I've never heard of a doctor performing a surgery to ADD cancer to a patient.

I think this team needs some attitude. We're mired in nice-guy mediocrity.

He's under contract to Tampa Bay and thus not available. Tampa will try to trade him when the trading period begins again.

Meshawn was not released, simply deactivated and still draws his salary.

This thread was more of a "spoof" on the threads that invariably pop up after a team releases a player.

I am surprised that people missed your spoof.

If he were available, I'd take a flyer on him. I wouldn't want to trade for him, though. If he was released outright, I'd be tempted to take on the contract, but even that might be enough to scare me away. If he was completely free, though...what the heck would it hurt? And don't give me team chemistry because, ah duh, we DON'T HAVE ANY!!! It's time that this failed experiment called 'our current situation' comes to an end (can any of you tell me what movie I pulled the majority of that quote from?)

He'' be released in the offseason.I agree though that this team does need some attitude.

Guess that explains why 16 GMs put in a claim for him. I didn't realize he was that exciting.

Anyhow, we'll never, ever find anyone released who can be better than Gilmore or Poole. No way. Not with how those two studs have torn up the league.

Yeah, I heard that the NFL actually paid Larry Foster to leave the Cardinals because they were afraid he'd break all the WR records!

Keyshonn and Mike Ditka are waiting by the phones.

By the way, JJ Stokes got picked up by the Pats.

The thing about Keyshawn...he doesn't have great hands, he's not expecially fast, he doesn't make a lot of great plays after the catch...but teams pay way more attention to him than any other reciever on the field with him. Keenen and Jurevicious make tons of plays yet Key draws all of the doubleteams and safety help. He's done nothing but be named Keyshawn Johnson, which is apparently enough to have teams focus their coverage on you. Maybe we can have McAddley apply for a name change so he can finally be useful. He might as well accomplish something while he's here. We could bring him in as a multi million dollar decoy so teams don't double Quan. He's not as great as everyone (especially Keyshawn himself) thinks he is, he's better than all but one of the recievers we have right now. If we could sign him to a reasonable contract I would be thrilled to have him here, but I don't think ANYONE will sign him to a deal that accurately reflects what he is worth.

I am still waiting for these great young WR that Sullivan is supposed to create to arrive.

I completely disagree (except with the "not fast" part). Key has great hands and is open a lot, dispite double coverage. The guy is dependable. Like I said before, he's not the superstar (anymore) he makes himself out to be, but the guy can ball.

And, as far as his attitude goes, it doesn't seem to me to be a cancerous type. The guy just thinks a lot of himself, but he gives everything he can on the field.

Whoever gets him next year will be better for it.

I watch Tampa every week and Keyshawn drops a LOT of passes. He's clutch but he doesn't make a whole lot of plays during the first 3 quarters.
