Ohiocinco Doesn’t Call The Shots In Cincy
Chad Ohiocinco as stupid as that name is, can move boulders with the media and the fan base in Cincinnati. When he’s un-happy, the team plays poorly and the fans get ticked off. When Chad’s goofing around and getting his way, the Bengals are contenders.
This offseason, number 85 has made a small request to his front office; add veteran wide receiver Terrell Owens to the Bengals Orange and Black…he (for now) has been ignored.
The Bengals instead have gone out and signed a different WR option in Antonio Bryant, who has agreed to a four-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals Wednesday. Dancing with the Stars will distract the unpredictable big mouth, and only time will tell if he cares or not, but if you ignore the wishes of your bratty kid and go out and buy him the wrong action figure….odds are he kicks and screams for the one he wanted.
Antonio Bryant had career highs with 83 catches for 1,248 yards and seven touchdowns in 2008 with Tampa Bay.

NFL News & Headlines
Chiefs Sign Jones
Kansas City Chiefs have signed free-agent RB Thomas Jones to a two year deal. The 31 year old ex-New York Jet ran for 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2009. This move should add that much needed punch in the back field for the Chiefs.
Say Goodbye Mr. Anderson
Only one day after the Browns acquired backup Seneca Wallace in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks, Derek Anderson gets released. The 26 year old Anderson has spent 5 up and down seasons with the Browns after being snagged off of the waivers in 05. With Brady Quinn looking to get the chance to become the full time starter in Cleveland and Wallace the ace in the whole if things go wrong, Anderson was dead weight.
Broncos Super Size
Trying to improve on an average defensive line the Denver Broncos have signed DE Jarvis Green and, DT Jamal Williams. While both players are huge in size the expectations haven’t always been filled, making todays signings not the end all solution to the defensive line…just some much needed depth.

Food For Thought: Ochocinco Twit Pic
“Everybody get used to this, the only thing missing is the Bengal stripes” Ochocino says on his twitter page. ( here )
It seems Chad Ochocinco is having a busy off-season; Dancing with the stars and recruiting are two of the hobbies that we know of , what’s next rock climbing?.
Terrel Owens is the favorite in Chad’s eyes but on Tuesday Cincinnati will be a full house as WR-Antonio Bryant is coming in as a free agent for a meet and greet.
Think that’s strange? check this out: McNabb and Owens are teaming up on a basketball in the new season of Spike TV’s “Pros vs. Joes.” The episode features NFL players that played college basketball against former NBA stars
NFL Trades: Picks For Players
It’s not often a NFL club can dump an unwanted player for anything these days, a once top prospect becomes a plead for a late round draft pick, but Either way here are a few back-ups that are making a move.
Browns Acquire Seneca Wallace
This trade isn’t anything to get too excited about, unless you write for a NFL site and say it’s going to happen. Our man, DC had mentioned that it was in Holmgrens style to steal away a back-up prospect just as he did when coming to Seattle ( Mock Draft Part 1 )
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Browns have struck a deal with the Seahawks for Wallace, who was drafted in 2003 by Seattle. No Details yet
Reggie Brown To The Buc’s
Eagles dumped a large contract on Monday after finally getting rid of a receiver that never panned out. WR Reggie Brown was not a good fit in the Andy Reid westcoast offense and was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a 6th round pick.
Brown is under contract through 2014. Per NFLPA records, he is due to receive a base salary of $1 million in 2010, $1.2 million in 2011, $1.6 million in 2012, $3 million in 2013, and $3.7 million in 2014.
S Kerry Rhodes to Cards
The Jets traded safety Kerry Rhodes to the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday for a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft and a seventh-rounder in 2011.
Lions Add CB Houston
After the Falcons lured away Dunte Robinson they decided to trade prospect CB Chris Houston. The Falcons receive in exchange for Houston, the Lions’ sixth-round pick. Also, the two teams will flip flop draft picks in the fifth round.

