What's up with Tommy Maddox?

[postermaster]

Last week we heard the rumor that Tommy was in Miami's radar for a backup of QB Daunte Culpepper (Also if he can play the opener of the season, we need an experienced backup for any "unhopeful disgrace" to Daunte, Cleo Lemon or Brock Berlin are not the suplies yet), so Tommy was meeting with the Dolphin's officials last week talking about a contract and later on, I didn't hear anything about him, not even if he was going to meet another team or something...

So if anyone knows his status or heard something about him, please tell us.

Also, if you don't know his status or heard anything about him, tell us what do you think that will happen with him.

i think he eventually sign here due to his past relationship with MM. He threw for the most yds in steelers history with Mularkey calling plays. He's like Gus with Linehan, a guy that's not spectacular but works well in the system. Also, he should be VERY cap friendly.

Isn't it funny? talking about Linehan and Frerrote, this will be their 3rd straight year together in different teams.

I also think that Tommy will sign here with a very friendly cap...

IMHO the hesitation to sign Maddox is an indication of our interest in Joey Harrington.

NO TOMMY!!!!!

He'd be a nice option. I read somewhere though hat the Lions might hold on to him until june. We can't wait that long for him and I know we won't trade anything for him. Maybe our last 7th rounder.

Here's the quote from PFS

HARRINGTON: "TEAM HATES ME, I HATE TEAM"

As speculation, rumor, and innuendo regarding the events that transpired at the ill-fated quarterback school involving eventually-to-be-former Lions signal-caller Joey Harrington and offensive coordinator Mike Martz continue to trickle out of Motown, we're told that the catalyst for the looming divorce was a meeting between Harrington and CEO Matt Millen.

Harrington, we hear, went into Millen's office and said, "I hate the team, and the team hates me. I want out."

And Millen opted to honor the request.

The Lions are still holding out hope of getting value for Harrington in lieu of simply cutting him loose. The current favorites to send a low-round pick to Detroit for the former No. 3 overall selection are the Chiefs and the Vikings.

Look for the Lions to use the possibility of trading Harrington to the Vikings to get the Chiefs to cough up a six or a seven. In the end, though, we doubt that the Lions would trade Harrington within the same division. In 1999, for example, the Vikings wanted to trade from the No. 11 spot up to the No. 9 pick in the draft when the Vikes hoped to get in front of the Ravens at No. 10 and select cornerback Chris McAlister. The Lions, who held the No. 9 pick, declined because they didn't want to do business with a then-NFC Central rival.

Any trade, of course, hinges on the willingness of Harrington to work out a contract that reduces the $8.5 million cap number that his new team would absorb in 2006, based on a $4 million roster bonus due in June and a $4.5 million salary.

He needs to come in at a very low price if you ask me $1-2 mil​

I'm almost confident that the Tommy plot should be resolved by the next week and that we will ink him.

Well get one thing straight...This is not Mularkey's playbook...Actually Mularkey will learn the playbook from the players...Maddox will have to learn and be succesfull in the dolphin's system, and not the system he played in and had success with Mularkey...

Yes, but you have always to consider that Mularkey will add his star plays to this playbook and some of them will have been used by Maddox under Mularkey's staff

I hope Tommy Maddox is NOT signed. He was atrocious the last two years.

No thanks. No way.

Pssst.... Tommy...... ever think of becoming a JET???

Hey, he has been ever a very solid QB, if Culpepper isn't ready for the opener who would you like to replace him, Cleo Lemon????????

 

[Fresh]

Hopefully, he signs elsewhere fast. I don't want him on this team.

Joey Harrington, please...thanks.
