Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams trade OT Jason Smith to the New York Jets for OT Wayne Hunter
The Jets and Rams are essentially swapping terrible right tackles in this deal. Smith is the better of the two, but the former 2nd overall pick has only played in 28 games in 3 seasons and only played in more than 7 games once, starting 15 games in 2010. In…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins trade CB Kevin Barnes to the Detroit Lions
Trade for Lions: Wow. The Lions must have been really desperate for defensive back help to trade for Kevin Barnes. I know they didn’t give up much, but Barnes might have been a final cut next week. If they wanted him, all they really had to do was wait and…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots extend TE Aaron Hernandez
I liked the Patriots’ extension of Rob Gronkowski because I feel the value of the tight end position is going to go up in the next 2 years, between now and when Gronkowski would have been a free agent in 2014. I’m not so sure about this deal. Gronkowski’s was…

Continue reading →: The curious case of the Tennessee Titans’ offense
The Tennessee Titans have had a very middle of the pack offense in each of the last 2 seasons, ranking 17th by scoring 22.3 points per game in 2010, and 21th by scoring 20.3 points per game in 2011. However, they have the potential to be a top-10 offense in…

It’s the preseason. It’s important not to get too excited or too worried about anything that happens in the preseason. Starters rarely play into the 2nd half and game plans are as vanilla as they come on both sides of the ball. Countless players don’t play for precautionary reasons with…

Trade for Seattle: There was just no room in Seattle for Jackson. Russell Wilson had an impressive offseason to win the starting quarterback job as a 3rd round pick rookie, while Matt Flynn basically won the backup quarterback job by virtue of his fully guaranteed 8 million dollar salary in…

The Dallas Cowboys took a chance on Dez Bryant in the 1st round, 24th overall, in 2010. Bryant was a top-10 talent who fell for character reasons and the results have been mixed. Bryant has had several off the field controversies, including one arrest for domestic abuse of his mother…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks cut Terrell Owens
The Seahawks cut TO today in one of the least surprising moves of the offseason. When they signed TO earlier this month, I said he would either struggle this season or get cut and added that the best way this could end for the Seahawks would be if TO got…

Trade for Colts: Ah, so this was the big trade Jim Irsay was tweeting about. Davis was one of the potential candidates I mentioned when I wrote on the subject a few days ago, along with Denver’s Ryan Clady and Baltimore’s Cary Williams. The Colts are taking a big risk…

Continue reading →: Seahawks expected to name Russell Wilson starting quarterback
No official announcement has been made, but that’s just how Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll operates. However, after a strong performance in his 1st preseason start, Russell Wilson is expected to be the week 1 starter for the Seahawks at quarterback. Wilson impressed against opposing teams’ backups in the Seahawks’…
