  Some still believe Robert Meachem has #1 wide receiver upside, even though the former first round pick has never exceeded 45 catches for 722 yards and 9 touchdowns despite playing with one of the best quarterbacks in the league for 4 years. The Chargers seem to be one of…

  The Colts are cutting Peyton Manning and likely not resigning Reggie Wayne and Jeff Saturday because they want to rebuild, and rightfully so. Given that, giving the 31 year old Mathis 4 years, 36 million, with 15 million guaranteed doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Mathis has never…

This Seymour trade keeps getting worse and worse for the Raiders. Not only did they give up a first round pick to get him and give him roughly 12.5 million dollars in 2010 with the franchise tag, now they are giving him 30 more million dollars over the next 2…

  Richard Marshall actually had a great season in 2011. Among cornerbacks who played at least 60% of their team’s snaps, he was 12th in QB rating allowed, allowing a 51.9% completion percentage, 7.3 YPA, 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He’s had a pretty up and down career. He was…