Window Closing For McNabb-Reid ?
Since the 2004 season NFL pundits alike have not recorded one single off-season without stating “the window is closing for Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid”, but the Philly combo is still here and still going strong (at least for now).
Throughout the years most of these stories have been tabloid conjecture or just pure opinion, but now with age sinking in and regular starters like Westbrook and Dawkins gone, the pressure to succeed has to be creeping in.
When the Eagles lost Super Bowl XXXVIII to the Patriots many thought their reign as a supreme NFC contender was over, but it wasn’t, continuing to dominate the NFC year after year. The primary concern that most expressed over that time was McNabb’s tenure in Philly, but again, he remained in the Philly green and with the coaches confidence.
Fast forward to 2010 it’s nothings changed, Reid has repeatedly stated that McNabb is the team’s starting quarterback.
With a surplus of young talent on both sides of the ball the opportunity to win a Super Bowl isn’t necessarily shrinking, but the opportunity for McNabb and Reid to win one together certainly is. Last season Eagles fans

History Says No To Repeat Of 2000 Yard Rusher.
Last season Chris Johnson became a fantasy owner’s best friend with his quest for a 2000 yard rushing season. Not only did he accomplish this goal, but he also set the mark for total yards from scrimmage. Johnson is already proclaiming that he will be in hot pursuit of a back to back 2000 yard rushing campaign. Unfortunately, for Johnson history does not show an overly positive outcome the following year for backs coming off of a 2000 yard season. Below is a listing of all six men who have achieved a 2000 rushing season along with the yards per carry for that season.

The numbers displayed above are undoubtedly very impressive. Each player went over five yards per carry in their 2000 yard season. Most of these players even got close to or even up to the six yards per carry average. It is easy to understand that these
Top 5 Destinations For LaDainian Tomlinson
LaDainian Tomlinson is a free agent and is in the process of finding a new team. There are many teams within the league that would love to have him join their backfields. Only problem is that Tomlinson has the power to dictate where he may end up. Not only will he be looking for a legitimate Super Bowl contender to play for, he will also be looking to get paid. This could be Tomlinson’s final chance to cash in on a good deal. After taking a look at the teams that would be in need of his services, I decided to narrow the field down to five teams.
The Criteria: Potential Super Bowl contenders, a need for a running back, and a desire for the team to sign LT to a contract to more than one year.
5) New York Jets – With the release of Thomas Jones the bulk of the workload will be distributed to Shonn Greene. However, the team could use another solid back to pound the ball into the end zone and for short yardage purposes. Leon Washington was re-signed, but he is more of a third down back and will be used a lot on special teams. There have been reports of the possibility of Jones re-signing with the team, but he is going to be visiting with other teams lessening the likelihood of him going back to New York.
4) Pittsburgh Steelers – With Willie Parker testing free agency the Steelers are going to be looking for a backup running back for Rashard Mendenhall. This is an overall solid team both on defense and offense. Tomlinson would instantly improve the backfield situation for the Steelers and he would love playing for a team that would be willing to rely more on the run.
3) Green Bay Packers – The Packers are a team that is going to rely more on the pass than the run, but the addition of Tomlinson would give

Aaron Kampman Signs With The Jacksonville Jaguars
DE Kampman signed a multiyear deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday night. Kampman was our #4 sleeper in our 5 Underrated Free Agents Worthy Of Respect , and with all the (adult aged) free agents this year we feel the Jaguars made out like bandits.
Yes Julius Peppers has a wing span of a runway and yes his blitzing speed is worthy of elite status, but Kampman skills can not be taken lightly. His ability can add a much needed boost to the Jaguars defensive line. A must after the poor performance from last years 1st round pick Derrick Harvey, who struggled. Although the job at opposite end will be either Harvey or Quentin Groves, the training camp battle should be interesting.

Mike Vick To Get His Bonus
The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly contacted Michael Vick’s agent Joel Segal to announce that they will pay his $1.5 million roster bonus on Wednesday. Should the Eagles opt to keep Vick for the next season they will have to fork over $5.2 million to the former 1st overall pick.
$1.5 Million affords the Eagles the right to Michael Vick until they decide to give him the remainder of the $5.2. Vick is likely to be on the team’s roster until preseason just in case the market changes and his value increases (if the eagles were to have had a good enough offer for him prior to March, 5th they would have pulled the trigger and not needed to pay him the bonus).
There is rumored expressed interest in Vick, but nothing too serious. Should he stay on the roster Vick will re-join the “Shane Falco Corner” with young gun Kevin Kolb. NFL.com reports that “Philadelphia expects Vick, starter Donovan McNabb and backup Kevin Kolb all to be in training camp this summer”.
