In case anybody was wondering, I get all my rumors from Yahoo! Sports, and I basically read, rephrase, and add in my own opinion to make these rumors unique and PSW-quality.

The Giants had one of those "What the hell just happened?" losses last week against the Seattle Seahawks. I looked outside to see if the world was ending, but it was just another NFL game. The Giants now face the surprise Buffalo Bills, but they won't have Justin Tuck and Chris Snee. They can deal with losing Snee, but Justin Tuck is such a huge presence for this team. I never thought they could win anyway, but this only hurts the Giants. The Bills will come back down to earth to a certain extent at some point during the season, because their terrible players on the offensive line are over-performing at an unsustainable level.

There are actually rumblings about Andy Reid's job security, as impossible as it seems. At the very least, there will be changes on the defensive side of the ball coaching-wise. There wass a players-only meeting in Philly in which the Eagles' players voiced their support for Reid. They realize that it's all on them; not their coach.

Owner Mike Brown still maintains his position and won't trade Carson Palmer to another team. Palmer is really the only guy who stands to lose from this, as he won't get the 11 million dollars he is scheduled to get if he doesn't play a game this season.

Percy Harvin will be out against the Bears with another rib injury, and this makes this an even more interesting matchup between two NFC North deadweights. Harvin is underused and is easily the team's second best offensive weapon behind AP.

Giants fan: Oh f***k, we don't have Tuck

5/24 NFL Rumors: The Free Agent Wideouts

May 24th 2011 14:02

Randy Moss had the most receiving touchdowns in an NFL season with the New England Patriots in 2007. After an ugly breakup last year, the Pats' biggest rivals could sign Moss. This would only happen if the Jets were unable to re-sign either Santonio Holmes or Braylon Edwards. Holmes and Edwards are better players than Moss at this point in time, but Moss would fit right in in New York.

Mike Brown is the worst owner in the league, and he has the most interesting QB situation on his hands. We all know about the Carson Palmer quandary, and Brown has reiterated the fact that the Bengals will keep Palmer. If Palmer holds true to his statement and retires, then Brown says the team will just put in Andy Dalton. He also added that Palmer would be the starter if he stayed. I think the Bengals need to move on and trade Palmer. They'll also get good value for him as opposed to getting nothing in return. Palmer was terrible at the beginning of the year, but he was great in the last few weeks of the season. Was it injuries or luck? Either way, I think there are going to be teams that will try and give too much for him.

The Carolina Panthers will start Cam Newton when he knows the offense, and when they assemble a solid supporting cast around him. Read: get another receiver to play next to Steve Smith. They will make a QB competition with Newton and Clausen, and Newton will act more of a game manager when he first plays. Yeah, they're going to play John Fox ball early on.

The Dallas Cowboys probably won't release Roy Williams, and I honestly wouldn't either. Why? Because there's this thing called trading where you can get something in return. Williams is way too expensive for a receiver who is only average. The Cowboys would also have to give about 12 million dollars to him if they released Williams. Yeah, not happening. Williams is a solid red zone target who can have that occasional big game when he and Romo click.

Barry Cofield wants a new and long-term deal. The defensive tackle is set to be a free agent, and the Giants should grant his request. He's one of the most vocal leaders in the NFL who is also a force on the line for the G-Men. Pay the man and give him a deal that gives him some security; he's earned it.

Mike Sims-Walker is good friends with Brandon Marshall, and he wants to join him in South Beach. I don't think the Dolphins should sign Sims-Walker because he's too similar to Marshall. They're both athletic possession receivers. I think the Fins need to sign a deep threat instead. It's not that I think Sims-Walker is a poor player. It's just that he's not the type of player the team needs. Sims-Walker is a very talented, but also very a inconsistent receiver who struggles against press coverage.

3/2011 NFL Mock Draft: 1-5

March 16th 2011 15:23

This Mock Draft assumes that there are no trades involved.

1. Carolina Panthers CB Patrick Peterson

Patrick Peterson is a special player who is the best draft prospect. He has an impact on special teams with his blazing speed, and he is a complete corner that can step right in and perform at a high level. Peterson gets picks, and he can also shut down opposing receivers. With Chris Gamble getting older and uncertainty surrounding Richard Marshall's contract, the Panthers take Peterson.

2. Denver Broncos DT Nick Fairley

The Broncos desperately need a big guy in the middle that can disrupt plays in the backfield. That guy will be Fairley.

3. Buffalo Bills DE Da'Quan Bowers

The Bills really need a pass rusher, and Bowers had the most sacks in all of college football last year. The Clemson standout is also a stout run defender at the end position, and the Bills were horrible against the run last season. Bowers will fill a ton of needs for Buffalo.

4. Cincinnati Bengals WR AJ Green

Terrell Owens was horrible last year and his contract is up anyway. Chad Ochocinco isn't happy with the team, like Palmer, and his contract runs up after this season. Jordan Shipley is the only good receiver, but he needs help. Shipley is a slot receiver, and not the kind of game-breaker like Green. He gets downfield, and he is really special. Green is a complete prospect that fits the Bengals' system. He will bring an influx of talent into a sagging Cincinnati franchise that is poorly owned.

5. Arizona Cardinals QB Blaine Gabbert

The Cardinals are definitely not going to stick with the same guys they had last year at quarterback. Derek Anderson and Max Hall are two of the worst at the position. If there was no lockout, the best choice for Arizona would be to acquire a veteran quarterback. Instead, they will have to fill their need at the biggest position in the draft. Gabbert is the only QB I would be able to comfortably start in year one. He is a refined passer that is athletic, boasts a strong arm, and has better accuracy than his statistics indicate. As always when analyzing draft prospects, stats must be ran over by bulls at Pamplona.
