The Cincinnati Bengals opened their first voluntary OTA (organized team activitiy) today. The first of twelve the team will host this season. There were two pretty big names that didn't show up. TJ Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson both decided to skip out. Let's take a quick look at both.

NFL 2008 Power Ranker: Based on the draft, performance down the stretch, past records, and schedule. 1. Indianapolis Colts: Consistently elite, with Peyton, Wayne, Harrison, and Gonzalez the passing attack is still the best of the best, maybe some inter division competition from the Jags   more...

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports Anquan Boldin has requested a trade.The Cardinals have reportedly informed Boldin that they will not deal him, but as always a team like Dallas, Washington, or Philadelphia might blow them away with a draft-day offer.

I feel your pain fellow Eagles fans. I was there when they read that the Eagles had traded away (for a second year in a row) their first round selection. I thought to myself for a moment…Perhaps for that number one receiver that we have all been searching for? But no….it wasn't to be. [ sigh ]We   more...

You guys know I don't ever say something unless I truley believe it... I've never been for the WR rumors before the draft but read on....Hmmm is Philadelphia the only city that realizes that our All-Pro CB Lito Sheppard is still an Eagle? I mean you can't find info anywhere about this. After long   more...

Man this dude really wants out. I don't see why or how Cinci would keep him. He really, really, wants out. I guess the next step is doing sit ups on the porch and the "next question" interview by Drew. I hope Cinci wise's up soon and gives Andy a call. Lito for Chad straight up. Maybe the birds   more...

Let's pretend for a moment that he becomes an Eagle. As a fan, do you want him on the team? I'm excited by the mere possibility, but I can't help but remember Mr. Owens working out on his front lawn, flaming T.O. scarecrows in the Linc parking lot, and the general nightmare that became of that   more...

I mean, maybe I'm the ONLY one here, but I'm tired of hearing a million and one rumors about the Eagles getting a #1 STUD WR.All yous are doing are creating rumors, getting ur hopes up, and getting pissed off when it doesnt happen.Would I LOVE for the Birds to land Boldin/Fitz/Roy/Ocho Cinco? YES   more...

Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals has made every move possible to get himself traded to another team. The Oakland Raiders under Al Davis are known for taking the malcontents and giving them another chance allowing them to succeed.

The draft is over but many personnel issues remain on the table for a number of teams and players. There are trades that didn't happen but still might. There may be some scary holes that still need to be repaired. Drafting decisions have shed some new light on just how some franchises view the   more...

I want to say first and foremost that I think a lot of people down the front office way to soon sometimes. 1) we booed when they selected McNabb and yes we didn't think he would be like he has. 2) We knock on them all the time of their horrible draft choices, however in 2002 we drafted in this   more...

Chad Johnson demanded a trade yesterday, claiming he doesn't "intend on reporting to anything."I don't think it's a coincidence that Johnson's demand came a day after widely reported news about what the Eagles are planning on doing with Lito Sheppard.A friend of mine claimed that there's no way the   more...

The New Orleans Saints and their second-round pick (No. 40 overall) in this weekend's draft have long been linked to the Giants and their double-fisted Super Bowl suite drinker Jeremy Shocker.But now the Saints and that same second-round pick are linked to the Eagles and their obsolete cornerback   more...
