The 2010 NFL Draft is over, the first rookie mini-camps are over, and the Spring Meeting is on the horizon. So that means the NFL landscape should be kind of quiet for the next couple months, right? Maybe so, but with OTAs in full swing and the newcomers working hard to learn ...Published on: 7th May, 2010
The saga of the Vikings’ “Williams Wall” and their delayed suspensions (due to a positive drug test for Bumetanide) has been ongoing for more than 18 months now. As of now, the situation is status quo thanks to the ruling of a Minnesota judge. On Thursday, Hennepin County Judge Gary Larson ruled ...Published on: 28th April, 2010
The National Football League increased its credential allotment to “non-traditional” media by 20% for this year's NFL Draft, and Bleacher Report was fortunate enough to be one of those groups credentialed in. But on Sunday morning, I (along with my good friend Scott Engel, a former CBSSports.com and ESPN.com fantasy ...Published on: 27th April, 2010
I was lucky enough to be Bleacher Report’s “Man on the Inside” for the NFL Draft, and the biggest thing I found out was that there’s so much more to the Draft than the selection meeting itself.

With the fifth pick in the second round—No. 37 overall, or as you may know it, the “Donovan McNabb pick”—South Florida safety Nate Allen is the newest Philadelphia Eagle. Allen, a 6’1”, 207 pound free safety, is certainly one hell of an athlete. He was recruited as a quarterback, and his ...Published on: 21st April, 2010
Earlier in the week, I presented a list of five guys making a late surge for first-round consideration (which you can read here). Now, I’m flipping the script. Simple physics says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So naturally, for every player that does “sneak” into ...Published on: 19th April, 2010
Only 32 men per year can call themselves first-round draft picks. That man you see on the left will likely be the first of the 2010 class come this Thursday. Of course, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t more than 32 who are “worthy” per se, but for those near the ...Published on: 16th April, 2010
April 15 isn’t just tax day—it’s the deadline for NFL teams to sign restricted free agents to an offer sheet. That deadline has now come and passed, meaning that any dreams Eagles fans had of landing a player like O.J. Atogwe or D’Qwell Jackson are now relegated to trade fantasies. ...Published on: 8th April, 2010
If you’ve been scouring the sports newswires today, you’ve undoubtedly by now seen the latest gem regarding the Donovan McNabb trade. According to ProFootballTalk and NBC Sports (among other sources), ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter is allegedly floating a theory that can be at best described at highly conspiratorial and at ...
