Continue reading →: Lions trying to trade for running back

RB Maurice Jones Drew DOWN Maurice Jones-Drew has yet to report and says he’d “welcome a trade,” though he also said he’d prefer to stay in Jacksonville. The Jaguars have announced that Rashad Jennings will start week 1 regardless as MJD will take some time to get back into top…

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…

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…
