Dominic Rhodes Close to Signing With Colts
Published 5/6/2008 by Michael David Smith at FanHouse
Filed under: Colts, Indianapolis, NFL Free AgencyFree agent running back Dominic Rhodes is close to signing with the Indianapolis Colts, the team where he has played all but one year of his NFL career. Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Rhodes and the Colts are expected to reach agreement on a contract soon. In Indianapolis Rhodes would compete for the role of backup to Joseph Addai, along with Kenton Keith and rookie Mike Hart. Keith was very effective spelling Addai last season, and it's a bit surprising that the Colts feel the need to bring in another running back, but Keith's recent arrest could have the Colts questioning whether ...

THIGPEN TO BUMP BRODIE?
Published 5/7/2008 by Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com
With the Chiefs using zero of their 12 draft picks on quarterbacks, many presumed that Brodie Croyle would continue as the starter, at least for 2008. Enter Tyler Thigpen. Thigpen, a seventh-round pick of the Vikings in 2007 whom coach Brad Childress thought he could slip through waivers and sign to the practice squad before the Chiefs pounced, could challenge Croyle.  Not next year, but right now. Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Chiefs believe that Thigpen could topple Croyle ...

Published 5/12/2008 by Anthony Hall at Vikings War Cry
*You guys are never going to believe this! The Vikings signed Koren Robinson! Click here for the report! …So, did I getcha? No? Dammit…another failed Rick Roll attempt. Whelp, I’ll keep trying — we’ve got a couple months to fill until training camp gets underway, so be prepared for a Rick Rolling when you least expect it. *Let’s get things started with the news of Koren Robinson’s departure from Green Bay. This move was an expected one, as a youth movement is fully underway with the Packers’ receiving corps. With this release comes another setback for Koren’s attempted revival of his career. And that’s a shame, ...

Kansas City Chiefs’ Offseason Stories: Who Starts at QB?
Published 4 days ago by Jon Yoon at Home of the Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs’ Offseason Stories: Who Starts at QB? Brodie Croyle. I could almost just end this post right there. Brodie Croyle is going to start in game 1. Period. It astounds me how many media-heads continue to insist that there is a quarterback competition. This Chiefs’ team preview on NFL.com suggests that Croyle will be in a heated QB controversy with Damon Huard and that Thigpen is fast emerging as a favorite of Chan Gailey’s, which could create an interesting QB controversy . I’m not saying that the writer of this story is wrong, but I’d be curious to hear what statements he is referring to. I have heard no remotely credible threats of Huard taking the job away from Croyle. In fact, given ...
