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 [...]

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 [...]

The Rams chopped two players today, QB Trent Green and WR Drew Bennett.
