San Diego Chargers safety Kevin Ellison was arrested on Monday afternoon for rocking the party. Officially, he was pulled over for speeding in a school zone and a police search of his vehicle turned up 100 pills of Vicodin. We don’t know why there was probably cause for a search, but ok. Vicodin is 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.

According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Minnesota Vikings appear to have interest in free-agent RB Ladainian Tomlinson as a possible replacement for Chester Taylor. It makes sense, while OTR doesn’t think that Tomlinson has much left in the tank, he could still be a decent backup to a horse like Adrian Peterson. As slow as [...]

Hopefully for the New York Jets, newly acquired CB Antonio Cromartie is better at handling opposing wide receivers than he is at handling his finances.

The New York Jets have traded a conditional third-round pick to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for used-to-be stud CB Antonio Cromartie.
