To be fair....the dolphins have a history of taking our first round RBs. We'll prob be tweeting "ingram to MIA???" in 5yrs.

Agreed. P. Thomas, Ingram, Ivory. RT @JasonLaCanfora: @TXSaint @LHolderCBS I don't see them going after RBs

Dolphins' interest in Reggie Bush doesn't surprise me. Been saying for weeks, Miami makes sense -- on & off field -- for Bush.

Will say that I think once the rookie wage issue is solved, there is hope the sides can capitalize on the momentum, start pushing to a deal. (Jon note: Wasn't the rookie wage issue solved in March? What the hell happened?)

Really good question. Gotta respect the sacrifice here. RT @RalphCindrich Saturday is a leader but how is he to get ready for the season?

Some dude just walked by, looked at all those staked out, threw his arms in the air and said "Wooo! Football!!!" So there's your optimism.

AROUND THE LEAGUE:

Titans want a veteran quarterback who can teach and/or start | ProFootballTalk
As the Titans bid farewell to Kerry Collins and prepare to cut ties with Vince Young, they need a veteran presence on the depth chart to complement Jake Locker and Rusty Smith. Coach Mike Munchak says they're looking for a certain type of guy.

Men’s Journal writer defends James Harrison, blasts "idiot" quarterbacks | ProFootballTalk
Steelers linebacker James Harrison claimed his words were twisted when he was quoted by Men's Journal as ripping some of his own teammates. But the writer whose integrity was called into question by Harrison is not upset by Harrison's remarks -- and he agrees with everything Harrison says.

Brian Cushing’s agent says James Harrison should be disciplined by Steelers | ProFootballTalk
Agent Drew Rosenhaus, who represents Texans linebacker Brian Cushing along with somewhere between 10 and 1,000 other NFL players, doesn't like the criticism that Steelers linebacker James Harrison leveled against Cushing in Harrison's scorched-earth Men's Journal interview.

Report: Broncos quickly realized drafting Moreno was a mistake | ProFootballTalk
This has not been a great offseason for Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno. We learned that he was likely headed for a reduced role in the Broncos backfield with the arrival of John Fox. The new head coach said running back was their No.

Joe Webb’s lockout coach: Brett Favre | ProFootballTalk
Brett Favre didn't exactly have a reputation in Green Bay or New York as a guy that would go out of his way to help his understudy at quarterback. Perhaps (supposed) retirement has him more relaxed.

Moresteads on Instagram?

Anybody else on there look me up, same name! Now, as far as Moss goes, I think he has 2 or 3 solid years left, he just needs to be with a great QB. I think people are overplaying how “old” he is.

2010 is cuzzin's breakout year...run with that chip bruh!

When I say he's "getting old"

I’m not talking about his age.

LOL.!

To be honest, I really don’t see him as that big of a problem. He complains a little and etc., but TO is my standard of divas and I think Moss can be handled.

You're probably right but

I like a player who has more TV time in play highlights than in interviews.

i hear that too...

but did you see that one-handed catch he made against Revis in the endzone last season. They were going at it all week and Moss just caught it like it was nothing. Granted Revis was a lil’ banged up but it showed Randy had the speed and the hands. I think he’ll get at least 10 tds this season.
