The Chicago Tribune came out with some scores. Scores are out of 50 possible points. The good: Matthew Stafford (score = 38). I have heard from many at UGA’s Pro Day, who say that Stafford truly impressed on the field. He now has impressed many more with his smarts. Personally, I feel that Stafford has […]

Offense QB – Stephen McGee ~ Texas A&M = Another guy who lit it up at his pro day. He also can really run (4.6). Has a pretty decent set of tools to develop into a solid backup. RB – Cedric Peerman – Virginia = His attitude is what I love. A very serious guy […]
Here are some deals that caught my eye over the past week: Alvin Keels and Joel Segal got DeAngelo Hall $54 million ($22.5 million guaranteed) in a 6-year deal with the Redskins. The Redskins have already spent a lot not only on Hall, but also on Albert Haynesworth. Chad Speck got his client a 7-year […]
Two aging stars, Manny Ramirez and Kurt Warner, signed contracts in the first week of March, but that is where the similarities between the two end.
Thanks to a colleague and friend of mine, Hays Mathis, for letting me know that the U.S. Supreme Court asked the Solicitor General’s Office to comment on the Cert Request for the case of American Needle Inc. v. National Football League (2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 17553). Reebok has an exclusive license with the NFL to […]
You may have never heard of him and might not know how to pronounce his first and last name, but Nnamdi Asomugha makes a lot more money than you do. In fact, he is now the highest paid player in the NFL, making more than household names like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Terrell Owens. […]

Alabama’s offense could not move, which Smith’s advisors might have tried to blame on Smith’s absence from the game. But those thoughts […]
Anyone know how many kickers have been franchised in the NFL’s history? The Cincinnati Bengals just tagged Shayne Graham and he will receive a nice 1-year stipend of $2.483 million. The New York Giants will pay Brandon Jacobs $25,000 per pound on his body ($6.6 million). Leroy Hill and the Seattle Seahawks are happy about […]
Early in September 2008, I covered Ahman Green‘s decision to restructure his contract for less guaranteed money. At the time, I felt that his agent made a smart move in suggesting that Green restructure. Hindsight is 20/20, though, and it looks like it was the wrong decision. Ahman was supposed to make $3.8 million last […]
Last updated: April 24, 2009 (Also check out Thorn’s Big Board) Round 1 1. Detroit – QB Matthew Stafford ~ Georgia = If the Lions feel that Stafford is the best player in the draft then they need to do everything they can to get a deal done and draft the kid. I’ve said it […]
