2012 Senior Bowl: Monday Rumor Mill

By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell

  • The Washington Redskins held a long meeting with Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson on Sunday night. They spent more time with Wilson than a typical player interview, so that could indicate some interest on the Redskins part. Wilson would be a good fit in Mike Shanahan's offense, and he could be targeted on the third day of the 2012 NFL Draft. Wilson's lack of size (5-10, 203), was as advertised. It wouldn't be surprising if Washington acquires a veteran quarterback while developing Wilson to see if he can overcome the lack of height through good grooming and coaching.

  • Sources said the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coaching position has been turned down by six or seven coaches. That includes coaches declining interviews and actual negotiations about the position. Some of the known candidates to say no thanks are Oregon coach Chip Kelly, Texans defensive coordinator Wade Philips, new St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher and new Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin. Sources said they believe the Bucs are interested in interviewing both of the New York Giants coordinators Perry Fewell and Kevin Gilbride.

    One of the issues that Tampa Bay has been having is allegedly they are trying to slash the severance packages of the coaches if they are fired, for assistants and the head coach. The Bucs are trying to save money by making changes there, but it is not sitting well with coaches. Last year there were top college assistants making more money than the Bucs assistant coaches.

  • Many league staff believe the teams that are still searching for head coaches, the Bucs, Colts and Raiders, are hurting themselves with the overall quality of their staff. The longer the search for the head guy, the harder it is to land top assistants.



  • Some scouts have said that Texas A&M wide receiver Jeff Fuller is underrated. He had a down senior year from a concussion, pulled hamstring and turf toe injuries. If he has a good week at Senior Bowl, don't be surprised to hear that his stock is rising up draft boards.

  • The New York Jets have taken a liking to Arizona State wide receiver Gerell Robinson. They probably aren't the only ones, as Robinson had a solid debut practice on Monday.

  • The Bears appear to be doing homework and digging into Ohio State wide receiver Devier Posey. They will meet with Posey on Monday night.

  • Minnesota was said to be ready to offer the defensive coordinator position to Raheem Morris, but he already had accepted a job to coach the defensive backs with the Redskins. Morris was the head coach and defensive coordinator for Tampa Bay the past three seasons.

    Walter, your information on Tony Jefferson is completely false. The coaches have complimented his work ethic and also his leadership qualities. Also, Kenny Vacarro is not by any stretch of the imagination the best safety in the draft. He is a thug and the NFL teams know he will get himself in trouble again

    I would be willing to bet that Charlie Campbell is either a UT fan or UT alum. Kenny Vaccaro is the best safety in the class? Who told you that? Blake Gideon? Do everyone a favor and watch the last 2 Red river games and tell me that is the best safety in the class. Every OU fan I know was sad that he was leaving. We will miss him getting picked on again. BTW your so called two rising defense of players played on one of the worst D's in the Big 12. Think about that for a few min. This so called "article" and website is trash.

    Boo-friggin-hoo about the Seattle DBs.

    Football is a physical mans game. Hit back if you don't like it. Steve Smith was the only WR I saw all year grow a sack and go back at Sherman.

    Seriously, if you are employed in pro football and whining about guys being too rough give your head a shake.

    I think if Andrew Luck's rate of progression ctiunnoes, he'll overtake Jake Locker as the top QB prospect. However, will he leave after this season? Sure, he's draft-eligible, but he'll have had only two years on the field after 2010. At this point, I'm leaning toward his taking a cue from Sam Bradford and Ryan Mallett and returning for his redshirt-junior campaign.

    Dear MIA ,No big deal . We know what's happening . It's all about stinptlig the 9 billion . As you say, it's business. We're talking long term ramifications . Fans are their least concern right now. Personally, I've got no problem with that . I do have a problem with both sides spreading a lot of BS around.Suggestion : Can you get an interview with Whit and find out what's happening with team conditioning ? Also, can you tell us what you hear on Andre Smith ? RE: upgrades to the OL Get Mankins . Don't expect you to comment.
