Although nothing is official, we are starting to hear hints that Michael Vick is close to landing with a new team after being partially reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. By connecting a few dots, it seems that one very possible destination for Vick is the New England Patriots.
Vick recently said that he was getting close to signing with a team. On Thursday, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick fanned the flames by saying this about Vick:
“Michael is an outstanding player, hasn’t played in a couple of years. But right now, our focus is on our team and our players and …read more

Kerry Collins has re-signed with the Tennessee Titans after a very successful 2008 NFL campaign. Collins took over for Vince Young early in the season and had Tennessee playing at a high level for most of the season.
The contract Collins signed is for two years and has approximately $8.5 million in guaranteed money. Although he doesn’t have a high ceiling as a fantasy football quarterback, this move definitely has some fantasy impact.
First of all, Young’s stock drops even further. If Collins would have signed elsewhere, Young would have had a chance to possibly start for the Titans. Now with Collins …read more

Chris Henry, the talented but troubled wide receiver, had his latest brush with the law dropped. Henry was suspended indefinitely by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, but now there is a chance that he could be reinstated before the start of the 2008 NFL season.
After being suspended, Henry was waived by the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are the only team Henry has ever played for in his NFL career. And while the Bengals waived him, Henry has indicated that he’d be open to rejoining Cincinnati’s team once he is reinstated.
Other teams that make sense for Henry other than …read more

Kevin Jones, the former starting running back of the Detroit Lions, is still trying to get another job in the NFL. Jones is recovering from an ACL injury and is out to prove he’s healthy. To do that, he’s been holding workouts for NFL teams to show that he’s back to 100%.
Jones is young enough and skilled enough that he should eventually land another job. While he won’t be a starter at first, if he can stay healthy there is no limit to what he can accomplish. It wasn’t too long ago that Jones was considered …read more

Ahman Green of the Houston Texans is coming off of another injury plagued season. Despite all his injuries, Green is still slated to be the starting running back on the Texans.
Last offseason, the Texans signed Green away from the Green Bay Packers and gave him the starting gig. Green was only able to play in six games and had only 260 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
In 2008, Green will get another shot. The 31-year-old back is a smart running with good speed and good quickness. The problem is that he’s injury prone and can’t …read more

Shaun Alexander remains a free agent and there isn’t much buzz surrounding him these days. Alexander, who is just a few years removed from being a fantasy football stud, just isn’t especially appealing to NFL teams currently.

The latest news regarding Alexander is that the Denver Broncos no longer appear to be interested. Alexander might have been a good fit in Denver but the Broncos don’t have the salary cap room to sign him. Other rumors have linked Alexander to the Cincinnati Bengals, New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions, however there doesn’t appear to be anything imminent.
The problem …read more

The Oakland Raiders signed Marques Tuiasosopo to backup starter JaMarcus Russell at quarterback. Tuiasosopo will join Andrew Walter behind Russell.
Tuiasosopo hasn’t had much of an impact on the football field in his professional career. He was drafted by the Raiders in the second round of the 2001 NFL draft but has only thrown 88 passes in his career for two touchdowns.
While there isn’t much of a fantasy impact with the Tuiasosopo signing at face value, it’s actually good news for Russell. The Raiders are now obviously banking on Russell to have a big year. Russell, who …read more

Marion Barber III, the projected starting running back for the Dallas Cowboys in 2008, got a seven-year contract on Tuesday. The contract is reportedly worth approximately $45 – with about one-third of the contract guaranteed.
The fact that the Cowboys and Barber were able to agree on a contract is good news for both parties. Barber got the money and the recognition he wanted. The Cowboys locked up a major part of their offense.
In the last two season, Barber has been very good for Dallas. In 2006, he had 654 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. In …read more

After spending a season with the Oakland Raiders, Dominic Rhodes has signed a contract to return to the Indianapolis Colts. After a disappointing season in Oakland, Rhodes will be going back to Indianapolis. The last time Rhodes was in a Colts uniform, he was helping the team win the 2006 Super Bowl.

Rhodes will partner with Joseph Addai, who he partnered with and had great success in 2006. In 2006, Rhodes had 641 yards and five touchdowns. Last year with the Raiders, Rhodes had 302 yards and one touchdown.
While there’s a chance that he can once again …read more

Dominic Rhodes spent his first five years in the NFL with Indianapolis Colts. He left the Colts last season after their Super Bowl victory to join the Oakland Raiders. With Oakland, Rhodes barely saw the field – finishing with 302 yards and one touchdown.
After the Raiders drafted Darren McFadden in the 2008 NFL Draft, Oakland decided to waive Rhodes. Rhodes is now a free agent who is able to sign with any team of his choosing. At 29 years of age and relatively little wear and tear, Rhodes should generate some interest.

One destination that is possible …read more
