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.

    Your rumor on T. Jefferon is false and confirmed by TJ himself here...

    You could also say that Geno Smith was a big winner as well.

    It sounds like Lane Johnson did well enough to be taken at #11 by Chargers if Eric Fisher is off the board.

    I meant to say surprised his stock wasnt down, in regards to Glennon. All of the North quarterbacks stunk, IMO

    I thought Baccari Rambo had a good game.

    Also, Mike Glennon did not impress me at all. Surprised his stock listed as down by you. He made a lot of awful throws to wide-open receivers.

    What do you think about Leon Mcfadden. I spent the last week watching footage of CB's(And RB's) and came away impressed with him. I kind of feel he could be the Casey Hayward of this coming draft. He isn't huge but makes up for it with aggressiveness(Still has good size and is well built). Has good ball skills and instincts.

    Was him not playing in the game the reason his stock wasn't rising.

    Who in the world said Landry Jones improved his stock. If they did how could you possibly agree with that. It doesn't take a professional scout to see he had a bad week and just a horrible game overall. Don't believe everything you read or thought you read(No1 said he improved his stock over this week)

    I can't comprehend how you could call some1 ignorant as you comment about something you have no clue about. The Human race has yet amazed me again.

    Where is Stephan Taylor? He looked damn good towards the end of the game.
