That was a strange headline to write after my May 4 post that read: “ Anquan Boldin Happy to be in Arizona .” But Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin no longer wants a new contract from his team. He just wants to play out his current one and find a home somewhere else. Or so he says:
“I was ...

Brett Favre plans to report to Green Bay Packers training camp this weekend. He needs to apply for reinstatement via a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell first, but if he does, in fact, show up, the media will turn Packers camp into a circus. The Packers begin their 2008 training camp on Sunday.
Brett is returning with ...

Less than 24 hours before the the Buffalo Bills open their 2008 training camp in Rochester, NY, the team agreed to terms with rookie wide receiver James Hardy today. This is significant because not only do I feel James will be a integral part of the 2008 Buffalo Bills, I believe he’ll make an impact as one of the best ...

ESPN.com blogger Pat Yasinskas watched New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey and quarterback Drew Brees working overtime together after both team practices today. Some speculation is that Jeremy is lobbying for passes to be thrown his way. Or that maybe he’s making a conscious effort to be a good teammate. ...

As I mentioned yesterday, the Chicago Bears had a busy offseason of taking care of their own players. Well, there’s one player they “forgot” and he didn’t show up for practice today as the Bears opened their training camp in Bourbonnais, Illinois. All-world, All-Pro kick returner/wide receiver Devin ...

I guess maybe the Detroit Lions knew it was a gamble to select Army football player Caleb Campbell in the 7th round of this past April’s NFL Draft. But at the time, Department of Defense policy allowed West Point grads to avoid active military service if they had the ability to become professional athletes. Which, ...

So impressed were the New Orleans Saints with wide receiver Marques Colston ’s first two seasons, they gave him a three-year contract extension as the team opened their 2008 training camp today. This move ensures Marques will be with the Saints through 2011. Said head coach Sean Payton:
“It was a priority ...

That means the Packers will have to move on without Brett (as they claim they want to) or find a suitable trade partner. What teams have the Packers contacted that are ...

Just in time for the start of training camp (funny how it works out that way), Chicago Bears linebacker and team captain Brian Urlacher signed a one-year contract extension today that will give him a $6 million right now and a $1 million bump in salary each of the next four years. The final season on his contract is now 2012 ...

The Green Bay Packers have begun shopping Brett Favre . It’s unknown exactly how many teams the Packers have contacted, but it’s believed to be somewhere in the vicinity of 20. Obviously not all of them are in the AFC. Of course, this doesn’t mean the Packers will end up trading Brett. And it’s hard to ...

The N.Y. Giants traded disgruntled tight end Jeremy Shockey to the New Orleans Saints today for second and fifth round picks in next year’s NFL Draft. I expected this trade to happen back in April, so it’s really no surprise the deal finally went down. It’s just a couple months later than I envisioned.

Chad Johnson says he will report to the Cincinnati Bengals (surgically repaired ankle and all) when the team opens training camp this weekend. I say, “Who cares?” But since the story will generate some cash for me, I’ll go ahead and take the plunge. Chad spent most of his offseason talking about how he was ...

Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor was traded to the Washington Redskins today for a second round Draft pick in 2009 and a sixth round Draft pick in 2010. Ironically, the Skins took a hit at that position during today’s first session of training camp with not one, but two injuries. Gone for the year ...

Brett Favre returned to Lambeau Field today to honor former center Frank Winters’ induction into the Green Bay Packers’ Hall of Fame. I wonder how uncomfortable that was for Brett? And Ted Thompson? And Mike McCarthy? Brett declined to answer any questions about his “unretirement” out of respect ...

Bad news for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Projected starting wide receiver Jerry Porter had surgery on a hamstring tear that will force him to miss the entire preseason. As hamstring injuries go, the Jags are hoping this one won’t linger, but Jerry’s still going to miss valuable “bonding” time with his new ...

Former San Francisco 49ers and San Diego Chargers defensive end Fred Dean ’s quickness, speed, and strength made him one of the NFL’s most feared pass rushers during his 141-game career. Although the sack did not become an official NFL statistic until 1982, if numbers tallied by ...
