The Seahawks have officially released veteran safety Deon Grant the team announced this afternoon. Grant joined the Seahawks back in 2007 when he signed a six-year $31.8 million dollar contract which at the time made Grant the third highest paid safety in the NFL behind the Ravens Ed Reed and the Cowboys Roy Williams.
Grant was a part of that "home run hitting" free agent class that Seattle attempted to bring in which also included defensive end Patrick Kerney, guard Kris Deilman and tight end Daniel Graham. Graham and Deilman rejected offers to come to Seattle and instead chose Denver and San Diego respectively.
Deon Grant was scheduled to make [...]

I am experiencing a rare feeling after an Arizona loss—I am in a great mood. I know, I know, it doesn't make any sense. I just watched my team, whom I lost my voice for while cheering them on today, lose on a two-minute, 99-yard drive by the Titans that will instantly become a part of Vince Young's legacy. So how is that I am not absolutely crushed by this defeat?
It's simple. Arizona played a fantastic game today. So did Tennessee.
In a game neither team deserved to lose, Young guided Tennessee masterfully down the entire length of the field in 18 plays and 2:37 to win by 3 points on the final play of the contest. I am a Cardinals fan, but I am a football fan too, and it doesn't get any better than this. [...]

And there goes Ronnie Brown for a three-yard touchdown run! The Dolphins are up, 20-13. Brown has been looking swell against this Colts' shaky defense right now. Oh, but here comes rookie running back Donald Brown, as he breaks away for a 15-yard touchdown, his first of the season and his career!
With 3:50 left in the game, Dolphins' Dan Carpenter has now hit a 45-yard field goal which may seal the deal for Miami as they lead, 23-20. Here goes the Colts, who have been completely dominated by the Fins in the time of possession and it is right now not looking good, not at all.
Peyton Manning takes the snap, drops back, finds Pierrre Garcon at the screen. And look, here he goes! To the twenty, to the ten, to the five, touchdown Colts! With 3:18 left, I don't think [...]

Preseason Game 3 was supposed to be a time for the first string to gel and play like reigning NFC Champions across the board. Instead it was another sloppy outing for Kurt Warner, and a downright embarrassing one for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Luckily for Arizona Cardinals fans, that is only part of the story in their 44-37 loss to the Green Bay Packers Friday Night.
Offense
Matt Leinart had what may be his best outing as a pro, 24/38, 360 YDS, 3 TD, 1 INT in one half of play. Playing with a command of the offense and accurate passing, Leinart brought the Cardinals back from a 28 point deficit and had the team primed to take the lead on a two point conversion, which was placed perfectly into the hands of Early Doucet, [...]

The following are my first impressions and observations from last night's preseason opener for the Arizona Cardinals.
Due to an ankle injury the highly anticipated debut of top draft pick RB Beanie Wells will have to wait, but Tim Hightower is out to prove he is capable of carrying the load if need be. He came to camp lighter and more explosive, and looked the part last night, running angry and decisively.
I hoped to see free agent acquisition RB Jason Wright make a little noise, but all I witnessed was his jersey number. He is projected to be a special teams stud, but he also has a chance to nail down the third down RB role.
He may have to hold off rookie LaRod Stephens-Howling though. LSH is a small, shifty [...]

With January nearly over, I’m in my busy time of year as far as planning a strategy for 2009 with the team preview reports and overall content for NFLTouchdown.com. So, I’m going to be short and sweet with this.
Here’s my message to America: STOP THE MOCK DRAFTS! This goes for ESPN, CNNSI and every other sports website out there. And it goes for the fans and people reading these mock drafts.
