Ravens make promises...
Baltimore says it will go get a big name free agent and speculation is revolving around top notch receivers. Rumor has it, Torry Holt and Marvin Harrison have been asked to speak to the GM Ozzie Newsome. Baltimore could be a dangerous team by adding a top receiver to pair with Derrick Mason. Joe Flacco is really happy right now!

T.O. finds new home in Buffalo!
Owens only took two days to find a new home. His departure from Dallas and arrival in Buffalo only shows everyone that if you are talented and one of the top five guys at your position, you can find a place to play. For everything negative Owens brings to the table, he produces results everywhere he goes. Statistically speaking he is in the top three in nearly every receiving category for his career. My honest opinion is he will produce in Buffalo also and be a good fantasy option. Lee Evans is either smiling because T.O. will take his double coverage or upset that Owens will want the ball every play. Either way, Buffalo just gained one of the best producers receivers ever!

more T.O. drama...
A news article from my blog reader at ESPN.com
Terrell Owens has been on three different NFL teams, and despite the fact that he's been tremendously productive with all of them, they have all eventually decided that he's just not worth the trouble.
So here's the big question: Will there be a fourth team for Owens?
My knee-jerk reaction is that yes, of course there will be a fourth team, because NFL history has shown time and time again that no matter how much of a disruption, nuisance, or attention whore someone happens to be, there's always someone out there who will roll the dice on immense talent.
But keep a few things in mind. First, Terrell Owens is 35 years old, and if this offseason has shown us anything, it's that old guys don't always get the money they want. I can see a lot of teams saying, "Hey, it might be fun to have Terrell Owens out there catching passes for us," but I can't see a lot of teams who will guarantee him big-time dollars to do it. That could be an issue.
Owens has also said that he wanted to end his career with the Cowboys. He's shown time and time again that he's very sensitive to criticism. Maybe this is the thing that makes him say to himself, "This just isn't worth it anymore."
I don't know. Again, I tend to think that some team out there will convince themselves he's worth a shot, but I see a lot of stumbling blocks along the way. I think it's likely, though not necessarily a given, that Terrell Owens plays football for someone in '09.
As for who that might be, one team immediately comes to mind, and it might be the one team in the NFL with an owner crazier than Jerry Jones. I speak, of course, of the Oakland Raiders. Al Davis loves to make a splash, he loves a vertical passing game, he has a high tolerance for guys with behavioral issues, and he will spend money. Cap room would be an issue, but it seems like teams always find a way to figure these things out.
Just a thought. I'm sure we'll mention this once or twice again before the day is over.

Top Players on the move
Kurt Warner signs two-year deal worth $23M with Arizona, Laverneus Coles signs deal with Cincinnati to replace TJH. Ray Lewis also stayed in Baltimore for another three years. The news for players on the way out, Terrell Owens was cut this morning by the Cowboys, and the rumor mill is churning with reports St. Louis will cut Torry Holt this week after he asked to be released. The rumored destination is of course Dallas!

More free agent news!
Tennessee Titans missed out the big free agent I thought they should have pursued in TJH. TJ signed with Seattle yesterday filling a huge void they had at receiver. The Titans however signed free agent Nate Washington from Pittsburgh ti fill the receiver hole. I think this is a big help for us. We also signed Jevon Haye from Tampa to become our new defensive tackle. Haye is a three year starter from a good Tampa defense.
Tampa signed Derrick Ward from NYG, and to me this was a great sign. Tampa should get immediate impact at running back from him.

Titans free agent news!
The Titans have lost another free agent this morning. Brandon Jones has signed with the 49ers, making the Titans wide receiving corp more depleted than before.
In some good free agent news, the Titans resigned Kerry Collins for two more years as well as nickle back Vincent Fuller. The Titans also have two bigger name free agents coming to Nashville this week. Nate Washington, wide receiver, from the Steelers will be her today and Chris Canty, starting defensive tackle, for the Cowboys will also be here this week.
I really hope they take some of that Haynesworth money and get a big name WR like maybe TJH from Cincinnati!
