And would this trade really happen right after Byron Leftwich was named the starter?

If you want to trade someone do you tell everyone he's a scrub with no value?

No but he seems to be in the Jaguars' plans. 80% chance this trade doesn't happen.

It's been talked about all offseason and Del Rio said yesterday that it was most likely not going to happen. Just like last year when the Jaguars were supposed to sign TO, it's empty rumors.

[Colt McCoy]

Seems like there's usually a lot more news out of the combine than there is this year; both trade rumors and talk about the draft prospects.

News on OL bench presses:

Joe Thomas - 28 reps
Levi Brown - 31 reps
Manuel Ramirez - 40 reps
Justin Blalock - 40 reps

I can't see the trade happening. It's all BS talk. Moss's contract is too fat to move and he is past his prime. Plus, Jacksonville already has two young receivers to throw to. Why get an overpaid, past-his-prime WR?

40 reps at 225 is freakin' strong.

Yes, but also take into account the distance they have to push the weights upwards.

Joe Thomas and Levi Brown are possibly as stronger, if not stronger than Ramirez and Blalock. Only reason they got lower numbers is because of their ridiculously long arms. Due to their long arms, they have to push the weights to a higher altitude to complete a full bench press.

Last year I saw that that DT from Ohio State put it up 45 times (which I think tied the record). It was amazing to see someone moving that much weight that many times.

I don't think he even got drafted though.

After watching these kids do that, those numbers are [censored] amazing. Watching Blalock push 40 out with the Arizona S&C coach yelling at him, "Go Texas, GO" it made me want to run to the weight room.

I used to think I was a badass for 17 reps, ha. These guys have to have been created in some other world because those numbers just seem impossible.
