Warrick and Price Cut

[yankeessuck013]

peerless price and peter warrick were cut today.

 

i think one of them will be going to the eagles, im guessing peerless price.

 

he was stupid to leave the bills, had 9 TD in his last season with them, and 6 TD's in his 2 years with the falcons.

I think this guy does have a lot of talent, maybe he was just never comfortable in atlanta. He'll probably end up with the eagles.

Two big-name wide receivers were released yesterday; now it's up to the Eagles to see if they want to spend the money to sign either one of them. Atlanta released Peerless Price, who they spent a No. 1 pick to acquire just two years ago, and Cincinnati cut Peter Warrick, who they selected with the fourth overall pick of the 2000 draft. "Price would be real interesting for them," a personnel man for another NFC team said. "I think he's a good second guy. Look at his production in Buffalo. In Atlanta, it just didn't work out. Dallas, Seattle and New England are all believed to be interested in Price, as well. "I don't know if (Warrick) fits them as well as Price," the personnel man said. "First, you have to make sure he's healthy."

You can say bitch.

I don't knw about the Pats signing these guys...we've got quite a lot of WRs already.

 

I say Peter Warrick goes to Tampa - that's where he's from.

[riverside sluggers]

I like the Pats wide receivers at #1 Deion Branch, #2 David Givens, #3 Andre Davis or Troy Brown. Pats already have their share of punt and kick returners so not meaning really to add on another receiver

[stocker323]

I say Warrick to the Colts, the Stokley injury may be serious and he may blossom as a receiver with Manning and their system.

Peter Warrick is coming to Seattle for a checkup. The No. 4 overall draft choice in 2000, released Tuesday by the Cincinnati Bengals, was expected to visit with Seahawks officials today. Results of a physical examination could determine whether Seattle makes a strong run at procuring his services. Warrick, 28, suffered a knee injury in 2003 and a broken fibula last season. When healthy, he was an effective punt returner and possession receiver; his numbers in 2003 included 79 catches and a 10.9-yard average on punt returns.

 

A future option is Peter Warrick, who was released by the Bengals yesterday and is expected to work out for the Giants later this week.

Seattle would be a real nice fit for Warrick. Another team who should be interested but I haven't heard anything is the Houston Texans. Clearly Andre Johnson is awesome but who the hell is the other reciever there? Bradford stinks and so does Gaffney....Mathis is fast but very unproven. Hello Houston anyone home??

Warrick Signs with Seahawks

 

Wasting little time after his release by the Cincinnati Bengals one day earlier, wide receiver Peter Warrick on Wednesday afternoon signed a one-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks, despite avid interest from other teams.

 

The basic contract is worth $1.4 million, which includes a $500,000 signing bonus and a base salary of $900,000. But the five-year veteran can earn an additional $880,000 -- the difference between his deal with the Seahawks and the $2.28 million base salary that he was scheduled to make in Cincinnati -- through incentives.

 

Warrick will earn $220,000 with 30 receptions, then an additional $220,000 each for 40, 50 and 60 catches. It is also believed that Warrick will return punts for the Seahawks, who have been seeking to add another veteran wideout.

 

It will be interesting to see how Seattle coach Mike Holmgren utilizes Warrick from a formation standpoint. The Seahawks already have a terrific slot receiver, the position at which Warrick has been most successful, in Bobby Engram. The veteran Engram was moved into the starting lineup, though, this summer, when the Seahawks released former first-round wideout Koren Robinson.

 

Warrick had been scheduled to make at least two other visits, to Tampa Bay and the New York Giants, and several other teams had indicated interest in meeting with him. But he flew to Seattle on Tuesday evening, shortly after his release, passed the team's physical exam on Wednesday morning, and agent Drew Rosenhaus then moved quickly to close a deal with Seahawks officials.

 

The Tuesday release of Warrick, who appeared in only four games in 2004 because of leg and shin injuries, was not altogether surprising. The five-year veteran missed much of camp as he sought to rehabilitate from injuries and appeared in just one of Cincinnati's three preseason contests.

 

At various times in camp, coach Marvin Lewis hinted broadly that he felt Warrick might not have been as diligent as necessary in his rehabilitation. Lewis noted to ESPN.com in a training camp visit that the Bengals staff, at that point, was preparing as though Warrick might not be available.

 

Certainly there were less than subtle hints that Warrick might not be a part of the team's plans for 2005, particularly given the Bengals' new-found depth at wide receiver.

 

On Monday, when he returned to practice for the first time in a week, Warrick made a public request that, if the Bengals were going to jettison him, they do so in this first round of cuts, rather than wait until the weekend, when rosters must be pared to 53 players, the NFL regular-season limit.

 

"If they're going to let me go, let me go [Tuesday]," Warrick said Monday after practice. "Don't let me go the last week. Don't do me like that. That's disrespectful to me. Let me go [Tuesday]. It's been decided. I just don't know what they've decided."

 

Warrick, 28, enjoyed a career-best season in 2003, with 79 receptions for 819 yards and seven touchdowns. For his career, Warrick has 264 catches for 2,811 yards and 18 scores, having appeared in 66 games, with 55 starts.

 

Never as fast as advertised when he came out of college, Warrick nonetheless has good quickness and finally flourished when the Bengals moved him from an outside receiver spot and into the slot position.

[yankeessuck013]

"Pats looking deep: There has to be something behind the Patriots interest in wide receivers. Even though they appear to be loaded at the position with Deion Branch, David Givens, Troy Brown, Bethel Johnson, Tim Dwight and David Terrell, the Patriots made contact with former Falcons receiver Peerless Price. They also tried to acquire Peter Warrick before he was released by the Bengals. The Patriots surprised everyone by trading a fifth-round pick for wide receiver Andre Davis."

 

From ESPN Insider

 

" Price check: Approximately 15 teams checked in on the availability of former Falcons wide receiver Peerless Price. He's mapped out a preliminary plan. He will visit the Miami Dolphins Thursday"

He'd fit real well with the Jets, but I don't think they'll make a run at him. Spent too much money to keep Chrebet on the team to move him to a 4 receiver.

[podsednik20]

would you ever of thought Peerless price going to the cowboys? lol woo hoo

[26 to 6]

I was hoping we (Jets) would get Price...but Arod is right on the Chrebet point

[yankeessuck013]

well if you're a jets fan I couldnt help but laugh at the words of Jonathan Vilma on ESPN's Hot Seat.

 

he said "drew bledsoe" is the hardest QB to sack.

 

As far as bringing him down once he is grabbed, yea he's tough as hell to sack.

 

As far as just getting to him... easiest.

 

I wonder how much drew payed vilma to say that?

[podsednik20]

haha, that is hillarious!! Drew Bledsoe is no Roger Staubach, lol
