Texans interested in Alan Faneca

April 25, 2010

There was no doubt in my mind that when Alan Faneca was unceremoniously dumped by the Jets that he’d drum up interest…and quickly. So quickly, in fact, it only took one day. John McClain, Texans beat-reporter for the Houston Chronicle, writes that Houston has shown interest in the perennial Pro Bowl guard. “I think everybody [...]

Jets restructure Vernon Gholston’s deal

April 25, 2010

The Jets most disappointing draft pick of their current regime, and possibly in the team’s history, is having his deal re-worked. According to ESPNNewYork.com, defensive end Vernon Gholston’s hefty contract is being restructured, and his base salary ($1.9 million) lowered. Gholston has the chance to earn the money back via incentives, which are unknown at [...]

April 24, 2010

I love the activity today – 3 trades and another possibly coming soon. NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora, live from the draft, is reporting the Raiders are working with the Washington on a trade to acquire quarterback Jason Campbell. More to come. The trade has been announced – quarterback Jason Campbell was acquired by the [...]

In the third trade of the day, the Seattle Seahawks have acquired running back Leon Washington from the Jets for their fifth-round draft choice (no. 140) and the Jets seventh-round pick, the NFL Network is reporting. The Jets used the pick to take running back John Conner. Looks like the Seahawks have completely transformed their [...]

The first, between the Seahawks and Titans, includes running back LenDale White and defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson, who both were sent to Seattle in exchange for a swap of fourth and six-round picks. White is very [...]

Report: Jets cut guard Alan Faneca

April 24, 2010

The NFL is a business. Part of the business is to replace the old, diminishing veterans for the young rookie talent. The latest case: The New York Jets. Manish Mehta of NJ.com broke the story that the Jets have released left guard Alan Faneca. A formal announcement will “likely” come Monday. The Jets had been [...]

Saints 2 (64): OT Charles Brown

April 23, 2010

Closing out the second-round, the Saints go offensive line and draft tackle Charles Brown from USC. Brown’s a bit of a project, very raw and developmental. I don’t envision Brown getting much, if any, playing time his first couple of seasons. He’s more than likely being groomed as the future at LT for the Super [...]

Colts 2 (63): LB Pat Angerer

April 23, 2010

And the Colts keep attacking holes in their defense by selecting LB Pat Angerer out of Iowa. At 6’0″, 235, he’s not as big as you would want, but he plays big. His competitive nature carries him further than his size should allow. To be successful with the Colts they are going to have to [...]
