The Vikings didn't have a lot of options to get a backup quarterback they wanted. I mean, they were really wanting to get Sage Rosenfels...yeah, I know, seriously??? He's decent, but even the Houston Texans weren't willing to part...

Kickers don't usually get a lot of love on this blog; heck, they don't even get much love period. So when there's news of a pretty big-name kicker, we've got to give equal due....well, maybe not equal, but mention...

No, not that Boulware. I know it's an odd name, but the most famous is Peter Boulware--I'm talking about Michael Boulware. The latter was added to the Minnesota Vikings to help in their secondary, which they need a lot...

Just hours after being arrested for punching his estranged girlfiend (punching sounds so much more tabloid-y than assaulting, doesn't it?), Steelers WR Cedrick Wilson is searching for a new NFL home. Wilson, who only started one game for the...

For all of the complaints that the Philadelphia Eagles' front office has had to endure as far as player personnel moves, the mob should be quited as the team has made several moves in the offseason thus far. (Well,...

Ok, we all know that free agent season is one where teams plug those nasty little holes that kept them from doing well or better than they did in the previous season. It is also where teams rid themselves...

Yeah, yeah, every sports site has something on Brett Favre. The man, the myth, the legend. He has like all of these records and he's retired. We get it. Not to disrespect him--I apologize if it comes off that...

Even a team like the New England Patriots, who lost one single solitary game, will be more than likely active in the free agency signing period. They’ve been involved in rumors over dropped players and certainly will be trying...

Eddie Kennison has not only played several years at a skill position in the NFL, he's also played several years for one team, which is more an exception than a rule nowadays. Unfortunately, at 35, the Kansas City Chiefs...
