Figured he would do this. I don't think he wants to be at that place any longer. The money also doesn't hurt.

Last draft in which rookies can get the big contracts. I don't blame any player, that is eligible, for going after this season.

Even if it wasn't the last year for big contracts he was going to bolt.

Chris Mortensen said this was false. I was surprised to hear him say this but he said that players shouldn't believe "lying agents" and elaborated by stating that there is some sort of rookie pay scale coming but the earliest that it would be implemented would be 2012.

Maybe Jake Locker knew this and that's why he stayed.

Mort has been wrong before but this was the first time that I heard this and found it interesting.

Can he catch and tackle? If so I know a nice place for him.

This will be a tough spot for UM to fill, he's a solid CB.

Warren went about this all wrong.

When a player files the paper work to have their draft status considered, the NFL evaluates the player then notifies his head coach, who in tell informs the player. Well according to RichRod, he hasn't heard from the NFL concerning Warren, so he is basically going in there blind. BAD choice, but then again look at who his agent is!
