Sav Rocca continues to break records as the Eagles' punter, but that's more a testament to the lack of talent at the position throughout the team's history than it is to Rocca's play. Outside of Sean Landeta, the Eagles haven't exactly had notable punters like, say, the Oakland Raiders. And now, after a shaky 2009 season, the Eagles are trying as hard as they can to see to it ...

Sure, Sharper is a great player, future Hall of Famer, great in the locker room, and is currently unemployed. Seems like all the reason to get him to sign the dotted line. Right? Well, yes. But the Detroit Lions should consider signing Sharper for another reason. Darren Sharper has made a career killing the Lions, more than any other player, with the exception of a man named Favre. Even when Sharper finally ...

Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli wasn't joking when he said that his club was going to go after some high profile playmakers in this year's version of the NFL draft. It would appear that Pioli and his staff hit a home run with the second-round pick of Ole Miss RB/WR Dexter McCluster. McCluster amassed nearly 2,000 yards on the ground while picking up just over 1,700 receiving yards ...

The reality is that in 2010 the New Orleans Saints were not in the market for a top-10 level draft talent. And I don't know how many times I havet to say it, but I'll say it again, that's a good thing! That being said, I thought the Saints did a great job of targeting certain players in each round of the draft that they thought could help the team this ...

For NFL fans, the anticipation months are approaching. Most find themselves trying to pass the time with new hobbies and work, masking a slow build-up of excitement until August arrives and familiar Monday Night Football jingles begin to stream forth from the air waves. But for coaches, this is the most active time of year. Now that the 2010 NFL draft has come and gone, and teams have a pretty concrete idea on ...

On an abysmal Tuesday of drubbings in the Phoenix sports world (12-1 loss by the Diamondbacks and 6-1 elimination of the Coyotes from the playoffs), the Arizona Cardinals quietly staged a minor coup d'etat, brightening my day. They signed veteran offensive lineman Alan Faneca to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. This was the sort of thing that I never experienced growing up a Cardinals fan. No good AND still productive player ever ...

JaMarcus Russell was given a gift from the football gods, but he politely declined. Not everybody is awarded a 6' 6", 260 frame, with an arm that belongs in NASA. But JaMarcus Russell was not everybody. He was special, special enough to be chosen first overall in the 2007 NFL Draft. He was special enough to be chosen before Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Patrick Willis, Darrelle Revis, and Jon Beason ...

Earlier today, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post Dispatch reported that Alex Barron intends to sign his tender from the Rams.  Barron is a restricted free agent, and restricted free agents cannot be traded unless they are under contract, or have signed their tenders. Barron is described as "enigmatic" by Thomas.  This 27-year-old offensive tackle from Florida State was picked No. 19 in the first round of the 2005 NFL ...

The 2010 NFL Draft is a thing of the past now, and the Cleveland Browns have OTA's followed by rookie camp in May and June. Then players have approximately two months off before coming back to begin training camp in August. Even though it may be a bit early for 2010 season predictions, the following are 10 bold Browns predictions post-NFL Draft.Begin Slideshow

You're probably saying: Who? Lance Laury? Never heard of him. He's an inside linebacker the Jets signed from Seattle whose strength is on special teams. So why is this such a great move? Well, consider this. One of the Jets' greatest strengths is their inside linebackers. But who backs them up? Yeah, I thought so. If either goes down, the Jets are in trouble. Lance Laury can bring some stability to their ...
