Guest Chappy Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) http://dolphinsindepth.blogspot.com/2008/0...-with-tony.html Brown To Be Ready By Camp Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown is expected to be ready by training camp. Recovering from a torn ACL, it's not known how Brown will be used in the new offense. He looked good last year and got a bigger role in the passing game. Draft him as an RB2 for now, with a chance to put up RB1-type numbers. | April 01, 2008 4:14 PM -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/KentSomers/20577 Warner Looking For Extension The agent representing Cardinals QB Kurt Warner plans on speaking with team GM Rod Graves after the owners' meeting about a new contract. With a cap number of $5 million this year, the team will likely try to sign Warner for another year to spread that money out. If Warner goes into Week 1 as the team's starter, which could actually happen, he has decent value as a QB2. | April 01, 2008 4:25 PM ------------------------------------------------------- http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/foot...colt/index.html Brennan To Miss 8-12 Weeks Hawaii QB Colt Brennan is expected to miss the next 8-12 weeks after undergoing hip surgery to repair a torn labrum on April 7. Brennan has been bothered by his hip ever since the first practice for the Senior Bowl. This is likely going to cause his draft stock to slip even more. Expect Brennan to be drafted in the later rounds, or he might be passed over entirely. | April 01, 2008 5:14 PM -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008...illiams-switch/ Colbert The Starter For Now According to Broncos HC Mike Shanahan, WR Keary Colbert is the projected starter across from WR Brandon Marshall. Shanahan also said he anticipates Colbert helping in the run game and being a physical player. Since his 754-yards in 2004, Colbert has been a huge disappointment so far. There is also word that the Broncos are very high on Vanderbilt WR Earl Bennett, so Colbert's hold on the starting job could be short-lived. We wouldn't worry about him for now, unless your receiving core is in shambles.

Bryant, who signed for the vet minimum, should have no problem landing a starting spot this summer in training camp. His fantasy value is not known, however, but he could be a good in-season pickup if he knocks off the rust. | April 01, 2008 2:43 PM -------------------------------------------------------------- http://ww3.startribune.com/vikingsblog/?p=1488 Vikes Close To Signing Frerotte It is believed that the Vikings are close to signing free agent QB Gus Frerotte. Frerotte isn't an exciting signing, but it's something that could help QB Tarvaris Jackson mature. Frerotte doesn't have much fantasy value, even as a handcuff. | April 01, 2008 1:16 PM ---------------------------------------------------------------- http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/benga...ired-plates.asp Henry Cited Bengals WR Chris Henry was recently cited for driving with expired license plates. Henry had to pay a $149 fine and this incident will likely not affect his status for this season. While he has fantasy value as a borderline WR3/WR4, it would be great if we didn't hear about off-field news. | April 01, 2008 1:05 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------- http://myespn.go.com/blogs/hashmarks/0-6-4...-draft--QB.html HC Doesn't Mind Russell Heavier Raiders HC Lane Kiffin reportedly said he doesn't mind QB JaMarcus Russell playing in the 275-pound range this upcoming season. Kiffin, who says Russell is in fine physical shape, wouldn't say how much Russell actually weighs at this point. Russell is still a low-end QB2 to have for your squad. | April 01, 2008 11:47 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=6706 Ocho Put Himself In Bad Situation According to Bengals HC Marvin Lewis, WR Chad Johnson put himself in a "bad situation" by his trade demands. Lewis went on to say, which we have heard from both him and the team, that Johnson will not go anywhere this offseason. The only way Johnson's fantasy value could take a hit is if the team does the unthinkable and actually sits Johnson on the bench. | April 01, 2008 11:34 AM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.packersnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a.../1989/frontpage Packers Eyeing Quarterbacks Rumors are starting to circulate at the owners' meetings that the Packers are interested in Eagles QB A.J. Feeley and Bills QB J.P. Losman. The Packers probably have a better chance of acquiring Feeley, who figures to be the third-string quarterback behind QB Donovan McNabb and QB Kevin Kolb. The Bills can't afford to let go of Losman, who figures to be the backup to QB Trent Edwards. | April 01, 2008 11:25 AM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://dolphinsindepth.blogspot.com/2008/0...s-start-of.html Beck Still In Team's Plans The Dolphins still plan to use QB John Beck in their plans this year. Obviously that can change quickly if the team drafts Boston College QB Matt Ryan, but for now Beck is still the future at the position for the team. He has value in most dynasty leagues, but that could change after the draft. | April 01, 2008 11:24 AM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3324479 Cutler calls out Brandon McMuffin I didn't realize Brandon Marshall's history of trouble was quite so long. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...in.2eb4023.html Forget McFadden, It's all about Romo Looks like Jerry Jones is not looking for a back, but rather for another first-rate receiver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know this was a long one but I found some of the stories interesting.
