The Denver Broncos now famously went out on a limb when they traded up to select Tim Tebow with the 25th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. However, Tebow's selection also opened up a very interesting quarterback battle on the Broncos' roster including former first round pick Brady Quinn. With the arrival of Tebow, the Broncos now house three quarterbacks with legitimate expectations of playing time at this level. ...
When it comes to draft day, or as was the case in 2010 draft days, there can be a lot of buzz following some teams and seemingly no news from others. Teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars and Denver Broncos take players that were projected to go much later in the draft (Tyson Alualu- JAX 10th pick, Tim Tebow- DEN 25th pick). Every year, however, there are teams that have their ...
Denver Broncos quarterback and former Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn has had one heck of a ride in his NFL career so far and sadly, with the addition of Tim Tebow to the Broncos in the 2010 NFL Draft, Quinn's career just got another unfortunate jolt of how difficult it can be to make it in the NFL. While growing up in a suburb of Columbus, OH, Quinn loved his Browns ...
If an NFL franchise has ever suffered from Stockholm syndrome, it's the Jaguars. This year, the team's "bold" goal is to sell enough season tickets to fill Jacksonville Municipal Stadium's general bowl and avoid TV blackouts—you know, like a real NFL team. The Jaguars' official website features a fuel gauge to measure their progress toward that goal. With just over three months until Jacksonville's first preseason game, it's between half and three-quarters ...

Posted: 3rd May 2010 by Jon Star in NFL
The 2010 NFL Draft is behind us and offseason minicamps are beginning. Teams are filling up their rosters with college free agents and other veterans on the market. However, one big name that has yet to find a home is that of Terrell Owens. The Buffalo Bills decided to pass on resigning Owens after his one-year deal expired, but a team has yet to step in and commit to ...
It’s now official, the Green Bay Packers announced that they did indeed contact Adam Jones, despite the previous legal trouble the former Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys player has been in over the past few years. Legal trouble has not stopped Ted Thompson in the past, as around this time last year the Packers were inquiring on Michael Vick who was fresh out of prison. There was a lot of talk stating ...

"This is the beginning of the work process for me," Bradford said Sunday following the fifth and final practice of the St. Louis Rams three-day rookie minicamp at Rams Park.

New York Jets: No Love From Vegas Bookies

Posted: 3rd May 2010 by Zach Berger in NFL
Even after a dynamic offseason in which "Gang Green" added a number of playmakers to the team, they still get no love from the bookies, getting 12:1 odds to win it all this year. That puts them at seventh overall on the list, sitting behind the Colts (8:1), the Saints (9:1), the Chargers (10:1), the Pats (10:1), and Dallas (11:1). Okay, I understand why the Colts and Saints are favored over the ...

Posted: 2nd May 2010 by Bryan Dietzler in NFL
My family and I attended the 2010 Chicago Bears Fan Expo at Soldier Field this past weekend in what has quickly become a regular family tradition.  I have never gone to an Expo that I haven’t yet liked, but I felt that this year’s expo would be different since it was going on during the 2010 NFL Draft and the coaching staff and upper management would not be in attendance.  ...
