Cooler Heads Have Not Prevailed

Written by John White | February 28, 2009 | Comments Off | FanSided

How do you think NFL teams will reacting after this weekend?  Likely by trying to balance checkbooks that are swimming in red ink.
Huge money is getting thrown around as if much of the economic bailout money had been given to the NFL and it’s teams.
The biggest surprise?  Check out the deal that former Carolina Panthers [...]

Steelers Want Big Ben To Die

Written by Chris | February 28, 2009 | Comments Off | Nice Pick, Cowher (Steelers)

Ever wish and pray something you knew would happen wouldn’t happen?  Ever hope things might go a certain way even though deep down inside you know they won’t?
That’s how I felt yesterday when the Pittsburgh Steelers announced the resigning of RG Chris Kemoeatu.  Yes the man who my astute readers overwhelming didn’t want back next [...]

Ravens’ Free Agency: Feb. 27

Written by Joe B | February 28, 2009 | Comments Off | The Ebony Bird (Ravens)

So yesterday, if you haven’t heard, former Ravens linebacker Bart Scott signed with the New York Jets.  He had good reason to sign there, with Rex Ryan as their new head coach.  This could be a huge boost for the Jets or it could be a huge bust for the Jets.  In the past, when [...]

Kurt Warner Goes To San Francisco 49ers

Written by Stlvinnie | February 28, 2009 | Comments Off | Ramblin' Fan (Rams)

Well not yet, however…as sick as it makes me, there are reports that free agent Kurt Warner could possibly sign with the hated San Francisco 49ers.  These reports are coming from ESPN and the San Francisco PressDemocrat.com. The PressDemocrat has these comments:

The 49ers have a “legitimate shot” to land veteran free-agent quarterback Kurt [...]

Score: NFL – 1, Cardinals -0

Written by AZScott | February 28, 2009 | Comments Off | Raising Zona (Cardinals)

Well, that was fast.  Running Back J.J. Arrington has been snatched up and signed by the Denver Broncos.  That place is a virtual re-birth for any running back.  Even in the a new system under a new head coach, a running back must still feel like they reached rushing heaven once they have reached Denver.
Good [...]

Best of luck in Detroit, Maurice.

Maurice Morris is no longer a Seattle Seahawk. On Friday evening, the running back agreed to a three-year, $7 million contract with the Detroit Lions. Morris, who will be entering his eighth season out of Oregon, will turn 30 years old later this year.
Not an extremely surprising [...]

When will they ever learn?…

Written by The Dirty Bird | February 28, 2009 | Comments Off | Blogging Dirty (Falcons)

The free agent signing period opened up today with a bang, actually about 100,000,000 of them.

$100,000,000 for 7 years for Albert Haynesworth. I ask only one question to the Washington Redskins. Why give that kind of money to a defensive tackle who, while being a hell of a run stopper and who can get after the [...]

Written by Scott | February 28, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)

Bye, bye Lito Sheppard. It took over a year, but it looks as if the Eagles have finally parted ways with their disgruntled cornerback.

St. Louis Rams Sign Center Jason Brown

Written by Stlvinnie | February 27, 2009 | Comments Off | Ramblin' Fan (Rams)

The St. Louis Rams have signed Baltimore Ravens free agent center Jason Brown to a five year deal. This makes the second round of the upcoming 2009 NFL Draft very interesting for the Rams. I thought a great pick would be Center Max Unger from Oregon or Alex Mack from California, now the Rams will [...]

Two surprising stories

Written by Tim Redinger | February 27, 2009 | Comments Off | BuffaLowdown (Bills)

Two things that have really surprised me in going over free agency notes:

Jabari Greer is now visiting other teams, he is reportedly in Detroit checking things out.  He is looking to be in the $8 million dollar range, and the last report that anyone saw was a Bills offer at about half that amount.  I [...]

The Jets are once again going full force into free agency with their win first attitude intact. I’ll say this now… If nothing else, we can be assured that this organization is trying.
The Bart Scott signing today means the Jets are serious about moving in the right direction. They are building this team to be [...]
