boldin aint going anywhere.

from nfl.com

Boldin’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told Cardinals general manager Rod Graves that, while his client remains receptive to a trade, he is willing to sign a long-term deal with Arizona. Previously, Boldin had said he never would re-sign with the Cardinals, but now, after some time away from the team and the game, he has softened his stance.

However, if a long-term deal cannot be worked out, Boldin still would like to be dealt. But for the time being, Boldin wanted to give the Cardinals additional options. Rosenhaus and Graves met Thursday in Indianapolis. They covered some ground. There still is plenty more to address.

More things falling the birds way

It looks like Chris Samuels who paved so much of the road that Portis used against the birds in the first game is out for the season

ASHBURN, Va. -- Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels is out for the season with a torn right triceps, the latest blow for a Washington Redskins team that has sunk to last place in the NFC East.

Also looks like Roy Williams isn't exactly happy with his role in Big D

"I don't get many chances," he said. "So I have to capitalize on the couple throws that come my way. I had this stuff down down after Week 1 of me joining the team. At first, I was a third-down and red-zone receiver, but now I'm supposed to be full time. I'm a coachable wide receiver. If I don't catch many and we win, I'm happy, but it's still a problem. When I don't catch any and we lose, I'm just pissed."

I love to see the division collapse around us as we get stronger its a nice change from the feeling i usually have in march

was just checking nfl rosters for fullbacks

and i noticed that Thomas Tapeh was no longer on a football team. Do we really think klecko is that good that we are not bothering to pick up a guy that we know knows the offense. was he injured? was he much worse than i remember him being? he could not be any worse than klecko, christ i would like to see eckle out there and find out if he was a waste of a roster spot

not to concern anyone...

but it looks like our secondary just got a hell of a lot thinner.

just looked at the injury report

hanson and dawk no participation today with hamstring issues and lito no participation with the groin injury he got last week,

i would like to see the contract Tom Coughlin has with the Devil to have every team the Giants play this season be banged up or just flat out suck.

Let's hope Demps lives up to his ballhawking in college if Dawk can't play

our front office has lost their minds

The Eagles signed linebacker Tracy White. To make room for White on the 53-man roster, the team released RB Tony Hunt.

A six-year veteran, White (6-0, 238 pounds) spent the last two-plus seasons with the Green Bay Packers before being released on 10/7/08. Originally signed by Seattle as an undrafted rookie in 2003 out of Howard, White played in 20 games (two starts) with the Seahawks, recording 26 tackles and one sack. He spent the 2005 season as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, before signing with the Packers in 2006.

A strong special teams performer, White has racked up 68 career special teams tackles in 69 games, including two in the 2007 postseason, as well as a forced fumble on 1/20/08 vs. NYG. He also recovered a fumbled punt in the end zone for a touchdown on 9/9/07 against the Eagles.

A 27-year-old native of Charleston, SC, White started 44 games at Howard, leading the team in tackles all four years and becoming the school's all-time leader with 500 career tackles, adding 22 sacks and six interceptions.

Espn seems to think the birds may trade for TJ Houshmandzadeh and that it would be a trade that could help both side,

Why it works for Cincinnati: Like Williams, Houshmandzadeh is a free agent after this season and re-signing him will prove very difficult. Who would want to stay in Cincinnati? The franchise tag is an option, but Cincinnati just used two high draft picks on this position and brought Chris Henry back to the team. A second-round pick could pry him away.

Why it works for Philadelphia: Although he isn't a home run threat, Houshmandzadeh is a very precise route runner with great hands who excels in moving the chains and scoring points in the red zone. That's something the Eagles could really use. Donovan McNabb really needs a primary target and the Eagles acquired extra picks in the 2009 draft during last year's draft. Don't count out Tennessee in this or any of the wide receiver possibilities either.

I dunno if I buy this but it could be interesting
