The more off season deals the Cleveland Browns make, what positions they will target in the draft becomes clearer. Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert have been very busy the last few weeks making several deals addressing the team's needs.
With the addition of new quarterbacks Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme, Cleveland is probably going to draft a QB. Neither Wallace or Delhomme can be viewed as the franchise QB Holmgren is looking for. Sam Bradford is someone Holmgren has openly said he likes a lot. He will not be there when the Browns pick at number seven. If they don't trade up then I look [...]

Nobody likes being No. 2.
But when it comes to being drafted to an NFL team, being No. 2 isn't all that bad. The entire county focuses on No. 1 draft picks and free agents at this time of year. However, I am sure there a few hundred college football players busting their ass just to be someone's No 2.
In looking at the NY Giants draft history, one could say that the Giants' second-round picks over the last 15 years have gone on to become perennial pro bowlers. A few familiar faces have gone on to become the face of this historical franchise.
The names are impressive: [...]

Shocked?
Surprised?
Don't be.
I will say this many times, even though it seems like an oxymoron: the Arizona Cardinals know what they're doing now.
These aren't your Daddy's fumblin', bumblin' losers. The Cardinals of the last three years have turned into a respectable team in the NFC. Teams don't look at their schedule and mark a "W" next to Arizona anymore.
With that being said, our offseason has been busy. There's been a lot of bad things that have happened:
1. Anquan Boldin: Traded to the Ravens.
2. Antrel Rolle: Gone. Signed with the Giants.
3. Karlos Dansby: [...]

Mock drafts are silly guesses that mean absolutely nothing.
As college basketball fans watch their NCAA brackets crumble under huge upsets, it only goes to show that even the most well-informed predictions bow humbly to crushing reality.
Yet, eager for the NFL draft to begin I succumb to the meaningless speculations as most true fans do.
The intent is to be informed enough to get excited when management’s decisions coincide with my own desires, while embracing optimism when selections go contrary to my whims.
Fans will not execute the picks for Kansas City on April 22-24, but [...]

Taking a look at Scott Pioli's past, it's no surprise to me that he's already making a splash in free agency. Since the March 5th start date, the Chiefs have made some impressive signings, to say the least.
Since free agency, the Chiefs have signed running back Thomas Jones from the Chiefs, defensive lineman Shaun Smith, and offensive lineman Casey Wiegmann and Ryan Lilja. News like this is likely music to the ears of Chiefs fan, especially with Wiegmann reuniting with his former team. Unfortunately, that's not always the case.
Let's be honest here, Thomas Jones had a career year last [...]

Watched the film on the Super Bowl champions. Here's the early outlook for the 2010 Saints.
Offense
The two who deserve the most credit for New Orleans’s success are the two you’d expect: Sean Payton and Drew Brees. Payton utilized a greater variety of formations [...]

With the draft only 30 days and some loose change away, many are wondering what the Bills are going to do. One of those many is myself.
The Bills are signing free agents at a snail's pace. Without boring you to much, the few things the Bills organization has done really has me wondering. The Bills have a new "big name coach," new GM, no T.O., uncertainty at QB, an over-paid running back, no offensive scheme or offense for that matter, a left guard who retired at the tender age of 24, a defensive end who doesn't know if he wants to retire nor will he let the franchise know, and most [...]

Early in the day Wednesday the Arizona Cardinals came to an agreement with free agent quarterback Derek Anderson on a two-year $7.25 million dollar contract which ended the Cardinals pursuit of restricted free agent quarterback Charlie Whitehurst.
Charlie Whitehurst's decision came down to the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks and Whitehurst informed the Chargers front office [...]

A former shutdown cornerback in the NFL, Nathan Vasher was released today by the Bears. During the 2005-2006 he was nicknamed the “interceptor” because of his eight interceptions that season. Ever since that year Vasher, a fourth round pick in 2004 out of Texas has struggled to stay [...]

Well, March madness has arrived and it's not just basketball this year. This has been a really strange off-season so far. In two weeks time, there has been much to reflect on. Some expected, some just flat out mind numbing. Lets start with some of the things we all saw coming.
Brett Favre hasn't decided if he's going to retire or not. No surprise there. I wouldn't expect his answer to come until August. There is no way he's going to suck it up and go through the OTAs. Even at 40 years old he's still one of the best in the game. Sure, he makes mistakes but last season proved he could limit [...]
