The New York Jets have to make a move with Mark Sanchez and the outcome of their quarterback challenge and they needed to do it yesterday.

TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE
RG3 throwing passes during Redskins OTAs
Maybe Robert Griffin III really is Superman. The Washington Redskins second-year quarterback participated at the team’s OTA’s yesterday, and seemed to be doing pretty well. It wasn’t a difficult workout, as he was just dropping back gently to throw some passes, but it has to be encouraging to see that doctor’s have cleared him for as much work. Of course, doctors also cleared...

Bengals sign RB Giovani Bernard
You've got to love the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement. Gone are the days of rookie holdouts over contracts. Get them signed and get them started with the team program, especially now that training camps have fewer practices and fewer reps available.

Minnesota Viking defensive end Jared Allen said no one from the team’s front office has approached him about restructuring his contract. However, if that were to happen, it better not be a pay cut because Allen wants no part of that at all. The veteran is open to move some money around, but he isn’t going to take less money than what he signed for.

Who will be number 1 on the Eagles’ depth chart? Unfortunately, at this stage we know not.
Ah, a little offseason intrigue. Could a mere Philadelphia Eagles fan, who attended the team’s Academy for Men last weekend, have uncovered perhaps THE biggest bit of information about what Chip Kelly currently thinks about this team and its players abilities?
Very probably not. There has...
