A 2nd round pick in 2010, the Buccaneers’ Brian Price has been a bit of a disappointment with injury, weight, and attitude issues in 2 years. He’s yet to lock down a starting job at defensive tackle and he was benched permanently late last season after a penalty. Now it…

Earlier this week Drew Brees called the negotiations between him and the New Orleans Saints “extremely frustrating,” a very understandable sentiment because of how much Brees has done for the organization and the city of New Orleans. Some Saints fans are getting restless with the negotiations and feel they should…

The Browns’ offense might have been the most devoid of playmakers of any team in the league last year. They changed that this offseason by adding one of the draft’s most dynamic playmakers, Trent Richardson, and upgrading their starting quarterback from Colt McCoy to Brandon Weeden. If you ask the…

A big sticking point of the lockout dispute last offseason was about offseason practices. The players got what they wanted, fewer mandated offseason practices, but it appears it’s backfired in their faces at least for Terrell Suggs and Jason Peters. With fewer mandated practices, players have to stay in shape…

Broncos guard Chris Kuper broke his leg week 17 and missed the Broncos’ two playoff games. When he got hurt, he was given a 4-6 month recovery and he seems to be right on track. Once considered a possible candidate for the PUP, Kuper could be ready for June minicamp,…

Wes Welker made news this past week for saying he wouldn’t hold out into the season, signing his franchise tender, and then complaining that talks between him and the Patriots had gotten worse. Then he made news because of a report that said the Patriots were mad that he was…

Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson skipped voluntary conditioning sessions this week. The conditioning sessions are, as their name says, voluntary and players do frequently skip them to train on their own. However, this is newsworthy because Jackson is in a tight competition to not only retain his starting job, but to…

Tim Jennings was a starter at cornerback for the Bears last season opposite Charles Tillman, but the Bears brought in several cornerbacks this offseason, 2 in free agency in Kelvin Hayden and Jonathan Wilhite, and two through the draft in Isaiah Frey and Greg McCoy. Nonetheless, it sounds like Jennings…

In the 2012 NFL Draft, the Cowboys gave up a 2nd round pick to jump 8 spots to #6 and grab Morris Claiborne, in spite of the fact that he had wrist surgery. Earlier this week, reports said that Claiborne would probably be healthy for the Cowboys June minicamp, but…
