Once thought of as a possible upside fantasy player, Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain is now homeless. Well, he most likely has an actual place to live (we’d assume), but he no longer has an NFL home. According to Chris Russell of ESPN 980 AM, the Redskins have parted ways with Torain. “Ryan Torain had [...]
Before this season, the San Francisco 49ers signed Braylon Edwards to a one-year, $1.6 million contract. The hope was that he would be a deep threat for them, but that never happened for a variety of reasons. “I was released today by the 49ers due to my injury that required more time to rehab and [...]
Good new, Chicago Bears! The Denver Broncos have cut Kyle Orton. It’s kind of a surprise, but not really when you consider that if any QB on the roster is going to get a look should something happen to Tebow (bench/injury), it would likely be Brady Quinn. So, why pay Orton the remaining $2.5 million [...]
File this under “somewhat shocking.” The New England Patriots win a lot of games because of their offense. Their defensive is just horrific, so one would assume that they can’t afford to be losing players. But, after cutting Leigh Bodden a week ago, they have let go of another veteran player. Albert Haynesworth. “BREAKING: The [...]
To say that we are shocked on this one is an understatement. The Cowboys dumped Marion Barber in the offseason, but drafted DeMarco Murray to be some new blood. They still have Felix Jones, but he’s hurt all the time and ineffective. In the last couple years, Tashard Choice has always done a more-than respectable [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles have made tons and tons of moves this offseason, so why should now be any different? As the team prepares for the St. Louis Rams in Week 1, they’ve done some roster shuffling. First and foremost, they’ve sent first-round draft pick Danny Watkins to the bench. He was a mess at right [...]
In 2009, the Buffalo Bills took Penn St. defensive end/LB Aaron Maybin with the No. 9-overall pick. Since he doesn’t have one single sack yet and contributes nothing on special teams, the Bills decided they’d had enough. According to Adam Schefter, they have cut their dead weight. “Another big move for the Bills: Buffalo is [...]
What the hell happened to Scott Kazmir? Remember it was considered a major gaffe when the New York Mets sent him to Tampa Bay for the likes of Victor Zambrano? Yeah, not Carlos Zambrano….Victor. Kazmir turned into a decent pitcher from 2005-2008 and it looked like he’d have a bright future. But somewhere, it all [...]
Yet another team in another town has come to the conclusion that Milton Bradley isn’t worth it. In the past, he’s been incredibly productive, making it worth someone’s while to keep him around and deal with his myriad of antics. But, he’s just not anymore and hence the Seattle Mariners have designated him for assignment. [...]
Numerous media outlets are reporting that the Philadelphia Phillies have decided move on from 2B Luis Castillo. The 35-year old was brought in this spring to try to fill the void left by the mind-boggling Chase Utley knee injury, but the Mets apparently released him for a reason. This means that the Phillies will stick [...]
The Chicago Cubs apparently didn’t care for comments that Carlos Silva made on Saturday about pitching coach Mark Riggins and the team in general. After Silva found out that he wasn’t going to make the 25-man roster (mainly it was for pitching like shit all spring), he said that Riggins wasn’t “straight” with him and [...]
As it is in life, it’s very difficult to get someone to hand you $12 million to do something. To do anything, really. So when someone tells you that they are willing to pay you $12 million and have you do absolutely nothing in return, that’s saying something. And that’s essentially what the New York [...]
The Chicago Bears are the latest team to join the player-cutting party. They announced today that they have cut DT Tommie Harris, T Kevin Shaffer and LB Hunter Hillenmeyer. We aren’t exactly sure what happened to Tommie Harris. Taken 14th overall in 2004, Harris’ career got off to a very promising start. He was a [...]
So much for experimenting with an attitudinal Ukranian. The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that they have placed Nikolay Zherdev on waivers. “It had eroded to the point where they wanted to see what else is out there,” Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. According to Frank Seravelli of the Daily News, Zherdev declined comment on [...]
Okay maybe this isn’t that shocking, considering the New Orleans Saints got nice production from rookie Jimmy Graham last season. But still, Jeremy Shockey was a very productive tight end for the Saints (when healthy) the last few years. But alas, the Saints told him not to let the door hit him on the way [...]
St. Louis Rams safety O.J. Atogwe was due an $8 million roster bonus on the 21st of this month. We think that’s quite a hefty some for a good but not great player. Apparently, the Rams agree with us. According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the team has cut him. “Rams release [...]
This was a surprising move (to us at least). The Indianapolis Colts have cut stud safety Bob Sanders. And when we say “stud,” we mean “when he’s on the field.” Sanders is one of the biggest difference makers in the NFL. When he’s healthy, he completely changes the Colts’ defense. When he’s hurt (which is [...]
Apparently, the Washington Redskins aren’t the only team to think that Devin Thomas can’t play in the NFL. According to Mike Cranston, the Carolina Panthers have released the former Michigan State wide receiver. “#Panthers sign S Gerald Alexander and waive WR Devin Thomas,” he tweets with appropriate use of hashtags. Thomas was active for just [...]
In 2008, there were a slew of wide receivers taken in the second round. Some turned out to be excellent players and some turned out to be complete busts. The Washington Redskins grabbed two of them and they both seem to be in the latter category. With a new regime in place, the Redskins seem [...]
The Carolina Panthers probably took the wrong USC wide receiver in the 2007 draft. In New York, Steve Smith has blossomed into a very nice player. The Panthers took the much higher profile Dwayne Jarrett back then, and have been rewarded with nothing but DWI arrests. That’s right, Jarrett got another one. He was arrested [...]
The Tampa Buccaneers have released RB Derrick Ward. It’s a little mind boggling considering they signed him to a four-year, $17 million contract last year, but he looks like he’s running on the beach right now. This means that Cadillac Williams is now clearly “the guy” in Tampa and should slide up fantasy draft boards. [...]
The New York Jets have a lot of bravado. They also have a television show on HBO. In addition, they have released Laveranues Coles. Coles had just 19 yards on four catches running with the two’s and three’s in the preseason, so this isn’t a total shock. It also wouldn’t be a total shock if [...]
When the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t bringing in players who have issues with the law, they are adding guys who simply can’t help the team. Last year it was Laveraneous Coles. This year? It’s Antonio Bryant. And the Bengals have finally decided to part ways with the wide receiver that they already spent $7.85 million on. [...]
The Washington Redskins recently traded for QB John Beck from the Baltimore Ravens. That gave the Ravens some breathing room in terms of their QB depth chart, but now the Redskins have the problem of too many QB’s. Not for long. ESPN 980 radio in Washington D.C. reports that the Redskins has cut former University [...]
Domenik Hixon has been a pretty productive player for the New York Giants both as a return man and as a WR. But, he recently shredded his ACL and many think that it was due to the new turf at the new Giants Stadium. With Hixon already out for the entire season, the Giants don’t [...]
