They can still have McFadden run for a bazillion yards against them (give or take a million
)

I stand corrected. Once again, the contractual sins of the past has comeback to haunt the Raiders fans.
Overnight News in the NFL:
-After 11 NFL seasons and two Pro Bowls, former Rams and Ravens QB Marc Bulger said he is retiring.

-Rams reached agreement with former Falcons running back Jerious Norwood on a one-year deal.

Raiders added some much needed depth and veteran leadership to the OL with a few signing yesterday. Center Samson Satele, tackle Stephon Heyer, guard Justin Smiley and tackle Seth Wand.
Rookie Stefen Wisniewski is expected to start at center, but Satele gives the team options. Oakland needed more alternatives at tackle, where Heyer and Wand will provide depth.
This all according to Greg Rosenthal from Pro Footbal Talk. NOW, they need to work on FA TE Kevin Boss and sign his arse up as soon as possible!!!!

I would love for the Tatupu legacy to be rekindled in Foxboro (for those that don't know, that's Lofa's dad the late, great Mosi Tatupu on my avatar)!

Could see it now that they are going to run more 4-3 this year.
I like this one better, though.
Osi Umenyiora Could Be Traded For Second Round Pick, According To Report - SBNation.com
i have no issue with the fans doing this. the morons running this franchise don't seem to get it so maybe they need to hear it from the fans mouths! boo them all year........-Miami fans booed Chad Henne in practice yesterday and chanted "Kyle Orton". Poor Chadwick.
-It could be worse Miami. With Peyton Manning on PUP, the four QBs taking snaps in Colts camp are Dan Orlovsky, Nate Davis, Mike Hartline and Curtis Painter. Yikes!
as far as manning goes, he'll be fine.might take him 2 or 3 games to get into rhythm. don't think its a huge issue
Notable stat on NFL competitiveness: in each of the past 15 seasons, at least 5 teams made playoffs after missing the year before.
Welcome back football! I love you!

He wants big time money. The Pats have the picks to pull the trade off, no doubt there, but the money he is looking for is in the 4, 5 or 6 year range in the $65-$75 million range. The money in the $10-$13 million a year for a couple of years would be worth it cause he is beast, but for 5 or 6 years...way too much for a soon to be 31 year old. Seymour was MUCH better and a year or 2 younger and they did not wanna give him that much money.
-Texans reach 2 year deal with one of the best unknown commodity's in the NFL; FB Lawrence Vickers. Expect Arian Foster to run for 5,000 yards this season.
I'm not sure if you can classify Wimbley's contract signing as a 'restructuring'.:

Well, that is one man's opinion. By stretching out his money, they were able not take a hard salary cap hit.
LOVE the Ochocinco move. He will be motivated by his friendship with Belichick, and like Moss before him, he always wanted to play with Brady. We all know how that worked out in '07.
As far as Haynesworth goes, there's no sugar coating it: he's a bad human being (and I dont mean that as a compliment)! I was lukewarm with the idea of him playing alongside Wilfork and Warren, but now with Warren released.... I HATE IT!! I've heard people compare this with the Pats releasing Lawyer Milloy after they got Rodney Harrison. Fans and players alike were pissed after Lawyer's release, but then the Pats won back-to-back Super Bowls and Rodney was a huge part of that because of his leadership. Unfortunately, I don't see Haynesworth being a leader of any kind.
Osi off the block -
The New York Giants informed Osi Umenyiora's agent, Tony Agnone, on Wednesday that he no longer has permission to seek trades with other teams, according to a league source.
No clubs were willing to give up a first-round draft choice, but sources said several clubs had interest if compensation was a second-day draft pick (rounds 2 or 3).
Umenyiora, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, has been upset with his contract, which is scheduled to pay him $7.1 million in base salary during the next two seasons combined.
