Green Bay Packers Trying Mike Neal at Outside Linebacker
If there is one thing Mike Neal has proven he can do for the Green Bay Packers defense, it’s rush the passer. Now, the Packers may be trying to maximize that ability because on the first day of organized team activities, the fourth-year defender from Purdue was moved from his customary defensive end position to outside linebacker.
Remembering that it is only OTA’s — the move...
Arizona Cardinals: Bruce Arians Likes What He Sees in Carson Palmer
The chemistry between a head coach and quarterback is very important in the NFL. As we all know, the Arizona Cardinals have a new head coach in Bruce Arians and a new starting quarterback in veteran Carson Palmer.

Seattle Seahawks Waive QB Josh Portis
Sometimes in the NFL, you can get a pass, but that’s only if you are a star or a player with tremendous upside. Josh Portis has neither of those things.

This move likely solidifies that Brady Quinn is entrenched...

3.04 Oakland Raiders Sio Moore, OLB, Connecticut (6-1, 245)
With the 4th pick of the third round of the NFL draft, the Raiders selected OLB Sio Moore out of the University of Connecticut. This pick represents great mid-round value for Oakland as Moore excelled at the combine and pro day, which should help bolster the depth in the Raiders’ linebacking corp.

Cleveland Browns TE Jordan Cameron Could Be a Top-10 Fantasy Option in 2013
Talk about skyrocketing value. Jordan Cameron’s ADP and trade value have ballooned over the last few weeks. He’s gone from a player commonly ranked around the 20th to 25th tight end to a guy comfortably slated in the 10th to 15th range. The rise is mostly due to recent comments from the Browns’ coaching staff that have led fantasy owners to speculate about Cameron’s ceiling...

After a below average year on special teams in 2012, the Raiders acknowledged the issue this offseason.
