Edgerrin James, the running back who used to be one of the best players at his position in the NFL, was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday. James played in a backup role in Seattle but his production just wasn’t up to par.
In seven games, James had 46 rushes for only 125 yards — or an average of 2.7 yards per rush. He also had three receptions for 19 yards. The 31-year-old didn’t have a touchdown for the Seahawks.
In the offseason, James was let go by the Arizona Cardinals after playing with the Cardinals for four seasons. Before joining …read more

During Week 6 of the 2009 NFL season, Anquan Boldin got injured in the second quarter in the game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks. Boldin returned to play in the third quarter, but then left again after the Cardinals built a big lead.
After not practicing on Wednesday, Boldin was again off the practice field on Thursday. However, he did some work on the side and the Cardinals are hopeful that he can participate in Friday’s practice. If he practices on Friday, there’s a very good chance that he’ll play in the Week 7 contest that has the …read more

The Seattle Seahawks have already had their fair share of injuries so far this season. And they were dealt another big blow on Sunday when middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu tore his left pectoral muscle in a 27-3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
After the game, Seahawks coach Jim Mora said that three-time Pro Bowler Tatupu would need surgery and miss the rest of the season. It appeared Tatupu was injured in the second quarter while tackling Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
Despite not playing in the second half, Tatupu still had a team-high eight tackles against the Cardinals. Seattle also played the …read more

Earlier in the week, Greg Ellis was released by the Dallas Cowboys. The 33-year-old out of North Carolina played his first 12 years in the NFL with the Cowboys. However, after another offseason filled with complaints from Ellis, Dallas decided to cut their ties and save some money on his contract.
Considering that he has 20.5 sacks in the past two seasons, Ellis shouldn’t have any shortage of attention in free agency. At 6-foot-6 and 262 pounds, he’s still a player the offense has to account for when he’s on the field.

Kurt Warner had offseason surgery to repair a hip injury. Despite the injury that bothered him for much of the 2008 NFL campaign, Warner was able to lead the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl before falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Warner, who received a $23 million contract from the Cardinals earlier in the offseason, is already back in action. Taking part in the Cardinals recent minicamp, Warner put in some light work that left head coach Ken Whisenhunt impressed. Although the Cardinals QB admits to still feeling pain in the joint, he says that he fully expects to be 100% …read more

Jake Plummer, the former NFL quarterback, has signed on to become the quarterbacks coach at a high school in the state of Idaho. Plummer, who is from Idaho, will work with Sandpoint High School quarterbacks.
After growing up in Boise, Idaho, Plummer went on to play at Arizona State, where he earned the Jake the Snake nickname. In 1997, he began his career in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals. In 2003, he played his first of four seasons with the Denver Broncos.
The best season of his career came while with the Broncos. In 2004, Plummer had 4,089 passing yards to …read more

The Anquan Boldin trade scenarios became more realistic on Wednesday when Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt admitted that the team is listening to trade offers for the talented wide receiver. While the two sides are working on a new contract, reports indicate that the negotiations haven’t progressed beyond the initial stage.
The Cardinals made the Super Bowl last season but Boldin has been unhappy since the beginning of last year. Boldin’s unhappiness seems to stem from Larry Fitzgerald, a fellow wide receiver on the Cardinals, getting a $40 million contract and Boldin not being offered a similar deal.
Since entering the …read more

5. Brenda Warner Continually Being Shown on the Broadcast
It was totally surprising that Brenda Warner, Kurt Warner’s wife, was shown continually on the Super Bowl broadcast. Actually, no it wasn’t. No it wasn’t, at all. For some reason, whenever Kurt Warner’s name is brought up, the obligatory Brenda Warner camera shot isn’t too far away.

Many people picked Troy Polamalu as the most likely to win the Super Bowl MVP. Not only did he not win the MVP, he was downright invisible. His most prominent moment was when he ripped the shirt …read more

4. Miami Dolphins
Yeah, the worst to first storyline is heartwarming but the Miami Dolphins will be one and done in the 2008 NFL playoffs. Thought the Baltimore Ravens aren’t much of a powerhouse themselves, they should be able to handle the Dolphins.
3. Minnesota Vikings
Outside of Adrian Peterson, the Vikings don’t really scare many teams. Their quarterback play is iffy to say the least and their defense is overrated. Even though they are going up against the 9-6-1 Eagles in the first round, they will be shown the door.
2. San Diego Chargers
The Chargers made the playoffs despite being 8-8. That …read more
