The Week 3 matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers can be summed with just one word: “Wow.” That is what Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said after the game in the locker room when he read the stats sheet and saw that Tampa Bay held the Falcons to just 30 rushing yards for the game. It is amazing how quickly a team can fall in the NFL. It...

On the same day that their division rival lost a key player to a torn ACL, the Chargers received the same bad news on one of their starters, as kicker Nate Kaeding will reportedly miss the remainder of the year with a similar injury. Head coach Norv Turner confirmed Kaeding would be out the rest of the season earlier today. Kaeding tore his ACL trying to tackle Vikings wide receiver...

One day removed from one of the worst losses in franchise history, the Chiefs received yet another blow this morning, with the news that safety Eric Berry will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network first broke the story. Berry started all 16 games in his rookie season last year, earning a nod to the Pro Bowl, and giving the Chiefs leadership...

Throughout his career, Titans running back Chris Johnson has delivered big time numbers across the board like the announcer of an online bingo game – fast and furious. But unfortunately for him (and the Titans), his success has led him to hold out this off-season, and the ongoing contract dispute between Johnson and Tennessee has been one of the biggest story lines throughout...

Lions rookie running back Mikel Leshoure’s rookie season with the Lions has ended before it even got a chance to begin. The Associated Press reports that Leshoure will miss the entire 2011 season after tearing his left Achilles tendon in practice on Monday. “There’s no more tests that need to be done. He’ll have surgery very soon,” Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. “He�...

The Raiders didn’t waste much time replacing their pass-catching tight end — who was lost in free agency — with one of similar qualities. According to ESPNNewYork.com, the Raiders and Kevin Boss have agreed to terms on a four year, $16 million contract. The guaranteed money and other specific terms of the deal are not yet available, but Oakland is expected to finalize the signing...

This has been an offseason of big names having a hard time finding work. This is the case with Ronnie Brown. Brown was signed with a base bottom contact for the Philadelphia Eagles. He got a whole $1 million for one seaon to be the backup for LeSean McCoy. Brown was once considered a good fantast option. Where does this sign leave him? Lets be honest. Brown has not had a good game...

Braylon Edwards today signed a 1 year $3.5 million dollar contract with the San Fransisco 49ers. A base bottom contract for a wide reciever who only a few short years ago had 16 touchdown receptions. In fact he is even making less than Mike Sims-Walker is with the St. Louis Rams. So what does this mean for him on your draft day? Edwards is not the same guy he was 4 years ago when...

Looking back on the NFL free agency “gong show,” as my boss at RotoWire likes to call it, I have to admit that I’ve never seen anything like it. I felt like I was watching someone’s little brother play franchise-mode on Madden. Of course, as fans, it made us forget that we had just spent four and a half months wondering if we’d even have a season. In terms of fantasy, this...

One player still on the market that will undoubtedly end up landing somewhere in the very near future is veteran offensive guard Leonard Davis, who was released by the Cowboy last week in a bid to free up cap space for other acquisitions. While interest has been tepid so far, one team that seems to like Davis and has a definite need at his position is the Dolphins. Having his former...

Over the weekend, news broke of the Giants decision to allow Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora to seek out a possible trade, provided it brings back a high round draft pick in return. That compensation was initially rumored to be no lower than a first round pick in next year’s draft, but the latest news seems to point towards New York lowering their price somewhat, with...

One of the things that many rookie head coaches try to do in their first season at the helm is to change the culture established by the previous regime to one they favor instead. And even though Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier is technically a carry over from the last coaching staff, he isn’t any different than other first year head coaches in that regard. Frazier took baby...

One player that has somehow avoided serious discussion this week is defensive end Ray Edwards, who is coming off a solid run in Minnesota, establishing himself as a capable defender against both the run and the pass. That led many to believe he’d be a hot commodity once free agency got started, but after watching most of the big names get locked up with major contracts, Edwards...

The Decision Part II is now complete. And unlike LeBron James, the verdict is a stunner. Choosing to spurn major offers from the league’s largest markets, free agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha has instead decided to take his talents to South Philly, agreeing to a five year, $60 million contract with the Eagles. $25 million of that is guaranteed. Asomugha was billed as the...

In case you missed my appearance on AM1570 the Score’s Home Stretch with Justin Hull yesterday afternoon, I’ve got the podcast available for you to take a listen. Can’t say that I’m the next Vin Scully, but I think I held my own pretty well for being a relative newbie on the airwaves. Justin and I talked at length about the latest news breaking around the...

File this post under the “completely unsubstantiated rumors” category, but it looks as though the Jets may be inching closer to landing the biggest fish of the free agency period in cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, with a major contract in the works. Eric Schmidt at thePigskinReport.com is reporting (via Incarcerated Bob on Twitter) that the Jets and Asomugha have “agreed...

One of the Texans biggest weaknesses is fast becoming a team strength, as Houston has officially paired their signing of cornerback Johnathan Joseph (Bengals) with a deal to bring safety Danieal Manning (Bears) into the fold. Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting the deal is final and will pay Manning $20 million over four years, with $9 million guaranteed. Manning...

Now that the Eagles have sent backup quarterback Kevin Kolb out west to the Cardinals, finding someone to step up into his spot has become paramount, especially given the physical style of play that Michael Vick tends to employ. Enter former Titans quarterback Vince Young, who found himself at odds with his former head coach Jeff Fisher last season and quickly wore out his welcome...

All of that went out the window this evening, as the Texans have reportedly reached an agreement with cornerback Johnathan...
