Brandon Spikes likely done in New England after this season
Tom Curran of CSNNE.com believes that it’s pretty obvious that linebacker Brandon Spikes will be playing his final season with the Patriots in 2013. The writing on the wall is becoming more legible when it comes to Brandon Spikes. Despite the fact he is the best purveyor of on-field nasty the Patriots have, Spikes’ distaste for the Patriots expectations of how to get ready for...

Wes Welker: Broncos ‘in trouble’ if I have to catch 112 passes
During his time with the New England Patriots, Wes Welker was arguably the most reliable receiver in the league. The 112 passes he caught per year proved he was Tom Brady’s favorite target, but that does not mean he will serve the same role for Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. Welker played alongside Randy Moss for three seasons, but he has never played with as talented a...

Rams Sign 6-Foot-10 Terrell Brown, Whose Most Notable Highlight at Ole Miss Was Crushing Chair on Sideline (Video)
There haven’t been many 6-foot-10 players in NFL history, but the St. Louis Rams are hoping their latest acquisition will stick around. The Rams signed a behemoth offensive tackle on Tuesday, Ole Miss’ Terrell Brown. Brown is 6-foot-10, 388 pounds, but played sparingly with the Rebels during his three-year Ole Miss career. Brown played just two games in 2012 at offensive tackle...
Joe Namath takes on Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith
New York Jets quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith are now clear where they both stand with the infamous Joe Namath.
Smith has quickly become the people’s champ and the assumed favorite to win the Jets starting job as early as training camp.
Not only is Namath not feeling that concept, he feels that the Jets should not have drafted the rookie at all.
While Namath stated...
Giants’ Hakeem Nicks is taking on a leadership role with young receiving corps
New York Giants receiver Hakeem Nick is qualified to become a leader for the team.
He’s won a Super Bowl with them, fought through injuries, and now he’s the oldest player in the group.
The Giants think a lot of Nicks, so much so they won’t pay the ultra productive Victor Cruz more that what they will eventually re-sign Nicks for.
They see him as the leader of the receiving...
Green Bay Packers Trying Mike Neal at Outside Linebacker
If there is one thing Mike Neal has proven he can do for the Green Bay Packers defense, it’s rush the passer. Now, the Packers may be trying to maximize that ability because on the first day of organized team activities, the fourth-year defender from Purdue was moved from his customary defensive end position to outside linebacker.
Remembering that it is only OTA’s — the move...
Dez Bryant: I found myself
Dez Bryant was pegged as a prodigy back in college.
The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver has just had problems with immaturity and poor decision-making.
His poor impulse control and a seasonal bout with injuries are the pair of reasons that he is not held in the same esteem as other young gunners such as the Atlanta Falcons Julio Jones and the Cincinnati Bengals A.J. Green.
Bryant...
Cleveland Browns pick up the best small school runningback off claim era
Yesterday just 24 hours after being released by the Philadelphia Eagles, Stony Brook running back Miguel Maysonet was claimed again. This time by the Cleveland Browns. While people say it is a crowded backfield, Maysonet could be a guy that runs a veteran out of town. The dynamic 5’9 power back was a killer in the FCS. He ran all over teams, putting up over 2000 yards on the ground...

Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Is Glad He Has Entire Off-season To Get Into Football Shape
The Pittsburgh Steelers wasted no time this off-season in re-signing wide receiver Plaxico Burress, who inked a one-year deal early on in free agency. Burress was a guest this past Friday on SiriusXM NFL Radio and he talked about how glad he is to get to another chance to play in Pittsburgh in 2013.
During the interview, Burrress was asked if he thinks that he still has it in himself...
Ben Roethlisberger feeling good about playbook changes
Todd Haley's first year as offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't go quite well, but QB Ben Roethlisberger likes what he sees so far as Haley and the team tweaks a few things, playbook and personnel-wise.

Important Notes From Pittsburgh Steelers First Day of OTAs
The Pittsburgh Steelers started their off-season training program today with the first day of OTAs or “organized team activities.” These team workouts are the first look at how the team is shaping up for 2013 and are just a stepping stone towards the start of the 2013 season. Training camp will be the best indication of where players are; especially young players and rookies...
Giants’ defense regressed under Perry Fewell’s leadership
Since 2010, the New York Giants’ defense has gone from being a top ten unit to one of the worst defenses in the NFL in 2012, ranked as low as 31st overall. It also doesn’t help that Osi Umenyiora left for the Falcons without many options to replace his production. Justin Tuck and Corey Webster are getting older. Antrel Rolle is overpaid and the linebacker position continues to...
Amendola: Brady ‘darted me in the chest with one ball’
New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola learned Tuesday, the second day of organized team activities, just how talented of a quarterback Tom Brady is. Amendola and Brady worked out together this offseason in Southern California, but that doesn’t mean he’s use to catching a ball from the future Hall of Famer.
