I have not been avoiding the topic of Terrell Owens possibly becoming a Cincinnati Bengal. I simply have not had time to offer my thoughts on whether or not he could be a productive addition to the offense. For or against the acquisition, media members and bloggers have formed very strong opinions on the subject.
Owens' track record of being a horrible teammate is well documented. His stops in San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas were all filled with drama. He has always come off as a player with outstanding ability from the neck down and nothing from the neck up. His selfish attitude has alienated teammates and fans.
I also think the Bengals should sign him.
Why, you ask?
The Bengals need a wide receiver.
Last season, it was obvious that Chad [...]

The Chicago Bears have officially made the biggest moves in free agency they basically had no choice. They wee forced to add big time players because this could be the last year with this coaching staff and they don’t have a draft pick until the third round.
Julius Peppers is an instant upgrade at DE. Put him on the defensive line with Tommie Harris, Alex Brown and Mark Anderson and this line could be the best since their Super Bowl season. Also consider Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher and [...]

The Bears added a tight end today. His name is Brandon Manumaleuna he almost immediately signed a five-year deal after he walked through the doors of Halas Hall. Manumaleuna spent the last four years in San Diego and before that was with Mike Martz and Lovie Smith in St. Louis. The 30 year old tight end was the best available tight end and Martz values the tight end as a blocker more than a receiver.
With the addition of Manumaleuna he can now team [...]

Greg Olsen was supposedly Jay Cutler’s go to guy and they had clicked from day one of training camp, but last season Olsen didn’t play up to the level people thought he could have.
Fast forward to this off-season and the Bears have already made a lot of changes. They hired a new offensive line coach, offensive coordinator, promoted Rod Marinelli to defensive coordinator, released over the hill lineman Orlando Pace and they are said to be interested in Julius Peppers once free agency starts this Friday.
The new offensive coordinator Mike Martz replaced Ron Turner, who [...]

Frank Omiyale can play left guard and right tackle and he is expected to be a starter at one of those positions this season. Omiyale also known as “The Tank”, a reference to Old School a movie with Will Ferrell has to be pretty good in order for this style of up tempo offense to work.
Lovie Smith talked about what his plan with Omiyale would be:
“We’re going to lock Frank in at one position, whatever position that ends up being.”
“He can play the left guard position. He can play the right tackle position. I think it’s safe to say that Frank will be at one of those positions for us and [...]

Neil Hayes of the Chicago Sun-Times believes that Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall will end up as a Bear in 2010. We all heard this rumor last season once Jay Cutler was traded and head coach Josh McDaniels and Brandon Marshall bickered back and forth.
Obviously, Brandon Marshall would be a great fit in Chicago’s new style of offense with Mike Martz running the show. According to Neil Hayes of the [...]

We all know Brian Westbrook has been one of the most versatile running backs in the NFL in his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, but now his time with them is over and he is looking for a new team.
The eight year back missed eight games last season with an ankle injury and multiple concussions. The Eagles owed him $7.25 million this season and they simply didn’t want to give him [...]

This may be insignificant news but the Bears brought back undrafted wide reciever Eric Peterman on a one year deal. They signed him out of Northwestern after the draft and he was released before the season started. They also signed big 6′8″ tight end Richard Angulo, who has played 28 games for the St. Louis Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings in his short career.
I think these are solid moves considering the Bears wide receivers are already young and Mike Martz likes to use a lot of them at a time. Peterman is a [...]

Arizona Cardinals free safety Antrell Rolle is owed a roster bonus of four million dollars and it’s rumored that Arizona doesn’t want to pay it.
The Cardinals already made strong safety Adrian Wilson the highest paid player at his position and now they have to make decisions on LB Karlos Dansby, DT Darnell Dockett and WR Anquan [...]

The 2010 off-season has officially begun. Teams have the ability to use the franchise and transition tags on players while they try to re-sign others. The franchise tag period started on February 8th and ends on February 22nd. With less than 2 weeks left to use the franchise tag, and prevent star players from going into free-agency, teams will be frantically trying to re-sign stars before the 22nd, if agreements aren't reached, they must make a decision on the tag. I am wondering, what will the Oakland Raiders do this off-season?
There are a few ways to try to re-build a team: trades, the draft and free agents. So, what will Al Davis do in 2010? I have been searching for a pattern from recent off-seasons but there is none. I will discuss how all the [...]
