As many of us football gurus know, when players threaten to hold out then sign their tenders, they occasionally end up playing for a different team the next season. Guard Daryn Colledge is no different. Prior to the draft, the Packers offered Colledge a second round draft tender and according to reports, he was supposedly furious. Colledge came out and denied his frustration saying he was estatic to receive a second round ...

Let me start by saying that I’m writing this with no disrespect to Donovan McNabb and I’m not one of the “haters.” However, I truly believe that Kevin Kolb will have better numbers and a more successful season in Philadelphia than Donovan McNabb will have in Washington. Here’s why: To start, Kevin Kolb is just a more natural passer than Donovan McNabb. In an offensive scheme where throwing ...

Since 1970, there have been 18 quarterbacks taken with the first overall pick of the draft, including five straight from '01-'05. Going back a little farther, to 1936, adds only 9 more - starting with the first quarterback taken first overall, Angelo Bertelli. From that first passer in 1970, Terry Bradshaw, to the last one in 2010, Sam Bradford, these "franchise saviors" have fared farely well. With ...

Even though NFL teams are prohibited from talking specifically about their interest in players under contract with other teams, there is no such rule restricting the media.  Therefore, it's time to examine whether the Miami Dolphins have a significant interest in St. Louis Rams safety O.J. Atogwe. Here is the background on Atogwe. He has reportedly (and expectedly) refused to sign a low $1.226 million tender for this upcoming season.  St. ...

According to league sources, it has been reported that the San Francisco 49ers are negotiating contract talks with their TE Vernon Davis. He is currently pleading for a five year, $40 million contract, with $25 million guaranteed. Yesterday, Davis released this statement through his Twitter account: “We got plenty of time y'all I'll sign an extension soon I'm sure don't worry I'm in 100%." It’s obvious that Davis wants to get this deal done. ...

The New Orleans Saints have reportedly offered Syracuse quarterback Greg Paulus a contract as an undrafted free agent after the former Duke basketball standout impressed the club in workouts. Paulus, who started at quarterback for the Orange last season after being removed from football entirely for four years as he played basketball at Duke, had an up-and-down season, but showed enough promise for the Saints to try him out. This is not ...

Some Oakland Raiders get more exposure than others. Here is a list of players who are on the 2010 roster. Let's get to know a little more about them. The target group for this article are those players from colleges in Louisiana, Texas, and California. Why those three states? No reason but one. Years ago the migration pattern for people looking for opportunities was the following: Folks moved from the farmland and swamp land ...

This next season is make or break time for the Miami Dolphins. They will either prove that they are a team here to stay, or they will sink back into the failure of the Dolphins team three years ago when they only won one game out of 16. When head coach Tony Sparano and other new staff took over two years ago they helped turned the Miami Dolphins organization around. They went ...

First off, I am going to put all of the cards on the table before this article. I would just like to say that I went to the same high school as Brian Cushing. Take that for what it is worth. He graduated a year before me. He played football, and I wrestled. My freshman year, I was on the freshman team, and played a bit sophomore year, but I broke my ...

Atlanta Falcons Atlanta came out strong at the start of free agency, signing the top available cornerback Dunta Robinson. Although other than that, there is not much to get excited about. With the addition of Robinson, Atlanta also sent away two corners, Tye Hill and Chris Houston. During the Draft, Atlanta selected linebacker Sean Weatherspoon out of Missouri with the 19th pick in the first round. That filled their biggest hole, and he should start ...
