The Eagles have always been tight with a buck, and they showed it once again by shredding more financial fat off the team. This week, the Eagles have released former key players from a few years ago in guard Shawn Andrews, defensive end Darren Howard and receiver Kevin Curtis. Releasing these players will save the team well over ten million dollars for this season and that should help them in signing their ...

The Arizona Cardinals needed to acquire players to help fill the shoes left behind by Antrel Rolle at safety and top defensive player Karlos Dansby at linebacker. To fill the safety position the team netted former Jets' safety Kerry Rhodes early in March. Now, Coach Ken Whisenhunt has reunited with former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter as the two were together when Pittsburgh won their 2005 Super Bowl. No ...

The Seattle Seahawks needed a quarterback of the future, and it looks highly unlikely that Jimmy Clausen or Sam Bradford will fall to them at the draft. Because of this Coach Pete Carroll made a trade for one of the more interesting young backup quarterbacks in the NFL. That quarterback is none other than now former Charger Charlie Whitehurst as he is a Seahawk for at least the next two seasons. This move w ...

The Arizona Cardinals wanted to bring in some type of competition at quarterback to make Matt Leinart earn the job this offseason. Now, we have an answer to the player that will challenge the former USC Hiesman Trophy Winner and first round pick. That player is none other than former Browns' quarterback Derek Anderson as the team signed him via free agency. While one would figure Leinart should be able to b ...

Last year running back Mike Bell did a good job of hurting Pierre Thomas's fantasy value thought the season. Now, Bell is gone from New Orleans and looks to take valuable touches away from second year runner LeSean McCoy. The Eagles signed Bell to a one year contract for 1.7 million dollars, and I would suspect he will play along side McCoy for that kind of money. Not only does McCoy have to deal with Bell ...

The Seahawks and Eagles partook in a trade as they both swapped defensive lineman. The Eagles gave away defensive end Chris Clemons for Seattle's Darryl Tapp. Both players have had their share of success in the NFL and the Eagles are hoping Tapp will fit into their defensive system better than Clemons. Used as a rotational pass rusher, the Eagles are hopefully they can get the 25 year old Tapp back to perfo ...

Just yesterday I wrote a piece about Bruce Gradkowski and JaMarcus Russell. Since Russell hadn't reported to the Raiders voluntary workout and Gradkowski had signed a new contract, I was ready to stick a fork in Russell's career. Now, news today is out that Russell only missed the start of voluntary offseason workouts because of personal reasons, and he is supposed to be in very good shape. It's going to ta ...

The Cincinnati Bengals are looking for a tight end at this years' draft that has a strong ability to block and stretch the field in the passing game. Many teams in the NFL are looking for a tight end that can do just that but the problem is most tight ends have trouble doing both. Jermaine Gresham, Aaron Hernandez, Dorin Dickerson and Dennis Pitta are all good in the passing game but have question marks whe ...

Bruce Gradkowski's chances of being the Oakland Raiders starting quarterback looked good heading into this offseason. However, for Gradkowski to win the job, he would first need to sign a new deal and JaMarcus Russell would have to stay rutted in his old ways. Today we got a big message for both players as Gradkowski signed a 1.76 million dollar, one year contract with the Raiders and showed up to the first ...

USC tailback Joe McKnight had his ups and downs in 2009, but he should be a serviceable running back in the NFL. McKnight is projected to be a mid round pick at this years' draft and will be a backup running back on the team he ends up on. Teams like the San Francisco 49ers will probably be interested in McKnight for his abilities in the kick and punt return game. The 49ers had a horrible time finding a pla ...
