Looks like Laveranues Coles is coming back to the Jets. Smart move since Holes will miss the first four games. Jets also signed Mark Brunell.

Looks like all the draft picks have been signed. Sam Bradford getting crazy paper

and haven't played a down. It's gonna be interesting to see how the league address

this when the current CBA ends.

That shit has to be changed. Bradford hasn't made his bones, but he gets paid like Tom Brady?? Fuck that.

Giants and Jets started their camps today....and so it begins.

One year of outstanding play and the Revis Island hype, now the Jets must

pay for it.

It doesn't help that Crazy Al Davis made Asomugha the highest paid corner. then Rex Ryan saying Revis is the best in the league.

Steelers sign Flozell Adams to a two year deal.

He should help bolster their run game. I know he's a liability in

pass protection at this stage but he provides some much needed beef

on that offensive line. Now if the steelers can get Maurkice Pouncey

signed the o-line can be much maligned.

Get ready to hear the whistle blown before the ball is snapped a couple of extra times a game. He loves to commit a false start. I'm glad he's out of Dallas.

If you're not doing the fucking, then you're taking one.

The steelers already had that with Willie Colon. I hear Flozell is partially deaf in one ear.

He'll be playing RT for the steelers which should help. Max Starks got LT locked down.

Favre ready to call it quits
By JUDD ZULGAD, Star Tribune

Favre ready to call it quits

MANKATO -- Brett Favre's wavering nature makes it impossible to call anything official -- even when it seems to be that way -- but NFL sources said the quarterback began informing Vikings personnel late Monday night that he has decided to retire for a third time.

Favre's agent, Bus Cook, did not immediately respond to text messages, nor did Vikings official. The Vikings were on the field Tuesday morning for practice, with coach Brad Childress set to address the media at 11:30.

The Vikings' ownership group, in town for two days of meetings, huddled on the playing field with vice presidents Rob Brzezinski and Rick Spielman.

Favre has been unwilling to commit to playing a 20th NFL season, in large part because he has felt his left ankle has not responded the way he hoped after undergoing surgery in late May. However, many assumed Favre was simply buying time, as he appeared to a year ago.

In that case, Favre told coach Brad Childress he was retiring days before training camp opened but then changed his mind on Aug. 18 and joined the Vikings after one preseason game.

Nonetheless, Favre's decision will come as a shock to the many who fully expected he would join the team once the Mankato portion of training camp ended. There still will be many who won't be convinced Favre will stay retired until he doesn't play a full season.

Favre, who will turn 41 on Oct. 10, had one of the best seasons of his career in 2009, throwing for 4,202 yards (his best total since 1998), 33 touchdowns (his best total since 1997) and a career-low seven interceptions in 2009.

He led the Vikings to a 12-4 record, a second consecutive NFC title and the conference championship game. Favre signed a two-year, $25 million contract last summer that would have paid him $13 million this season

Here we go again.... bored2

He'd better because there's only Chase Daniel and a rookie qb from

Oregon St standing behind him.

Patrick Ramsey is also trying out as Brees' back-up. Ramsey was an New Orleans favorite during his days at Tulane University.

According to WFAN, Favre's working out in Mississippi, and the Vikes are prepared to offer him $20mil for another year. So much for retirement.

Shows you how much confidence Minnesota has in Sage and Tavaris.

If it is true you can expect Goodell to turn a blind eye to it.

Bad luck for the Broncos;

Report: Dumervil out 'indefinitely' after injury

Elvis Dumervil (he of the brand new contract that features $43.168 million in guaranteed money) left Wednesday's practice with an injury, according to Broncos Rapid Reporter Lee Rasizer .

Dumervil was injured during one-on-one drills and headed to the trainer's room "clutching his right arm to his chest."

Now, a report from Adam Schefter on Twitter indicates that the injury is a torn pectoral muscle and that the Broncos' linebacker is out "indefinitely."

Schefter noted that Dumervil could miss up to four months, but it's also entirely possible that the Broncos place the star on Injured Reserve and end his season quite prematurely.

Dumervil was the NFL sack leader last year and was awarded the monster contract just a few weeks ago -- obviously, this is a disastrous scenario for the Broncos if it unfolds as reported.

Follow us on Twitter and tune into the Broncos Rapid Reports for more information as this situation devlops.

Update (12:15): Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that Dumervil will have surgery to repair the torn pectoral muscle and has will likely be out until "at least November." This means the Broncos are now faced with a serious decision as to whether they keep him on their roster for 2010 and risk him being unable to return (and wasting a roster spot in the process), or place him on IR and end his season early.

It's worth noting that if a player like Darrelle Revis or Vincent Jackson showed up to their respective team's camp today and suffered the same injury, the likelihood of them receiving the long-term contract they're seeking would absolutely plummet.

Of course, this is the nightmare scenario for the team in question: inking a star to a monster deal with a ton of guaranteed money, and then seeing that star get injured before taking a regular season snap. Neither scenario, clearly, is very enticing.
