I guess my new Twitter didn't work T... Catch This Vincent Jackson Jackson lands with the Bucs in a huge deal that will guarantee him $26 million. V-Jax will be matched up with the big arm of Josh Freeman.  Jackson was inconsistent is San Diego and will be in Tampa as well.  This does bode well for the the fantasy value of Josh Freeman and Mike Williams.  V-Jax will be a solid WR2, but don’t reach for him as a top 12 guy. Pierre Garcon Pierre turned down a huge deal from the Colts a few weeks back and I thought he was nuts.  Thing is, this guy must have the best agent in the universe to get him the mega deal he got with the Redskins today.  Sorry, the dude can run fast, but WRs need to have the ability to catch and stuff.  His route running is worse than my 9 year olds and I would love to grab a beer with Peyton to confirm how big a f*ck up this signing was.  Garcon is NOT a #1 WR and will be a WR3 at best in fantasy, but even when he has been a WR3 over the past few...

Via Deuce of Davenport  |  March 14, 2012
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers shelled out $56 million for a 5 year contract with $26 million of it is guaranteed for wide-receiver Vincent Jackson.  HUGE payday for the 29 year old wideout and thankfully for Washington Redskins fans, it was not their favorite team that shelled out that kind of money to just one player.

Via Football Nation  |  March 13, 2012
Okay, Shawne, maybe Buffalo should keep you. Yesterday, Bills oft-injured linebacker (and future 4-3 defensive end) Shawne Merriman showed he may have some worth to the success of Buffalo, whether or not he plays another down on the field. Though he's spent two years with the Bills, Merriman has played in exactly five games in the red and blue, all of them in 2011. He's...

Many in the media, along with the entire fan base has come down like a ton of bricks it seems over the years on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for not taking advantage of immense available cap space on the open market.

DJ's Deal, and the Eagles become the Phillies

Via Five Tool Tool  |  March 15, 2012
So the football laundry did the deal with WR DeSean Jackson today, with a thoroughly sensible 5 year deal for $51 million that doesn't tie the club down too badly in event of injury or ineffectiveness, and gets him in under the gun. You can't argue that he's overpaid, given the insane cash thrown at Calvin Johnson, the better money thrown at Vincent Jackson, and the comparable...
