We're now half-way through the long, grueling NFL offseason. There have been an unusual amount of blockbuster trades across the board, and the NFC East was home to one of those trades, as Philadelphia shipped off their franchise quarterback Donovan McNabb to their division rival Washington Redskins.
Plenty of shake-ups have occurred in addition to the intra-division trade, so the outlook for this highly-competitive division is different than last year's ...
Oakland Raiders: “Boys will be Boys” Opens Up a Can of Worms
Posted: 3rd May 2010 by Damali Binta Yael in NFL
It's not uncommon for a Raider Nation member to sneak and look at other team pages just to get a feel for what's going on.
The Oakland Raiders are not in a vacuum, so it makes sense to study the context of their experiences and image not only on BR but in all media.
Snooping around other Bleacher Report team pages can be a lot of fun.
A book was reviewed titled, "boys ...
Now that the draft has been completed, teams are going to be holding mini-camps for their rookies, then OTA's and then we will get in to long days of summer where the real battles will occur to see who will be starting for each team.
Some of these positional battles involve a rookie being drafted to challenge the incumbent, some involved players coming off of injury or off of suspension, while ...
New York Giants’ Offense is Lurking in The Shadows, Ready to Explode
Posted: 3rd May 2010 by Jeff Shull in NFL
The New York Giants, the NFL, and any media outlet spent the entire 2010 offseason talking about how terrible the Giants' defense was in 2009. Justifiably so, considering they suffered a ton of injuries leading to eight losses in 11 games.
What they haven't talked about, however, is the possibility of a top three offense emerging in 2010 and almost certainly one ranked in the top 10.
Before you practically rip the ...
Here are all the pro football transactions involving former members of the Miami Dolphins for the month of April 2010:

AAARGH! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!
Unfortuanately in recent times, the Bucs haven't. Raheem Morris, the worst coach in the history of football, has released Antonio Bryant, Joey Galloway, Phillip Buchanan, Jeff Garcia and most insane of all, Derrick Brooks.
To cheer up some Bucs fans, and to get over these evil times, I have decided to make a little ranking, of the best Buccaneers of all time. Oh yeah, there's ...
The flood that Middle Tennesseans will never forget has now affected the Tennessee Titans as flood waters have been reported to reach the third row of bleachers in LP Field. These flood waters are coming from the Cumberland River, which is still currently rising as we speak and not expected to stop until later tonight. Some high ranking officials within the organization, including Jeff Fisher, aren't too worried ...
Saint Louis Rams’ Team Goal #3: Play the WCO Right or Don’t Play It at All
Posted: 3rd May 2010 by David Leon in NFL
I would like to offer a motion on the Senate floor: The next sports writer who says the Rams run the “West Coast offense” should be crucified upside down, castrated, doused in gasoline, and ignited with a military flame thrower. Perish the thought! Nothing could be further from the truth.
When a sports writer declares that the Rams run the West Coast, one of the following has to be true:
He is ...
NFL Rookie Salaries: Chances the Top Five NFL Draft Picks Hold Out
Posted: 3rd May 2010 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
The draft is history and the real work in the front offices begins. First Round draft picks cost a lot of money, whether they end up earning it or not.
Agents love having first round clients because the guaranteed money is so much better than even some of the veteran contracts.
With a loose salary structure to go by, based off of last year's contract signings and the rookie salary pool, the ...
