It's a Saturday in the offseason, but thanks to mandatory minicamp this weekend, there is plenty of news out there. I've broken them up by source. If you'd prefer them listed another way, feel free to leave a note in the comments. I'll have a non minicamp post up around 8 or 9, but then later in the day I'll get a photo gallery up of some practice pictures from yesterday and hopefully today.
