What I already assumed, after the 49ers used a 2nd round pick on LaMichael James and signed Brandon Jacobs in the offseason, was confirmed today by 49ers running back coach Tom Rathman. Rathman admitted that one running back would not carry the load for the 49ers this year, which makes…

Santonio Holmes ended last season on a negative note and there was some talk that the Jets could cut him to avoid all of the headaches he causes after a down season in which he caught just 51 passes for 624 yards and 8 touchdowns. The Jets kept him and…

Earlier in the day, there was what looked like a false alarm involving Chad Ochocinco’s release from the Patriots. Ochocinco left OTAs after 10-15 minutes and removed all affiliation to the Patriots from his Twitter bio. However, it was then reported that Ochocinco left because he had an eye appointment.…

Mike Goodson didn’t get a carry last season, but he has some experience and he’s still young, so the Raiders traded a reserve offensive lineman to get him from the Carolina Panthers. Now he is getting the bulk of the 1st team reps in OTAs at running back. This is…

Ty Warren has missed the entirety of the last 2 seasons with two separate injuries so there was no chance he was seeing the 4 million he was owed this season. After taking a while to decide, Warren has agreed to restructure his deal, in exchange for not being cut.…

A 2nd round pick in 2011, Stefen Wisniewski didn’t have the best rookie year for the Oakland Raiders in 2011, but he had an excuse. According to a report by the Oakland Tribune this season, Wisniewski played the entirety of last season with a torn labrum. Moving to his natural…
