The Daily Dropback: Feb. 28, 2008

Be sure to tune in Friday morning for a very special edition of the Pigskin Podcast. I can barely contain my excitement! In the meantime, more links:

Predictably, the Browns, unable to get quarterback Derek Anderson signed to a long-term deal, have given him a high tender.

And Plain Dealer Browns beat reporter Tony Grossi thinks that's a good thing.

A satirical take on the scouting combine from ESPN.com Page 2 funnyman D.J. Gallo. My favorite:

29. De'Cody Fagg, WR, Florida State: Fagg suffered a serious knee injury at the combine while running a "tap-tap" drill that requires receivers to get both feet inbounds on sideline catches. Onlookers say Fagg may have been distracted by Brady Quinn taunting him from the stands.

I was completely and totally wrong about David Carr, and I'm not too big a man to admit it.

Free agency starts Friday -- I was also wrong about not having enough to blog about in this space! -- and here are the four who could move that day.

"Young veterans" are also in demand.

Packers president "guesses" Brett Favre will be back. Y'know, the usual offseason song and dance.

Yesterday's linked mock draft had Glenn Dorsey going ninth. SI.com's Don Banks, in his post-combine mock, has Dorsey going fifth. (Yesterday's mock also had Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie going 30th to Green Bay; this one has him 18th. That's a large difference.)

Not good news for the Bears: They stand to lose a ton in free agency.

College spring practice is nearing, and BG's outlook looks ominous: "The buzz: The Falcons would be better off if they can decide on a feature back. Coaches also need to find three new starters on the offensive line. The Falcons figure to spend a lot of time in the spring shoring up their weak run defense."
