Vic Lombardi of CBS4 reported that the Denver Broncos were in talks with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots in an effort to land Matt Cassel.
Per Lombardi, “The Broncos had a three-way deal in the works late last night with the Patriots and Buccaneers. The proposed trade would’ve sent Cutler to Tampa and [...]

The Dallas Cowboys have traded cornerback Anthony Henry to the Lions in exchange for QB Jon Kitna.
Henry started all 16 games last year and we think this is a good trade for both sides. On one hand, the Lions probably weren’t keeping Kitna anyway. Now, Dallas has a pretty good backup [...]
Who respects Brian Dawkins more? The franchise he gave his blood, sweat, and tears to for 13 seasons or the Denver Broncos? Sadly enough the answer is the Denver Broncos. How pathetic is that?
Per Adam Schefter, Brian Dawkins has gotten a five-year, $17 million deal in Denver. The deal includes $7.2 million in guaranteed money [...]
Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that Matt Cassel has been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs.
This will come as a complete surprise to many NFL fans who recognize an amazing quarterback when they see one. And Tyler Thigpen is just that. Don’t be too sure Matt Cassel will take over the starting role [...]

Mets ace Johan Santana is in danger of missing the start of the MLB season on April 6th due to an irritated triceps tendon.
“We have 162 games,” Santana said on Saturday. “What we have to accomplish takes 162 games. Everything starts April 6, if it’s going to be me or somebody else. It’s tough to [...]

It is clearly apparent now the Philadelphia Eagles front office has no heart or understanding. Joe Banner and Andy Reid might be geniuses in their own minds, but Philadelphia Eagles fans won’t tolerate them anymore. Letting Brian Dawkins, the heart and soul of the Philadelphia Eagles, sign with the Denver Broncos was a slap in [...]

Comcast’s Derrick Dunn said that the Eagles are not interested in T.J. Houshmandzadeh. T.J.’s agent, Kennard McGuire apparently called the Eagles Friday and told him his client would be willing to accept a discount to sign with Philly. After poking around, the Eagles found out that McGuire was actually trying to get more [...]

Rich Cimini of the NY Daily News reports that league sources have told him that the Jets are looking to trade for Eagles CB Lito Sheppard. The report doesn’t say what the Eagles would get in return, but it does say that Lito is due to visit the Jets tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
UPDATE: The Jets [...]

The word on the street is that Brian Dawkins has agreed to a deal with the Denver Broncos worth $4 million for next year. I wonder why he didn’t accept the $1 million offer from the Eagles?

Denver will be visiting [...]

Things just get better and better for Quincy Carter. Now, he’s been arrested for DUI and marijuana possession after police found that he had been drinking and driving and possessing marijuana.
Not sure who has him in the Fantasy Turd League.

Adam Schefter of NFLN reports that Brian Dawkins is on a plane headed to Denver to meet with the Broncos. Dawkins has been an Eagle since 1996 and it would devastate a lot of Eagles fans to see him in another uniform.
But, Dawkins isn’t a spring chicken and as we all know, bidness is [...]

In what will become one of the worst NFL signings in football history, the Washington Redskins signed Albert Haynesworth to a seven-year, $100 million deal, including $41 million in guaranteed money.

Albert got his pay day. Now it’s time for him to eat, get fat, not [...]

Here we go again. Free agency cometh and Daniel Snyder spendeth. It actually is becoming quite a joke down in the D.C. area. I can’t imagine being a Redskins fan and watching my team completely make horrible decisions, spend ridiculous amounts of money, and never ever try to build through the draft.
Anyway, CB DeAngleo Hall [...]

San Francisco Giants president Larry Baer acknowledged that he had traded some voicemails with Manny Ramirez’ agent Scott Boras, but that they never made any offer. Baer fully expects the slugger to re-sign with the Dodgers shortly.
Meanwhile, Dodgers GM Ned Coletti confirmed that the team made a new offer that is a [...]

The Dallas Cowboys have made a shocking move that will certainly send tremors throughout the NFL and probably the entire universe. They have cut Brad Johnson.
Ok, so maybe it’s not that big of a deal and everyone saw it coming. The Cowboys will save close to $2 million in cap space according to [...]

Adam Schefter of NFLN speculates that the Cowboys could cut safety Roy Williams in order to save some $2.18 million in cap room. Williams has been a bit of a malcontent lately when he’s not injured, complaining that Wade Philips’ defense doesn’t suit him.
However, there aren’t many defensive schemes that fit a slow safety [...]

Florida GM Jacques Martin was traveling recently as his Florida Panthers take on the Rangers and Devils. The Flyers are one of “many” clubs that Martin has spoken to about defenseman Jay Bouwmeester.
“I’ve spoken with [Flyers GM] Paul [Holmgren] and I’ve spoken with most other general managers in the league,” Martin said, [...]

The New York Giants have signed Brandon Jacobs to a four-year, $25 million deal. According to a team source, the deal includes $15 million in guaranteed money and $13 million in the first two years.
The contract means that the Giants have Jacobs signed until he is 30. The team surely didn’t want to [...]

Laveranues Coles has been cut by the New York Jets.
Coles was set to earn $6 million this year and wanted a long-term deal. But they couldn’t come to an agreement and now he’s on the street.
“We didn’t leave on bad terms,” Coles said. “It’s not out of the question that I could come back.”
“I [...]

The Rams chopped two players today, QB Trent Green and WR Drew Bennett.
Cutting Green saves the team $1.3 million in cap space. $30-million bust Drew Bennett has been a total waste of money and cutting him now only saves the team $50,000. Thanks, Drew.

Thanks to our friends at PhilliesNation.com for tipping us off on Twitter.
The Phillies have signed catcher Carlos Ruiz to a one-year, $475,000 deal.
Much like last year, Ruiz will again be asked to hit for a very low batting average, hit into frequent double plays and not be able to throw anyone [...]

The Carolina Panthers have released WR D.J. Hackett, G/T Jeremy Bridges and FB Nick Goings.
Jeremy Bridges was set to make more than a million dollars this year, and I guess he wasn’t worth it. D.J. Hackett was never really healthy for the Panthers and didn’t do much for them. Goings filled [...]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released LB’s Derrick Brooks and Cato June, WR’s Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard, and RB Warrick Dunn.
Brooks has been the face of the franchise for more than 10 years, so they must really feel like he can’t run anymore. Hilliard is close to toast and apparently Joey Galloway is [...]

This is from Monday night and we aren’t sure why it took us so long to post. We watched the game and were stunned by this play. Andre Iguodala goes to the free-throw line with the game tied and 1.8 seconds left on the clock. Game over, right? All he has [...]

John Clayton writes in his “Insider” column on ESPN.com that the Bears, Eagles and Titans are all possible landing spots for former Colts WR Marvin Harrison.
We know this thanks to the good folks at Rotoworld, who apparently pay for that crap content. Screw you, ESPN, with your stupid “insider” pay-for-content content.
So anyway, onto Harrison. [...]
