As ifthe injury-riddled Chris Perry, Kenny Irons and Rudi Johnson weren't enough for Cincinnati to contend with last season, Bengals.com is reporting that the recently-released Shaun Alexander could be visiting the town of three rivers early next week. Alexander's ethical and spiritual behavior is well-documented, so this could be why some are deaming this move a "bad fit." Other reasons may be

Last season, the Miami Dolphins chose Ohio State's Ted Ginn Jr. over would-be starting quarterback Brady Quinn out of Notre Dame. A surprising move at the time, the Dolphins apparently had a plan in place as they selected John Beck in the second round. This selection, or lack of, likely had something to do with the fact that the 'Phins will be choosing first overall this coming draft. With

When looking at what teams have done in the off-season, one team that hasn't done much to get better is the Pittsburgh Steelers. While I thought that Tomlin and Company would want to capitalize on a career year by their quarterback, you can't deny that the black and gold have lost more than they have gained. And as of today, they've lost one more after releasing wide receiver Cedrick Wilson.

It looks like the New Orleans Saints and keeper-league fantasy owners will have something to look forward to this season: Reggie Bush will focus on football this year. This will all come conveniently after a sub-par sophomore season that saw the former second-overall selection get the first crack at carries following the knee injury to teammate Deuce McAllister. Bush didn't respond well to the

The NFL Free Agency period is off and running. I could attempt to recap what went down this past weekend, but a quick Google search or a trip to NFL.com can give you all of the details. But with that said, one deal has stuck out so far: That involving defensive tackle Shaun Rodgers. You see, Rodgers was supposedly all but packed for his relocation to Cincinnati, but the NFL had other ideas. The

While much of the talks regarding the NFL this week will be regarding the NFL combine and current free agents, running back Darren McFadden may impact both. Word on the street is that he's torching the 40-yard dash, which is helping his assent on draft boards. Enough to have the Cowboys get rid of both of their free agent backs? Only time will tell. But while McFadden's physical skills are

Everyone's favorite father of nine may have an even more difficult time paying his child support payments this season as he'll be making $6 million less in guaranteed money. Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry has reportedly agreed to a restructured deal that will keep him in the Mile High city for at least another year. Though Henry started off strong, last year is considered to be of the

Trent Green may want to pay attention to this one, as it appears that (former?) Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas is looking for a long-term contract to reward his 12 years of hard work in the NFL. And when you're an aging linebacker in search of a deal, where better to look than New England? A graduated Junior Seau found home on the East Coast, and Tedy Bruschi is no spring chicken.

News out of the Boston area appears to show that the National Football League will be have a few more fines to issue out next season. Perhaps not wanting his lasting impression to be allowing David Tyree to make one of the greatest catches of all time, Patriots strong safety Rodney Harrison will likely return for the 2008 slate. The 35-year old defensive back hinted in the Boston Herald that he

It's that time of the week again. A crisp 30-something degrees outside in Cleveland with nary a football game to watch. And I guess I have to count that whole Pro Bowl game as something to watch for tomorrow as there are a handful of my Browns "representing" the AFC. But until then, check out some of these places in the meantime... - Someone obviously isn't as excited to watch the Browns in

As I mentioned yesterday, the if the New York Giants really wanted to keep Steve Spagnuolo from heading to his third NFC East team in the Washington Redskins, they would need to get ahead of the curve a la the Cleveland Browns. Before the Redskins' Dan Snyder could even muster up a possible offer, it seems like that is exactly what the Giants did. Per the New York Daily News: After a trip down

If you have ever visited any of the key NFC East blogs (i.e. The 700 Level, Mr. Irrelevant), you're likely aware of the disdain that these fans have for the other three teams within their division. In fact, even when they are happy for the other team, they still find a way to crowbar in a little backhand or two. All of us football fans do it, it’s in our blood. Which is why this piece from the

Over the last several months of the steroids-in-baseball talk, many wondered when Washington D.C. would start to sniff around the NFL. Well, it appears that a few of our Government's finest have began to ask some poignant questions to the league's commissioner Roger Goodell. Oh, no. Not about steroids. Don't be absurd. About the tapes that he allegedly destroyed after the whole debacle

While MJD continues to have more fun in Arizona than the millions of us bloggers who are stuck in our real jobs, his post regarding Derek Anderson got me thinking. DA showed up in his own, self-scripted bowling shirt and promptly whooped the Yahoo! blogger 60-45. Anderson admitted to owning a version of the "Horse Balls" shirt that is in proper homage to the former Oregon State quarterback.

If you have no rooting interest in this weekend's Super Bowl - aside from hoping for one of the biggest upsets in NFL history - there are fewer things better than the proposition bets. Longest carry? Over/under for pass completions? Bodoglife.com has it all. I did a pretty not-so-quick breakdown of some of the better bets over at WaitingForNextYear. If gambling is your thing, if it were

Though it had only been spoken in rumor form since the 2007 season came to an end, the Cleveland Plain Dealer has officially reported that the Cleveland Browns have awarded Romeo Crennel with a two-year contract extension, keeping him with the team through 2011. The deal is said to be in the range of $4 million. This signing comes not even a month after the Browns offered a two-year extension

There is no hiding the fact that the media ascention on Arizona will hit the ground running. Going into this week's big game, radio host Howard Stern managed to haul in Junior Seau, the veteran linebacker from the New England Patriots.

All in a season's work, Derek Anderson stepped into the starting quarterback position half way through an opening week debacle against the Pittsburgh Steelers and never looked back. 3,800 yards and 29 touchdown passes later, the restricted free agent would now like to get paid. You're talking about a guy who couldn't even use his "Player of the Week" spot outside of the Browns' training

After Deuce McAllister went down last season thanks to a brutal knee injury (his second in three seasons), the Saints were forced to rely on Reggie "Paparazzi Hating" Bush to carry the load in the backfield. With games of 17, 34, 32, and 64 yards on the ground, it goes without saying that the full time gig did not produce the dividends that New Orleans thought they would receive with the second

After several seasons of incredibly consistent numbers, the Cincinnati Bengals (and fantasy owners alike) were significantly disappointed in the year that was produced by running back Rudi Johnson. Though the Bengals offense was in the top 10 by the end of the 2007 season, the run game was a dismal 24th after generating only 97.3 yards per game. In fact, the team topped 100 yards only five times
