Re: NFL Auctions - John Beck
I dunno, 2010 could be Beck's year. See below a blurb from ESPN Insider on the possible trade of John Beck. Send Beck to a powerhouse like the Cleveland Browns and maybe Air Beck takes off in that high octane offense. If Warner retires can you imagine the numbers Beck could put up?! Why, he could easily double, maybe even triple his career TD's and yardage. I'm pretty sure the Vikings have had their eye on him just in case Favre retires (again). It may be far too early to say that $7K+ was too much for a Beck Dolphins jersey. This should definitely be revisited in two more years.
Yes, this is supposed to be read in the sarcastic tone for which it was intended.
Smith, Beck both on move?
Troy Smith | Ravens | Interested: Browns?

Back in December, the Baltimore Sun had word that Troy Smith wanted a chance to be a legit NFL starter, and by our calculations, that meant he was subtly angling for a trade or a release. Ralph Cindrich, Smith's agent, then took to Twitter with this: "Ravens QB Troy Smith, Ohio State alum, native Heisman winner wants playing time. Ravens notified. Will seek trade after playoffs, SB run."
Earlier this week, Smith himself said that the Twitter trade demand originated with Cindrich, and he did not make the demand himself, but he also didn't fire Cindrich after the tweet. To us, this means he's on-board with the demand. On Wednesday, Ravens Insider had word from coach John Harbaugh that he expects to get trade offers for both Smith and John Beck, and the team could pull the trigger on trading both.
Back to Cindrich's tweet. Including the bit about his days at Ohio State could mean that the agent is dropping a hint on the Cleveland Browns that they should bring their state's prodigal son home. Smith will turn 26 next July, and his decision-making skills will be the key to determining whether he can be a fit in czar Mike Holmgren's offense, which will presumably be of the West Coast mold.
