ]

Charles Rogers probably is getting moved, Anquan Boldin is going to be the Michael Irvin of the Arizona franchise.


totally agree. boldin will be going nowhere. and due to the fact I've drafted charles rogers 2 of the last 3 years on my fantasy team, and he continues to get hurt, I'm not a fan of picking him up....unless it was for a couple very late round picks.

[FoutstoJJ]

I'd personally like to see Randle El as #2, and he would work perfect for Cam Cameron's offense.

[SuperBowlBolts]

yea i wnt chrles to come to our teamm

is there a realistic chance of getting him?
I dont think the Raiders will tag him again, and hes wanted out of there for awhile. But im not to high on woodson. Whens the last time hes played a full season? He seems to have a bad case of the injury bug. Also to answer your question about Madison. The reason why we would want him even though he is old. Theres at least another two good years left in him, plus he'll bring the veteran leadership that were missing in the secondary.

[SuperBowlBolts]

I'd personally like to see Randle El as #2, and he would work perfect for Cam Cameron's offense.
So your willing to pay a #2 WR a #1 WR type of money, because thats how much it'll cost to bring him here.

[yonas]

i think he have the best chance at bentley, and probably sign a vetern DB and that's about it for AJ.

[FoutstoJJ]

So your willing to pay a #2 WR a #1 WR type of money, because thats how much it'll cost to bring him here.

True it would cost a lot, perhaps too much, but I do like his flexibility and diverse talent, and I believe he has been under utilized by the Steelers for the last couple of years, namely because they have an amazing number one (Hines Ward), whom catches the majority of balls from Big Ben.

[KYChargersFan21]

Well what if Brees is backed to full health would u then consider the trade?

[KYChargersFan21]

Aite guys ive posted my predictions for this years offseason. It should be on page 9. Take a look at them and tell me what u think about them.

*Brandon Lloyd would be a great addition. CHARGERS RULE:Helmet:

[SuperBowlBolts]

Well what if Brees is backed to full health would u then consider the trade?
No, because it takes at leat 8 mil out of cap room. Then you have to consider how much cap it will cost to get Brees locked up along with everyone else were gonna keep here/extend. With all that do you expect us to be active in FA? I dont, because we'll be over the cap come time to sign our rookies to deals.

Bentley and McCree would be solid pick ups, and might not empty the bank account either.
I can't see John Abraham being a Charger. Remember this is the guy whom gave the Jets all kinds of attitude problems prior to playing the Chargers in the playoffs of 04, due to being unhappy with his contract.
I'd love to have Lloyd, but if you were the storied 49ers franchise would you give up on your best WR when your franchise was trying to crawl out of three of year of ineptitude.

[KYChargersFan21]

I wants yalls honest opinion on who do u think the chargers will get. In the first 2 rounds and the free agency. And do you think we should get rid of Rivers if Brees is back to full health

[SuperBowlBolts]

You dont get rid of Rivers even if Brees is back to full health. At least this season why? Because it'll kill our cap room. Unless of course we're offerd something we cant say no, similar to the ShEli deal.

I think we'll pick up hope from the Steelers or Demps from the Ravens to fix our Safety problem. Then I think we'll take a shot a Bently seeing as how he would improve our line. But I dont think Bently is atop priorty for us because our main issue on the o-line is our tackles.

I couldnt agree with you more with Hope but i wouldnt take demps.........i like lecharles bentley he make a huge impact on our o line. But i have to ask u what about recievers we need one who can make an impact w mccardell getting old.

I dont think we'll be taking any WRs out of FA, at least not any big name ones such as Wayne, Randel El, or Llyod.. Reason being our WRs are solid even with KMac getting old. Plus VJ is still a question mark.

Honestly i still think we will take Lloyd from the niners. A guy like him probably wants to kno what it feels like to be on a winning NFL team. VJ alongside Lloyd would be the next Harrison Wayne combination

Nope Fitz is the TEAM!! That's Mr. Green's WR since he was a young one but they already sign Boldin to a couple years so it won't happen!!! Sorry Just like Ike said!

p/s warner will be bench and Josh will wow everyone over give him a chance

:Helmet: I love Charles Rogers and I like Sinorice but i doubt he'll be available in the draft. As you can tell i have my eye set on the Chargers taking a run at the most underated reciever Brandon Lloyd. I believe the niners will let him go due to a demand for more money. Lloyd has the speed and the skills and loves to use his body. Hes a real deep threat which we really need. As for Rogers i believe theres a good chance he'll be in charger blue next season.

Rogers is damaged goods. I wouldn't want him. He has two violations of the substance abuse policy, was suspended 4 games last season, and 90% of reports out of Detroit are that he is undedicated, and last but not least, he has been touched by the Lions organization. That's like the death touch when it comes to skill players.

One toke away from a mandatory one-year suspension, eh?

Sounds like AJ's kind of guy!! :Bolt:

Add into the equation that he missed almost his entire first two years with two separate collarbone injuries.

Two seasons missed to injury and his third he's suspended for substance abuse. Let's trade a first round pick and sign him to an 8 figure bonus contract. What could possibly go wrong? ;)
