Marcus Thomas - Run defender who can't pass rush

The Giants [url="https://twitter.com/Matt_Pearce13/status/236191178654109696"]signed[/url] him.

[JO_75]

Desperate for LB help after their linebackers are serving suspensions or are injured, the Saints have traded an undisclosed draft pick to the Seattle Seahawks for LB Barrett Ruud.

RB Clinton Portis to retire.

My favorite RB ever. Sucks to see him retire.

Yeah I read his holdout may last into the regular season as well. It will be interesting to see who would trade for Jones-Drew.

[gabefergy]

Dolphins trade CB Vontae Davis to Colts for 2nd round pick and conditional late rounder.

Makes sense for both teams IMO.

THAT was this amazing trade??? Irsay, you're a moron. You just got fleeced.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

That didn't last long. The Seahawks released Terrell Owens.

Davis has talent. I think Pags will be good for him and he is a huge upgrade at corner for Indy.

Yep he sure did. Their GM Ryan Grigson is a moron as well, Davis was not worth trading a second round pick for.

Pagano is just what Davis needed, I wouldn't be surprised if he finally brings out his potential.

I agree, he was a secondary coach for awhile....I have always thought as Davis as a young rising CB. Plus who else plays CB for the colts? Powers?

[Gordo52]

I feel bad for T.O.

I hope he lands somewhere. Probably the Jets, lol.

[RavensAllTheWay]

I wish Irsay would shut up. Does he want people to stop listening to him? Because that's where we're headed. It seems like he's trying to be "the man" in Indy, and this is a particularly bad time for it, considering they just cut their man in Peyton and drafted a new one in Luck.

I feel like he's bad for a team in complete rebuilding mode. I wouldn't want a Jones/Snyder/Irsay as the owner of my team. And who the hell trades a second rounder plus a late rounder for an inconsistent CB? Not that Pags won't develop him, but Irsay better hope he does.

I guess that talk about Cary Williams can be put to rest (and I am glad). I like our CB depth.

[JO_75]

Since we are talking about Kickers, former Raven Shayne Graham wins the Texans starting Kicker job.

[JO_75]

The Patriots have now gave a contract extension to Aaron Hernandez locking up both of their Tight Ends to long term contracts according to Adam Schefter.

I mean like the Rams or Buc's.
No Steelers, Jets, and Colts

Hernandez gets a 5 year $40m extension with $16m guaranteed.

[JO_75]

Jets and Rams trade Offensive Tackles. The Jets send Wayne Hunter to St Louis in return for the # 2 Pick in the 2009 Draft, Jason Smith!

[bauer77]

I know this isn't "big" news, but 2 other veteran kickers got cut today. Neil Rackers by the Redskins and Olindo Mare by the Panthers. Seems like even kickers are getting younger.

[JO_75]

Gosh the Jets are stupid, now while I want to see Tim Tebow succeed, they should have let him go to Jacksonville instead of trading for him. Now trading for Offensive Tackle bust Jason Smith? Rex Ryan and their GM are setting themselves up to be fired. I will not be surprised to see a house cleaning in order for the Jets at the end of the season.
