The Gentry

What a dumbass. He just got cut by the lowly Raiders and picked up again, and he has to know he's on a short leash. "Police officers had ordered McClain and several other people to leave the park after a large crowd had gathered there. McClain allegedly refused to do so, and began cursing at the officers. Authorities said McClain was eventually handcuffed and taken to the city jail before bonding out a short time later."

OAK has traded 2 picks to Seattle for Matt Flynn, will sign papers on it this AM & now trying to finalize Carson Palmer to AZ for late pick

As quarterback quandaries play out around the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs hope that one leads to enough desperation for a team to trade up for their No. 1 overall pick. Could one such bidder be the Oakland Raiders, owners of the No. 3 pick, where quarterback Carson Palmer appears willing to force himself out of the franchise? "I certainly hope so," one Chiefs source said Thursday when asked about Palmer and whether his uncertain future could force the Raiders to deal.

Andy Reid reiterates that Eagles never wanted to trade Nick Foles, so conversations ended there.

According to former teammate Vontae Davis, free agent Sean Smith is "talking" to the Chiefs. "I seen my dude Sean Smith last night he said (he's) talking to KC him & (Brandon) Flowers will make a good duo," was Davis' specific tweet. That, of course, is tampering, but such talks are rarely policed this time of year. The Chiefs had a big hole opposite Flowers after letting Brandon Carr walk last season, and have relatively few high picks in this year's draft. That could mean they'll be looking to fill some needs via free agency. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Smith is "maybe the most coveted" corner on the market. -Per Rotoworld

We hear three teams who select at the top of round two, including the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets, think highly of Nassib. Its not out of the question one of these teams moves back into the late part of round one to select the Syracuse product.

Hold the love of your life close. It's okay that no one can see her but you.

The Browns have reportedly been in contact with impending free agent Derek Anderson about re-joining Rob Chudzinski in Cleveland. If so, it would be a violation of the league's tampering rules because free agency hasn't begun. Anderson hinted on his Facebook page that a deal was already in the works to return to Cleveland as a backup QB. "Looks like it is time to make a return to a familiar place for some unfinished business," said Anderson. "I'd be honored to return to Cleveland to play football if the fans would have me."

We have a need at CB. I think this would be a good option to bring in and check out.

Eric Winston has derailed the real story from the game yesterday. 50 running plays to 18 passing plays (BAL had 24 to 27 respectively). To me (and many other APers), it looks like Romeo sending a message to Pioli with a vote of no confidence in Cassel. Or is it really the best way to go about beating BAL? This is the real story. I'm less concerned about fans and their etiquette in the stadium and more concerned about the game on the field, and Winston should be too. If you want to be embarrassed, how about being embarrassed to be 1-4?

Oh man - not good news for Jason Smith...or the Rams...or their fans.
