WAS: Frontrunners to get Vince Young:

Source: South Florida Sun-Sentinel - Omar Kelly

Omar Kelly, from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, says that he's heard the Washington Redskins could be the frontrunners to land QB Vince Young.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ OUR VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

John Beck is not going to be the Redskins starter this year. The team failed to address the QB position in the NFL Draft, so we expect them to explore trades and free agency when allowed. Young is trying to resurrect his career and Mike Shanahan could give him a chance to do just that. Shanahan is very close friends with former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher and likely knows everything there is to know about the inner working of Young.

TEN: Considering Re-signing Kerry Collins

Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt said the team is considering re-signing QB Kerry Collins but are also looking at other possibilities that could be available once free agency begins.

This makes a lot of sense because of Collins familiarity with the team. His price may not be too high, and he would provide veteran insurance behind Jake Locker.

ARI: Not interested in QB Donovan McNabb

Source: The Arizona Republic - Kent Somers

The Arizona Cardinals are not interested in Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb, who is expected to be released in the offseason.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ OUR VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

This isn't the first time we've heard that Arizona has no interest in McNabb. Many feel they want to trade for Eagles backup QB Kevin Kolb, and have a 'plan B' to trade for Kyle Orton if a deal for Kolb can't be made.

Yea, I wouldn't take VY or Collins if they offered to work for free. I still think McNabb could be a good mentor for Cam for a year (or more if he's willing to take the back seat after the first year) despite playing in a WCO in the pros. As people have already said, just having someone for Cam to relate to as a mentor could be a huge help. McNabb heard the same boos on draft day and heard the same questions about his ability to transition to the pros. And as far as I know McNabb has always kept his nose clean, so he could be a positive influence in that respect also.

No way Vince comes here. Kerry Collins would be a good choice, except for his history here. Mcnabb is the only realistic potential member on that list. And I wonder if he would go to a team that finished last in the league. I would bet he wants to go to a legit contender if he has a choice.

Yikes Vince Young? Much better to bring back Sexy Rexy.

GOT to disagree. Rex Grossman is a free agent and will want or demand to start and will win at most 4 games, with Young they will be in more games, plus, maybe they can trade Haynesworth for Young first. the point is, Vince Young needs Washington and Washington could use him, if nothing more than a stop gap player for a year. Grossman and Beck arent good stop gap players, they are not going to sell tickets either, people wont even want to come to the games.

Now CAROLINA shouldnt take Young (Vince Young over Kyle Orton), Washington should because of no other option, but Carolina drafted Young. they should look into Collins (if they dont get Volek, Bulger or Hasselbeck, who i doubt they get) and they SHOULD sign McNabb, but i doubt he wants to go to. McNabb wants to go to a team where he can win.

Young is garbage. (coach killer) A least Grossman has played in a Super bowl and isn't a headcase. I believe Washington will go with someone like Beck so they can maybe have a shot at Luck. But bringing it Young is out of the question. Young is NOT bringing in anymore ticket sells in DC.

And only in green uniforms...

And McNabb and Kolb aren't comparable. McNabb is a good QB who has proven himself, Kolb isn't. Even Matt Cassel actually did something to fool everyone into hyping up his FA status/trade stock. Kolb was so-so in 4 or 5 starts. Cassel did reasonably well (in an awesome offense) for 15 starts. The Kolb hype is insane.

you GOT to be kidding. At least Grossman played in a Super Bowl!!!!!??? Why not bring in Dilfer to backup while they are at it!!!?? Sorry, but Grossman is garbage. he's a turnover machine. i want Young just for the one year stop gap type of QB.

I believe Washington will go with someone like Beck so they can maybe have a shot at Luck.

And you know what will happen when they go with someone like Beck???? they lose ALOT of games and Shanahan is fired, which means, he cost himself a job trying to get Luck, yeah, sounds like a BAD move there. Costing yourself a job just to get a franchise QB.

But bringing it Young is out of the question. Young is NOT bringing in anymore ticket sells in DC.

Young would bring in ticket sales to people who like him and he would at least make the Redskins a little bit more serious. With Beck they win at most 4 games. in other words, they win 2 games. Beck was a 3rd string QB for a reason.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
