  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. (More …)

  Oakland Raiders sign Javon Walker to HUGE contract

  Apparently the Raiders have decided that Javon Walker is a better receiver than Randy Moss and have agreed to sign him to an insane 6 year, $55 million contract. If the Raiders couldn’t get it done with the greatest receiver of this era, then why the hell would they think they could with Walker? How can they justify paying Walker so much money, especially considering the fact that he’s coming off a season where he played in a whopping five games and that he’s only started every game in a season once in the past six years? Many questions surround this move by the Raiders, but one thing is certain…they will be a bad team again next year, unless JaMarcus Russell turns into Tom Brady over night.

  Guess that's the end of Chad Johnson

  At least, unless he’s not a man of his word, that is:

  Johnson admitted Thursday on the NFL Network that he has “gotten out of line every now and then.” But he added, “What great one doesn’t? What great one is not emotional about what he does? What great one does not have passion about what he does? What great one hates losing?

  “Find me a great one that doesn’t do the same things that I’ve done in the past and I’ll stop playing. Period.”

  All it should take to end his career is a phone call from this guy…
