The 2010 Minnesota Vikings may very well look like my 2008 fantasy football team. Reportedly LaDainian Tomlinson will visit the Vikes Thursday with the possibility of replacing former back up running back Chester Taylor on the table. Taylor, who signed with the Bears recently as put of their opening day spending spree, left some decent sized shoes to fill in Minnesota but if this work...

If one required tangible evidence that the days of the free spending free agency days of the Redskins are gone look no further than your closest news outlet. Turns out the Redskins never even contacted Julius Pepper's agent despite all kinds of reports that they were first in line for his services. Bruce Allen targeted two veteran tackles, Chad Clifto...

 Running Back Thomas Jones remains a free agent after the New York Jets released him on Monday. According to NFL.com, the Chiefs are one of the teams interested in Jones and is scheduled to meet with the Chiefs on Monday.

 The New York Giants secondary was a major problem last season due to injuries. The safety position was a spot of need this offseason and the team got their man. Antrel Rolle visited yesterday and left with a new deal, a big one.
Rolle signed a five year deal worth $37 million with $15 million guaranteed. It's one of the top deals ever for a safety. The $15 million in guaranteed money is behind o...

 Any NFL fan can tell you that Jets had one of the best shut down corners in the league last year in Darrelle Revis. Now, by adding another top corner, the New York Jets may just have the best cornerback duo in the NFL.
Free Agency begins today but the Jets made a trade to improve their already top defense. New York is sending a third round pick in 2011 to the San Diego Chargers for Antonio Cromar...

ESPN980 is reporting that the Redskins are actively pursuing Green Bay Veteran left tackle Chad Clifton. Clifton is 33 so that shoots the youth movement theory in the foot. This move is interesting in terms of draft strategy because the Skins can still draft an Offensive Lineman at 4 and play him at right tackle until they deem him ready to move over....

According to NFL Network's Michael Lombardi the Redskins were all set to pursue Running Back Darren Sproles. The Chargers reported earlier in the week that Sproles would not be tendered but changed their minds and tendered him yesterday.
My first thought was they reported the wrong Darren. I was thinking they meant Darren Sharper which would be a ni...
