I’m sure that the news about the New York Jets‘ benching safety Kerry Rhodes is old at this point. However, a new story has surfaced in the midst of his changing position to pine pony. When Rhodes signed his contract with the Jets, the signing bonus and base salary were apparently only guaranteed for an […]

I was shocked when Larry Johnson was released by the Kansas City Chiefs. The reason for my emotion was this man, this football player, was at one time the most dominant running back in the NFL. Larry Johnson was the guy taken 1st overall in fantasy leagues everywhere. Until Monday, LJ, like Shaun Alexander at one […]
Yesterday, I tweeted that DeSean Jackson of the Philadelphia Eagles dropped DeBartolo Sports as his representation and picked up Rosenhaus Sports. Jackson is on pace to break his impressive stat-line that he posted in his first year in the league. Last year, he barely missed breaking 1,000 yards receiving, but only caught two touchdowns. This […]
On Tuesday November 1oth, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Judge David Doty’s previous order against the NFL. The court affirmed the previous judge’s ruling and declared that Mike Vick‘s contract should remain under Doty’s oversight. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello mentioned that Doty’s ruling on Vick’s bonuses was upheld in large part because the […]

News has broke from the Dallas Cowboys that they have signed DeMarcus Ware to a 6-year/$78,000,001 contract with nearly $40 million guaranteed. I will explain the added $1, shortly. Before signing this big extension, Ware was boasting a […]
Brady Quinn looked ever-so-promising at Notre Dame. He made many believe that he’d be a solid quarterback in the NFL, but after a rough start to the season, he has been benched for former starter Derek Anderson. The devastation this causes on Quinn is two-fold. For one, he has to deal with the fact that […]
Jay Cutler has agreed to a 2-year/$30 million contract extension with the Chicago Bears; this contract includes $20 million in guaranteed money. Cutler is scheduled to make about $50 million. The possibility of a lockout in 2011 made Cutler’s agent, Bus Cook, more eager to get his client some guaranteed cash. Cutler was drafted 11th […]
That tweet from @RosenhausSports (Drew Rosenhaus), flashed on my screen yesterday. Congratulations are definitely in order for Mr. Rosenhaus and his colleagues. Even though LenDale White is playing for the 0-6 and terribly disappointing, Tennessee Titans, and even though the RB has only racked up 148 yards from scrimmage thus far this season, the team […]
