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 [...]

This isn't Pete Carroll's first go around as an NFL head coach but it is his first off season as a NFL head coach AND executive vice president. Not only is Carroll the EVP and head coach but if there is a discrepancy between Carroll and new general manager John Schneider, Pete Carroll would win the coin flip 100 percent of the time.
According to Seahawks CEO Tod Leiweke the team will be built around both Carroll and Schneider but should their be a discrepancy about a trade/signing/draft pick Carroll would be awarded his decision because the team is going to be built around Carroll's philosophy.
Now as [...]

As the free agency deadline nears the major movement in the NFL has come from the running back position this past week with five running backs being let go or non tendered to free agency.
San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson, Philadelphia's Brian Westbrook, Cleveland's Jamal Lewis, San Diego's Darren Sproles and New Orleans' Mike Bell. Also New York Jets running back Thomas Jones will be released next week so he will be added to the list when that becomes official.
Terrell Owens was informed by the Buffalo Bills Saturday that the 36 year old wide receiver would not be back with the organization in 2010 making him a free agent.

Is a "change of pace" backfield overrated?
Not in today's NFL. Some say "running back by committee." I say offensive game plan by design! The NY Giants are in company with San Diego, Minnesota, Tennessee, the New York Jets, the Ravens, and the Miami Dolphins to name a few teams that rotate very good backs.
But what happens when the staple of your franchise hits the skids? That's what happened during the 2009 football season for the New York Giants. There once powerful running game turned up a bit lame. Could it be injuries or the O-line wear n' tear? Only the football gods may know the truth; however, do the Giants have what it takes to run inside and outside the tackles? I am not convinced that Jacobs and Bradshaw are the right mix for success in 2010.

Why do I get this sudden feeling like no one cares? Maybe its because they probably don't, and I can't say I blame them, at all.
On monday, the Chiefs released the former Pro Bowl back, who was just 75 yards short of breaking Priest Holmes team record for rushing yards. Johnson found himself in the doghouse yet again after his recent debacle with the media, where Johnson publically threw out several homosexual slurs towards head coach Todd Haley. Johnson, since joining the Chiefs, has been arrested four times, and twice been suspended by the team for his detrimental conduct.
My first thoughts are thus, why did they even put up with him for so long? Johnson had two good years(the second which many fans say Edwards "destroyed" by having Johnson run as much as he did) and other than [...]
