Pats Do it Again: The Patriots have signed RB LaMont Jordan. Jordan has been treated like trash in the media and unjustly so. You could have put Eric Dickerson behind the Raiders offensive line and had the same results Jordan had. Not his fault. He should flourish in N.E. - 7/26

Favre Update: Rumors are flying that he's talking to both the Jets and Bucs. Don't be surprised if he doesn't end up in either location though. In other news, the Steelers signed RB Rashard Mendenhall to a 5 year deal. Many see the former Illinois standout as a one year wonder, man are those people in for a treat. This guy is the real deal. In other news, the Cowboys finall wavied WR Terry Glenn, a move that was about 6 months overdue. - 7/25

Holding Out: Rams RB Steven Jackson who is in the 5th year of a 5 year contract is said to be holding out. Dude, you signed the deal, hold up your end of it, perform well and getcha a nice fat deal next year. - 7/25

Can Tarvaris Jackson Step it Up? 2008 Minnesota Vikings Team Preview

Big Things Expected in G.B.: 2008 Green Bay Packers Team Preview

Dolphins Finally Deal Taylor: The Washington Redskins have acquired Defensive End Jason Taylor for a second-round draft choice in 2009 and a sixth-round pick in 2010. - 7/20

NFL News and Notes: Journeyman QB Trent Dilfer has officially retired. A great career for a QB with somewhat limited skills. The Minnesota Vikings are said to have interest in Packers QB Brett Favre. Now wouldn't that be something! Minnesota plays AT GREEN BAY in week 1 on MNF! LaMont Jordan is checking out the Detroit Lions as his new home. More to come later as the season gets closer!

Favre to un-retire? Rumors out of Green Bay are he wants to play football again. What will this do to Aaron Rodgers? The Packers supposedly really don't want him back. Will Favre be forced to play for another team? Stay tuned, it's gonna get interesting! - 7/8

As Expected: Ravens Pro Bowl OL Jonathan Ogden will officially announce his retirement Friday. - 6/11

Breaking News: Giants all-time sack leader Michael Strahan has retired. - 6/9

R.I.P. Steel Curtain member Dwight White died today as a result of complications from back surgery. White, an integral part of what may be the best defense ever, was 58. - 6/6

Shut up Tuna! Anybody else sick of the Jason Taylor drama? I wanna be traded, no, I wanna stay, no, I want out. Then we hear that he wants to stay now word is coming out that the Dolphins are open to trading him but only for a 2nd round pick or better. STFU and play ball you morons. WE DON'T GIVE A CHIT. - 6/6

Say McWHAT! The Raidas have signed rookie RB Darren McFadden to a 6 year 60 million dollar contract. Fat coin for an unproven RB. - 6/6

UH-OH: Details are coming out in the wash that as many as 4 witnesses put Bills RB Marshawn Lynch at the wheel during a hit and run accident that involved an SUV registered in his name. Things aren't looking good for Marshawn. - 6/6

Misc. Notes: Ravens OL Jonathan Ogden has supposedly told his friends he is going to retire, however he hasn't made this announcement to team officials yet. The big man is surely one of the best OL's to ever play the game and it'd be a huge blow to the Ravens team to lose him. Raiders RB LaMont Jordan has been told that he won't be practicing with the team which means a move will be made soon. Expect Jordan to catch on someplace elese and produce good numbers. Another poor move by the Raiders. How about fixing your offensive line first, THEN blaming Jordan for poor numbers if he doesn't produce. Novel concept eh? Lastly, the Cowboys have signed T.O. to a 4 year contract extension. Risky business for such a volitale player such as Owens. - 6/3

RB Released: The Broncos released RB Travis Henry today after questioning his committment to the team. This means backup Selvin Young moves into the starting lineup. Young, a stud performer, has set a goal to reach 2000 yards this season. - 6/2

Jets Sign RB: The NYJ signed RB Musa Smith today. Smith, a former Raven, has great speed for his size and should prove to be a productive backup to starter Thomas Jones. - 5/28

Off the Field: Unbeknownst to many, former Giants DL George Martin is 2684 miles into his NY to SD walk to benefit the rescue teams of 9/11. Martin has raised over 2 million dollars during his journey that started last September. Props to you big George, a giant both on and off the field. - 5/24

Falcons Lockup QB: The Atlanta Falcons made it very clear who their QB is today as they signed top draft pick Matt Ryan to a six-year, $72 million contract. - 5/21

LB Dan Morgan Retires: One of the NFL's better defense backs retired today due to injury problems. A great LB who just couldn't stay on the field. Thanks for the memories! - 5/19

Worth a Chuckle: Falcons WR Joe Horn has requested to be traded after finding out he won't be starting this season. Did anybody bother to tell Joe he's over the hill and there's no demand for him? - 5/12

Nice Leg! The Chicago Bears have signed K Robbie Gould through the 2013 season. - 5/12

Let Go! Seattle Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander was released today. Classic example of a guy signing a fat contract, getting paid and then sandbagging. What a travesty. One of the Seahawks all time best players and one hell of a RB becoming dust in the wind. He'll likely sign somewhere and may even do well this year, but what an ugly situation sucking as bad as he did after GETTING PAID. - 4/22

McNair Retires: Raven QB Steve McNair has retired after 13 seasons in the NFL.

