Search Called Off For Missing NFL Players


The search for missing Oakland Raider, Marquis Cooper, and Detroit Lion, Corey Smith, was called off yesterday at 6:30 PM EST. The two men along with two college friends from South Florida were deep sea fishing in the Gulf Coast when their boat capsized. Nick Schulyer was the only survivor and said after the boat capsized the players swam underneath the boat to retrieve life vests. At some point, everyone except Schulyer were separated from the boat. After a three day search none of the other three were found and all search efforts were called off.

Chiefs Acquire Cassel From Pats; Winslow Traded to Bucs

The New Enlgnad Patriots have traded QB Matt Cassel to the Kansas City Chiefs for the Chiefs 2009 2nd round draft pick. Cassel started 15 games in place of injured Tom Brady last year. He completed 63 percent of his passes, throwing for 3,693 yards and 21 touchdowns. He will battle with incumbent starter Tyler Thigpen for the Chiefs starting QB job. If Cassel can have the same type of year with the Chiefs as he did last season with the Patriots, look for the Chiefs to be strong contenders in the AFC West this season.

In other news, Cleveland traded talented TE Kellen Winslow to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for undisclosed draft picks. Kellen Winslow has all the talent in the world, but has been hampered by injuries. He made the Pro Bowl in 2007 when he had career highs in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.

Haynesworth Cashes In

Free-agent defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth cashed in with the Washington Redskins signing a 7 year $100 million contract. He joins an exclusive list of NFL players who have received $100 million contracts. Of that $100 million, $41 million is guaranteed. Does he deserve all that money playing DT? Only time will tell.

Grossman Done In Chicago; Detroit or Houston Next?

QB Rex Grossman's tenure in Chicago is over. He never became what many thought he would become, the next great QB. His time in Chicago was up and down, many more down's than up's, and he lost his starting job last year to Kyle Orton.

What's next for Grossman? Both Houston and Detroit are possibilities. Houston is looking for a new back-up to Matt Schaub since current back-up Sage Rosenfels will surely be traded. Detroit needs a whole new team and Grossman might just get a chance to start for the Lions.

What about Dallas? Sure they have Tony Romo, but who else do they have? Brad Johnson? We saw the mess the Cowboys made with Johnson starting in place of injured Tony Romo. So could the new back-up to Romo be Grossman? Grossman has expressed interest in backing up Romo, which could either help Grossman or put him farther behind the curve than he already is. Romo's style is reckless at best and Grossman probably would learn nothing from the current Cowboy starter. The Cowboys do have a good offensive coordinator in Jason Garrett who has made Romo look like a year in and year out Pro Bowler, can he do the same for Grossman? We shall see what lies ahead for Tyrannosaurus Rex when the free agency period starts tonight!

Dolphins Sign S Wilson

The Miami Dolphins have signed safety Gibril Wilson to a multiyear contract. The five-year vet was released by the Oakland Raiders after only one year of service after spending the previous four seasons with the New York Giants and starting at free safety for their 2007 Super Bowl championship team.


Giants Sign RB Jacobs to Multi-Year Deal

The New York Giants re-signed running back Brandon Jacobs to a 4 year/$25 million contract just two weeks after placing the franchise tag on him. He is guanranteed $13 million and will make $15 million over the first two seasons. The big, bruising back has been the focal point of the Giants offense the last two seasons and led the team in rushing yards (1,089) and touchdowns (15) despite missing three games due to a knee injury. Jacobs is only the third Giants RB to rush for 1,000 yards in consecutive season and looks to continue that success this next season. This is a big move by the Giants to lock up one of the league's best and most productive backs. Check out this video of Jacobs running over Washington Redskins safety, Laron Landry, to see just how powerful Jacobs is.
