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 [...]
The Milwaukee Brewers have finally decided to put their foot down when it comes to pitchers that stink. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, they have cut ties with 35-year old RHP Jeff Suppan. Suppan was pulled from the starting rotation after just two starts this year and was relegated mostly to mop-up duties. Suppan was [...]
Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the New England Patriots have severed ties with cornerback Shawn Springs. At 35-years old, this could be the end of the road for Springs. Drafted by the Seahawks in 1997, Springs also spent time with the Washington Redskins. He started eight games last year for the Patriots. Photo [...]
Finally, someone has ended this awful experiment. The New England Patriots have released outside linebacking disappointment Adalius Thomas, according to Mike Reiss and Adam Schefter of ESPN. Thomas arrived in New England with much ballyhoo in 2007, but never lived up to expectations. He was just around 30-years old when the Patriots signed him and [...]
According to Manish Mehta of NJ.com, the New York Jets have released all-world (he was at some point anyway) guard Alan Faneca. There had been rumors that he was being shopped, but apparently they don’t care about what they get for him at all. With no salary cap right now, there are no cap consequences. [...]
The St. Louis Rams have announced that they have severed ties with QB Marc Bulger. Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that there was interest from the Washington Redskins and that kept the Rams’ hope of finding a trading partner alive. Now that the Redskins have Donovan McNabb, however, we think it’s safe to say that [...]
The Dallas Cowboys have released their starting left tackle Flozell Adams. The move saves Dallas some $7.5 million in salary for the 2010 season. Adams gave up eight sacks last year and has turned into a bit of a penalty machine. But what’s funny is how the media talks about these guys. We were reading [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles continue to overhaul their roster. Shawn Andrews was dropped recently and this time it was WR Kevin Curtis’ turn. Curtis was very productive and explosive when he first joined the team in 2007, but he’s been plagued by injuries since then. During that 2007 season, Curtis had 1,110 yards and was a [...]
The Chicago Bears have released former All-Pro CB Nathan Vasher, according to Adam Schefter. Vasher, 29, was an All-Pro in 2005, but has been pretty much ineffective the last few years. Many league observers didn’t think Vasher would even make the team out of training camp anyway. Vasher started 13 games in 2006, but has [...]
This is somewhat surprising considering the fact that he was signed to a huge long-term deal that didn’t cost a ton. But, it’s happened. The Philadelphia Eagles have released former All-Pro guard Shawn Andrews. “We appreciate the efforts and contributions of Shawn while he was in Philadelphia,” said head coach Andy Reid. “We have, however, [...]
After trading for Brady Quinn, the Denver Broncos obviously decided that QB Chris Simms wasn’t worth it. Today, they have decided to part ways with Simms, who was owed $2.54 million this season. Not too difficult to see why they didn’t want him. Simms has started just two games since 2006 when he went down [...]
Well this isn’t even mildly surprising. The Cleveland Browns have announced that they have terminated the contract of QB Derek Anderson. Anderson had a very good year in 2007 but then fell off of a cliff. There has been a battle for the QB spot in Cleveland between him and Brady Quinn, but both are [...]
The Oakland Raiders have admitted to a couple of mistakes…sort of. According to Adam Schefter the Raiders have let go of Javon Walker and Greg Ellis. “Filed to ESPN: Raiders waived WT Javon Walker and DE Greg Ellis. Talk about two moves that didn’t work out,” he tweets. Boy is that the truth. Walker was [...]
As expected, the Oakland Raiders have released running back Justin Fargas, according to Adam Schefter. PHOTO CAPTION: JaMarcus Russell throws an interception to Justin Fargas This immediately makes the Raiders a contender. The problem with Oakland is they had too many good players. They need to trim the good player fat. Fargas spent seven long [...]
Since 2004, Indianapolis Colts QB Jim Sorgi has the best job in all of football. All he had to do was play some snaps in the preseason and backup Peyton Manning, who never gets hurt. You just stand there and look pretty, Jim. But, according to Matt Brei on Twitter, the Colts are planning on [...]
According to Jay Glazer, the Carolina Panthers have released QB Jake Delhomme. Delhomme got a big contract after stinking up the joint against the Arizona Cardinals in the 2008 playoffs, but clearly he is not someone the organization wants running the show moving forward. “I’m reporting a surprise release, panthers are releasing QB Jake Delhomme, [...]
The Washington Redskins have put a few heads on the chopping block as expected. They have cut guard Randy Thomas, wide receiver Antwaan Randle El (thank god) and special teamer/backup RB Rock Cartwright. At age 34 and coming off of a torn triceps, you had to figure they weren’t going to pay Thomas the $3 [...]
According to San Diego Chargers WR/special teamer Kassim Osgood on Twitter, the team has cut nose tackle Jamal Williams. “Confirmed: Jamal Williams released — ka,” he tweets. Williams was put on injured reserve last year after only one game. The Chargers must really feel like he is toast because the NT is the linchpin to [...]
The Cincinnati Bengals have announced that they have terminated the contract of WR Laveranues Coles, making him an unrestricted free agent. Coles was a disappointment last year, catching just 43 passes for 514 yards and five TD’s. He did that while making almost $10 million, a salary that doesn’t jive with those types of numbers. [...]
