Hold the presses; it appears that there actually IS some money out there that NFL teams are willing to spend this offseason. After weeks of pondering whether any contracts were going to be signed at all amongst first round picks and veterans looking to be compensated according to their production, three relatively high profile deals were struck on Thursday by teams around the league.

The experiment with the Buffalo Bills last season did very little for Terrell Owens’ value in the minds of general managers around the league and that has to be a concern for the free agent wide receiver. Owens is much closer to the age of 40 than 30 these days and that fact also has to be hurting his chances of landing a gig in the NFL in the upcoming season. Still it is semi mind-boggling how a player with the cornucopia of statistics that Owens has accumulated during his decade plus in the league is still standing in the NFL’s unemployment line. The always flamboyant receiver isn’t taking this lying down however as he has gone on record with some rather persuasive accusations about just why he hasn’t landed a gig yet. More »

There are still some names on the free agent market, but none of those will garner the attention of St. Louis Rams safety O.J. Atogwe. It was made official that St. Louis decided not to re-tender him at the pricey $6.976 million that would have been required for such a move to ensure them of his presence on their roster in 2010. The Rams centerfielder on defense had his 2009 season shortened by a shoulder injury that ultimately landed him on injured reserve and he also had hernia surgery this offseason. Those potential injury concerns will have to be thoroughly examined by any teams looking into inking him now that he is on the open market. More »

Pacman’s back AGAIN and no, not the Atari dot-eating classic yellow character scurrying away from ghosts. Adam “Pacman” Jones has had a number of opportunities in the NFL and still managed to throw each and every one of them away with reckless behavior and a track record of criminal behavior. In a league where personal conduct policies now rule the domain and the Commissioner Roger Goodell rules with an iron fist, Jones has somehow warranted yet another look and this time with the Cincinnati Bengals who never shy away from a controversial acquisition.

In a proof positive example that the NFL Draft is far from an exact science, the St. Louis Rams and Dallas Cowboys exchanged former 1st round draft picks in a deal that could have once been considered a blockbuster, but in reality was just a swap of on-field disappointments. The Boys and Rams had a swap meet of sorts filling needs for one another with Dallas receiving offensive tackle Alex Barron to fill a void left by the recently released Flozell Adams while the Rams got linebacker Bobby Carpenter in return to try and fix a woeful defense with an infinite amount of holes.

After a relatively quiet off-season since the Super Bowl, the Dallas Cowboys made a big splash in the first round of the NFL Draft, when they traded up 3 spots to nab wide receiver Dez Bryant. More »

When the clock strikes midnight tonight, the NFL’s much anticipated free agency period will begin without a salary cap for the first time since a cap was implemented in 1994. This uncharted territory for the league has some a bit uneasy as to what to expect from teams this offseason. Obviously there will still be some big spenders as always from Daniel Snyder ’s big fat bankroll with the Washington Redskins to his divisional rival with the Dallas Cowboys in Jerry Jones. Perhaps the most pressing question is not which team will spend the most, but which will spend the least. More »

It turns out the Pro Bowl was good for something last night; breaking news. The news broke that Indianapolis Colts star pass rushing defensive end Dwight Freeney’s ankle injury is actually much more than a simple sprain. Freeney has a torn ligament in his right ankle and is now listed as questionable for the big game this coming Sunday. Although the Colts have become more than just pressuring the quarterback off of the edge this season, they still rely heavily on Freeney’s presence if nothing else to get his counterpart on the other side Robert Mathis one on one matchups rushing the passer.

After Sunday’s predictable (by anyone but me) results, both number one seeds have advance to super Sunday in Miami. For the first time since 1993 when the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys dynasties ruled the NFL landscape, February 7th’s collision will feature the two teams with the best regular season records from their respective conferences in the big game.

It’s very easy to look at the score of the Cowboys-Vikings game and say that the game was totally one-sided from start to finish. However, as I watched the game, I saw something different. More »
