Eagles-Dolphins Trade Could Be Off Because Of Byron Maxwell's Shoulder
The NFL’s two-day “legal tampering period,” on top of having a silly name, is a silly idea. It’s designed for teams to talk to agents before free agency officially opens, but they’re not supposed to agree to deals, not even in principle. They always do, of course—that’s why those deals are officiall...
Ricardo Lockette Explains How He Could Have Died After Blindside Hit

Eagles' Trades Show Who's Really Running The Team

DeAngelo Williams Has Petty And Righteous Thoughts About Peyton Manning
Today is the day when everyone is supposed to shower Peyton Manning with praise. That’s all fine and good, but I’m personally glad that DeAngelo Williams is here to balance things out with some raw pettiness (especially since much of it comes at the expense of Pete Prisco, wearer of weird shorts)....

Report: The Broncos Could Lose Brock Osweiler To The Texans
The conventional wisdom on developing a quarterback is that it’s best to stash the guy for a while, sit him for a few years behind a veteran and then hand over the keys when he’s more physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared. The Broncos looked like they played it to perfection, drafting Brock...
Roddy White Says Kyle Shanahan Forced Him Out Of Atlanta
Roddy White’s release by the Falcons last week was not a huge surprise; it’s hard to justify a 34-year-old third WR with a $6 million-plus cap hit. But White’s an interesting case, because he didn’t precisely demonstrate that he can’t play anymore. Instead, he was simply phased out of the gameplan b...

It's Been A Bad Week For Guys You Would Have Killed To Have On Your Fantasy Team In 2010
On Wednesday, the Falcons cut Roddy White. On Thursday, the Texans released Arian Foster. Today, the Colts told Andre Johnson that he’s gone.
