Geno Smith
It’s the Monday after Easter. I’m sure you are all coming down from food and candy comas, so take a big sip of your morning beverages and check out these headlines!
* Geno Smith. So who should draft West Virginia’s Geno Smith? Charley Casserly talked with NFL.com about who could possibly pick up the potential number one quarterback. Now. He said Buffalo. But this was obviously recorded prior to the Bills signing Kevin Kolb. He did suggest Arizona. But didn’t find it likely considering the Bills obvious need. I guess we will just have to see what happens.
ESPN is reporting, per sources, the Kansas City Chiefs will meet with Smith today. If that’s the case… poor Alex Smith.
* RG3 News and Notes! A little more information about the talk between President Barack Obama and Robert Griffin III was revealed Sunday. The President had some advice for the quarterback who will enter his second season this fall. Noting an injury that ended his spectacular rookie campaign, the president advised RG3 to protect himself on the field.
Yeah…
Good advice coming from the President who advised Michael Vick to learn how to slide!
* NFL Community Reaches out to Kevin Ware. RG3 was one of many NFLr’s to reach out to Kevin Ware, the Louisville basketball player, who suffered a horrible leg injury during Sunday’s Elite Eight game against Duke.
* Cleveland Brown QB Problems? The Cleveland Browns signed quarterback Jason Campbell last week. If this leaves you scratching your head wondering why, we’re in the same boat! The Browns have a fine QB in Brandon Weeden, who will enter his second season this fall. So what is up? Per NFL.com, Weeden will get “most” of the first-team reps in off-season workouts, meaning Jason Campbell will at least begin the Browns’ off-season program firmly in a backup role. And there is still the 2013 NFL Draft. The Brown haven’t ruled out selecting a quarterback next month, though an underwhleming draft class might work to the advantage of both Weeden and Campbell.
*Matt Flynn? Trade talks are still happening that would send Seattle backup QB Matt Flynn to the Oakland Raiders. Per NFL.com sources, the Seahawks would acquire a 2013 draft pick and a conditional 2014 selection as part of the deal, if it’s completed. The Seahawks’ portion of the deal essentially is done. It appears the Raiders are holding up the deal. Flynn is apparently hesitant to changing the terms of his contract. This would indicate the Raiders aren’t necessarily pleased with the prospect of paying Flynn $5.25 million in 2013 and $6.25 million in 2014.
Monday Fun!
And because today is Opening Day for my beloved St. Louis Cardinals, I present to you … my favorite gif … EVAR!
Have a spectacular day!
