Below we have our full podcast (runs about an hour) as we touch on various teams and players. Below I have a quick breakdown write up for the various sections of the podcast and will have a link taking to ...

Deeper into free agency we go, as free agents are ready to sign new deals as the lockout has come to pass. In part, one of my free agent trackers, I covered the notable signings and trades from Tuesday through Thursday. As I write this, teams now have the ability to sign their agreed contracts, and it looks like they will be able to finalize trades starting Saturday. While Nnamdi Asomugha was projected to b ...

The craziness is only getting warmed up but by Tuesday night, we saw a bunch of key players either sign or agree to terms on a new contract. Some players like offensive lineman Doug Free signed new deals with their former teams, while others like prized middle linebacker Paul Poszlusny has reportedly agreed with the Jaguars. While many of the free agent updates below are yet to be finalized until Friday, we ...

The Baltimore Ravens were expected to make some cuts this week as they had to weave their way under the new salary cap, but they were only a few million over, and it seemed all they needed to do was release Willis McGahee to get that done. Baltimore did, in fact, inform McGahee he would be release today, but they also parted ways with longtime veterans like defensive tackle Kelly Gregg, wide receiver Derric ...

For the second off-season in a row, IDP fantasy owners are faced with an interesting situation as to which linemen is worth having after Justin Tuck. On the other side of the line, you have three talented individuals in Osi Umenyiora, Mathias Kiwanuka and Jason Pierre-Paul. It would seem that JPP would be the least likely to get a starting gig but with Umenyiora looking like a possible holdout, this could w ...

I really don't care if you're involved in a heavy big play scoring as his tackle numbers (and health concerns) just aren't high enough to justify hi ...

[highlight bgcolor="#33FF33"]CLICK HERE FOR OUR CURRENT FANTASY DRAFT INFORMATION[/highlight] While I have my issues with James Laurinaitis's fantasy value around the web and in this ADP listing, I can't deny that he has the potential to be a top ten linebacker for IDP fantasy football leagues. Furthermore, for the most part, the ADP values below, brought to you from My Fantasy League, are a decent look at ...

[highlight bgcolor="#33FF33"]CLICK HERE FOR OUR CURRENT FANTASY DRAFT INFORMATION[/highlight] If you're looking to play in an auction fantasy football league, ESPN has a free mock draft lobby to help you get ready for your live draft. Over the years, I found that you tend to see the same trends or personalities in many of these draft rooms. You always seem to have an owners who wants to stretch his cap out ...

[highlight bgcolor="#33FF33"]CLICK HERE FOR OUR CURRENT FANTASY DRAFT INFORMATION[/highlight] With DeAngelo Williams set to hit free agency, it looks like Jonathan Stewart will finally get the starting job for the Panthers to begin the year.
