A few updates 'n' links
JaMarcus Russell is a big fatty.
Warrick Dunn's a Buc again. Could get interesting with Earnest Graham, who was arguably the biggest surprise of 2007. He probably won't challenge Graham for the starting spot, but he could steal some carries and (especially) looks. (The question with Cadillac Williams isn't whether he'll start in '08 - he won't - but rather whether he'll ever start in the NFL again).
Julius Jones is officially a Seahawk, and if he was getting half of the carries in a backfield shared with the man-beast that is Marion Barber, it seems pretty likely that he'll get something similar in Seattle. One thing's for certain: Shaun Alexander's days of being a fantasy RB1 are long gone, never to return.
Jesse Chatman's a Jet, which probably means they have little interest in drafting McFadden (or they don't think he's likely to fall to them). Vernon Gholston it is, then.
In case you haven't seen this before, you can get a list of all the NFL free agents, sortable by position and other stuff, on ESPN.com. A few notable offensive players left on the board:
- DJ Hackett - might be a Redskin, and I like the sound of a Santana Moss/Hackett receiving corps, especially as it would pertain to Jason Campbell's draft position.
- Bryant Johnson - is he gonna be a Bill or isn't he? And if he is... how do I feel about it? I'm really not sure. He's got a great pedigree, but he was incredibly disappointing when he had opportunities in Arizona in 2007 (I know this all too well from picking him up, starting him, and getting a steaming pile of bupkis for my trouble).
- Justin McCareins - couldn't reach an agreement with the Titans, might end up elsewhere. Not much reason to care at this point.
- Vinny Testaverde - I just love that his name's still on the board.
