It's that time of the year.

First one I've seen - Jonathan Baldwin, WR Pittsburgh
"Heck yeah I'm leaving," Baldwin texted. "It can only get worse. They had me running a lot of deep routes (this year) and yards were hard to come by. I barely ran intermediate routes; it felt like they were purposely trying to disrupt my draft stock."

I don't necessarily agree. In that statement he shows not only willingness but also endearment towards intermediate routes, which are crucial in the NFL.

That's one way to take it. It's a lot easier to be brutally honest when you are leaving and your coach was forced out.

Translation: They wouldn't let me get "mine."

Definitely not endearing to franchises who are considering drafting you. Another big mouthed WR...

9 out of 10 are big mouthed, it goes with the position pretty much.
Everyone thought the same about Dez Bryant. Especially after the training camp incident with Williams,and prior to his injury he was playing great.

That quote will not hurt his draft status whatsoever.

I'd think the early declarees might be small this year withthe lockout potential.

Cross country runners don't have the right to call anyone pussies.

He played other sports, and CC is a very popular sport in his town.

He sounds like...every other #1 WR in the league. I agree, if he can play, he'll get paid.

Baldwin's quote could be taken a number of ways but I doubt it will have any affect on his draft status; his combine and interview with GMs will do that. Still kinda funny he said it though.

Go out today, run 3.1 miles, don't stop to rest or walk, then get back with us.

Oh yes please.

I'd love to go 6-6 next season with Bauserman as our QB.
