The Bills are making moves in free agency, however they are few and far between. Clearly, the Bills organization, being a small franchise, are afraid of what a no cap season will bring.
Buffalo's first signing since free agency began last Friday is OL Cornell Green. Green continues his ten year playing career, most recently the last three years with Raiders, with Buffalo. Green had several visits lined up, but once he [...]

Well, free agency was once again an exciting time for Dolfans. For weeks leading up to free agency, it was speculated that the Dolphins would pursue free agent lineback Karlos Dansby. He is young, fast, athletic, gets sacks, forces fumbles, and snags interceptions. It almost seemed too good to be true. Fans were drooling over him, but of course such a young and talented player would have more than one suitor. It was rumored we would have to outspend big money teams like the Redskins, yet at the end of the day the Phins were the highest bidder, and Dansby is now a Dolphin. This is huge news for the team. The Dolphins became infamous last season for being completely unable to cover tight ends with our LBs. We also had basically zero impact plays from the ILB position [...]

Brandon Marshall is an amazing wide receiver, on the field.
Marshall is coming off seasons of 102, 104 and 101 catches respectively, including back to back Pro Bowl appearances. His 6'4" 230 pound frame gives him the size to dominate opposing defenders, while his speed and hops combine to make him almost indefendable.
Off the field, Marshall's story is full of enough run-ins with the law that not only brings his character into question, it shows he's an absolute liability when not suited up in a jersey and helmet.
A baker's dozen of domestic disputes with girlfriends and fiances shows he thinks he's above the law 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 [...]

In my second installment of my 2010 NFL Mock Draft I received some comments from outspoken Redskins and Lions fans discussing their opinion on my selections of a quarterback and offensive tackle respectively.
Well now that the Senior Bowl has come and gone that has only a very slight effect on the third edition of my mock draft. So with that being said here is the third edition of my 2010 NFL Mock Draft. Click here for my first and [...]

Julius Peppers, a soon to be free agent this off season will be one of if not the most highly touted commodity when free agency officially starts on March 5th.
Today Peppers came out to the media and said he is not willing nor will he sign a long term contract with the Carolina Panthers, which all but makes him an official unrestricted free agent because he has more than six years of NFL experience.
So now starts the bevy of articles flying around about where Julius Peppers should and might sign when March 5th comes around.
The Saints, Eagles, Chiefs, Patriots and about a dozen other teams could be looking at Peppers. One of those [...]

With only four teams in remaining in the playoffs it means one of two things. One, Brett Favre is this much closer to a Super Bowl, but at the same time that much closer to another off season of "am I retired? I don't even know what that word means". Two, it means that free agency is inching closer and closer which starts the best time of the year.
Speculation time.
However with the NFL's collective bargaining agreement still i limbo not to many free agents know their status, in terms of restricted or unrestricted free agents.
One of those lucky free agents to be, Green Bay Packers OLB/DE Aaron Kampman is most likely going to [...]

This is the first in a long series of articles reviewing the Seahawks players of 2009. Did they under perform, over perform or just be average? We kick off the series with the Seahawks biggest free agent acquisition from last off season, wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh.
The Seahawks rewarded the NFL's most consistent wide receiver with a five year $40 million dollar contract with $15 million guaranteed.
With the Seahawks finishing 5-11 in TJ's first season with the team, needless to say it wasn't happy times in Houshmandzadeh-ville. Houshmnadzadeh looked to some fans and reporters like a smaller [...]

This week, President Mike Holmgren and General Manager Tom Heckert have begun evaluating Cleveland's roster. Establishing the strengths and weaknesses of the team. With free agency beginning in a little over a month, the Browns need to form a game plan.
First, Cleveland has to decide which of their own FAs they intend to sign. Rex Hadnot,OL, Mike Furrey, WR, Michael Gaines, TE, Hank Poteat,CB, and Ryan Tucker,OL are all unrestricted free agents. Among the restricted free agents on the Browns are Abe Elam, S, D'Qwell Jackson, ILB, Jerome Harrison, RB, Lawrence Vickers, FB, Brodney Pool, S, Jason Trusnik, OLB, and Greg Estandia, TE.
When looking at the list of available free agents and considering the Browns needs, one player jumps out at me, Antoine [...]