Bengals Take a Stand: The team has released troubled receiver Chris Henry after saying they will no longer tolerate his behavior. - 4/3

NFL Rule Change: A rule has been edited that will have a big impact on upcoming NFL games. Today the league did away with the "force out" rule when a receive catches a ball near the sidelines and gets pushed out. Receivers will now need to get both feet down in order for a catch to be deemed a reception. - 4/2

Rumors Swirling in Cinci: The Bengals media believes WR Chad Johnson will be traded on or before draft day. - 4/2

Vikings Ink Backup QB: Minnesota has signed QB Gus Frerrote to back up Tarvaris Jackson. One could only hope that they have plans of picking up a QB in the draft this year as Frerotte is not the answer to any question for any team. - 3/31

Panthers Signing: Carolina has signed WR D.J. Hackett two a 2 year deal. - 3/17

Free Agent Signings: The St. Louis Rams have signed QB Trent Green to a 3 year deal. The TB Bucs signed RB Warrick Dunn. Tampa Bay also signed WR Antonio Bryant. The Detroit Lions signed CB Brian Kelly. - 3/10

RB Shaun Alexander appears to be the odd man out after the Seahawks have signed RB's Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett to long term deals. Rumors are that the Bengals may sign him if he's cut by the Seahawks which appears to be likely. - 3/9

Raiders Make More Bad Moves: Will the Raiders ever get a clue? Today they signed WR Javon Walker to a huge six year deal. Walker is a great WR, however he can't stay healthy. - 3/5

C-Town Continues to Make Waves: The Browns signed DT Shaun Rodgers away from the Detroit Tigers today. This team has made SERIOUS progress during the offseason. - 3/5

Falcon Flies Away: Atlanta has released QB Joey Harrington. - 3/5

It's O.K. to Cry: Brett Favre has retired after 17 years in the NFL. - 3/4

Moss Staying Put: Patriots WR Randy Moss has signed a three year contract with the N.E. Patriots. - 3/3

Vince Young Gains BIG Target: The Tennessee Titans have signed TE Alge Crumpler which should be a huge addition for Vince Young. - 3/3

Release the Hounds! Atlanta has cut RB Warrick Dunn (at his request). They also signed former Charger RB Michael "The Burner" Turner which should be a very exciting addition to the Falcons running game. - 3/3

Big Ben a Steeler for Life: Steeler QB Ben Roethlisberger has signed a 8 year 102 million dollar deal that will likely make him a Steeler for his whole career. - 3/3

Saturday Free Agent Signings: The Minnesota Vikings signed WR Bernnard Berrian (formerly of Chi) to a 6 year contract. The Vikes also signed S Madieu Williams. The SF 49ers signed DE Justin Smith (formerly of Cin) to a 6 year deal. The NYJ signed G Alan Faneca (former Pro Bowler from Pit) to a 5 year deal. The Eagles have signed DE Chris Clemons (formerly of Oak) to a 5 year deal. The Eagles also made a huge signing acquiring Asante Samuel, arguably one of the NFL's best defensive backs.

The Jags have signed CB Drayton Florence to a 6 year deal. The Cleveland Browns signed WR Donte Stallworth to a 7 year deal. The Broncos have signed WR Keary Colbert (formerly of Car) to a 3 year deal. - 3/1

Trade Announcement: The Buffalo Bills have acquired 3 time Pro Bowl DE Marcus Stroud from the Jaguars for undisclosed draft picks. - 3/1

Panthers Cut DeShaun Foster: The Carolina Panthers made it clear that their ready to make DeAngelo Williams their featued back which many feel was a move they should have made last year. - 2/21

Big Bucks: The Indianapolis Colts have signed TE Dallas Clark to a 6 year 36 million dollar contract extension. We don't usually mention contract extensions here at Predictem because they are BOOOOORING but we got a chuckle out of this one as we can't think of even one NFL TE worth 6 mill a year. - 2/20

No Justice: The Miami Dolphins released MLB Zach Thomas today. A sad day for Dolphins fans who this guy truly gave his heart and soul to for 11 GOOD years. - 2/14

On the Move? Sources are reporting that Bears speedy WR Bernard Berrian will likely be testing the free agent market on February 29th as the Bears are not expected to put the franchise tag on him. Berrian, who has above average speed, will be sought after by many teams lacking a deep threat. - 2/7

Seattle Seahawks 2009? Sources have stated that Jim Mora Jr. will take over the head coaching job in Seattle after Mike Holmgren completes the upcoming 2008/2009 season. - 2/5
