Brian Moorman was 5th in the league with 48.2 yards per punt last season, though only 20th in net yards per punt with 38.6. Still, one would expect his job to be safe for next season, especially after the Bills did not draft a single punter. However, according to the…

At the end of last season, when the Jets missed the playoffs, it seemed possible they could cut Santonio Holmes, who was a distraction all season with his comments to the media about the locker room and his general attitude. Also, with only 51 catches for 654 yards and 8…

Sidney Rice has only been fully healthy for one of his 5 career seasons, but when he was he caught 83 passes for 1312 yards and 8 touchdowns. However, he’s one of the league most injury prone players. Just this past year, he suffered 3 separate concussions and had 2…

As a linebacker coming out of UCLA, some looked at Akeem Ayers as a potential 3-4 outside linebacker because of his size (6-3 254) and blitzing ability. He ended up in a 4-3 with the Titans and not rushing the passer much at all in 2011, but that sounds like…

Tommie Campbell is not a very big name and he didn’t play much at all last year, which makes sense seeing as he was a mere 7th round pick rookie. However, Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray raised some eyebrows when he called Campbell his team’s 2nd best cornerback, at least…

The league’s most prominent contract negotiations right now are between Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. Brees saved the Saints franchise from mediocrity and a possible move from New Orleans, yet the organization is still playing hardball with the single season passing yards record holder.
