2012 Free Agency: Stanford Routt adds to deep cornerback class
The Oakland Raiders have released cornerback Stanford Routt just one year after giving him a massive contract extension. This isn't so much an indictment of Stanford Routt as it is a reflection of the insane contract the Oakland Raiders handed out, and their salary cap problems. At least the Bucs...
2011 49ers Grades: Ahmad Brooks
Yesterday, we learned that NaVorro Bowman is mini-Patrick Willis, and we'll continue with our grades today by taking a look at another linebacker. We're going alphabetically, so this is by coincidence, but we'll need take a look at one of the 49ers' pending free agents, Ahmad Brooks. If you check...
NFL Free Agent Feeding Frenzy Finale – Team Needs (AFC South and AFC West) and Position Wrap-Up
It’s been a long haul, but now we’re wrapping up with a look at our final two divisions – the AFC South and AFC West - as well as a drive-by look at the top five guys at each position (besides the O-line which was covered previously). Didn’t quite get this series wrapped up before the official...
NFL Free Agent Feeding Frenzy, Part 5 – Team Needs (AFC East and AFC North)
Free agency is literally just around the corner - word is that the feeding frenzy will officially kick off at 10:00 EST Tuesday. Having run down the biggest needs for each team in the NFC, let’s turn our gaze towards the AFC. As before, I’ll lay out my thoughts on the top three needs for each...
NFL Free Agent Feeding Frenzy, Part 4 – Team Needs (NFC South and NFC West)
Continuing our look at teams’ likeliest free agent needs, let’s take a look at the balance of the NFC.

NFL Free Agent Feeding Frenzy, Part 3 – Team Needs (NFC East and NFC North)
At the suggestion of one of our learned Barkers, I thought I’d take a step back from the individual player analysis to lay out an overview of what each team is likely to try and lay claim to once the cannon sounds (still anticipated to be 12:01 AM on 7/25, although I’m sure many GMs have been...
Free Agency - Mine and Others'
"This," I thought, as I leaned into the chair’s plush leather depths while surveying the mahogany-lined cabin of the Barking Carnival G5, "is the life." When Sailor first contacted me about ‘exploring mutually beneficial blogosphere opportunities’ I did my best to remain outwardly calm, but I’d be...
A Look At 2012 Free Agents For The Houston Texans
Normally, at this time of year, I would be focused on the NFL Draft on a nearly exclusive level. Actually, I would have been thinking about the draft around November and really begun focusing on absorbing information like a sponge. When you have a good team, the draft takes a backseat until...
A Look At Chris Myers And His Contract Negotations, Or How His Deal Won't Break Houston's Cap
One of the key offseason contract negotiations to take place for the Houston Texans over the coming weeks will be with Pro Bowl center Chris Myers. From a player standpoint, and this is by no means disrespectful to Myers, his deal probably rates third in importance to the franchise, behind...
