Denver Broncos Training Camp Notes: The Overlooked
So the number one story this training camp has been the quarterbacks, and it has been close. Each time a new report from Kaptain Kirk or the Denver Post, fans start scanning for any news about Orton, Tebow and Quinn. It makes sense, but a lot has gone unnoticed, and I was hoping to share some...
Kevin Smith: Ready to Roar
College football brought a bevy of highly touted running backs to the 2008 NFL Draft. With the talent pool being so deep at that position, it was inevitable that a few impact runners would fall to the middle rounds. Two beneficiaries of that inevitability were your Houston Texans and their...
Greg Blache does some coaching, talks about strippers
[And NOT the other way around.] Or rookies, same difference, via Redskins 360: "Rookies are fine and dandy, and I'm glad to see them progressing," said Blache, a notoriously blunt coach. "But I don't fall in love with rookies. You're better to fall in love with a stripper than a rookie, because...
Campbell to Coach Football, Hope for Shot With Lions in 2010
For the next 6 months at least, Caleb Campbell will be serving the Army by being a football coach. That's much better than being over in Iraq or Afghanistan, but it really makes me wonder why he couldn't just play for the Lions instead. I get that the ruling is what it is, but to take Campbell's...
What's the Deal With Dizon?
With one full day of practice complete, the Lions are moving forward full speed ahead. Well, almost all the Lions are. Aside from Caleb Campbell, who was ordered back to West Point, Jordon Dizon is the only Lions rookie that wasn't participating in practice today. It's not that he's injured or...
Details of Gosder Cherilus' Contract
It's nice when the Lions don't have to break the bank to pay first-round draft picks. First-round draft pick Gosder Cherilus inked a five-year contract worth slightly less than $15 million, but $8.9 million of that will come in guaranteed dollars. The bonuses will be paid out over the first two...
Gosder Cherilus Signs a Five-Year Deal
With the start of training camp rapidly approaching, the Lions thankfully have signed their first-round pick. Right tackle Gosder Cherilus was signed to a five-year deal earlier today, and since he has a contract, he only ended up missing a team meeting. That means that he will be available to...
Lions Were Unaware of Dizon Arrest
Linebacker Jordon Dizon was arrested six days before the 2008 NFL Draft for a variety of driving charges, including suspicion of drunk driving. Although the arrest happened way back in April, the public never learned about the incident until late last month. The Lions were in the same boat as...
Lions Sign Six Rookies
With training camp officially getting started Thursday, the Lions were beginning to run out of time to sign their rookies. Third-round pick Cliff Avril already signed earlier this month, but he was the only Lions rookie to do so; that is, until today. Six other Lions rookies were signed to...
5 teams (including Colts) have zero drafted players signed
The Colts, Browns, Cowboys, Packers, and Vikings have the dubious honor of not having one single drafted rookie signed with training camps opening mere days from now. Now, obviously, this is not a sign of laziness, nor does this necessarily mean there teams' rookies will hold out from camp. But...
